Hi Rifat,
I'm working with a few other people to organize a workshop at CHI that you yourself might be interested in, and/or others you know might be interested in. Can you take a look at this info below and send it on to people or lists at Toronto or elsewhere? Thank you sir!

I would like to invite you to a workshop titled ‘Untold Stories: Working with Third Sector Organizations’ that will take place on the 22nd of April at CHI2018 in Montréal, Canada.
This workshop will develop the first version of a Code of Good Practice for HCI research involving third sector organizations (TSOs), a term used to describe a variety of Non-Profit enterprises, service providers, and movements that exist independently from Government and (for-profit) Private Enterprises. The workshop offers a space to discuss how collaborations with TSOs impact (1) the third sector, (2) the research, and (3) the researchers.
We first focus on group reflections of researcher experiences when working in or with TSOs to explore ethical and pragmatic tensions regarding the performance of this work. In the afternoon, we will produce an initial draft of a Code of Good Practice that will inform further work in this space.
We welcome submissions in both creative formats (+short bio) and short papers written in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format (max. 3 pages + references + short bio). We are committed to diversity and inclusion and actively encourage applications across cultures, gender identities, sexualities, and ethnicities. Submissions should address one or more of the below topics and should be sent to a.strohmayer@ncl.ac.uk mailto:a.strohmayer@ncl.ac.uk Reflections of personal experiences of working in this space Critiques of methodologies and methods that are used when working or engaging with TSOs Any other factors, impacts, or outcomes that arise from engagement with TSOs that the authors feel are important to address, but are not necessarily named here. Admittance will be on the basis of workshop relevance, and the potential of contribution to discussions, as reviewed by the workshop organizers. If accepted, we require that at least one author of the paper attends the workshop, who must also register for at least one day of the conference. We ask accepted participants to prepare two slides (one about themselves and one on their research) for the introductory presentations.
