Reminder: ICA Pre-Conference on Debating Creator Culture — Call for Submissions (Jan 31)
by Tom Divon 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Dear AoIR Community, This is a reminder about our thrilling ICA25 Preconference, "*Debating Creator Culture*," hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder, College of Media, Communication, and Information, on June 11, 2025. *The submission deadline is January 31, 2025.* *What’s the debate all about?* Building on recent research into creators, influencers, and digital labor and visibility, we wish to collectively explore whether “creator studies” constitutes a new subfield, an extension of communication studies, or something else entirely. Revisiting foundational debates around disciplines and field-setting, we ask (borrowing from Baym, 2005): What is the “right term” for this scholarly community and its work? Is it an academic “field” or “discipline”? To what extent does “creator studies” demand a unique scholarly space strengthened by interdisciplinary epistemologies and methods, especially from communication and media studies? *We particularly welcome papers or panels that explore and debate topics such as:* *#* Continuities and departures from media and communication history *#* Studies that bring outside or novel epistemologies, theories, and frameworks into dialogue with existing communication scholarship *#* New approaches, methods, or questions deemed central to creator studies *#* Questions about the value of content-related terms, such as “format,” “genre,” and “engagement” *#* The structural and material conditions of creator industries *#* The global formations and dynamics of creator industries, particularly in peripheral markets and the Global South, and in response to the conditions posed by platform nationalism *For more details, including the full CFP, schedule, and submission instructions, visit:* https://www.ccsn.site/ica *Stay connected with us!* Subscribe to the *CCSN newsletter*: https://www.ccsn.site/ Follow us on* Instagram*: https://www.instagram.com/weareccsn/ Join us on* Bluesky*: https://bsky.app/profile/weareccsn.bsky.social For any further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out also via email - contentcreatorscholarsnetwork(a)gmail.com We’re looking forward to seeing your submissions and engaging in meaningful conversations!

AOIR Discord?
by Roo S 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Hello! I'm wondering what AoIR members think of building a Discord? I realize that there are several platforms out there, and ironically we all are probably "too close" to some of the failings and/or opportunities of community, communication and digital space, but I would imagine that this group would probably hold a strong consensus that group email threads and listservs is an outdated way to share, organize, search for, and apply information. I'd love to connect more deeply with anyone who's interested. Here's a brief/simple survey to help me follow up and/or learn from the group: https://forms.gle/zbxmg5433r7LctKf8 Last but not least, here's an interesting article about the applications of Discord for better digital community practice: https://www.newkinco.com/projects/anitya-metaverse-platform Looking forward to connecting!

New article: Can academic freedom survive Donald Trump’s plans for thought control?
by Dr. Emma Briant 17 Dec '24

17 Dec '24

Dear Colleagues, What does Trump have planned for education? An unprecedented attack on knowledge and speech with chilling implications for academic freedom, not just in the US but globally. In my new article for Index on Censorship <https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2024/12/academic-freedom-survive-donald-t…>, I discuss what I see as the role of surveillant AI-driven education in Trump's plans to remove power from universities and punish so-called “woke” ideology. I propose an urgent response to the threat these plans pose for the United States - and the rest of the world. I hope you find it an insightful read, we need to fight back. You can also listen to me discuss this issue with Kate Carruthers in the latest data revolution podcast <https://datarevolution.tech/2024/12/emma-briant/> and I'll be speaking with Andrea Chalupa about this and my new book The Routledge Handbook of the Influence Industry <https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Handbook-of-the-Influence-Industry/Bria…> (co-edited with Vian Bakir) on the Gaslit Nation podcast <https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gaslit-nation/id1400926647> on 30 December.

Post-Doctoral researcher opportunity at Media, Inequality & Change Center (AI policy)
by Smith, Briar R. 17 Dec '24

17 Dec '24

Holiday greetings! The Media, Inequality & Change Center occupies the intersection of technology, policy, and social justice. It is committed to studying the political economy of social problems, media, and democracy, while engaging local activist projects, and drawing connections with national and international social movements. Currently, The MIC Center is advancing research on the role that Big Tech plays in shaping the AI governance agenda and how influence is sought with policy makers, the government, media and civil society in a way that enables and frames the debate to further corporate interests. Through a multi-method, interdisciplinary and transnational comparative study, this project will explore how AI strategies are shaped and what this means for democracy, governance and trust. Assessing corporate influence through a combination of computational and qualitative methods across policy, government, media and civil society within the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada, the research will uncover the role that corporations play in animating AI's growth in key established democracies. Moreover, by showing alternative framings and engaging with a range of stakeholders to discuss ongoing findings, the project will explore avenues for intervention to foster democracy, governance and trust. We are recruiting a post-doctoral researcher to join us in 2025<https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/media-inequality-and-change-cent…> and work across the various research questions with which this project engages: 1. What are prominent corporate activities and discourses within policy, government, media and civil society relating to AI? 2. What are alternative discourses and strategies on AI advanced by other actors? 3. What do different discourses and strategies on AI mean for democracy, governance and trust? 4. What avenues for intervention can foster more democratic approaches to developing AI strategies in the public interest? In exploring these questions, the objectives of the project are to i) empirically assess the nature of challenges related to corporate activities on AI for democracy, governance and trust; ii) theoretically (re)conceptualize democracy, governance and trust in the context of AI; iii) identify existing and potential opportunities for enhancing democracy, governance and trust in relation to AI; and iv) engage with key stakeholders in the fields of policy, government, media and civil society to strengthen key democratic institutions in the advancement of AI. Essential criteria: * A PhD in the area of critical data/AI studies or related fields * Knowledge of key debates on 'Big Tech', AI and democracy * Familiarity and/or experience with using qualitative research methods * Experience with writing academic publications and publications geared towards a general audience/policymakers * Good communication skills and ability to work as part of a team of researchers Desirable criteria: * Experience with working in a research team * Experience with doing comparative research across national contexts * Experience with stakeholder engagement, including government, civil society and industry * Knowledge of AI-related debates in the areas of energy (e.g. data centers), journalism (e.g. copyright) and labor (e.g. automation). Main duties: * Carry out literature reviews at the intersection of corporate influences on AI strategy and democracy, governance and trust. * Carry out qualitative research, including discourse analysis and interviews, on the topic of corporate influences on AI strategy. Areas of research may include energy policy, journalism and labor. * Assist with administrative tasks, including organizing project workshops * Write research for publication * Collaboration with an international team of researchers * Communications with both internal and external networks to develop and advance stakeholder engagement with the project The full call, along with compensation and application information is here: https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/media-inequality-and-change-cent… Deadline: January 10, 2025 Briar Smith Associate Director Media, Inequality & Change Center (MIC) 215-520-0773 (m) 215-573-9218 (o) www.miccenter.org<http://www.miccenter.org>
