We invite practitioners and researchers to participate in our workshop entitled "Life in Transitions: The Role of Technology in Supporting Wellbeing in the Heart of Change". The goal of this workshop is to bring the NordiCHI community together to discuss and map out the role of interactive technology in life transitions. Therefore, we call for participants to submit short papers/abstracts that address one/all of the following questions:
- What is the role of (health) data in life transitions?
- What role does the technology play in / support life transitions?
- How does technology (and our data) make us feel about life transitions?
- How might data ‘transition’ itself to address life changes?
- What will be/do we dream of the role of data/technology in the future?
Participants can also propose their own provocations related to the workshop's interests. We will contact a list of potentially interested authors and share the CfP within our networks and channels. Submissions made to the workshop will receive a light review from at least two of the workshop organisers. Accepted authors will be invited to participate in the workshop, and their submissions will be archived on the workshop website upon their consent.
To participate in the workshop, interested participants will choose to submit (1) a one-page position paper responding to one of the themes above or (2) a one-page summary of their prior work that fits the goals of the workshop. Alongside this, we will ask the participants to include a short biography (max of 250 words) and up to five keywords summarising their research interests in relation to the workshop. Position papers or paper summaries from accepted participants will be posted on our website with their consent. Please compile all documents into one pdf file and submit through the below link.
