QTBIPOC PD: Exploring the Intersections of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation in Participatory Design

As Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research aims to be inclusive and representative of many marginalized identities, there is still a lack of available literature and research on intersectional considerations of race, gender, and sexual orientation, especially when it comes to participatory design. We aim to create a space to generate community recommendations for effectively and appropriately engaging Queer, Transgender, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (QTBIPOC) populations in participatory design, and discuss methods of dissemination for recommendations. Workshop participants will engage with critical race theory, queer theory, and feminist theory to reflect on current exclusionary HCI and participatory design methods and practices.
