CFP: wikihistories 2023: Wikipedia and its implications for memory (and forgetting)
by Heather Ford 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/ wikihistories 2023: Wikipedia and its implications for memory (and forgetting) Call for papers From its earliest beginnings shortly before 911,[1]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt1> Wikipedia has documented history as it happens. Revolutions,[2]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt2> terrorist attacks,[3]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt3> earthquakes,[4]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt4> fires and floods have been written about on the platform, often within minutes of the first recorded protests, attacks, and blazes. This practice of documentation, conducted by volunteers who are connected by shared interest rather than shared expertise, falls between the disciplines of digital journalism and history. What does Wikipedia’s coverage of events “that haven’t even stopped happening yet”[5]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt5> mean for history-making on the platform? Researchers have noted that recent events are covered more than early history[6]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt6>, and stories are more often presented from colonialist rather than local perspectives.[7]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt7> More recently, Wikipedia has been uncovered as a site of both conscious forgetting and the “frenzy of commemorations,”[8]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt8> a venue for nationalist propaganda projecting particular stories that favour particular ideologies and social groups. * How does Wikipedia construct history and collective memory? * Does Wikipedia enable the forging of a collective memory via consensus?[9]<https://wikihistories.net/2023-conference/#ftnt9> * How are some versions of the past pushed to the fringes? * What gets remembered and what gets forgotten? * How can we study history-making on the platform? In this first annual workshop of the wikihistories project, we will take stock of what we know and what we still need to know about Wikipedia as a history-making platform. We do this because Wikipedia’s representation of history matters. Its facts travel through knowledge ecosystems and rest as answers to questions provided by digital assistants, search engines and other AI-enhanced tools. Wikipedia’s claims to neutrality are more a hope than a promise, a guise that hides the dreams and ideologies of the individuals and groups that understand its power and are determined to master its form. We invite Wikipedia scholars and researchers to participate in a two-day symposium being held online on the 8th and 9th of June. The symposium will be held for about 4 hours at different times each day to accommodate a range of global timezones. Please send an abstract of 250-300 words to michael.falk(a)uts.edu.au<mailto:michael.falk@uts.edu.au> before March 17 (close of day anywhere in the world) responding to any of the above questions. We expect a mixture of both analytical and methodological contributions for the event which will be held annually for the 3 years of the wikihistories project. Confirmed Keynote Speakers This year’s symposium will begin with a keynote by Dr Simon Sleight<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/simon-sleight>, Reader in Urban History, Historical Youth Cultures and Australian History at King’s College, London. Dr Sleight is the co-editor of “History, Memory and Public Life: The Past in the Present” and will provide a rich background to our investigations of collective memory from the history discipline for an interdisciplinary audience.

Looking for measurement scales on surveillance creep, surveillance uncertainty, and right to be forgotten
by Ollier Malaterre, Ariane 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Greetings! Colleagues and I have facilitated focus groups on employee electronic surveillance in partnership with the unions in Canada. We are now preparing a large-scale survey and are struggling to find robust measurement scales for some interesting constructs: Surveillance creep/function creep (tool used for monitoring in addition to initial reason), surveillance uncertainty (people not sure about what is surveiled, when, who) and right to be forgotten/permanency of records. If you know of such scales, I'd be very grateful if you could share them. Thank you! Ariane Ollier-Malaterre, UQAM

The eScience conference has a long history of hosting well-attended workshops broadly related to eScience and co-located with the main conference. These workshops share the goal of bringing together international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. Workshops play a crucial role in the conference by providing an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to have in-depth discussions of particular topics of interest to the community. Workshops may be focused on any eScience-related topic including, but not limited to interdisciplinary and translational research, continuum computing infrastructures, data science, sustainability, and education. eScience 2023 invites authors of workshop proposals to consider a diverse group of organizers, paper reviewers, and keynote speakers in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, and geographic areas. eScience 2023 accepts two types of workshop proposals: (1) workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings, and (2) workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings. Workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings The proceedings of workshops with peer-reviewed papers will be included in the eScience 2023 proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and made available online through the IEEE Digital Library, if the following criteria are followed: • The solicitation for papers must be open. • All the papers must be peer-reviewed by a qualified Program Committee. • The workshops Program Committee must have an appropriate size for the expected number of submissions. • The workshop proceedings must have at least 4 papers at a length of at least 6 pages and no longer than 10 pages (including figure, tables, and citations) in the IEEE conference format. • For each paper selected for publication, at least one of the authors must be registered to eScience 2023 to present the paper in person. Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a Program Committee and a paper submission system, collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying authors of acceptance or rejection in due time, ensuring a transparent and fair selection process, organizing selected papers into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals showing clear focus and objectives in areas of emerging or developing interest will be prioritized. Workshop proposals should be submitted via email to workshops(a)escience-conference.org and not exceed 5 pages in length. Proposals should include the following information: • Workshop name and acronym. • Workshop description, including its focus and goals (max. 500 words). • Names and affiliations of the organizers and tentative composition of the committee (we invite the authors of the proposal to consider a diverse group of organizers and committee members in terms of e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, geographic areas, etc.). • Expected number of submissions/accepted papers. • Prior history of this workshop, if any. Workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings Workshop organizers are responsible for inviting the speakers, establishing a program in due time, organizing the selected talks into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals gathering experts in areas of emerging or developing interest will be prioritized. Each speaker must be registered to eScience 2023 to present in a session. Workshop proposals should be submitted via email to workshops(a)escience-conference.org and not exceed 5 pages in length. Proposals for workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks only should include the following information: • Workshop name and acronym • Workshop description (including its focus and goals) (max. 500 words) • Names and affiliations of the organizers • Expected number of talks and their length • Tentative list of speakers and talk titles • Prior history of this workshop, if any KEY DATES • Workshop Submissions due: Friday, February 24, 2023 (AoE) • Workshop Acceptance Notification: Friday, March 10, 2023 • All Camera-ready Submissions due: Friday, July 21, 2023 • Final list of talks / agenda for no-proceedings workshops: Friday, July 21, 2023 CONTACT INFORMATION Workshop Chairs (contact: workshops(a)escience-conference.org) • Iraklis Klampanos, National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Greece • Fred Suter, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA ORGANISATION General Chair • George Angelos Papadopoulos, University of Cyprus, Cyprus Technical Program Co-Chairs • Rafael Ferreira da Silva, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA • Rosa Filgueira, University of St Andrews, UK Organisation Committee https://www.escience-conference.org/2023/organizers Steering Committee https://www.escience-conference.org/about/#steering-committee

CFP - Misogynist hate speech: portrayals, impacts and interventions
by Inês Amaral 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

*Call ex æquo: Misogynist hate speech: portrayals, impacts and interventions* https://apem-estudos.org Despite growing concerns about the increasing prevalence of misogynistic or sexist hate speech on different popular digital platforms (e.g. Ging and Siapera 2018, 2019; Vickery and Everbach 2018), research in this field is relatively recent and has mainly generated scattered evidence of its occurrence, its individual impacts and cultural and democratic consequences. We know that misogynistic hatred often intersects with other expressions of intolerance and other types of abuse perpetrated using technology, including harassment, stalking, threats and verbal offences, which disproportionately affect women (Duggan 2014; FRA 2014; EIGE 2017; Vogels 2021), but an understanding of how hatred is expressed and perceived is still limited. The attention directed at ways to combat hate online is even more recent. Feminist and gender studies suggest that sociocultural and technological domains are mutually constitutive and that technologically mediated practices, therefore, reproduce crystallised hierarchies and privileges but are also driving springs for new phenomena, such as post-feminism, antifeminism, men's movements or toxic masculinities. However, how prominent social actors operationalise this knowledge to think up appropriate responses is a question that, with some exceptions (e.g. Free et al. 2017; Henry, Flynn and Powell 2018), has yet to be studied. Scientific work in this field has also yet to provide consensual elements to support a widely accepted definition of the problem in the legal-political sphere. The term hate speech has been used interchangeably to refer to various types of harmful speech, including hate and its incitement, abusive and defamatory content based on characteristics of belonging to a specific social group, including extreme forms of discrimination and prejudice (Siegle 2020). Added to the complexity of creating a consensual definitional framework is the fragile balance in recognising different social groups as vulnerable to hatred. Unlike racist hate speech, which is always seen as contrary to European and international human rights standards, sexist hate speech is often not looked at from this perspective, a situation that some international instruments have sought to counteract (e.g. Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)1) by encouraging national States to ensure the same yardstick for dealing with racist and sexist speech, in particular concerning law enforcement intervention. This thematic issue, under the theme "Misogynist hate speech: portraits, impacts and interventions", aims to provide a space to deepen the knowledge of how the sexist hate speech that circulates in the digital environment is expressed, perceived and confronted. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary research conducted from feminist approaches focused on studies that produce empirical evidence referable to different international contexts. We also welcome studies that critically reflect on the theoretical, methodological and political challenges that hate speech poses to feminisms. We, therefore, call for contributions that preferably focus on the following themes: - Expressions of sexist hate on digital platforms; - Antifeminism, toxic masculinities and the normalisation of hate; - Extremist movements and misogynist hatred; - Hate speech and intersectionality; - Perceptions of victims/survivors, witnesses and stakeholders of sexist hatred; - Feminist activism and online misogyny; - Public policies to prevent and combat sexist hate online; - Other interventions targeting hate speech; - Contexts of sexist hate production; - Networked misogyny during and after the COVID-19 pandemic; - Hate speech and epistemological and methodological challenges. *IMPORTANT DATES*Submission deadline: May 29, 2023 Notification of acceptance decisions: July 30, 2023 Deadline for submission of the revised version by the authors: September 30, 2023 Publication date: December 2023 *SUBMISSIONS*: https://apem-estudos.org/ojs This list is not intended to be exhaustive.
