Patchwork Knowledge
Workshop at ACM DIS, National University of Singapore
In this workshop, we explore how material knowledge is taught, learned, and disseminated within HCI research. Through the activity of creating a quilt, the workshop compares how different forms of knowledge circulation, such as tutorials, oral instruction, mentorship, workshops, and community-based collaboration, relate to one another.
Researchers, educators, designers, and practitioners are invited to engage with themes including pedagogical forms of material knowledge; learning trajectories; tacit, sensory, and biological knowledge in making, care, and maintenance; access and participation in fabrication; and the design of pedagogical artifacts.
