Indigenous/First peoples and digital data/information
by Geoff Lush 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello all A broad request I know, but I thought I'd ask the group's collective wisdom regarding any authoritative sources for Indigenous/First People's perspectives, methodologies and treatments of digital data. This can relate to matters surrounding indigenous people's approaches to the management, processing and application of online data, metadata, information, social media etc. This could relate to intellectual property, etc. but can also any philosophical approaches to the management of that data/information that may also be involved. Many thanks in advance for any responses. Geoff Lush New Zealand Parliamentary Library ________________________________

CityU Methodology Workshop Series on Conflict Studies (Speaker: Prof. Paul Y. Chang, Harvard University)
by Yuner Zhu 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello Everyone, You are cordially invited to join the Conflict Studies Methodology Workshop Series organized by Political Analysis Lab <http://www.cityu.edu.hk/pol/pal/> (PAL) and Centre for Public Affairs and Law <http://www.cityu.edu.hk/cpal/> (CPAL), City University of Hong Kong. Title: The Structure of Protest Cycles: Inspiration and Bridging in South Korea’s Democracy Movement Speaker: Prof. Paul Y. Chang Date: 25 March Thursday 2021 (Hong Kong Time) Time: 10am-11:15am (Hong Kong Time) Format: Zoom Webinar Registration: https://forms.gle/Wi8g9v1mF8mwnPqL8 Abstract: Although the concept of protest cycles has received much attention in the collective action literature, its empirical operationalization remains relatively crude compared to the rich theoretical discussion. Reimagining social movements as populations of interlinked protests, we demonstrate the usefulness of analyzing protest event networks with a novel dataset related to South Korea’s democracy movement. In our conceptualization protest events play the role of network nodes and links are identified based on protesters citing prior events as sources of inspiration for mobilizing. Appropriating strategies for network analysis, we assess the types of events that were more likely to be cited as sources of inspiration and bridge otherwise disconnected events. Our analysis shows that protests that raised systemic versus local issues and events that were repressed by the state were more likely to occupy central positions in the democracy movement. By identifying the characteristics of events that contribute to movement inspiration and bridging, our novel approach to analyzing protest events sheds new light on dominant themes in social movement research. About Speaker: Paul Y. Chang is Associate Professor of Sociology at Harvard University and served as the 2019-2020 Joy Foundation Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. He is the author of *Protest Dialectics: State Repression and South Korea’s Democracy Movement, 1970-1979* (Stanford University Press 2015) and co-editor of *South Korean Social Movements: From Democracy to Civil Society* (Routledge 2011). We look forward to seeing you soon. Political Analysis Lab and Centre for Public Affairs and Law, City University of Hong Kong
