CFP: Science and health controversies in digital media
by An Nguyen 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for crossposting. I would like to invite you to contribute to the following special issue of Media and Communication, a Q2 open-access journal indexed on ISI, Scopus and many other databases. https://www.cogitatiopress.com/mediaandcommunication/pages/view/nextissues#…. Volume 8, Issue 2 Title: Science and Health Controversies on Digital Media: News, Mis/Disinformation and Public Engagement Editor(s): An Nguyen (Bournemouth University, UK) Submission of Abstracts: 1-15 August 2019 Submission of Full Papers: 15-31 January 2020 Publication of the Issue: June 2020 Information: Digital media open a vast array of avenues for lay people to engage with news, information and debates about the science and health issues that shape their private and public life. Many of these are innovative and effective in providing users with the voices to go with their eyes and ears about science issues. At the same time, however, recent climate-change-denial, anti-vaccination, pro-creationism and other campaigns show that digital media could become a fertile land for vested interests to spread mis-and dis-information, stimulate uncivil discussions and engender ill-informed, dangerous public decisions. On social networking sites, for example, people’s values, beliefs and emotions are often brought to the forefront—with the substantial aid of algorithms—and/or skillfully deployed for political, commercial and/or religious gains, at the expense of scientific evidence. This thematic issue invites scholarly investigations—critical, interpretive or empirical—into the above and their implications for public engagement with scientific evidence. We welcome contributions on the pros and cons of digital media in science debates and how they might impact public understanding, attitudes and actions regarding science and health issues. Topics might include, but are not limited to, issues around the following broad questions: 1. How is mis/disinformation around science controversies produced, distributed and redistributed in digital environments? 2. In what ways do laypeople use social media to obtain news, gain knowledge and/or engage with science controversies—and with what effects? 3. How do factual knowledge and scientific evidence interact with emotions and values/beliefs in the fast-moving digital world to shape public engagement with science controversies? 4. Is the authority of the scientific expert declining faster in social platforms than other media environments? Why or why not? 5. What techniques and strategies can the news media employ to tackle the dark sides of digital technologies in public communication of controversial science issues? 6. What are the potential mechanisms for the news media, the science establishment and the civil society to cooperate in the fight against science mis/disinformation online? Instructions for Authors: Authors interested in submitting a paper for this issue are asked to consult the journal’s instructions for authors and send their abstracts (about 250 words, with a tentative title and reference to the thematic issue) by email to the Editorial Office (mac(a)cogitatiopress.com<mailto:mac@cogitatiopress.com>).

CfP: Graduate Colloquium on Digital Labour – University of Toronto, October 3, 2019<http://endl.network/indl-2-graduate-colloquium-on-digital-labour/> The International Network on Digital Labour is an association of scholars working on the different aspects of the relation between work and digital technology. In its desire to integrate young scholars and foster collaborations with senior members, the network has launched a first series of graduate colloquia to take place during its 2019 events. The 1st INDL colloquium was part of the conference "Microwork platforms"<http://endl.network/events/conferences/indl-1-conference/> that we organized in Paris in June. This second call for participants aims to select papers to be presented during a workshop on "Robots and Labour" that will take place at the University of Toronto on October 3rd. The colloquium will welcome all graduate students (master's & PhD) in different stages of their research who work on the many aspects of computer-mediated work, platform economies, online value production, automation, robotics, and tech-enabled outsourcing. It aims to give junior researchers the chance to interact with other scholars working in similar areas of interest, and discuss their current projects, methodological issues and receive advice on the thesis writing process and career prospects. Please note that, while the registration to the colloquium is free, the network cannot provide funding for travel or accommodation in Toronto. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics: * labour and robotics * the gig economy * work in the sharing economy * the gendered and racialized nature of digital labour * technology and precarious labour * automation and labour * platform capitalism * freelancing * data as labour * social media and labour * online content creation * playbour * platform co-operativism * technology and the commons * cultures of digital work Participation in the colloquium is limited. Interested applicants should prepare a two-page summary of their current project that indicate their research context, hypotheses or research questions, methods, issues, progress to date, and a brief statement indicating their interest in the colloquium. These documents should be addressed to julian.posada(a)mail.utoronto.ca<mailto:julian.posada@mail.utoronto.ca>.

IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies - Call for Associate Editors from Africa and the Middle East
by Lee, Mark 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear colleagues, The IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=4620076) is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced scholars based in Africa and the Middle East to serve as Associate Editors of the journal. Candidates for the AE roles must be well-established and reputable scholars with a substantial track record of research publications and citations in learning technologies (e.g., as evidenced by h-index and other relevant metrics). Prior experience serving in an editorial capacity for a peer-reviewed journal will be looked upon favorably, although this is not a requirement. Importantly, because TLT differs from most other educational technology journals in that it straddles the disciplines of computer science and education—as reflected by its inclusion in both the Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index—preference will be given to candidates who possess a strong technical background (e.g., qualifications in computer science, computer engineering, or a cognate field) in addition to educational/learning sciences research experience and expertise. More information, including instuctions on submitting an application, can be found at http://ieee-edusociety.org/about/ieee-tlt-call-associate-editors-africa-and… Kind regards, Mark J. W. Lee Editor-in-Chief IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies

Just Published: Licensing and Access to Content in the European Union (Cambridge University Press)
by Sebastian Felix Schwemer 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi all, I’m happy to announce the publication of my book, which may be of interest to the list: “Licensing and Access to Content in the European Union: Regulation between Copyright and Competition Law”. The book is available here: https://www.cambridge.org/9781108475778 (use SCHWEMER2019 for a 20% discount). If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out (and apologies for self-promotion) Best regards from Copenhagen, Sebastian From the blurb: “Copyright is territorial, but the same cannot be said of the internet, whose borderless nature has changed the way we consume copyright-protected material. Nevertheless, territorial segmentation of online content remains a reality in the 28 member states of the European Union. Licensing and access practices do not reflect this digital reality, in which end-users demand ubiquitous access to content. For this reason, the territorial nature of copyright and traditional business models based on national exploitation prevent the completion of the Digital Single Market. Sebastian Felix Schwemer provides a unique analysis of the dynamic licensing and access arrangements for audiovisual works and music and shows how they are being addressed by sector regulation and competition law in the Digital Single Market. His analysis, which includes case law of the Court of Justice, the Commission's competition proceedings, and various legislative tools, reveals the overlapping nature of legislative and non-legislative regulatory solutions.” @schwemer<https://twitter.com/schwemer> +45 35 33 10 16
