Question about Twitter data privacy policy
by gimena del rio riande 20 May '20

20 May '20

Dear air-l members I have a question about the Twitter privacy policy. We have just started this bilingual project on Digital Humanties approaches to Covid-19: https://covid.dh.miami.edu/ Our plan is to analyze, among other, Twitter data, using NLP and sentiment analysis tools, in a way we can contextualize the data and read it as a narrative. In the case of Twitter, we are cleaning and pre-processing the data: no usernames, no urls, only the clean texts. My question is: can this data be offered to people interested in the project as an open and free accessible database from our site? It is not clear to me from the infomation given in the Twitter data privacy policy for developers. Thanks in advance Gimena ### Dra.

Mining WordPress (entry-level): suggestions?
by Monica Marra 20 May '20

20 May '20

Dear all, I'm working on some blogs published on WordPress, trying to get anonymized statistics. I'm looking for a *very* entry-level tool that can help me calculate the number of commenters per month along a period of several months, while also categorizing commenters by nickname. Also, I'd love to hear if anyone has done the same for research purposes, how her/his experience was and any kind of suggestions about this. Please contact me in private, later on I'll summarize on the list the suggestions I have received. Hoping to get support, all the best, Monica Marra -- Monica Marra INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio di Astrofisica e Scienza dello Spazio v.

Upcoming Zoom Talk: “Media Policy in a Time of Crisis" with Victor Pickard
by Eleanor Marchant 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hi Everyone! We're excited to announce that for our next session of the Global Media Policy Seminar Series here at the Programme in Comparative Media Law & Policy in Oxford, we will be welcoming Victor Pickard from the Annenberg School for Communication at UPenn to talk about Media Policy in a Time of Crisis: Imagining a Post-Pandemic Future for News and Information”. The talk is scheduled for: 16:30 British Summer Time, Wednesday, June 3, 2020 Abstract: News media industries—particularly newspapers—are facing an existential threat. Dramatic shifts in digital economics, especially the collapse of commercial journalism’s advertising revenue, have devastated local journalism in recent years. The pandemic has accelerated this structural crisis and democratic societies across the globe are scrambling to save journalism before it is too late. My talk will draw from my recent book Democracy without Journalism? to discuss potential policy interventions to not only salvage–but also reinvent–our news media system. Ultimately this crisis is an opportunity to reimagine what journalism could and should be. Follow this link for more information about the talk, the seminar series as a whole, and details about how to join the live discussion in two weeks: https://pcmlp.socleg.ox.ac.uk/global-media-policy-seminar-series-victor-pic… ELEANOR R MARCHANT PHD ConflictNET<https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/research-and-subject-groups/politics-and-practice-…> Postdoctoral Fellow Programme in Comparative Media Law & Policy Centre for Socio-Legal Studies University of Oxford Tw: @ermarchant<https://twitter.com/ermarchant> | www.eleanormarchant.me<http://www.eleanormarchant.me>

COVID-19 Seminar #5: Dr Frederick Keck, CNRS-Collège de France-EHESS
by Thao Phan 20 May '20

20 May '20

*COVID-19 Seminar #5: Dr Frederick Keck, CNRS-Collège de France-EHESS* https://frederickkeck-seminar.eventbrite.com.au Please join us for seminar #5 in the COVID-19 seminar series, co-hosted by the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship & Globalisation (ADI) <https://www.deakin.edu.au/adi> and the Science and Society Network (SSN) <https://scienceandsocietynetwork.deakin.edu.au/>. *Date/time:* Tuesday 26th May, 2:30pm - 4pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time, GMT+10) *Title:* Flying Reservoirs: Virus hunters, birdwatchers and bat carers in Chinese sentinel posts *Abstract:* I will present the Covid-19 crisis through the conceptual grid I have built in my book, Avian Reservoirs, which just came out with Duke UP. Starting from speculations on the bat origins of the new coronavirus, I will ask questions about sentinels, simulations and stockpiling as techniques of preparedness for pandemics. I will then present the genealogy of pandemic preparedness in Hong Kong to ask the question : why were Hong Kong « virus hunters » more prepared « ontologically » for this pandemic ? How do techniques of anticipation of future epidemics depend on ontological relations between humans and non-human beings ? This will lead me to question Foucault’s definition of sovereign power as « make die and let live » through an ethnographic analysis of culling and releasing animals. The question I will ask then is : how are relations between humans and birds in Hong Kong forged through pandemic preparedness transformed when pandemic preparedness involves relations between humans and bats ? *About the speaker:* Frédéric Keck is the head of the Laboratory for Social Anthropology (CNRS-Collège de France-EHESS) funded by Claude Lévi-Strauss in 1960. After studying philosophy at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley, he has been researching the history of social anthropology and contemporary biopolitical questions raised by avian influenza. He was the head of the research department of the musée du quai Branly between 2014 and 2018. *Watch the seminar:* Seminar will be available to stream on YouTube live. Access using the live link: https://youtu.be/xs9kAOe957Y Date/time: Tuesday 26th May, 2:30pm - 4pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time, GMT+10) To send questions/participate in the YouTube Live chat, you'll need to sign-in using a YouTube account <https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-comment-on-youtube?r=AU&IR=T>.
