#CHIversity launch event
Event Information
Description
As part of our #CHIversity campaign to make the ACM CHI conference more inclusive this year, we are hosting our second #CHIversity launch event!
After the success of the #CHIversity 2017 campaign in Denver, and 2018 campaign in Montreal, we are back with more feminist activism at CHI 2019 in Glasgow.
All self-identifying feminists and those wanting to make positive change towards a more diverse and inclusive HCI community are invited to join us for an evening of crafting, tea, snacks, and feminist shenanigans with a HCI twist!
The Glasgow Women's Library will be giving us a tour of their space at 18:30 so make sure you arrive in time for that!
We will provide all necessary materials to join in with our #CHIversity collaborative craft activity, as well as our zine- and badge-making! But please also feel free to bring along any other crafts you’re currently working on (maybe even the fabulous CHI2019 knitting pattern?!), as well as some interesting feminist topics of discussion!

Organiser of #CHIversity launch event
We are a group of intersectional feminists who aim to raise awareness of feminist issues in HCI by being overtly critical and political of the field, raising voices of underrepresented groups and topics, presenting tangible outcomes, and taking on an activist role for this. We create a supportive and collaborative environment within Open Lab, academia, industry, and beyond. We are fempower.tech
