CFP: Special Issue on Justice-Centered Design for Youth, International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction
by Priya Kumar 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Hello, AoIR, On behalf of my co-editors, Karla Badillo-Urquiola and Jason Yip, I invite you to submit papers to a special issue that we are curating on Justice-Centered Design for Youth for the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction. *Papers are due May 13*. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Full CFP and timeline below: CFP: Special Issue on Justice-Centered Design for Youth, International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-child-computer-i… There is no shortage of people who care about issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethics in the Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) community. Researcher philosophies influence the commitments made in scholarly efforts, which in turn influence a research project’s underlying ethically-oriented tenets. From engaging diverse, marginalized populations, to aiming to empower youth, to implementing child-centered approaches, to designing intentionally equitable, inclusive artifacts, the CCI community has made these commitments clear for almost two decades. Yet, we also know there exists many opportunities for the community to learn and grow. To consider such issues, researchers in our community have organized panels and workshops that (1) address ethics and equity and inclusion in CCI research more broadly and (2) target specific aspects of these issues (e.g., how technologies affect the participation of marginalized youth; designing technologies for children with special needs; including children in the design process]). And while some of these—plus keynote speeches and position papers—integrate social justice into their discussions around how we might orient and conduct our research, there has yet to be a central focus on *justice*. Building on and continuing past CCI research efforts, this call for publications is an opportunity to bring together scholars from a range of backgrounds and experiences who are all committed to doing work with *youth that is justice-oriented.* *Special issue information:* What do we mean by justice-centered or justice-oriented? At Interaction Design and Children 2021 we explored this concept through a workshop focusing on three themes: - *What does it mean for us (within the CCI community) to be justice-centered?* - *Why should we be justice-centered with youth? What is at stake?* - *How can we in the CCI community be justice-centered?* Through this work, we conceptualize justice as social, political, and action-driven. It consists not only of critically understanding what is fair or equitable but also intentionally, reflexively working to correct what is inequitable, both within and beyond the research engagements themselves, and spanning ecological system levels (i.e., individual, micro, meso, exo, and macro). We draw from a range of existing literature on justice (e.g., critical theories of learning, identity, and pedagogy, critical race theory, intersectionality, critical pedagogy, Latinx critical theory) to collectively consider how our actions might actively work against the perpetuation of inequities. In this call, we bring together an interdisciplinary team of scholars and leaders working across research areas with youth. We all share a deep commitment to learning, unlearning, and justice for youth. We welcome and encourage researchers in this cross-disciplinary field to submit original research articles reporting experiments, case studies, reviews, as well as theoretical work investigating the role of justice for children. In particular, review contributions are invited on (but not limited to) the following topics: - Theories pertaining to justice-centered design - New methods and techniques for achieving justice-centered design - Groups of youth: infants, children, teens, young adults - Relationships between concepts equity, justice, empowerment, etc. - Justice-centered design within current youth technology trends - The intersection of justice-centered design and technology implementation for youth - Concerns and ethical issues about justice-centered design - Roles of identity (gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) within justice-centered design for youth - Future trends of justice-centered design for youth *Manuscript submission information:* *Deadlines*: - Deadline for manuscript submissions: May 13, 2022 - Notification to authors (first round): July 18, 2022 - Deadline for revised manuscripts: September 16, 2022 - Final notification to authors: October 14, 2022 - Editorial acceptance deadline (camera-ready): October 26, 2022 *Peer Review Process:* Each article will be reviewed by at least two external and independent reviewers. The reviewers will have the necessary expertise to properly assess the submission. Submissions will be assessed on their relevance to the themes of the special issue and the overall potential to meaningfully contribute to the special issue. -- *Priya Kumar, PhD* (she/her <https://www.mypronouns.org/>) University of Maryland | College of Information Studies (iSchool <http://ischool.umd.edu/>) pkumar12(a)umd.edu | priyakumar.org* | *@DearPriya <https://twitter.com/dearpriya>

Join the Internet Filtering Symposium April 26-27, 2022
by Oltmann, Shannon M. 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

Please consider joining us for the Internet Filtering Symposium on April 26-27, 2022 The symposium will be hybrid, based in Lexington, Kentucky, or via zoom. Free registration, hotel and travel information, symposium schedule, and more are all available at the website: https://www.uky.edu/internetfilteringsymposium/home . The internet is filtered in public schools and public libraries across the U.S., as required by the federal legislation mandating the use of filters to receive E-rate funding for their internet services. Many states also tie funding for libraries and schools to some sort of internet filtering or are reinforcing the use of internet filtering as a claimed remedy for prostitution, human trafficking, and pornography addiction.. The practice of mandating filtering as a prerequisite for funding is so widely accepted that libraries' and schools’ use of the $7.171 billion Emergency Connectivity Fund--just signed by President Biden--is conditioned on the installation and use of filters on all school and library owned laptops and tablets (and possibly mobile hotspots). But internet filtering may connect with misinformation and disinformation campaigns--is it better to provide an unfiltered, broad array of information to combat fake news, or is fake news the result of an unfiltered “wild west” internet? Very little is known about the ways in which filtering is implemented, its effects, or the populations who are most impacted. At the symposium, we will discuss these issues and more. Questions?

CfP: 5th International Workshop on Geospatial Linked Data at ESWC2022 (SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to March 15th)
by Beyza Yaman 07 Mar '22

07 Mar '22

Apologies for cross-posting! ------------------------------------------------- Dear all, We are happy to announce that the 5th International Workshop on Geospatial Linked Data will be co-located with the European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) in May 2022. Details are published on the website: https://i3mainz.github.io/GeoLD2022/ Abstract: ------------- Geospatial data are essential not only for many traditional GIS tasks such as navigation, logistics, and tourism, but even more for emerging technologies like autonomous vehicle navigation, smart city technologies, and further location-based services. For all these technologies, geospatial linked data (GLD) is a crucially important source of machine-readable pre-interpreted information. Recently, we can observe a transformation process of spatial data infrastructures from previously merely acting as data providers to becoming brokers of geospatial information of different kinds, origins, quality, and a need to interconnect and incorporate information of different data repositories, often even in real-time. This need for GLD integration leads to efforts to create next-generation knowledge graphs which integrate multiple spatial datasets with large numbers of general datasets containing some geospatial references (e.g., \emph{DBpedia, Wikidata}) and even volunteered geographic information (e.g., \emph{LinkedGeoData}) and sensor data. This integration, either on the public Web or within organizations has immense socio-economic and academic benefits. The upsurge in linked data-related presentations in the Eurogeographics data quality workshop series, in relevant journal publications, in activities of standardization bodies (OGC GeoSPARQL), and in Spatial Data Applications shows a deep interest in GLD in national mapping agencies and beyond. GLD enables web-based, interoperable geospatial data infrastructures that may enhance and support existing standardization efforts like Europe's INSPIRE directive. Moreover, geospatial information systems benefit from Linked Data principles in building the next generation of spatial data applications, e.g., federated smart buildings, self-piloted vehicles, delivery drones, or automated local authority services, which is of increasing interest to various stakeholders. This workshop invites papers covering the challenges and solutions for handling GLD, especially for building high-quality, adaptable, geospatial data infrastructures and next-generation spatial applications. We aim to demonstrate the latest approaches and implementations and to discuss the solutions to challenges and issues arising from research and industrial organizations. Topics of interest ----------------------- • GLD vocabularies and standards (GeoSPARQL, INSPIRE, W3C, OGC) • Extraction/transformation of GLD from native geospatial data sources • Integration (schema mapping, interlinking, fusion) techniques for Geospatial RDF Data • Enrichment, quality and evolution of Linked Data with Geospatial information • Machine Learning improving GLD processing • Distributed solutions for GLD management (storing, querying, mapping) • Algorithms and tools for large scale, scalable GLD management • Efficient Indexing and Querying of GLD • Geospatial-specific Reasoning on RDF Data • Ranking techniques on querying Geospatial RDF Data • Advanced querying capabilities on Geospatial RDF Data • Benchmarking of GLD applications • GLD in social web platforms and applications • Visualization models/interfaces for browsing/authoring/querying GLD • Real world applications/use cases/paradigms using GLD • Evaluation/comparison of tools/libraries/frameworks for GLD • Data governance models for GLD Important Dates ---------------------- Paper submission: March 15th, 2022 Notification of acceptance: April 14th, 2022 Camera-ready paper submission: April 19th, 2022 Organizing Committee: ------------------------------- Timo Homburg (i3mainz – Institute for Spatial Information & Surveying Technology, Mainz University of Applied Sciences, Germany) Dr. Beyza Yaman (ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Sherif (University of Paderborn, Germany) Assoc. Prof. Dr. Armin Haller (Australian National University, Australia) We are looking forward to your submissions! Best Regards, Timo Homburg, Beyza Yaman, Mohamed Ahmed Sherif, Armin Haller.
