N2 - Participatory design (PD) emerged in the 1970s, primarily in Scandinavia, as a response to traditional top-down design approaches [9]. Since then, it has been utilized in industry and research with various stakeholders, including both adults and children [8, 16]. However, in order to continue to mature as a research approach, participatory design must move past its history of individual projects situated in a specific context [17] to address “big issues” which have broader societal impact [1, 11]. Emerging approaches such as distributed PD (DPD) offer promising avenues for this shift, enabling larger teams with more diverse perspectives to tackle problems both synchronously and asynchronously [2]. Improving the comparability of PD research plans and output data would also enable PD work to make larger, stronger, more substantial claims, and consequently have greater impact [1, 11]. This workshop will address the following key question: How can we frame and facilitate (D)PD activities to achieve these greater impacts?
