Welcome to the CHI 2015 SIGCHI HCI & Sustainability Workshop webpage,<\/p>\n
Our deadline for position paper submissions recently passed. But, don’t worry if you missed it, we’re extending a new call for attendance! If you’ve an interest in HCI & Sustainability and are planning to attend CHI 2015, we’re eager for you to come join us as we discuss challenges and outline important directions for our field.<\/p>\n
If you’d like to participate in the workshop, please send a short paragraph to Adrian Clear (adrian.clear@gmail.com)<\/a> outlining your research background and your interest in HCI & Sustainability, relating it to the themes of the workshop call, where possible.<\/p>\n The deadline for this call for attendance is 15 March 2015.<\/p>\n Please note that to participate, you must register for the workshop and at least one day of the conference.<\/p>\n We look forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\n Kind regards,<\/p>\n The organisers of the CHI 2015 workshop, Expanding the Boundaries: A SIGCHI HCI & Sustainability Workshop<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last year\u2019s CHI HCI and Sustainability Community workshop<\/a> resulted in the formulation of a formidable challenge<\/a> to change entrenched perspectives and reshape the sustainability discourse in CHI. It highlighted important next steps, including the need to \u201caddress the full diversity of sustainability issues<\/em>\u201d, to \u201cdo research that considers longer timescales<\/em>\u201d and to \u201cgrapple with the full multi-scalar complexity<\/em>\u201d of sustainability challenges. This workshop will build on this, by asking questions and formulating discussions that support a broadening and scaling up of the SHCI research agenda, and a challenging of entrenched beliefs and perceived boundaries that we as researchers may hold.\u00a0It will consider how current foci might be extended so that sustainable HCI research can play a broader role in tackling global sustainability issues and supporting the societal change that this will require. As part of this, it will create a forum for discussing approaches that break traditional HCI boundaries, that are perhaps more radical in nature, to highlight new exciting directions for the field.<\/p>\n In particular, the workshop will focus on the following questions:<\/p>\n We aim to produce a concrete mapping of Sustainable HCI research and sustainability goals, and a collective position statement that addresses these questions.<\/p>\n
