Second call for proposals
Materializing Activism: A CSCW Journal Special Issue
Net activism shows how easily available tools allow the organization of social
movements to be scaled up and extended globally. These media ecologies enable
new forms of power. This special issue gathers research focusing on the
collaborative efforts within social movements, looking into the socio-technical
systems; the organization of activism; the relations between traditional and
social media; and the complex network of systems, information, people, values,
theories, histories, ideologies and aesthetics underlying various types of
activism. The purpose with the issue is to explore how activism is
materialized, enabled, and constrained by human computer interfaces, while also
contributing to the development of useful tools.
Deadline for the first submissions of extended abstract is December 1, 2019.
(Deadline for full papers will be July 2020.)
The maximum length of the extended paper is 2,000 words. The papers should
follow the JCSCW formatting guidelines. Anonymize the submission and add your
name and the submission title in a separate document. Submissions of extended
papers and inquiries shall be sent to the following email address:
