<span style="color: black;" class="">Democratic and socially just practices of design have always foregrounded people as agents of socio-political change. In more recent years a growing recognition of other forms of participation beyond the human have emerged.
These include participation not only from technological entities, such as AI and algorithms, but also participation with biophysical, ecological, and spiritual worlds. How we design equitably with these prescient entities is increasingly of concern for many
participatory designers and researchers seeking to have meaningful impact.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
Through invoking a hopeful design of social justice that responds to multiplicity and relational interdependence, PDC 2022 will explore what it means to embrace cosmological approaches to participatory design. This means valuing different kinds of participatory
alliances that span micro-organisms to eco-systems, micro-finance to global supply chains and circular economies, algorithmic data justice for individuals and distributed communities.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black;" class="">We especially encourage submissions that respond to the conference themes, including:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">Designing between (biophysical, spiritual, material and digital) worlds:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>How do we learn to listen differently and expand our perceptions of different worlds? How can we be attentive and respond to
the invisible? How do we draw and blur boundaries around what is included and excluded in design if everything is so interrelated? How do we define what kinds of knowledge are worthy of exploration and what is not, and what are the problematics associated
with this? Who and what can speak in and for design?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">Sentipensar (feeling-thinking):<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>How can we enact and represent design practice that is difficult to describe but is heartfelt and passionate? How can we practice careful design that values emotional
intelligence and poetics in response to people, land and other species? How can we create opportunities for generative design practice that integrates emotions, rationality and forms of spirituality? How can we better attune to different forms of expression
in a socially just way?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">Relational commons:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>What is included and excluded from the commons and who gets to decide? How can we embrace and nurture local knowledges yet speak and connect across boundaries, cultures and nations
and traditions? Does the relational commons look the same from anywhere? How do we work through the impacts of colonialism and recognise the significance of specific geography and territories on relational commons? How do we respect and attune to experiences
of relational commons when we are working remotely or digitally?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
<b class="">Activating protest against injustice:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>What skills can participatory designers bring to acts of protest and civil disobedience? How do designers work through the moral and ethical complexities of social
justice work in meaningful ways? How do we design to allow for healing and grief as quiet acts of solidarity and co-operation as protest? How can we find creative, artful and productive forms of participatory design and protest that challenge perceptions of
activism? How can PD work improve understandings between and bring oppositely positioned groups closer together in contexts where right and wrong is in the eye of the beholder? How can we encourage multiple voices and qualities of protest to embrace different
technical systems or species and forms of participation?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
