“…Researchers' reflexive engagement is discussed by Pihkala and Karasti (2016) as a way to attend to 'participation in plural' in a design project. We recognise that regardless of the participants' assigned roles (as users, designers or researchers), everyone needs to engage in a reflective process addressing their own roles, responsibilities and the decisions they make.…”

2018) Examining situated design practices: Nurses' transformations towards genuine participation. Design Studies, vol. X, no. X, pp. X-X. AbstractWe scrutinise the concrete practices of participants' engagement in participatory design through an empirical case in which nurses from different hospital wards began as reluctant users, but gradually engaged in processes approaching genuine participation. We expand a newly proposed, psychologically inspired perspective into a conceptual frame to investigate transformations towards genuine participation. This analytical lens elucidates how participants engage in becoming authentic, credible, attentive and present in participatory endeavours, and how this affects reflection and learning. The case includes the designer's process of becoming a genuine participant during the project. By offering a new take on the concept of genuine participation using a dimension characterised by a genuine, focused presence, we offer our lessons learned from applying the framework.The concepts, meanings and practices associated with participation vary enormously. In the field of participatory design (PD), the idea of 'genuine participation' continues to attract attention from researchers (e.g. Hägerfors, 1994;Luck, 2007;. Scholars understand that the direct involvement of users in the design of the artefact they will use is desirable (Simonsen

“…In the following, we provide three fragments that capture the phenomenon of workplace bullying and harassment as it reconfigured in our PD case. Our approach is based on the designer-researcher's engagement with the flow of the design process [15]. This is an approach that resonates with emerging voices in PD that have sought "relational sensitivity" and "ways of noticing" the between-ness-or Ma, as discussed by Akama [21]-beyond sedimented categories and structures [7,15,16,20].…”

“…The opening up to nonhuman agency has helped to negotiate the co-constitutive nature of "Things", issues, and matters of concern [12][13][14], and the consequent implications for design practices [8,11]. Others have considered these relational and entangled ontologies in order to renegotiate ethics, politics, and values in designing [11,[15][16][17]. Recently, Lindström and Ståhl [18,19] explored ways of inviting "response-able" stakeholders in PD, and Light and Akama [7,20,21] have prompted "human touch" and social relations in PD practice that are not only bound to what is, but also to what is becoming and in-between.…”

“…Our discussion is based on our PD case that was one of four pilot case studies in a large research project on the use of social media in the field of workplace safety and well-being in Finland [22]. The first author was immersed in our case study as a designer-researcher for a period of a year and a half working closely with a group of user-practitioners [15] to collaboratively design a novel mode of collaboration and a network for them to learn and discuss workplace well-beingparticularly the concerns, practices, and experiences related to workplace bullying and harassment. The second author was engaged in the process through interdisciplinary dialogue with the first author as we have discussed in [15,23].…”

In this paper, 1 we join those in the field of Participatory Design (PD) that have become inspired by the "ontological turn" as captured in the proliferating discussions around relationality, becoming, and nonhuman agency. The paper offers an account from a PD case where a social media platform was designed with and by professionals for their collaboration around the topic of workplace bullying and harassment. Through this account, this paper reimagines PD in a "posthuman landscape" and explores how this ontological turn forces-and/or enables-a rethinking of ethics and politics in PD. In a timely conference which asks for scrutinizing the ways that the political heritage of democracy, participation, and equality can be enacted in the diverse terrains of PD, our short paper proposes the "politics of mattering" as a way of accounting for the design process as an always-relational becoming and its practices as already-political.
