Abstract : Working with local communities and gaining an intimate knowledge
of a community life can make significantly improve the efficacy and appropriateness
in the research and design of interactive systems. However, it is not always
easy to substantially engage a community in research and design, due to
constraints and barriers both within and without the project’s domain. Common
constraints and barriers include navigating cultural, socio-economic and political
issues, power relations and trust; poor or unfamiliar technical infrastructure;
time and funding constraints; and, organizational requirements and expectations
of funding agencies and different project partners.
Five panelists will share their experiences in engaging underserved
communities in Africa and India in community-based participatory designs and
research. Their discussion seeks to enrich our understanding and practices in
collaboration by addressing the following themes:
Effective approaches to and guidelines for collaborating with underserved
communities
Strategies to overcome barriers in community-based co-design and coresearch
Stakeholder roles
Ways that theoretical concepts in African philosophy can assist in configuring
collaboration
Issues raised in a workshop on community participation, to be held at
INTERACT 2013 preceding the panel
Panelists will be: Anupama Saxena, Gereon Kapuire, Bongiwe Dlutu-Siya,
Dan Orwa Ochieng, Nicola J. Bidwell, Darelle van Greunen (Moderator).
