A workshop at the 27th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2024) in San José, Costa Rica
This one-day in-person workshop will invite together scholars from the CSCW community with expertise in immigration and displacement, climate change and sustainability, and/or mobility justice to consider the challenge of climate migration and how we, as a community, might respond. We will draw from previous workshops on migration and displacement in CSCW and HCI, as well as draw in researchers from other related areas, e.g., ICTD, development scholarship, and sustainability sciences. In this workshop, participants will engage in an array of activities such as concept mapping, archival creation, research proposal ideation and presentations. Outcomes will include the development of a community of scholars working at the nexus of these crises, common understanding of relevant concepts and themes, and a shared research agenda to guide future work.
HCI, Mobility Justice, and Migration in the Face of Climate Crisis.f.pdfWorkshop Themes:
Infrastructuring collaborative technologies for climate migrant communities: resource sharing, mutual aid, diaspora connections
Data justice: participatory data governance, data colonialism and sovereignty

Climate change as a widely discussed but poorly understood contributor to migration decisions, with impacts on migrants journey and arrival in their destinations
The lack of official recognition of climate refugees and its impacts on immigration technologies and pathways
The role of data and algorithms in the resettlement processes of climate migrants. How the artificial intelligence (AI) systems are or could be used to track, surveil, or predict migration account for climate change
Ethics related to the use of synthetic data in migration fore casting and migration relief planning
How migrant diasporas use ICTs spread to information and awareness about climate change impacts and migration experiences around the world
Socio-technical approaches and systems to support resettlement organizations cope with the unique challenges posed by climate migration
