Haunted futurities symposium, early bird registration by 5 May
by Adi Kuntsman 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Dear AoiR members, The event below maybe of interest to many of you, in particular, two papers dealing with cyberspace (by Debra Ferreday and yours truly). Check the link for further details and please circulate widely Adi Kuntsman ************************************************** Registration is now open, please visit our website for further details http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/ricc/events/haunted/index.html To enjoy the discounted 'early bird' registration, please register by 5 May 2009 ***Haunted futurities symposium*** 9:30 am – 5pm, 4 June 2009 Humanities Building, Room G7, The University of Manchester Keynote speaker: Avery Gordon, the author of Ghostly Matters: Haunting and the Sociological Imagination In the recent years haunting has surfaced as a way of exploring the ways in which the past and in particular, past events of extreme violence, such as colonialism, slavery or genocide, haunt contemporary socialiaties. But instead of focusing solely on the past, this symposium opens up the notion of haunting to questions about ghosts of the future, about haunted futurities: be it about ways in which the past casts a shadow over (im)possible futures; or about horrors that are imagined as 'inevitable'; or about our hopes and dreams for difference, for change. Inspired by Avery Gordon's famous Ghostly Matters (1997), this symposium brings together scholars working in the arts, social sciences and humanities, in order to open up a dialogue between different disciplines and theoretical perspectives. In particular, the symposium will focus on intersections between art and social research, between people and 'things', and between the social and the psychic. Further details, programme and registration are available here http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/ricc/events/haunted/index.html Dr. Adi Kuntsman Leverhulme Early Career Fellow Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures The University of Manchester Second Floor, Arthur Lewis Building, room 2.007 Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/ricc/index.html http://adi.kuntsman.googlepages.com

Initial Internet experiences/helping first time users.
by Peter Timusk 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

I often find myself helping neighbours, family, and consumer/survivors of psychiatry to connect to the Internet for the first time. A peer to peer support group for consumers/survivor of psychiatry I am involved with as a director offers our members lessons in email and surfing/cerfing. I am curious to hear of any research in this area or some suggested terms to use to search journals and my university library. Should I be looking for the terms "novice computer users" or "novice Internet users"? I am sure this is a valuable area of research as this is part of connecting people to the net that so much public money is supporting. One would not think there would need to lessons in using a telephone ( may be there were in the past) and the telephone is also affected by public money. I know from my own reading internet studies and data that training is an important predictor. Not the most important but it has an affect. My biases are that I would like new users to get a good view of the diversity rather than all being funneled into Google, MSN, Facebook, etc. For instance in helping my Scottish mother-in-law I suggested she would be able to read Scottish new papers everyday on her computer.

The WorldCat Mobile pilot allows users to search for and find books and other materials available in libraries near them through a Web application they can access from a PDA or smartphone." " Advanced global positioning capabilities found in many smartphones and PDAs make it possible for users to find local library materials no matter where they happen to be. Users can even get a Google Maps view of the library location along with detailed driving instructions if the mobile device supports the application." The pilot will gather data to inform and help shape future mobile access to WorldCat.org. The pilot is now available in the United States and Canada and is expected to last six months."

_Leonardo_: New [P&T] Criteria for New Media
by McKiernan, Gerard [LIB] 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

_Leonardo_: New Criteria for New Media Colleagues/ The Paradigm Are A'Changin ... . /Gerry University of Maine's criteria for New Media achievement serve as a model for faculty at other institutions. Academia's goal may be the free exchange of ideas, but up to now many universities have been wary--if not downright dismissive--of their professors using the Internet and other digital media to supercharge that exchange, especially in the arts and humanities. Peer review committees are supposed to assess a researcher's standing in the field, but to date most have ignored reputations established by blogging, publishing DVDs, or contributing to email lists. In a signal that some universities are warming to digital scholarship, however, the winter 2009 issue of MIT's Leonardo magazine--itself a traditional peer review journal, though known for experimenting with networked media--has published a feature on the changing criteria for excellence in the Internet age. To make its point as concretely as possible, the feature includes the recently approved promotion and tenure guidelines of the University of Maine's New Media Department, together with an argument for expanding recognition entitled "New Criteria for New Media." Rather than throw time-honored benchmarks for excellence out the window, "New Criteria for New Media" tries to extend them into the 21st century. To supplement the "closed" peer review process familiar from traditional journals, .... [University Of Maine's ] criteria recognize the value of the "open peer review" employed in recognition metrics such as ThoughtMesh and The Pool. As the name suggests, open peer review allows contributions from any community member rather than a group of experts, and all reviews are public; when combined with an appropriate recognition metric, the result is much faster evaluations than possible via the customary approach. "New Criteria for New Media" also urges academic reviews to reward collaboration in new media research; valuable roles include conceptual architect, designer, engineer, or even matchmaker (e.g., introducing two other researchers whose collaboration results in a publication). Because the University of Maine hopes other institutions will adopt these criteria and adapt them to their own needs, it is releasing them under a Creative Commons (CC-by) license. [snip] The new criteria have already been sought after by individual tenure candidates and cited in the Chronicle of Higher Education. You can find them in Leonardo's winter 2009 issue (vol. 42 no. 1) / Leonardo: New Criteria for New Media Abstract / This paper argues for redefining evaluation criteria for faculty working in new media research and makes specific recommendations for promotion and tenure committees in U.S. universities.
