We invite researchers, designers, and practitioners from HCI and Sustainability, or who attend DIS, CSCW, C&T, PD, and CHI, to submit a contribution to the workshop. We are interested in work that focuses on solidarity, collective ownership, democratic governance, or aims to envision just futures addressing the dominant extractive for-profit frameworks.
We encourage interested participants to submit a 300-500-word article in a single-column ACM template or an alternative creative artifact– say, a short manifesto, design artifact, story, work of art, case study, or zine– that demonstrates how their interests or work intersects with the ideas of cooperatives or commoning practices. Submissions could reflect on personal experiences, present case studies, highlight how these concepts may manifest in their research, or explore speculative ideas around cooperatives and commoning. For instance, participants may share a case study highlighting the practices, tensions, or future visions in their research community in relation to democratic ownership and governance of a shared resource (i.e., a key concept in cooperatives and commoning practices).
Submissions will be accepted through this form. Workshop organizers will evaluate submissions based on its relevance and ability to generate meaningful discussions. Accepted submissions will be published on the workshop website. All participants must register (details to be shared after acceptance), and at least one author from each accepted submission must attend the workshop.
Accepted submissions will be published on the workshop website to allow participants to engage with one another's work beforehand.
