Online communities for Islamist extremism
by Isak Ladegaard 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

Hi all, I'm in search of online communities for Islamist extremism, but I've come up short thus far. I found an ISIS-affiliated forum in the Dark Web, but all text was in Arabic. I hope to find something in English for natural language processing research etc. This is for a research project on ICTs and political extremism. Anyone out there who can help?

Call for Papers - ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency
by danah boyd 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi y'all! FAT* is an interdisciplinary ACM conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. The 2019 conference will be held in Atlanta in Jan or Feb or 2019. (I'm co-general-chairing it.) Rooted in computer science (this conference emerged out of a conference focused on machine learning), there are multiple tracks for different CS sub-disciplines, but we are also seeking papers across the social scientific, legal, and humanistic perspectives. There are two tracks dedicated to these - one on empirical research on FAT topics and one rooted in policy/critical analysis methods. While papers at FAT* can be archival, you can also have the opportunity to treat this as a workshop and submit your paper for publication elsewhere. I'd love to see amazing research from this community presented at FAT*2019 so I want to invite you to submit a paper. Papers (8-10 pages, due August 23) are double-blind peer reviewed and published in conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library if you'd like. (As mentioned you can also opt for non-archival submission, but are still subject to the same rigorous review process.) Please forward this call to other people or groups you think may be interested. I am very excited by how this conference has started to bridge different conversations and I'm excited that we'll be able to take it to the next level this year! For more details, see https://fatconference.org/2019/cfp.html <https://fatconference.org/2019/cfp.html> danah

2018 AoIR Best Dissertation Award winner
by Daren Brabham 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

On behalf of the award committee, I’m pleased to announce that the 2018 AoIR Best Dissertation Award goes to Dr. Stacy Blasiola for her work “The Privacy of Others” (University of Illinois at Chicago). Dr. Blasiola's dissertation asked the question, "What does privacy look like when it is the privacy of others at stake?" Using a mixed methods approach to examine the social media conversation of journalists and everyday users following the 2015 Ashley Madison hacking scandal, Dr. Blasiola found that "a new type of privacy violation has emerged along with the practice of large-scale hacks: Mass Impersonal Social Monitoring." The committee felt the subject matter was timely and important, the methodology well-conceived and expertly executed, and the manuscript elegantly written. Dr. Blasiola's dissertation contributes to internet research not only a significant advancement in our evolving understanding of privacy, but it also provides an example of innovative methodological design combining "big and deep data analysis" and a unique combination of framing theory, privacy work, journalistic ethics, and philosophy. The committee was impressed by the quality, rigor, and importance of Dr. Blasiola's research. The committee congratulates Dr. Blasiola and looks forward to reading more of her future research. AoIR is grateful for the hard work by this year’s Best Dissertation Award committee: Daren Brabham (chair), Colin Agur, Eugenia Siapera, and Aram Sinnreich. Sincerely, Daren Brabham —- Daren C.

social media research tools?
by Mel Stanfill 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hi all, I am teaching a social media research class in the fall and I’m looking for suggestions for tools I should teach my students. Right now, they’re all collecting and analyzing tweets and Facebook memes and whatever else by hand, and I want to diversify the things they know how to do with some technological options. Apologies if this has been asked recently--the listserv archive is not the most searchable thing. Also, I suspect some tools have recently broken given shifts around privacy. I’m mostly platform agnostic right now—I’ll look at what the options are and work backwards from there to which ones I want to teach. What can you recommend? I’m happy to compile the suggestions and share with the list. Thanks, Mel Stanfill, PhD Assistant Professor Texts & Technology / Digital Media University of Central Florida http://www.melstanfill.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
