Abstract

This workshop explores the links between healing ourselves and our aspirations for transformative social change. We call for the development of methodologies for participatory and experiential futures based on PDC's nascent research directions such as autoethnography, somaesthetics, and embodied design. Over the last two years, we have lived through the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and a continued climate crisis. For many, these events have led to/contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, body pain, and scattered focus. Without acknowledging our feelings about these events, our symptoms could become worse and it will become more difficult to effectively work towards more hopeful and healthy futures. This workshop thus insists on taking our recent collective traumas seriously in building futures that we want to live in. Our aim is to work towards a better understanding of how PD might support healing ourselves in service of collective healing and social change.
