Call for Papers

DESIGNING FOR CIVIL SOCIETY

A special issue of Interacting with Computers

 ================================================================================
BACKGROUND

We invite contributions to a special issue of the journal Interacting with Computers examining the challenges of designing systems to
support democractic participation in civil society.

Democratic participation is not merely an issue of electronic voting, but also of campaigning, organising and participation in policy
formation through a wide variety of groups. Such organisations may be formally constituted, e.g. trade-unions, political parties, voluntary
groups or campaigning 'non-governmental organisations' (NGOs), or may be informal collections of individuals and organisations conducting
conversations and sharing electronic material e.g. email petitions, weblogs and satirical emails such as those circulated opposing the war
in Iraq.

This special issue of Interacting with Computers  will explore how existing knowledge of human computer interaction (HCI) and of the use of
information & communication technologies (ICT) can be applied by such groups, and what questions such groups pose for our emerging
understanding of HCI and information systems.
