Here are ideas that came out of one of the working groups at the first workshop in York (thanks to Ian Gibson for sending them on)

Ideas for themes:
1. How is power and sexuality replicated in technology, and how does this impact on our culture? How does it influence our values with regards to sexuality and power?
2. Positioning/re-positioning of relationships. How does technology change/re-position relationships (e.g. embodiment versus disembodiment)?

Two suggestions were made for non-conventional formats for workshops:
1. People could contribute by bringing in an object relating to a theme and speaking about it from their perspective.
2. People may wish to “job swap” for a day (or more?!!) thereby helping them to learn about design concepts across disciplines.

More news of the next workshop will be posted here soon.
