[Hcitaly] CfP for the workshop "HCI for Climate Change: Imagining Sustainable Futures" at CHI 2023

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the call for papers for our one-day hybrid workshop on “HCI for Climate Change: Imagining Sustainable Futures” at the upcoming CHI 2023 conference <https://chi2023.acm.org/>. As the climate crisis is turning into one of the most critical issues of our time, HCI researchers keep reflecting on the role their work can play in reducing the impact of adverse environmental changes. The HCI community has been addressing these changes and challenges from multiple angles - angles, which have several points of contact and would benefit from finding synergies. With this workshop, we aim to convene the CHI community to discuss how HCI can leverage its traditional skill sets and multidisciplinary influences to address climate change issues. Our full workshop proposal can be accessed here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10aitYWEO3DryAPiRzPOuYAuuRYJsJ2gp?usp=sharing> . After the workshop, we will create a special issue in a journal to which we invite all the workshop participants to submit. TOPICS OF INTEREST Possible topics for submissions may include (but are not limited to):‬‬ - Communicating science - Data physicalization, visualization, sonification - Community engagement and activism - Policymaking - Envisioning future scenarios - Eco-social relations and climate justice - System thinking/interconnection of economic, social, and environmental dimensions - Interdisciplinarity and new competencies for HCI researchers - Post-human, more-than-human, diffractive and entangled views, theories, and practices HOW TO APPLY?
