** apologies for any cross-postings ** Dear all, Please find details below for an upcoming workshop on the Estonian Data Embassy and extraterritoriality of data, to be held in Tallinn, Estonia – 19-20th September 2019. We have extended the deadline for abstract submissions. The deadline is now: Friday 12th July 2019. Happy to answer any questions you might have re: theme, submissions etc. https://easychair.org/cfp/ExDa2019 Best wishes, Nick Robinson International Workshop on the Extraterritoriality of Data 19-20 September 2019 DigiGovLab, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Tallinn, Estonia This year will see the first Estonian Data Embassy open and fully operational in Luxembourg. The promise of extraterritorially storing backups of critical data and information systems (in so-called ‘data embassies’) - and operating them from a secure data centre outside of a State’s own territorial borders - will continue to elicit more interest from governments that are today faced with increasing, multifaceted uncertainties and disruptions: from cyber-attacks and natural hazards, to legitimate threats to State sovereignty and territorial integrity. But in doing so, the Data Embassy begins to open up a much wider conversation at the intersection of cybersecurity, geopolitics and law. Debates are coalescing around the extraterritoriality of data (Eichensehr, 2017) - from nation-state claims over data sovereignty to disputes over jurisdiction when storing government data in the cloud - and the extensive impact this may have upon our long-held assumptions over contemporary politics, diplomacy and law. To date, academic debate on extraterritorial data storage has remained scant - even more so when considering the conceptual nature of the data embassy. The aim of this workshop, therefore, is to bring together a wide variety of interdisciplinary voices and perspectives in order to drive forward this emerging agenda. We invite paper contributions that discuss and address (not limited to) the following themes: * Extraterritorial data storage * Digital assets in the cloud * Data sovereignty and the state * Cloud computing, cybersecurity and law * Geopolitics and international relations * territory, statecraft, sovereignty, borders * Data studies * data sovereignty, data mobility, data privacy, data intangibility * The Data Embassy and law * Tallinn Manual, Vienna Conventions, legal continuity * The Data Embassy and diplomacy * digital diplomacy, diplomatic relations, the future of the embassy * The Data Embassy in theory and practice * digital continuity, monuments, & state * governments-in-exile, disaster recovery * cyberwarfare Please prepare a 250-word abstract proposal, along with name and affiliation. Submissions must be made using the workshop’s EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exda2019) system, which serves as the online system for the review process. Key Dates Abstract submission deadline: 12th July 2019 Abstract acceptance: 29 July 2019 Draft paper submission: 6 September 2019 Full paper submission: Discussed and agreed during workshop Workshop information The workshop will take place at TalTech University, Tallinn, Estonia, over two days between 19 and 20 September 2019. Hosted by TalTech’s DigiGovLab the workshop will take place on the campus of TalTech in Mustamäe, Tallinn. Format of the Workshop The format of the workshop will be a two-day meeting.

Day 1 will begin after lunch and will open with a keynote, followed by a paper session and panel discussion. A workshop dinner will then follow in the evening. Day 2 will begin with a keynote, followed by a paper session. After lunch, two more paper sessions will follow and the workshop will close with a participatory discussion on future steps for research. A full programme and schedule will be released in due course. Publication We plan to do a post-workshop publication. During the workshop the outlet will be discussed, and, a hard deadline will be set for full paper submissions.

Call for Papers: Constructing Young Selves in a Digital Media Ecology: Youth Cultures, Practices and Identity
by Liza Tsaliki 01 Jul '19

Call for Papers: Constructing Young Selves in a Digital Media Ecology: Youth Cultures, Practices and Identity A Two-day Symposium Department of Communication and Media Studies, School of Economics and Political Science, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and Information, Communication & Society (iCS). Dates: Thursday 4 and Friday 5 June 2020 https://sites.google.com/view/ics2020conference/home The development of young people’s identities and sense of selfhood is widely recognized as being a social activity undertaken through interaction and feedback with significant others. Advancing beyond earlier top-down models of socialization, whereby parents and teachers were largely seen as responsible for transmitting stable cultural norms, knowledge, political attitudes, religious beliefs and social practices to young people, contemporary understanding has instead foregrounded the active, dynamic, co-construction of young selves. Such approaches have not only drawn attention to the active engagement of young people in shaping their own identities but has also emphasized the wider social, political, economic, cultural contexts that frame the possibilities for the interactive realization of personhood. Most profoundly, and the focus of this international symposium, for the current generation of young people, the active construction of self is significantly mediated by and through a digital media ecology of communications networks, algorithms and platforms. These emergent networked environments have led to celebrations about the potential to enhance the development of young selves through wider access to knowledge, cultures, beliefs, identities and the opportunities to perform such self-formation through online interaction with diverse others. But it has also produced moral panics for those concerned about the perceived negative effects of digital media, such as attention deficit, the break-down of authority, dumbing down of education, infantilizing politics, and the weakening of traditional family ties. Premised upon a notion of youth as a social construction, as well as upon its permeability, and taking into account how young people - whether as young children, tweens, teenagers, or late twentysomething, whether in the West or outside of it- are growing up with significant access to globalized media and transmedia platforms and narratives, this two-day international symposium will critically investigate the issues presented by the construction of young selves within the contemporary digital media ecology. With the aim to grasp the complexity and diversity of most young people’s experiences and practices with online technologies, we invite original research findings and theoretical analysis addressing (though not exclusively) such questions as: • What role for young people do traditional markers of identity such as social class, religion, family, or geography play in online group interaction? • As increasingly more young people find themselves geographically dispersed and living transitional lives in immigrant communities or in refugee camps, what kind of possibilities for connectedness, dialogue and identity-making online technologies have to offer? • What value are social media platforms for gay, transgender, queer, atheist, or differently abled young people as spaces for socialization? • How much are young people’s political norms and engagement practices facilitated by digital communication? • How does everyday online engagement affect interaction between young people and significant others such parents, teachers and other traditional ‘authority’ figures? • Does social networking influence learning practices, competencies or curriculum design? • What are young people’s attitudes and actual use of digital media in everyday life? • How should we assess the significance of celebrity culture for young people’s development of self? • Are young people more likely to develop a transnational outlook as a consequence of the digital media ecology? KEY DATES We invite 400-word abstracts outlining empirical, theoretical or policy-orientated papers that address these or related questions. Abstracts should be accompanied by a 100-word biography of the presenter(s) together with contact details, all sent to Assoc. Prof. Liza Tsaliki at icsathens2020(a)gmail.com Abstract submission by 15 October 2019 Notification of decision: 15 December 2019. A selection of papers presented at the symposium will be published in a special issue of the international Journal Information, Communication & Society (iCS).
