Workshop structure

The workshop is planned as a one-day event with presentations, analytical and methodological explorations, and design-focused discussions. 

9.00-9.15: Welcome and Introductions 

9.15-10.30: Show and Tell

Participants will introduce their papers, provocations, or artefacts they have created for discussion.

10 min for each author of a position paper (including questions and discussion). 

3 min for others (including questions and discussion). 

Prepare questions if there is anything specific you want feedback on. 

10.30-11.00: Coffee break

11.00-11.30: Keynote Presentation: ‘Regulating Sustainability: Bridging the Gap between Law and Design’

This talk will examine EU legislative efforts to improve the sustainability of consumer Internet of Things technologies and reflect more broadly on the role of design as a regulatory tool. The talk will be followed by Q&A

11.30-12.15: The Right to Repair Cards

The R2R cards are a tool of 90 EU/UK legal requirements that require the sustainable design of consumer technologies. We will have an exercise using some of the cards to evaluate a specific technology to examine how to improve its longevity/reduce routes to redundancy. This will involve group work to map out key risks, safeguards, and implementation challenges around building more sustainable technologies, through the cards.

12.15-13.15:  Lunch

13.15-14.30: The Modalities of Regulation Cards

Hands-on activities to test the use of the Modalities of Regulation design cards. 

14.30-15.00: Coffee break

15.00 - 15.30: Group discussion about the use of the cards 

This session will focus on the use of the Modalities of Regulation cards.

15.30-17.00: Sustainable HCI/CSCW Mapping Exercise

During this session, we will discuss different metaphors to think of the entanglements between regulations, design, and practices. We will identify a variety of contexts and/or application domains within Sustainable HCI/CSCW, where regulatory aspects are particularly relevant. We will map out and evaluate methodologies, tools, or conceptual frameworks to explore encounters with regulation in HCI and CSCW research. 

17.00-17.15: Final remarks 

Moving on and plans for the future
