by Karin Hansson 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

We are happy to announce the NordiCHI 2026 workshop: Rethinking the Datafied Human – Critical Data Literacy in HCI As AI and data-driven systems increasingly shape how people are represented, categorized, and governed, how can HCI better account for the complexity of human lives? Together, we'll explore *critical data literacy, *visibility, *participation, *care, and *justice through discussions, collaborative mapping, and speculative design activities. We welcome researchers and practitioners interested in HCI, CSCW, critical data studies, feminist approaches to technology, and related fields. Learn more and submit a position paper: https://medieteknik.info/rethinking-datafied-human/ Kind regards, Maria Normark, Mattias Jacobsson, Karin Hansson, Pernilla Josefsson, Martin Jonsson, and Chiara Rossitto

CfP NordiCHI workshop Oct 4: Emancipatory HCI – Exploring the energy of transformation in participatory approaches
by Karin Hansson 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

CfP NordiCHI workshop Oct 4 Emancipatory HCI – Exploring the energy of transformation in participatory approaches This workshop draws on the notion of emancipatory HCI, understood as an approach to design and research that actively challenges systems of domination and supports agency, justice, and alternative futures. From this perspective, participation is revisited as a transformative practice, where emancipation is not a stable outcome but a dynamic force; a “pulse” that emerges, circulates, and at times dissipates within participatory processes. We welcome researchers and practitioners working with participation, power, and transformative design practices. Bring your cases, dilemmas, and critical reflections and help explore where emancipation can be found today. To participate submit a 1–2 page position paper describing a case where emancipatory ambitions in your research and/or practice were constrained, redirected, or neutralized: https://forms.gle/g5J4DqeffpFPRw1n7 Deadline August 4 (Notification of acceptance August 10) More information: https://medieteknik.info/emancipatory-hci/ Please share the call in your networks! Kind regards, Annika Olofsdotter Bergström, Karin Hansson, Sofia Lundmark, and Teresa Cerratto‑Pargman

Associate professor / senior lecturer position in Design at Linköping University
by Mattias Arvola 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

Dear all, Come and work with us in Interaction and Service Design Research (IxS) and Human-Centered Systems (HCS) at Linköping University. How should user experience and interaction design change when interaction is distributed across an entire service system rather than a single interfaces of single products? This is where our research group is positioned. Many interaction design problems are not interaction problems related to user interfaces. They are instead coordination, responsibility, and sense‑making problems embedded in services. Our research group examines user experience and interaction design practice as something shaped by models, representations, and theories-in-use within real service contexts. We are looking for a senior lecturer / associate professor who want to connect interaction design theory with complex design practice. What does “good interaction” mean in long‑running, multi‑actor services?
