Abstract
This one-day workshop seeks to bring together design researchers that have different orientations and practices for futures and futuring to unpack the role of futuring across design, design artefacts, and designers. Our goal in this workshop is to use examples of established futures to engage with and reflect on questions around the role of futures in HCI/design. We believe that there is a common thread between work from many different researchers, but that the people doing that work are spread across different disciplines and geographical locations. To that end, this workshop will assemble researchers working with different methods and approaches to futures in design and will aim to identify core challenges and opportunities for futures in HCI.
