Dear Colleagues,



If you have experience conducting participatory design with diverse
populations, we would like to invite you to the *Design4Diversity workshop
<http://www.empathicdesignandtech.org/design4diversity>* to be held at
the PervasiveHealth
2018 <http://pervasivehealth.org/> Conference in New York City! All the
information about the workshop and paper submission is included below. Let
us know if you have any questions please.



Best,

*Workshop Organizers*

*Design4Diversity 2018
<http://www.empathicdesignandtech.org/design4diversity>: Workshop on
Designing with Diverse Populations: Sharing Experiences, Best Practices,
and Opportunities*



To be held in conjunction with the *12th EAI International Conference on
Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, PervasiveHealth 2018
<http://pervasivehealth.org/>*



May 21-24, 2018 in New York, USA



*Call for Papers*

Participatory design is a highly valued and widely used method in the
Pervasive Health community. A growing focus on health, wellness, and social
good have expanded the use of participatory design to a variety of
populations. From children and older adults to patients and refugees, the
Pervasive Health community is engaging in important design work to benefit
diverse populations. The aims of these design activities include the
development of assistive technologies, novel applications of interaction
paradigms, and empowerment of vulnerable groups. This workshop will bring
together researchers and practitioners to compare and contrast their
experiences with engaging diverse populations in participatory design.



We invite researchers, students, and practitioners with experience
conducting participatory design with diverse populations. Junior
researchers and students who are planning to conduct participatory design
with diverse populations are also encouraged to share their plans and
obtain feedback. The goal of the workshop is to discuss the challenges that
emerge when conducting participatory design with diverse populations. We
will compare and contrast challenges across populations, and share
successful techniques as well as lessons learned.



*Scope and Topics*

The workshop aims to provide the discussion of following issues:

   - *Building rapport: *How do you introduce facilitators (i.e., yourself)
   and the participatory design process (i.e., your work)? What phrases are
   effective for encouraging participants to provide ongoing, detailed and
   honest input?
   - *Prompts:* When is it useful to provide narrative prompts such as
   scenarios or stories for participants to respond to? How are these prompts
   generated and integrated into the design process?
   - *Activities:* What are some examples of innovative and creative
   activities that have proven appropriate and effective for specific
   populations? What types of activities can maximize enjoyment for
   participants while optimizing data collection for facilitators?
   - *Tools/Artifacts:* What tools or artifacts are helpful to participants
   and/or facilitators? When does high tech work well? When does low tech work
   well?
   - *Technology experience: *How much relevant technology experience
   should participants have? Do different amounts of experiences lead to
   different types of contributions?
   - *Allies: *When and how do you utilize gatekeepers, champions, or
   advocates for a specific population? When and how do you enlist caregivers,
   clinicians, or proxies for a specific population? What are the advantages
   of these points of view, and when do they outweigh the potential risks of
   not engaging the population directly?



*Workshop format*

The workshop will include a technical program enabling participants to
share and discuss different protocols, approaches, lessons learned and
strategies they have used to conduct participatory design with diverse
populations. We invite position papers* 4-6 pages *long, which reflect on
challenges conducting participatory design with a specific population,
discuss lessons learned, outline effective strategies and opportunities.
Particularly, we are interested in two types of submissions:



   - *Research experiences:* Reflections on lessons learned and best
   practices in conducting participatory design sessions.
   - *Research proposal:* Proposal of a study involving participatory
   design with a specific population.



Contributions to the workshop will be reviewed by a Technical Program
Committee, and final decisions will be made by the workshop organizers
taking into account the originality of contributions and the potential for
generating interesting discussion around different challenges in
participatory design with diverse populations.



*Paper Submissions*

All accepted workshop submissions will be published in the conference's
main proceedings. Workshop submissions should follow the PervasiveHealth
2018 general proceedings format: *2-column format using SIGCHI
template.* Details
in: http://pervasivehealth.org/authors-kit/. Please be sure to use the
correct Category and Subject Descriptor in your paper. Visit
http://www.acm.org/about/class/2012 for more information.



Authors of the accepted submissions will be invited to present and discuss
their work at the workshop. For each of the accepted submissions, at least
one author must attend the workshop and at least one day of PervasiveHealth
2018 <http://pervasivehealth.org/> conference.



Your paper must be submitted in PDF format. Send your PDF contributions by
the deadline to the following email: *[log in to unmask]
