Dear AoIR members, I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to provide me with the following article: Hyman, Avi (2003). "Twenty years of ListServ as an academic tool". The Internet and Higher Education. 1(6): 17–24. My Institution is not a subscriber to the journal, there seems to be no free version available and apparently the corresponding author can't be contacted. I apologize in advance if this email is off-topic and in this case I'd absolutely agree that it be discarded.

Deadline approaching: apply to Research Associate, 2years, FT at Manchester - COVID Intimacies
by Jaime García Iglesias 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Deadline approaching to apply to join an exciting new project on intimacy and COVID-19 Location: University of Manchester Closing date (DD/MM/YYYY): 16/03/2022 Salary: £33,309 - £35,326 per annum dependent on experience Employment type: 2 years Hours per week: Full Time Contract Duration: 01 May 2022 until 30 April 2024 We're currently looking for a Research Associate to join Dr Jaime Garcia-Iglesias and Prof Brian Heaphy in the ESRC-funded COVID Intimacies project at the University of Manchester, department of Sociology. This is a 2-year, full-time appointment (£33,309 - £35,326 per annum dependent on experience) commencing on 1 May 2022. The ESRC funded project ‘Covid intimacies: Resilience and viral safety among LGBT and heterosexual people using dating apps in the COVID-19 era’ will examine lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans (LGBT+) and heterosexual people's use of online dating apps to negotiate intimacy during and after COVID-19 lockdowns and social distance. The study will provide evidence for the different ways in which the intimate lives of LGBT and heterosexual people have been similarly and differently affected by Covid-19 lockdowns and social distance; how diverse groups have developed 'new' practices of intimacy (including a sense of emotional and physical closeness) through dating apps; the impact of virtual intimacies on personal resilience; and the extent to which such intimacies mitigate or promote viral risk. The project will combine a nationwide mixed-methods online survey with in-depth online qualitative interviews. The survey will enable the gathering of demographic data, and the deployment of the Adult Resilience Measure (ARM-R). This is an exciting opportunity to join a team formed of senior scholars and ECRs with an emphasis on career development and mentoring.

Call for submissions for Internet Researchers Conference, 2022
by Ambika Tandon 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Hello, The Centre for Internet and Society is happy to announce the fifth edition of the Internet Researchers’ Conference (IRC22)! The conference will be held online in April, 2022. For the call for proposals, and more details, see: https://tinyurl.com/irc22 See below for a description of the theme of this year's conference: The ‘home’ has been a key line of defense in efforts to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Public health recommendations and governmental measures over the last two years have relied on the construction, and assumption, of home as a familiar, stable and safe space. As we continue to come to terms with, and find ways to reorient the disruption of life, being at home has acquired many new meanings. What has it meant to be at home, and what is home? What is and has been the role of the internet and digital media technologies in navigating the contours of a changing ‘normal’? How have/can digital technologies help overcome, or exacerbate existing social, economic and political challenges during the pandemic? What forms of digital infrastructure—tools, platforms, devices and services—help build, sustain and alter the notion of home? The conference will focus on three sub-themes as they relate to the notion of home - violence and care, labour, and movement-building. The sub-themes are outlined here: https://cis-india.org/raw/irc22-call-for-sessions-pdf We invite contributions that speak to these provocations through one or more of the thematic areas outlined above. The deadline for submission of session proposals is February 5, 2022. Submissions can be sent in to workshops(a)cis-india.org. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Best, Ambika -- Ambika Tandon Senior Researcher The Centre for Internet and Society

CfP Frontiers / Interrogating the Design of Smart, Sustainable, and Socially Just Urban Spaces: A Look at Institutions, Places, and Values
by shenja van der graaf 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

People experience the city in different ways. These experiences shape how people view the city and the values they seek to draw from this space. Increasingly, people are experimenting with big data and digital tools within the context of community-based public goods provision as a way to realize values such as sustainability and social justice. In such a way, they claim their right to the city. These experiments can be transformative. There has been a groundswell of scholarship on local efforts to become smarter in support of urban experiments. However, our knowledge of these experiments’ design features remains scant. Design shapes interactions within all collective endeavors. When spatial, institutional, and value-based design principles are weak or missing, urban experiments may fail. This is why this Research Topic’s special focus is on the question of spatial, institutional, and value-based design in urban experiments. Smart urban development seems inevitable for the future of our cities, but who should decide what that future should be like and whose interests smart urbanism serves? Politics is inherent to urban development, and there is increasing evidence that political struggle lies at the heart of urban transformation. From LGBTQ+ activism that claims a right to public space to youth climate protests, political struggle is a call to action. These movements are the flints that spark urban experiments. However, we have scant knowledge of these experiments’ governance, the co-evolution of institutions that guide them, and ways in which they are designed to render value. Research indicates that it is challenging to translate and implement public values in smart city technologies. This Research Topic explores the dynamics between socio-technological processes - particularly, value-based design - that shape urban space and how citizens can participate meaningfully, highlighting how institutional design principles can be leveraged without incurring associated risks. This Research Topic calls for original papers, empirical as well as theoretical, that use the analytical lens of institutional and/or value-based design principles to explore and connect current popular, normative, academic, and political notions on urban commons, such as in the “smart”, “inclusive”, “resilient”, "participatory", "citizen-centric", “sustainable” and “just” cities. The overall goal of this collection of papers is to bring together contributions on the role of institutional and value-based design principles within complex urban systems from different academic disciplines and perspectives. By acknowledging these different perspectives and discussing their cross-cutting themes, we aim to contribute to understanding the complex issues in implementing these technologies posing numerous challenges and trade-offs with which developers, designers, and professionals working in urban management are increasingly faced with. *Keywords*: Institutional design, Value-based design, Participatory city-making, Urban commons, Transformative capacities, Quality of life We welcome your *abstract by Jan 31, 2022* *Relevant information* Website cfp <https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/29142/interrogating-the-design-…> You can opt for a short piece to a longer article <https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sustainable-cities#article-types>!

CFP for Critical and Ethical Studies of Digital and Social Media - HICSS 56
by Amelia Acker 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, Apologies for cross posting this call for papers. My colleagues Andrew Iliadis and Nick Proferes, and I invite you to submit to the HICSS 56 Digital Social Media minitrack panel on Critical and Ethical Studies of Digital and Social Media <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/digital-and-social-media/#critical-and-e…>. This minitrack focuses on two themes: a) research that critically interrogates how and when digital and social media reify existing power structures or realign power for underrepresented or marginalized groups, and b) research that addresses ethical issues associated with doing research on digital and social media. The minitrack seeks both conceptual and empirical approaches to these two themes. Conceptual papers should address foundational scholarship and theories —e.g., important interventions for thinking about information exchange in communities and societies, key ideas, paradigms, and methods. Empirical papers should draw on original studies of digital and social media that illustrate the critical or ethical dimensions of digital infrastructures, social media platforms, or data use. Potential paper topics could explore the following topics and themes: - studies of the perpetuation of gender, race, ethno-nationalist, and faith-based hostility and bullying found in a range of online environments; - studies of the values and worldviews embedded within specific hardware and software technologies; - studies that look at the political economies and labor conditions of digital content creation, digital work, and the consequences of sharing economy platforms; - studies that look at mediated representations and practices of political community; - studies that examine digital power relations between individuals, collectives, and societal institutions. - case studies that grapple with the challenges and opportunities of unequal data access among digital and social media researchers (e.g., APIs, open vs. proprietary data); - studies that explore the situated ethics of social media research in different digital contexts - studies of the environmental impact that digital and social media researchers have on the planet by using and reusing data and metadata stored in resource-intensive ways; - studies of academic collaborations with actors that are a focus of controversies (e.g., military units, immigration enforcement officials, lobbying groups); - studies that mobilize non-traditional or experimental research methods developed for the specificities of digital and social media. Submissions are due 15 June 2022. For more dates and author instructions, please see: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ . Please share this CFP with interested colleagues, as you can. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, Amelia -- *Amelia Acker*, Assistant Professor Director, Critical Data Studies Lab *The University of Texas at Austin **| *School of Information http://www.ameliaacker.com/

Does Big Tech have too much power in the Post-Pandemic University?
by Mark Carrigan 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

*March 16th, 1pm-2pm GMT* Register here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Xrt0PuBhQCOP3YwNZaBzRA During the pandemic platforms like Zoom and Teams became central to the core operations of the university, enabling teaching and research to continue in the absence of face-to-face interaction. The radical change involved in what has been called the online pivot built upon a much longer term process of growing reliance upon digital infrastructure across higher education. Each operation of the university has been changed through cloud based services to the extent the university itself could be argued to increasingly resemble a platform, enabling individuals to work together at a distance while the system itself quietly shapes their interaction. The online pivot wouldn’t have been possible without these platforms but there are crucial questions we must begin to ask as we move into a new phase of this crisis. How are decisions about them being made? How are they changing working life within universities? What influence do the firms operating them have over what we do? What does our institutional dependence on them mean for the future of the university? In the first DTCE <http://www.twitter.com/madtce/> Forum we’re pleased to welcome three leading experts in this field for a dialogue about whether Big Tech has too much power in the post-pandemic university. Dr Janja Komljenovic <https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/educational-research/people/janja-komljenovic>, Professor Susan Robertson <https://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/people/staff/robertson/> and Dr Ben Williamson <https://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/ben-williamson> will reflect on these questions in conversation with DTCE’s Dr Mark Carrigan, with plenty of opportunity for audience participation.
