by Teresa Macchia 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Dear all, please see below description and details for participating in *IMPAcT A PERVASIVE HEALTH 2018 WORKSHOPhttp://www.grpss.ssr.upm.es/impactworkshop/ <http://www.grpss.ssr.upm.es/impactworkshop/>* *** Please forward to anyone who might be interested *** *Workshop in Pervasive Health 2018* The workshop is colocated with *Pervasive Helth 2018 <http://pervasivehealth.org/>*, the 12th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, to be held in New York (US) from May 21 to 24, 2018. IMPAcT Workshop: Improving healthcare through service design and patient empowerment technologies Service design can provide tools for addressing challenges related to the adoption of pervasive health technologies. In this workshop, we will connect people interested in design methods and approaches which address the specific needs of digitalization of healthcare, and possibilities of patient empowerment. Scope and Topics Digitalization of healthcare creates opportunities for services which allow patients to have a stronger role in their care. For example, shared decision-making tools can empower patients in care-related decisions, sensor devices can help patients in building self-awareness of their health, and digital platforms provide new ways for patients to communicate with their peers and care professionals. Service design offers tools for harnessing these new digital enablers for patient empowerment through understanding ecosystems, user journeys and value co-creation models needed for successful implementation and adoption in the context of care. The motivation of the workshop is to connect people who have an interest in creating knowledge and tools addressing specific needs of designing services addressing the issues related to digitalization of services in healthcare context. In current service design methods, there is a gap in addressing digital nature of the service, for example interoperability, usability, security, personalization of the service pathway. In addition, there is need for addressing the specific characteristics of healthcare context in service design guidelines and approaches, such as designing for patient empowerment, health-behaviour change or self-management of chronic diseases. This workshop aims at creating new knowledge on how service design methods, tools and approaches can help in addressing digitalization in healthcare. *The workshop **welcome** papers on:* Tailored technologies and services for person/patient empowerment, from prevention to treatment. Caregiver-Patient collaboration frameworks for decision making. Specific approaches to tackle interoperability, usability, security, in the personalization of the clinical service pathway. Experiences of clinical pathway transformation driven by pervasive technologies. Cases of use of pervasive and social technologies for disease support. Description and application of service design methodologies in healthcare. Prospective studies on the potential of pervasive technologies as agent of change in traditional healthcare systems. *Paper Submissions* We invite both short (up to 4 pages) and long papers (up to 10 pages). The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee and external experts to reach a decision on acceptance. In some cases, the Program Committee may decide to conditionally accept a paper to allow the authors to update their submission based on the committee's feedback. Proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must adhere to the double-column ACM format using SIGCHI template.

Call for Papers: Hate speech as political communication; global uses and abuses
by Matti Pohjonen 10 Mar '18

10 Mar '18

International workshop/conference Title: Hate speech as political communication; global uses and abuses* Convenors: Dina Matar, Centre for Global Media and Communication & Matti Pohjonen, researcher/research associate CGMC* Venue: Khalili Lecture Theatre, SOAS* Date: 31 May 2018* Time 10:00 to 17:00* Call for papers: The public, and intellectual, mood about new media's promise to bring about positive change globally has recently turned eerily grim: the wisdom of crowds has been replaced by disinformation and fake news; grassroots activism by populism identified by its use of racist, xenophobic and misogynist hate speech and images in public and media spaces. Indeed, it seems that one of the most urgent debates in our contemporary social and political lives has become the way communication is now failing us. While there is increasing concern over terrorist recruitment campaigns on social media, coordinated troll attacks aimed at silencing critical voices. Twitter bots manipulating social media popularity rankings; online ecosystems of fake news influencing elections and eroding the foundations of democracy itself and offline strategies and actions, there is no scholarly agreement, let alone a common vocabulary, on how to understand the ill-effects of “internet freedoms” or how to relate them to the much-contested concept of freedom of speech. Much of the academic writing on hate speech remains concerned with cause-and-effect, and, in particular, with tracking how or whether negative online speech can lead to violence in digital spaces, neglecting other spaces where this phenomenon is also prominent. The expanding literature suggests that online activity can indeed contribute to violence offline in some cases, but it remains theoretically unspecified what the differentiated role of “online” activity is, and how this causal or quasi-causal relationship can be determined. Furthermore, there is little or no attention to different, and perhaps contextual, understandings of the “right to communicate” (often referred to as ‘freedom of speech’) or to what specific media regulations are in place in diverse political/cultural contexts. Finally, while much scholarly attention has been accorded to the rise of online hate speech in the Western world particularly in the context of migration and Islamophobia, little attention has been paid to similar phenomena in Asia, Africa and the Middle East where different socio-historical contexts and histories of media practices and political uses of hate speech need to be acknowledged. This conference/workshop seeks to move beyond the relatively safe purview of Western liberal democracies and address how hate/extreme speech has also been widely used and misused as a proxy for all other kinds of other political purposes by different actors. Indeed, as Gagliardone at al (2015) write that "accusations of fomenting hate speech may be traded among political opponents or used by those in power to curb dissent and criticism (2015: 10)." The freedom of speech organisation, Article 19 (2015: 16), similarly cautions against "too readily identifying expressions as "hate speech" ... as its use can also have negative consequences ... and can be abused to justify inappropriate restrictions on the right to freedom of expression, in particular in cases of marginalised or vulnerable communities." These concerns become more urgent to address in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America where contexts of protracted conflict and displacement, control measures by political elites and would-be political actors, as well as the absence of a consensual approach to understanding what ‘the right to communicate’ means, complicate analysis further. Given these difficulties and the widespread rise in the hate speech phenomena worldwide, this one-day conference/workshop approaches these important debates about hate speech/extreme speech through a comparative perspective. Rather than asking what the “effects” of "hate speech" are, it will instead look at how hate speech online as well as in other spaces has been used as a /distinct form of political communication practice /that emerges in diverse//cultures of communication in different parts of the world. Foregrounding cultures of communication in the analysis allows us to focus on the symbiotic relationship between language, culture and politics as well as on diverse practices and particular histories of speech cultures.By using comparative approaches that address when and what form does hate speech take, and by which actors, we hope to complicate the discourse of media “risk” increasingly invoked to legitimate speech restrictions and ask questions about how and under which circumstances do different actors engage in online and offline vitriol and their implications, thus widening the lens beyond the West and turns the focus on the rapidly expanding media worlds of the global South. We are interested in arguments/articles around mediated hate speech in non-Western contexts, including countries in Asia, Africa, Middle East, South America and their diasporas. Topics include but are not limited to: - Hate speech in the context of social, political and ethnic conflict - Hate speech and freedom of expression - Media regulation, law and hate speech - Gendering hate speech - Hate speech as a form of media practice - Vernacular language and hate speech - Hate speech as a form of political violence and/or resistance - The uses and abuses of hate speech as instruments of power and control - Genealogies of online hate cultures - Hate speech and theories of political communication Please send your abstracts (300 words) to Dina Matar at dm27(a)soas.ac.uk by 31st of March, 2018. Notifications about acceptance will be sent by 14th of April. Abstracts should contain an outline of the argument and how it fits the theme of the workshop. Please include a brief biography and affiliation together with the abstracts.

IJoC Publishes Special Section Privacy at the Margins
by danah boyd 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

(Alice and I are super excited to share this new special issue that we guest edited) International Journal of Communication Publishes a Special Section on Privacy at the Margins The International Journal of Communication is delighted to announce the publication of a new Special Section on “Privacy at the Margins” on March 1, 2018 which includes 10 articles from international scholars. Privacy is considered a human right, but achieving privacy in a networked age requires a certain level of privilege. This Special Section on Privacy at the Margins brings together nine original social science papers and an editorial introduction to reveal the complex dynamics—such as coercion and consent—that underpin a range of privacy experiences around the world. Edited by Alice E. Marwick, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Data & Society and danah boyd, Microsoft Research and Data & Society, the papers presented in this Special Section of the International Journal of Communication use a diverse array of methodologies, both quantitative and qualitative, to address issues and domains including workplace surveillance, interpersonal privacy, and government privacy processes. In order to “interrogate what privacy looks like on the margins,” the section explores privacy experiences in India and in Appalachia, and among Aboriginal Australians and Azerbaijani youth. Several papers account for the skills needed to be successful at achieving privacy, and the trade-offs required by those who both gain and lose from being visible. Notably, these articles challenge basic assumptions underlying privacy research and invite scholars to consider new facets of the problem. To access these papers, please Ctrl+Click on the article titles below for direct linking or go to ijoc.org <http://ijoc.org/>.
