“…This observation is not a criticism. It was an exceptional conference that has inspired three journal special issues (Hansson, Forlano et al, 2018;Smith et al, 2017), including this one. It does, however, draw attention to the different disciplines and communities in which PD takes place, which are still only partially connected.…”

“…Summarising, these studies illustrate that the use and design of digital platforms configure new and various communication practices (Hansson et al, 2018;Cerratto Pargman, 2006). However, they facilitate much more than social communication as they impact one's existence (Lagerkvist, 2017).…”

In their efforts to find others who share their experiential reality and existential struggle, many involuntarily childless women turn to Instagram to engage and participate in the practice of trying-to-conceive (TTC) communication. Through the conceptual lens of digital existence, where the digital and online are regarded as constitutive of existential transition, we draw on ten interviews and an online ethnography to explore some of the struggles that involuntarily childless women experience with and through technology. We find that TTC communication can be constitutive of coming to terms with the status of involuntary childlessness. In particular, this study illustrates that TTC communication, for involuntarily childless women, is both a site of struggle and a safe space as they transition to nonmotherhood in an existential terrain where they share an intimate journey.

“…Design, from its speculative and critical nature, is a tool to use from an agonistic pluralism and social innovation to generate profound social changes while encouraging a discussion, rather than being a result of discussion. The aforementioned accentuates the designer's role as an artist or activist of a cause [11]. The results of Play Lab are more concerned on the process and the tactics than on the end result, assuming the provocation.…”

Playlab, an educational initiative of the School of Architecture, Art and Design of the Tecnologico de Monterrey University, provides a steady academic base for innovation in product co-design adapting to changing social and cultural contexts. Play Lab aims to bring students from different disciplines together to tackle social challenges within a specific local community as a platform for social innovation and moving beyond the classroom into an established social community. The professors deploy a wide arrange of participatory and ethnographic tools from which students choose and implement in the specific community context. Thus, the students have to go through a full and profound social and urban research of the chosen context before deciding on a viable collaboration design. Play Lab has had three iterations with different students in 2016, 2017 and 2018. This paper hopes to compile, compare and explain the processes and results of Play Lab while analysing some variables as a reference. Using a methodology proposed by Hansson et al. (2011) we performed an evaluation of the aforementioned iterations. We believe we have gained clarity regarding future strategies, methods and tools to be further used in Play Lab, our academic alternative for social innovation.
