Partcipatory Design Conference

In the last decade, participatory approaches to design have gained adherents around the world. These approaches have at their core the involvement of users in the design and development of new technologies and work practices. CPSR's Third Conference on Participatory Design will be attended by an international community of researchers and practitioners, and is being held immediately following and in the same location as CSCW (The ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work). We encourage those who are using participatory approaches and those who may be interested in trying these approaches to attend.
