CfP: DATA, SECURITY, VALUES: VOCATIONS AND VISIONS OF DATA ANALYSIS
by Mareile Kaufmann 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

** Call for Papers - Please circulate widely** DATA, SECURITY, VALUES: VOCATIONS AND VISIONS OF DATA ANALYSIS 10.-11. December 2018 Peace Research Institute Oslo Data analysis is normative. Coding, programming and algorithmically interpreting data is always informed by the concepts, ideas, values and affordances of the technologies and people that engage with data. Even if the word data means "given", information becomes socially and politically imbued as soon as it is selected and categorized to make it available for analysis. Such insights are no longer only subject of academic critique, but the normativity of data analysis has by now become integrated into public discourses. In fact, the value of data has created a new market for moral entrepreneurs, who re-frame data analysis as a tool for moral engineering and security politics. At this conference we explore how values, ideas and concepts are not only necessarily embedded in data analysis, but also in what way they are productive and co-create society. Please join our discussion on the many vocations and visions of data analysis in the security domain: These can include overt media manipulation and disinformation, the active sensoring or removal of online contents, the workings of editing algorithms or retweet-robots, the promotion of state-sponsored narratives online, but also the normativity of approaches that seek to "uncover fake news", "fight attacks on the freedom of speech online" or "make the world a more secure place with online data". Together, we discuss the relationship between data analysis, ideas and values by looking at the workings of digital security technologies, data security policies or the security politics of data. The three confirmed keynote speakers are: Miguel Sicart, Associate Professor at the Center for Computer Game Research at IT University Copenhagen, "Playing Data: Understanding the Ludic in the Information Age" Katja de Vries, postdoctoral researcher in Law Science Technology & Society at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, "The coexistence of humans and algorithmic profiling machines" Susanne Krasmann, Professor at the Faculty of Economy and Social Sciences, (Criminology) Hamburg University, "The desire for truth - and the secret of algorithms" The conference will further include a roundtable discussion with representatives from the Norwegian Ministries on "Data & the everyday of security authorities". Please send your abstracts until the 21st of September to Mareile Kaufmann: markau(a)prio.no. The paper should be submitted in the first week of December.

Looking for Literature on Immersive Communication
by Urooj Raja 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Dear Community, I am in the process of putting together my dissertation prospectus, and am looking for literature on immersive communication, particularly within the virtual reality space. In essence, I am looking for information on how immersive communication is operationalized, empirically. And if it appears to be more or less effective in generating user interest about the content being transmitted versus static communication. I would appreciate any and all leads. Thank you all for your time. Best, Urooj *Urooj Raja* PhD Student NSF Graduate Research Fellow (GRFP) Department of Environmental Studies University of Colorado | Boulder

TALE is IEEE Education Society's flagship conference in the Asia-Pacific region. This prominent international conference caters to researchers and practitioners with an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education—with a particular emphasis on engineering and computing disciplines—as well as those interested in the innovative use of digital technologies for learning, teaching and assessment in any discipline. TALE 2018, which will be held in Wollongong, Australia from 4 to 7 December 2018, will include two Streams (more details about which are available at http://tale2018.org/call <http://tale2018.org/call>): (a) an Academic Stream for prospective academic/researcher presenters wishing to author peer-reviewed papers for the proceedings; and (b) a Practitioner Stream for prospective K-12, VET/L&D and Engineering & Technology Industry presenters those who only wish to submit an abstract for consideration (not published in the proceedings). The minimum requirement to join the Program Committee for Academic Stream is a Master's degree plus research experience; for the Practitioner Stream, a minimum of 3 years' practical (e.g., teaching, training, design, development) experience is required. An award will be presented to one or more Program Committee member(s) who the Program Chairs, in consultation with the Conference General Chairs and the wider Conference Organising Committee, deem to have made the most outstanding contribution in executing their reviewing duties. (Note: The Program Chairs’ decision is final.)
