Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The accretion of different perspectives, sensibilities, and ways of thinking about user involvement has enriched HCI discourse and improved participatory HCI research. Designed properly, participatory projects produce mutual learning and transformative outcomes for all participants. It is important to consider the logic of participation when designing such a project. The most interesting projects avoid hierarchical positioning and position all participants as skillful, resourceful, situated agents.
