Materializing Activism: A workshop at ECSCW 2019, June 9 in Salzburg, Austria.
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 one-day workshop gathers researchers 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 workshop consists of presentations and brainstorming sessions
where we materialize the intangible and develop our theories and ideas further
through a collaborative design process.
Deadline for submissions is April 15, 2019.
The maximum length of a paper is 2,000 words. The papers should follow the
ECSCW formatting guidelines.
Submissions and inquiries shall be sent to the following email address:
