Social good is typically defined as something that provides a benefit to the general public. In this context, clean air and water, Internet connection, education, and healthcare are all good examples of social goods. However, new media innovations and the explosion of online communities have added new meaning to the term. Social good is now about global citizens uniting to unlock the potential of individuals, technology, and collaboration to create a positive societal impact. GoodIT solicits papers that address important research challenges related to, but not limited to: • Citizen science • Civic intelligence • Decentralized approaches to IT • Digital solutions for Cultural Heritage • Environmental monitoring • Ethical computing • Frugal solutions for IT • Game, entertainment, and multimedia applications • Health and social care • IT for automotive • IT for development • IT for education • IT for smart living • Privacy, trust and ethical issues in ICT solutions • Smart governance and e-administration • Social informatics • Socially responsible IT solutions • Sustainable cities and transportation • Sustainable IT • Technology addressing the digital divide Paper Submission The papers should not exceed eleven (11) pages single-column, including figures, tables, and references in the new ACM format (https://cyprusconferences.org/goodit2022/index.php/authors/ ). They must be original works and must not have been previously published. At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and present the work at the conference; otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library. In addition to a Main Track, the conference features 9 additional Special Tracks. More information on these tracks is available on the conference web site. Journal Special Issues and Best Paper Award Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to two special journal issues: • FGCS, Elsevier (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems) • MDPI Sensors, where the theme of the special issue will be "Application of Information Technology (IT) to Social Good" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/topical_collection_good… ). Specifically 5 papers will be invited free of charge and another 5 papers will get a 20% discount on the publication fees. Furthermore, MDPI Sensors will sponsor a Best Paper Award with the amount of 400 CHF. Work-in-Progress and PhD Track Inside ACM GoodIT, the Work-in-Progress and PhD Track provides an opportunity to showcase interesting new work that is still at an early stage. We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit to the Work-in-Progress venue as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues.

CfP - EXTENDED deadline (June 30) - Special Issue "Teaching with Games: Educational Gaming in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics" - gamevironments
by Lisa Kienzl 31 May '22

31 May '22

Dear colleagues, the CfP for the special issue "Teaching with Games: Educational Gaming in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics" edited by Tim Hutchings will be extended until June 30th, 2022. The special issue will be published in the international peer-reviewed open-access journal GAMEVIRONMENTS. You find all details below. We are looking forward to your abstract submission! Best wishes, Lisa Kienzl manging editor gamevironments ----------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue GAMEVIRONMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ Teaching with Games: Educational Gaming in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics edited by Tim Hutchings ------------------------------------------------------------ This special issue invites contributions that address the history and future of educational gaming, with particular attention to the fields of religious studies, theology, philosophy and ethics. While the representation and influence of religion in mainstream games has been studied extensively, we argue that much less attention has been paid to games developed specifically for the purpose of exploring religious, ethical and philosophical perspectives. This issue challenges that oversight, calling for fresh attention to the ways in which games and gaming have been adopted for didactic purposes within religious communities, ethical campaign groups, academic contexts and beyond. We invite discussion of any and all kinds of games, including videogames, boardgames and other game formats. Since the 1980s, more than 1500 videogames have been created by and for religious communities, as demonstrated by the extraordinary archive produced by Vivian Gonzalez (http://www.religiousgames.org/) Videogames and playful virtual environments have also been produced by academic teams for educational purposes, from elaborate religious environments constructed in Second Life to new virtual reality settings that locate the user within religious and ethical situations. One pioneering example is The Durga Puja Mystery, an educational game created by Xenia Zeiler and Flying Robot Studios in 2020. Other games take a more questioning approach to religion and ethics, forcing players to reckon with the consequences of religious hypocrisy and spiritual abuse, or challenging players to wrestle with moral conundrums that threaten to compromise their values and commitments. What unites these games, and gives a shared focus to this special issue, is their intention to guide the player through a process of change and formation. This special issue invites contributions in a wide range of formats. Peer-reviewed journal articles are welcomed, but we will also consider research reports, game reviews, interviews with game developers, reports from the classroom and reports on games currently under development. Potential authors are encouraged to contact the editor to discuss ideas for theme and format. ----------------------------------------------------------- Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects are welcome, including research informed by religious studies, philosophy and other humanities disciplines. Topics may include, but are not limited to: * studies of games from all religious, spiritual or ethical traditions * games inspired by sacred texts and stories * games that promote social justice or social change * philosophical analysis of the ethics of educational/formational games * studies of discourses around gaming in religious or educational contexts * evaluation of the impact of educational games in religious or ethical settings * new trends and developments in educational or formative gaming * educational uses of innovative gaming technologies, including virtual reality * case studies of innovative educational games * reports on the use of games in the classroom ------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION DETAILS Journal articles should be 5-8000 words in length and will be subject to double-blind peer review. Reviews, interviews and other formats will be reviewed by the special issue editor. Submission guidelines can be found here and the journal style guide can be found here: https://www.gamevironments.uni-bremen.de/submission-guideline/. There is no article processing charge. Authors are encouraged to use images but will be required to request permission from copyright-holders when needed. ------------------------------------------------------------ TIMELINE For all contributions, please submit a title, a 300-word abstract and a 100-word biographical statement about each author.

Online Seminar 6 June | Pippa NORRIS: In Praise of Skepticism: Trust but Verify
by Yuner Zhu 31 May '22

31 May '22

Dear all, You are cordially invited to join the *Advanced Methods School* organized by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) <https://www.cityu.edu.hk/class/>, City University of Hong Kong. The Advanced Methods School will kick off with a LIVE keynote from Prof Pippa NORRIS on 6 June at 9:15am HKT (9:15pm EDT). The details are as follows: Title: In Praise of Skepticism: Trust but Verify Date: 6 June 2022 (Monday) Time: 9:15am – 11:30am HKT | 9:15pm – 11:30pm EDT Speaker: Prof Pippa NORRIS, Harvard University Format: Zoom Meeting Registration: https://cityuhk.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?tt=aCjhJf05CQ0%3D Abstract: The concept of trustworthiness can be understood to involve an informal social contract where principals authorise others to act on their behalf in the expectation that the agent will fulfil their responsibilities, despite conditions of risk and uncertainty. When evaluating the trustworthiness of political institutions, public judgments are expected to reflect the quality of government procedures, especially the principles of competency, impartiality and integrity. The most extensive body of cross-national empirical research about these issues has focused largely on established liberal democracies, such as Nordic states, characterised by freedom of the press and media pluralism, as well as affluent post-industrial European societies with highly educated populations. This study theorizes that the accuracy of any public judgments of the trustworthiness of government procedures are likely to be mediated by the information environment in open and closed societies, as well as by the cognitive skills of citizens. About Speaker: Professor Pippa Norris is a comparative political scientist who has taught at Harvard for three decades. She is the Paul F McGuire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at the John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and Founding Director of the Electoral Integrity Project, Director of the Global Party Survey, Co-Director of the TrustGov Project and on the Executive of the World Values Survey. Her research compares public opinion and elections, political institutions and cultures, gender politics, and political communications in many countries worldwide. She is ranked the 2nd most cited political scientist worldwide, according to Google scholar. Major career honors include, amongst others, the Skytte prize, IPSA’s Karl Deutsch award, fellowship of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, APSA’s Charles Merriam award and the Samuel Eldersfeld lifetime achievement award, and the PSA’s Sir Isaiah Berlin award. Look forward to seeing you all at the event!

Call for Submissions // PDC 2022 Workshop // Creative Entrances to Co-Design: Exploring Collaboration through Fiction, Fairy Tales, and Games
by Sarah Rüller 30 May '22

30 May '22

Apologies for cross-posting Please forward this e-mail to potentially interested researchers, practitioners, activists, and designers (all career stages) Creative Entrances to Co-Design: Exploring Collaboration through Fiction, Fairy Tales, and Games Hybrid Workshop at the Participatory Design Conference (PDC) 2022 (https://pdc2022.org/) Tuesday, August 30th, 2022, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) & Online (hybrid) Application deadline: June 12th, 2022, 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth) https://creative-co.design/ Design fiction, storytelling, and games provide creative entrances to co-design activities with different groups. These have emerged from a need to develop joint perspectives, a joint language and technological imagination as prerequisites for participatory approaches and co-design. With our workshop, we seek to create a practice-oriented and reflective space exploring answers to questions like the following ones: What potential does fiction, fairy tales and games carry regarding creative and low-threshold entrances to co design? How do we genuinely co-design without enforcing our, often external, perception on people’s realities and needs? How does creativity in co-design look like thinking from the very beginning, before setting up the research design? We invite researchers, practitioners, activists, and designers (all career stages) who are working in settings that are socially and culturally diverse, who bring together people of a broad age range and who have tried creative approaches in their co-design activities. Working in groups to co-design and further develop creative entrances, this workshop will explore and reflect upon the potential of design fiction, storytelling, and games to foster creativity in co-design activities and to support (technological) imagination. As a result, we plan to co-host together with the participants a digital exhibition with the results of the workshop. We welcome and appreciate submissions in various formats: · traditional workshop papers, short essays, reflections, or motivational letters (up to 5 pages, excl. references. We recommend using the template provided by PDC. https://pdc2022.org/submission-formatting/) · video and audio recordings (max. 5 minutes) about experiences from previous co-design activities and overall research designs · reflections, including visual and audio material (if existent) from previous and/or current co-design activities. We further encourage applications to submit existing creations, such as games, co-written tales, and fictions, that can be subject to further development and discussion in the working group activities. All submissions should come with a short bio of the applicant(s). For better planning, we ask the applications for an indication of preferred participation format (online or on-site). Submissions or questions can be sent to submission(a)creative-co.design. Organizers: · Sarah Rüller, Konstantin Aal, Anne Weibert, Belén Giménez (University of Siegen, Germany) · Michael Muller (IBM Research) · Mark Blythe (Northumbria University, UK) · Yasmin B. Kafai (University of Pennsylvania, USA) Check out our workshop website (https://creative-co.design/) to find more information about the formats and the application process. Please share the event widely among your networks and reach out to us if you have further questions. _________________ Sarah Rüller M.Sc.
