Abstract

This workshop aims to explore, map and discuss the contribution of Actor Network Theory to Participatory design 's theory and practice. The links between the two are multiple and offers multiple occasions to appreciate the relevance of ANT in PD. The workshop seeks contributions especially in three areas: ANT as a descriptive tool for PD, ANT as conceptual framework for PD theory and practice, and ANT and PD education.
