IslamicHCI: Designing with and within Muslim Populations
CHI 2020 Workshop on 25 or 26 April 2020 in Hawaii, USA

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION (CFP):

There has been a growing body of work from the CHI community that looks at
designing for inclusivity and for the unique and specific constraints of
diverse populations including work on designing within patriarchal
contexts, designing around issues of gender and sexual orientation and
designing around literacy. With the same approach towards inclusivity and
co-existence, the aim of this workshop is to bring together CHI researchers
and practitioners who engage in studies and interventions within Muslim
majority communities around the world. The goal is to understand the Muslim
identity and perceptions around it, the unique constraints and limitations
within Muslim communities and to identify core issues and concerns within
these populations. We hope to generate a dialogue to explore the
opportunities and challenges of doing HCI research within Muslim
populations.

We particularly encourage submissions under the following themes, but we
are also excited about and welcome all submissions that address various
encounters of Muslim communities with Computing.

Refugees and islamophobia
Muslim feminism
Digital financial services.
Female Intimate and Maternal Health

Submitted position papers must not exceed four pages in the CHI Extended
Abstract Format including references. The submissions should be sent in PDF
