The discussion will be guided by the following questions prepared by the Chairs:

• Q1: If inclusion is a form of relational and material infrastructuring, what are we building, sustaining, and taking responsibility for, and who is doing this work?​
• Q2: If inclusive participation depends on relational work, reflexivity, and care, how are we – as designers and researchers – actively shaping, negotiating, and taking responsibility for these relations, and what remains unseen or unacknowledged in this process?
