Organizers

Lara Reime (she/her) is a PhD Fellow in the Technologies in Practice research group at the IT University of Copenhagen. Her interdisciplinary research project combines design and ethnographic methods to explore socio-technical entanglements of infertile bodies, with focus on bodily and embodied practices of fertility tracking.

Nadia Campo Woytuk (she/her/they) is a PhD student in Interaction Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Her work focuses on critical and intersectional feminist design of technologies for menstrual health and intimate care. She has led and contributed to projects involving new media art, textiles, software art, and postcolonial computing. She is currently interested in ecofeminist framings of the body and the social and environmental ecologies it entangles. Read more here.

Joo Young Park (she/they) is a PhD student in Interaction Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. She uses critical feminist theories and soma design methods to develop intimate wearable technologies for women’s health and well-being.

Marie Louise Juul Søndergaard (she/her) is a postdoctoral researcher at The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Norway. Her research explores critical and speculative approaches to imagine and design digital technologies for menstrual and sexual health. Marie Louise has co-organized workshops at CHI and DIS on topics of women’s health, sexuality, feminisms, futures, and more-than-human design. She has a PhD in Interaction Design from Aarhus University. Read more here.

Deepika Yadav (she/her) is a Digital Futures postdoctoral fellow at the Stockholm University. Her research examines interpersonal care relationships associated with intimate health in domestic and workplace settings. She engages with feminist, care, and entanglement theories to unpack the tacit perspectives and behaviors affecting the structures needed for attending to body and care. She did her Ph.D from IIIT-Delhi, India where she worked on the training challenges of frontline health workers in rural India and led multiple field studies including a large-scale study involving 500 frontline health workers.

Vasiliki Tsaknaki (she/her) is an Assistant Professor at the Digital Design department at IT University of Copenhagen. Her research combines materials experiences, computational crafts and Somaesthetic Design methods. Through practice-based studies she investigates and reflects on intersections of these areas with a feminist theoretical commitment, aiming to trouble and dissolve binaries between body/mind, body/material and human/non-human. She has a PhD in Interaction Design from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

Sarah Homewood (she/her) is an Assistant Professor in Human Centred Computing at the University of Copenhagen. Her research uses feminist theories of the body and research-through-design methods to examine how self-tracking technologies are shaped by societal understandings of bodies, and how, in turn, these technologies go on to shape the way bodies are understood.
