ArabHCI is an initiative inaugurated in
CHI'17 SIG Meeting that brought together
HCI researchers/practitioners from the
Arab World with those who are
conducting/interested in research in this
context. The goal was to start a community
that explores challenges and unique
opportunities for future research in Arab
countries and with Arab participants. This
workshop focuses on one of the themes that
derived our community discussions, the
extent to which participatory approaches
in the Arab context are culturally and
methodologically challenged. We invite
researchers/practitioners who had success
or failure stories designing “with” Arab
communities to share their experiences and
learned lessons around applying
participatory approaches. The workshop
will result in developing a research
agenda specific to HCI participatory
methods in the Arab world. We suggest that
submissions cover the following:<br>
<br>
* Give sufficient background information
about your participants; i.e. culture,
traditions, recruitment, etc.<br>
* Describe the design process including:
the experienced cultural and contextual
challenges, any innovative methods used<br>
* Explain how you approached these
challenges, what worked for you (or not)
and any future recommendations<br>
<br>
Submitted position papers must not exceed
4 pages in the CHI Extended Abstract
Format (<a
href="https://chi2018.acm.org/chi-proceedings-format/"
id="m_-7974465827219642562LPlnk792141"
target="_blank">https://chi2018.acm.org/chi-<wbr>proceedings-format</a>).
The submissions should be sent in PDF
format to (<a
href="mailto:arabhci@gmail.com"
target="_blank">arabhci@gmail.com</a>)
and without the CHI copyright statement on
the first page. Position papers will be
selected based on the contribution to the
workshop theme, quality of presentation,
and potential to stimulate discussion.
Upon acceptance, at least one of the
authors must register for both the
workshop and for at least one day of the
main conference.<br>
