2019-06-03 to 2019-06-07: Transforming Communities
We recognize how communities are rooted in the construction of solidarities and mutual recognition at the same time there is tension and desire for change. We welcome scholarly contributions that pay particular attention to the roles of technology, and technology design, in the making, un-making, and re-making of communities.
