JOB: Policy Director at Data & Society Research Institute
by Joly MacFie 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

[ICYMI! Remote. Note the application deadline approaches rapidly] https://boards.greenhouse.io/datasocietyresearchinstitute/jobs/6238528002 *JOB DESCRIPTION* *Policy Director* July 2022 The Policy Director at Data & Society leads our policy engagement program. We use sociotechnical research to advance equity and justice within technology policy and governance spaces. *Summary* *Data & Society is an independent nonprofit research organization, studying the social implications of data-centric technologies and automation. We recognize that the same innovative technologies that may benefit society can also be abused to invade privacy, provide new tools of discrimination, foreclose opportunity and harm individuals and communities. Through original research and inclusive engagement, we work to ensure that empirical evidence and respect for human dignity guide how technology is developed and governed.* *About the Policy Director* *The Policy Director works both internally to coordinate policy engagement opportunities across our research programs, and externally to represent and position our research and researchers to engage with multiple policy-focused communities on emerging technology and society issues. This is a unique role that exists at the intersection of technology, policy, scholarship, and equity, and deeply understands the trade-offs and implications of policy and tech product directions for a range of stakeholders, with a particular focus on addressing the harms data-centric technologies pose to historically vulnerable and marginalized communities.* You have a strong record of advancing racial and economic justice in your work. You’ve worked alongside or within the ecosystem of technology and policy actors—civil society coalitions, policymakers, and tech industry actors—in the United States and/or Europe, and are positioned to increase the visibility and impact of the Data & Society network’s research within those communities. You have bridged scholarship and policy communities in the past, and are comfortable with limitations on direct advocacy that Data & Society, as a 501c3 and research institute, adheres to while still contributing to substantive policy design based on research findings. You’re familiar with the different methods and approaches being developed to govern data-centric systems and the ways in which the emerging evidence base from Data & Society and beyond can inform this. You have experience in balancing opportunistic and proactive opportunities for policy engagement as they emerge. Finally, you are comfortable coordinating and collaborating with colleagues across reporting structures and within project teams to achieve organizational goals. *Qualifications* - Deep understanding of the networks and coalitions in Data & Society’s spheres of research, and the methods for achieving their policy and advocacy goals; - 7–10 years of experience in policy or governance environments; - JD, Masters in Public Policy or Administration or policy / legal experience within government, civil society or tech industry; - Familiarity with historical and current scholarship on privacy, surveillance, and the social and political implications of algorithmic decision-making systems, especially as it affects minoritized communities; - Working knowledge of some of the debates around key policy issues and statutes in the United States and Europe relating to data governance, such as net neutrality, algorithmic accountability, use of facial recognition by government, Section 230, the CCPA, the GDPR, HIPAA, and emerging national/global AI policies; expertise in one or more of these areas; - Strong written communication skills; public speaking skills a plus. The Policy Director reports to the Executive Director and works collaboratively with teams across the organization. *Practical Considerations* 1. This is currently a full-time, remote position in the *Policy Engagement *department. 2. Data & Society is based out of New York City, and will for the foreseeable future operate as a remote-first organization. 3. While Data & Society is a remote-first organization, there may be some opportunities for travel within the United States to team meetings and other in-person events. Travel is not required, but all employees who elect to travel will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination. 4. You will be offered a negotiable salary between *$100-120K*, plus a generous benefits package including paid time off, paid federal holidays, health, dental, and vision insurance, and access to a range of opt-in products and services including additional insurance and 401k management. 5. You must be eligible to work in the United States; we are unable to sponsor visas. *To apply, please submit the following items: * 1. A cover letter explaining your interest in this role and why you would be the ideal candidate for this position. 2. Your resume/CV. 3. A sample of your written work related to the above topics -- examples include a blog post, legal briefs, academic articles, etc. If you advance to a later round, we will ask you to participate in a writing exercise and request the names, affiliations, and contact information for three professional references. *The work and well-being of Data & Society is strengthened by the diversity of our network and our differences in background, culture, experience, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and much more. We welcome applications from BIPOC, women, the LGBTQIA community, and persons with disabilities. * *Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis through August 1, 2022. Please feel free to contact us at jobs(a)datasociety.net <jobs(a)datasociety.net> should you have any questions about the position. Questions about the opportunity or process will not reflect negatively on your application.* -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

Announcing a new book series that is now open for submissions
by Jordan Frith 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Hi all, I’m emailing to announce that we’re launching a new book series on Parlor Press that might be of interest to some of you. The series is called “The X-Series,” <https://parlorpress.com/pages/x-series> and we picked an intentionally open-ended series name because we’re open to a wide range of ideas from authors. I think a bunch of people on this listserv could be great fits. We’re also trying to do something a bit non-traditional with our new book series. The series will publish shorter, peer-reviewed books (~35k words) that are deep dives into a specific topic: it could be an oft-ignored technology, a single word, a concept, a moment in history, or whatever else you think of. I'm open to ideas. And most importantly, we want X-Series books to be *fun*. We want books that bridge the gap between academic and public writing and tell us something new about things we take for granted. Anyways, we just launched and hope to get some inquiries from some of you. Also, for a bit of background on Parlor Press…Parlor is a growing independent academic publisher that had a book longlisted for a National Book Award last year. The Press was created in 2002 and has published more than 500 authors (~350 books total), including multiple high impact academic books. If you want more info, I can send you a Parlor Press fact sheet. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. I am truly open to a wide range of ideas that fit the series, so if you have that shorter book you’ve always wanted to write, maybe this is your chance. Finally, feel free to share widely and send other people our way if they might be interested. Thanks so much, -- Jordan Frith, Ph.D. Pearce Professor of Professional Communication Clemson University Pronouns: He/Him Book review editor of the *Journal of Business & Technical Communication* Editor-in-Chief, *Communication Design Quarterly* Editor, *The X-Series <https://parlorpress.com/pages/x-series>*, Parlor Press My Google Scholar Profile <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=OtvmSE0AAAAJ&hl=en> My personal website <https://jordanfrith.com/>

CfP:
by Charles M. Ess 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Dear AoIRists, on behalf of my co-editors, Elisabetta Locatelli and aline shakti franzke, I am very pleased to call your attention to the following CfP (and with the usual apologies for the usual cross-postings) for a special issue of the journal Comunicazioni Sociali, to be published in September, 2023. (For more information on the Journal, please see below.) Internet Research Ethics in the Platform Society: Theoretical Reflections, Research Experiences, and Open Questions Edited by Charles M. Ess, aline franzke shakti, Elisabetta Locatelli Since the late 1990s, Internet Research Ethics (IRE) has emerged as a burgeoning field, fueled by an ever-growing variety of ethical challenges and concerns (Zimmer and Buchanan, 2016). To name but a few, questions include how to minimize risks for researchers and research subjects, and issues surrounding informed consent and intersecting interests between corporations and academic approaches: both emphasize the importance of the integrity of researcher but also add challenges to Ethics Committees, who aim to confirm what research can or cannot be conducted (franzke et al., 2020). In recent years, the societal and technological landscape has changed and expanded still again: platforms such as social media and apps aggregate a significant number of users, generating new social, cultural, and media practices to study. Research into these realms is stimulating and challenging but further implies methodological and ethical issues surrounding both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Both ethnographies and big data approaches in particular have different but compelling ethical issues to consider (Zimmer, Kinder-Kurlanda, 2017; Zook et al, 2017). Actually, there is the need to study and comprehend users' behaviors and their socio-cultural implications but users need to be more aware of what may happen to the data they posted and also about the research they are involved into. Moreover, the complex nature of AI technology and platform logics has evoked thunderous academic debates surrounding buzzwords such as fake news, and the importance of taking up misinformation, hate speech and ethical reflection in social media research is more compelling than ever before. In addition to these changes, the role and importance of internet research ethics has grown for over a decade and the approach of having it incorporated by design into the research projects is increasingly more common (Ibiricu, Van Der Made, 2020). For example, when participating in public grants and fundings such as Horizon Europe, the evaluation of the ethics of research is an aspect required from the very beginning also for social sciences and humanities. This entails a specific attention to privacy and developing a new attitude and best practices also for these disciplines, with consequences for how research projects are developed and carried out, including ethics assessments from its very beginning through its dissemination. Among the new challenges there is also the need of making research data open, requiring a further level of reflection. Considering this landscape, the present issue of Comunicazioni Sociali. Journal of Media, Performing Arts and Cultural Studies focuses on the new challenges of the ethics of social media and internet research through eliciting papers addressing theoretical reflections and research projects across the world especially related to social sciences, media studies, performing arts, and cultural studies. This topic is consistent with the tradition of the journal and its attention to the research on media and its context. The aim is to make a collection of research experiences as well as theoretical reflections that can serve as useful examples and references for the academic community. The call for papers invites submission of abstracts regarding the following topics of internet and social media research ethics; abstracts on other topics related to internet research ethics are also welcome: ● Informed consent; ● Possible harms to research subjects (especially when dealing with vulnerable subjects such as children, immigrants and people at the margins, and sensitive issues, such as gender and health); ● Potential harms vis-a-vis the safety and integrity of the researcher; ● Privacy and data protection with small data (e.g., ethnographies, interviews) and big data; ● The role of the research participants in the research project (e.g., considering them as active subjects, as in research with children or in research-action projects); ● Internet Research Ethics across countries (e.g., comparative studies, the role(s) of Ethics Review Boards, etc.); ● Ethics by design and the design of the research process; ● Dissemination of the research and open data. Submission details Please send your abstract and a 150 words biographical note by September 16, 2022 to: <redazione.cs(a)unicatt.it> <elisabetta.locatelli(a)unicatt.it> <aline.franzke(a)gmail.com> <c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no> Abstracts should be between 300 to 400 words of length (in English). All submissions should include: 5 keywords, name of author(s), institutional affiliation, contact details and a short bio for each author. Authors will be notified of proposal acceptance/rejection by September 30, 2022. If the proposal is accepted, the author(s) will be asked to submit the full article, in English, by February 17, 2023. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Articles must not exceed 5’000/6’000-words (including references) For editorial guidelines, please refer to the section “Guide for the authors” on the Comunicazioni sociali website http://comunicazionisociali.vitaepensiero.com Contributions will be submitted to a double-blind peer review process. The issue number 2.2023 of Comunicazioni Sociali will be published in September, 2023. “Comunicazioni Sociali” is indexed in Scopus and it is an A-class rated journal by ANVUR in: Cinema, photography and television (L-ART/06), Performing arts (L-ART/05), and Sociology of culture and communication (SPS/08).

CfP Youth migration, media and transnational education
by Dedecek Gertz, Helena 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Special issue with the Journal of Childhood and Adolescence Research **Youth migration, media and transnational education** Digital media plays a relevant role in transnational migration movements. Its uses have been analysed from different approaches, from managing family and keeping social relations from a distance (Madianou & Miller, 2012), to information seeking in the context of migrants fleeing war and conflict (Dekker et al., 2018) and political participation (Gil de Zúñiga et al., 2009). Apart from notable exceptions (Jayadeva, 2019), still little is known about the uses of media to fulfil transnational educational projects. But even beyond that, media use in migratory contexts remains a relevant topic of research. The communicative possibilities brought by "deep mediatisation" (Hepp, 2020) increase the pace and shape of information exchange. On this ground, new circumstances emerge. Social networking sites (SNS) are central, as they allow for quick and comparatively cheap exchanges. Furthermore, they provide a pool of available connections that can be activated through online interactions. In this way, they serve as a source of latent ties (Haythornthwaite, 2002) even for people who would not be otherwise involved in transnational social networks. SNS create other connection opportunities in migratory social networks, namely those established among unknown SNS users solely for information exchange purposes. Young people are particularly active on SNS and they are more likely to follow migratory projects associated with educational opportunities. This special issue contributes to investigating the use of media in such contexts from different perspectives. We are particularly interested in analyses that account for social inequalities and would provide insights into questions such as: What are the different uses of media among children and young people from different class backgrounds seeking educational opportunities abroad? What are the roles of race and gender in that intersection? What are the entanglements of digital labour and educational attainment among young migrants? How do educational institutions profit from or are affected by the information exchange and informal counselling on SNS among transnational mobile children and young people? Possible topics can be related to - but not limited to: * Young migrants' uses of media for educational purposes * Young migrants' digital media literacy in transnational contexts * Online experiences with racism and discrimination in contexts of formal education/educational institutions * Migrant students' platform / digital labour * Connections of migrant student's digital labour and educational institutions * Inequalities in access to digital gadgets/platforms in contexts of formal education **Submission procedure** Please, submit your proposal (200-400 words) until October 17 with the subject line "Proposal: Youth migration, media and transnational education" to helena.dedecek.gertz(a)uni-hamburg.de. **Timetable** Proposals due: 17.10.22 Notification on decision to pursue manuscript: 24.10.22 Submission of full manuscripts due: 15.1.23 Manuscripts returned after peer review: 18.8.23 Revised manuscripts due: 20.6.24 Final editorial decisions: 10.7.24 Edited collection submitted to publisher: 15.7.24 Publication: 30.9.24 **References** Dekker, R., Engbersen, G., Klaver, J., & Vonk, H.

3 Postdoc vacancies @ Centre for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen
by J.C. Vieira Magalhaes 23 Jul '22

23 Jul '22

The Centre for Media and Journalism Studies at the University of Groningen offers three postdoc positions (full-time, for 2 years) in: 1. Digital platforms, Algorithms and Informed Citizenship 2. Platforms, Cultural Consumption and Taste Formation 3. Media and Digital In- and Exclusion Applicants are invited to propose a specific project within the scope of these themes. You can find more information on these positions below and via: https://www.rug.nl/let/sectorplan <https://www.rug.nl/let/sectorplan> Deadline for applications is: August, 28. Starting date: Oct. 1st (possibly Nov. 1st) The appointment includes 80% research and 20% teaching These positions are part of a broader hire of 14 postdocs within the Humanities in the context of the Dutch sectorplan for Humanities and Social Sciences. For more info on the other 11 positions: https://www.rug.nl/let/sectorplan <https://www.rug.nl/let/sectorplan> For more information, feel free to contact Professor Marcel Broersma: m.j.broersma(a)rug.nl <mailto:m.j.broersma@rug.nl> ___________________________ 1. Digital platforms, Algorithms and Informed Citizenship (within the theme: Humane AI) The development of algorithmically structured (social) media platforms changes how citizens are informed, how political and cultural identities are shaped discursively, and what levels of digital literacy citizens need in order to meaningfully participate in society. This project explores the social, cultural and political implications of the interaction between humans, AI, data and digital platforms. 2. Platforms, Cultural Consumption and Taste Formation (within the theme: Cultural Heritage and Identity – Creative industries, Media and Popular Culture) As cultural consumption increasingly occurs through online platforms that employ automated recommendation systems, there is an urgent need to understand how contemporary taste affinities and boundaries are cultivated and drawn through practices and styles of consumption. This project will examine taste formation through platforms (Tiktok, YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, etc.) and the implications for cultural identities, social cohesion and political polarization. 3. Media and Digital In- and Exclusion (within the theme: Communication, information and social inequalities in a digital world). Digitalisation and the ubiquity of online platforms offer opportunities for having better access to public services, being better informed and more participation in public debate and decision making processes. At the same time, there are major risks of digital exclusion; millions of citizens are not digitally literate enough to fully participate in a digital society. Projects within this theme could study media and digital in- and exclusion in different domains of everyday life from the perspectives of citizens, but could also focus on the role of institutions, or analyse (social) media texts. -- João C.
