STS reading club retreat (Sept 6-10)
by Ana Visan 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Dear AoIRs, If you miss being in a class yourself and miss having conversations about the literature you’re passionate about, here is your opportunity: STS-Migtec is organizing a writing and reading retreat on the topics of border technologies, race and colonial/imperial power; border technologies and the (un)making of (un)knowledge; digital technologies, resistance and the mobile commons; migration control infrastructures and alternative infrastructures of resistance; migration control, technopolitics of public infrastructures, and (lacking) existential provisions and human rights. We invite you to join us. More details below. Ana PhD Candidate at the Balsillie School of International Affairs <https://www.balsillieschool.ca/> +1 519 502 3310 ________ *First STS MIGTEC Writing & Reading RETREAT* Call for Applications and Participation online (September 6-10 2021) In 2021 the first edition of the STS MIGTEC <http://sts-migtec.org/>Writing and Reading Retreat will take place online. The 5 days-course aims to reflect and contribute to a critical understanding of current developments, shifts and transformations of migration and border control heavily shaped by the development, implementation and usage of technologies and socio-material infrastructures. The STS MIGTEC Writing and Reading Retreat targets PhD students, early career and overall interested researchers from all academic backgrounds working at the intersection of science and technology studies (STS) and critical migration, security and border studies. It seeks to bring researchers from different disciplines and around the world together and to initiate scientific exchange to produce synergies for relevant knowledge production. The STS MIGTEC Writing and Reading Retreat will cover themes like the following ones: border technologies, race and colonial/imperial power; border technologies and the (un)making of (un)knowledge; digital technologies, resistance and the mobile commons; migration control infrastructures and alternative infrastructures of resistance; migration control, technopolitics of public infrastructures, and (lacking) existential provisions and human rights. It will combine different activities in two separate working groups: a) a writing group dedicated to presentations and critical peer-discussions of participants’ ongoing writing projects, b) a reading group dedicated to thematic readings and discussions. Additionally, there will be social activities orientated to networking and socializing with peers, roundtable sessions with renowned international academic experts as well as with stakeholders and activists, and optional yoga classes. *a) Retreat Writing Group* Developing the idea and working on a research paper can be a challenging and time-consuming task, especially if working alone. This sprint workshop is designed to promote collaboration among early-career scholars who want to discuss a still preliminary article draft in a small and intimate setting. We welcome researchers looking for co-authors to further develop their ideas together. Workshop participants will be able to discuss potential common research interests, identify gaps in scientific literature and try hands-on converting the ideas into research output thanks to the constant confrontation and peer feedback. The goal is that by the end of the sprint everyone will have concrete plans on how to develop the article idea further. The program of the workshop includes during four sessions (à max. 2,5 hours) the presentation of paper drafts, receiving group feedback and individual comments, work in pairs, and walkthrough the academic writing process. Brief insights from the sessions will be shared in a visual report on the STS MIGTEC blog afterwards. *b) Retreat Reading Group* The STS MIGTEC reading club is a digital meeting space where the members would suggest and discuss literature related and relevant to classic and contemporary readings coming from Science and Technology Studies, Critical Migration and Border and Security Studies. The reading club will start during the STS MIGTEC retreat, and it will continue with monthly meetings. The first round of the reading club will be dedicated to women scholars and will touch upon feminist technoscience readings. The scope of the first round is to bring research on migration together with feminist and postcolonial reflections, theories and methodologies that have been developed within an STS context. The Retreat Reading Group will be structured in four sessions, each covering one to two texts. Each session’s length will be up to 2,5 hours and two/three persons will be in charge for a short introduction of the proposed texts and the session’s structure in general (that is preparing structuring questions, taking notes and providing a brief wrap-up in the end). Brief insights from the sessions will be shared in a visual report on the STS MIGTEC blog afterwards. Suggested readings for sessions are so far: ‘’The Cyborg Manifesto’ in an Era of Mobility’ (Donna Haraway); ‘Feminist STS and the Sciences of the Artificial’ and ‘Technologies of Migration’ (Lucy Suchman); ‘Dark Matters: Racialized Surveillance of Migrants’ (Simone Browne); ‘Matters of Care’ & ‘Matters of Migrants’ (Maria Puig de la Bellacasa); ‘Monsters, Catastrophes and the Anthropocene’ (Gaia Giuliani); ’Data Feminism’ (D’Ignazio, Catherine, and Lauren F. Klein); ’Agential Realism’ (Karen Barad); ’Technofeminism’ (Judy Wajcman).

reminder: CfP: Media Anthropology: (digital) Communication Practices and Processes - IUAES 2021 Yucatan, 9-13/11/2021 (virtual event)
by Marie Hermanova 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

(apologies for cross-posting) Dear all, This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting abstracts for the IUAES 2021 Yucatan congress is next week (June 30th) and we'd be very happy to receive your abstracts to our panel - all info below and looking forward to your contributions! *Media Anthropology: (digital) Communication Practices and Processes * The term “media” occupies such a crucial space in our lives that human interactions are increasingly analysed from a “mediated” perspective. Media forms have been subjected to adulation and censorship simultaneously and are often spoken in terms of the power they have to shape ideas and practices. Anthropological thinking and methods have a vital role to play here, in highlighting the myriad ways in which contemporary worldviews are shaped by media and vice versa. The panel invites scholars from both media anthropology and media/communication studies perspectives to a discussion about theoretical and methodological exchanges between the fields in the broadest sense. *Possible contributions can include the following topics:* - theoretical and methodological discussions of contemporary socio-cultural phenomena that benefit from anthropological approach on an epistemological and/or methodological level, analysis of the value of ethnographic intent for media/communication studies. - ethnography as a method for the study of digital communication and platforms; strategies, ethical and methodological challenges, methodologically oriented discussion about ethnography as practice in media/communication studies. - media ethnographies, including digital media - empirical explorations of living, experiencing, and performing the self online and in the media, uses and reinventions of (digital) media platforms, identity work and configurations of cultural subjectivities (audiences, publics, users and fans). - digital cultural socialities and online lives from emic perspective - practices, hierarchies, norms, discourses of digital platforms and communities. *The deadline for abstract submissions (400 words) is 30 June 2021.* You can submit your abstract here*: * https://www.iuaes2021yucatan.org/call-for-papers-registration/ and choose our panel/table in Group 3. We are looking forward to receiving your proposals, *Florencia García-Rapp, Marie Hermanova and Haripriya Narasimhan* -- *Dr Marie Hermanova* Postdoctoral researcher Gender & Sociology Department Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences Visiting Scholar Centre for Research in Communication and Culture, Loughborough University, UK @MarieHermanova https://www.soc.cas.cz/en/lide/marie-hermanova

Datafication of Sexuality (CFP) 22 July 2021
by Kate O'Riordan 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Datafication of Sexuality Thursday 22 July 2021 Sussex Humanities Lab University of Sussex We invite proposals for a workshop on the Datafication of Sexuality, hosted at the Sussex Humanities Lab and with the FACT/// Network. A hybrid event, it will take place from 1PM to 3PM on Thursday 22 July on Zoom and in the lab. This workshop will feed into a larger research project that examines issues in relation to the datafication of sexuality and algorithmic sexuality. We welcome participants interested in any aspect of the datafication of sexuality. Workshop topics might address the following questions. What is the history of the datafication of sexuality, sexual publics, and sexual minorities? Which actors collect this data and to what ends? Which tools and techniques have been used to collect, categorise, and visualise this data? We especially welcome proposals that examined how these practices have developed from the 1980s to the present. Presenters will be asked to contribute a short presentation and engage in discussion and development of ideas. We are interested in building a network and a bid that links to a project that contextualises consumer genomics (e.g., 23andMe) research initiatives pertaining to LGBTQ+ publics within the history of the datafication of sexuality. If you are interested in presenting, please email Sandra Nelson (Sandra.Nelson(a)sussex.ac.uk) by Friday 25 June. Thank you.

Hybrid Workshop Inclusive Media Education for Diverse Societies 11 - 12 November 2021 @University of Groningen, the Netherlands
by Cigdem Bozdag 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

CfP - Hybrid Workshop Inclusive Media Education for Diverse Societies 11 - 12 November 2021 @University of Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands The definition of the term “media literacy” has evolved and alternative concepts such as network literacy, information literacy, digital literacy among others have been suggested to capture the dynamics of the changing media environments. Although the terminologies and definitions have changed over time and the different approaches incorporate a variety of perspectives, issues related to diversity, inclusion and intercultural dialogue were not central to media literacy until very recently. To develop a more inclusive approach to media literacy education in our increasingly super-diverse societies and strengthen the diversity of voices and intercultural dialogue in the public arena, inclusive media literacy education should revolve around reflective tools in order to learn how to live with difference. Drawing on black feminist theory, we argue that a critical approach to media literacy education needs to address diversity and differences through an intersectional lens. To promote media justice, inclusive media literacy should acknowledge and provide means to transform how identities and power are shaped through the mediation of intersecting axes of difference including nationality, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, ability, migration status and socioeconomic class. This hybrid workshop aims to bring together papers that develop a critical perspective and focus on issues related to media literacy education, differences and diversity. We aim to include conceptual papers as well as empirical studies from different contexts that provide a critical reflection of existing media education practices. The papers can focus on the following topics among others: ● Media literacy education for intercultural dialogue; ● Media literacy education for marginalized groups; ● Critical approaches to media literacy education with a focus on intersectionality and/or diversity; ● Media literacy education for migrants and refugees; ● Decolonizing media literacy education; ● Media literacy and social inclusion; ● Participatory methods within media literacy education and research. The workshop will be convened as a hybrid workshop. Selected presenters will have the opportunity to present online or offline (latter depending on the restrictions due to Covid19 pandemic at the time of the workshop). The workshop will be organized between 9.00-17.00 Central European Time (CET). There will be no fees for attending this workshop. Please email your 400 words abstract with a short bio (150 words) to inclusive.media.education(a)gmail.com <mailto:inclusive.media.education@gmail.com>. Deadline September 7, 2021. If you are a PhD student, kindly include in your submission email whether you would be interested to join a PhD workshop we are planning to organize 1 day prior to the workshop, on November 11, 2021. We will be contacting the PhD students, who raise their interest about the PhD workshop. Conference Publication The submissions for the workshop will be considered to be published in the special issue “Inclusive Media Literacy Education for Diverse Societies” (10/4) in the open access journal Media and Communication. Please indicate your interest in publishing in the special issue upon submission. Open Access Fee: The journal has an article publication fee to cover its costs and guarantee that the article can be accessed free of charge by any reader, anywhere in the world, regardless of affiliation. Further information about the journal's open access charges and institutional members can be found here. We will also actively seek to gather funds to support OA fees for contributors who might need financial assistance.

21 Jun '21

Second International Conference on Digital Data Processing Marrakesh, Morocco November 11-13, 2021 [1]www.socio.org.uk/ddp (IEEE CPS. Papers should follow IEEE template) Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organization or industry processes more than few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyze and process data more efficiently where the Data analytics are able to reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. The data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, the study of data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies are a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous, still, they sufficiently do not solve the data processing requirements. Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse the voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on various decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from the data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains. Hence this conference reviews and discusses, the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that requires further consideration/ The proposed conference will discuss the topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data ecosystem Business analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Privacy and Security Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modeling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytic, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning Network optimization Publications DDP is technically supported by IEEE CPS. The DDP papers will be submitted for publication and indexing in IEEE Xplore. Besides, modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals. 1. Journal on Data Semantics 2. Technologies 3. Data Technologies and Applications 4. Webology 5. Journal of Digital Information Management 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics 7. Journal of Optimization 8.
