Configuring participation: on how we involve people in design.
This paper explores three important questions for understanding how HCI configures participation; Who initiates, directs and benefits from user participation in design? In what forms does user participation occur? How is control shared with users in design? In answering these questions, the authors consider the conceptual, ethical and pragmatic problems this raises for current participatory HCI research. Finally, they offer directions for future work explicitly dealing with the configuration of participation.
