I know, exactly what you don't need to do at this crazy point in the semester. At AU, Profs. Aram Sinnreich, Joseph Graf and I have been working with Electronic Frontier Foundation and New Media Rights to design a survey about DMCA exemption language and its accessibility. Would you be interested in taking, sharing with your students and networks, including putting on social media the survey link <http://bit.ly/2nEfY8j>?

Non-software uses of GitHub
by Jim Herbsleb 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

I’m looking for GitHub repositories that are used for things other than software, especially where users are actively collaborating rather than just putting together static collections. So far, we have found a few books being written, some musical transcriptions being error-checked, and some policy documents maintained online. Does anyone know of any examples of these or other categories? Any pointers much appreciated. Happy to share what we find with anyone interested.

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but I would imagine that this group would probably hold a strong consensus that group email threads and listservs is an outdated way to share, organize, search for, and apply information.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!

Special Issue launch “Critical Technical Practice(s) in Digital Research” (10 July)
by van Geenen, Daniela 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Dear list members, It is our pleasure to invite you to the public launch of the special issue “Critical Technical Practice(s) in Digital Research” on Wednesday 10 July, 2 to 4 pm CEST with some short presentations and the possibility for Q&A and discussion. You can join us either online or in Siegen (Germany). For registration: https://forms.office.com/e/P5GKbi4Mnt In this special issue, we turn to ideas of and approaches to critical technical practices (CTPs) as entry points to doing critique and doing things critically in digitally mediated cultures and societies. We explore the pluralisation of ‘critical technical practice’, starting from its early formulations in the context of AI research and development (Agre, 1997a, 1997b) to the many ways in which it has resonated and been taken up by different communities of practice, and in diverse publications and projects. Agre defined CTP as ‘a technical practice for which critical reflection upon the practice is part of the practice itself’ (1997a: XII). Communities of practice who adopted and adapted CTP range from human–computer interaction (HCI) to media art and pedagogy, from science and technology studies (STS) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) to digital humanities, media studies and data studies. This special issue serves as an invitation to (re)consider what it means to use this notion drawing on a wider body of work, including beyond Agre. In this introduction, we review and discuss CTPs according to (1) Agre, (2) indexed research, and (3) contributors to this special issue. We conclude with some questions and considerations for those interested in working with this notion. The issue features contributions on machine learning, digital methods, art-based interventions, one-click network trouble, web page snapshotting, social media tool-making, sensory media, supercuts, climate futures and more from Tatjana Seitz & Sam Hind; Michael Dieter; Jean-Marie John-Mathews, Robin De Mourat, Donato Ricci & Maxime Crépel; Anders Koed Madsen; Winnie Soon & Pablo Velasco; Mathieu Jacomy & Anders Munk; Jessica Ogden, Edward Summers & Shawn Walker; Urszula Pawlicka-Deger; Simon Hirsbrunner, Michael Tebbe & Claudia Müller-Birn; Bernhard Rieder, Eric Borra & Stijn Peters; Carolin Gerlitz, Fernando van der Vlist & Jason Chao; Daniel Chavez Heras; and Sabine Niederer & Natalia Sanchez Querubin. The issue published in Convergence (Vol. 30, Issue 1) can be accessed here: https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/cona/30/1. Links to the articles, to our living literature collection (Zotero group), and information on the newly created dedicated mailing list can be found here: https://publicdatalab.org/projects/pluralising-critical-technical-practices/. Best wishes, Daniela van Geenen, Karin van Es & Jonathan Gray

CES Winter School Media and Sexual Violence - Coimbra, Portugal
by Inês Amaral 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

CES Winter School *Media and Sexual Violence* October 7 to 11, 2024 CES | Alta (Coimbra, Portugal) >> applications until 31 July *About* The ‘Media and Sexual Violence’ School is an opportunity to reflect on how we understand sexual violence from its representations in different media, from different disciplinary perspectives and from the work of community-based organisations. Its specific aim is to analyse how sexual violence is mediatised in contemporary society, and, in this sense, it will discuss practical and methodological research tools, as well as the ethical dilemmas and challenges that mark cultural productions and journalistic coverage. The School is being held as part of the UnCoveR project, the first comprehensive transdisciplinary study of sexual violence in Portuguese media landscapes. The project studies sexual violence as a phenomenon framed by notions of sexual normativity, masculinity, femininity, and power dynamics, which, in contexts such as Portugal, marked by sexism, social hierarchies and colonial legacies, interact with notions of race, ethnicity, religion, and nationality. The five-day School includes lectures, seminars, workshops, a cultural programme, a roundtable, a training session and focus groups. The speakers and trainers will be members of the project team and consultants, as well as journalists, activists, and professionals in the field of sexual violence. *Coordination: *Júlia Garraio, Sofia José Santos, Inês Amaral, Rita Basílio Simões, Rita Alcaire *Teaching staff: *Alexandre Sousa Carvalho (CES), Ana Rita Brito (AKTO), Ângelo Fernandes (Quebrar o Silêncio), Carla Cerqueira (CICANT, Universidade Lusófona), Daniela Sofia Neto (FEUC), Francisco Azevedo Mendes (Universidade do Minho), Gary Barker (Promundo/ CES), Inês Amaral (FLUC/CES), Isabel Ventura (CEMRI), Karen Boyle (University of Strathclyde), Joana Amaral Cardoso (Público), Júlia Garraio (CES), Maria João Faustino (CES), Marta Araújo (CES), Paula Cosme Pinto, Ricardo Higuera Mellado (Men Talks), Rita Alcaire (CES), Rita Almeida Carvalho (ICS), Rita Basílio Simões (FLUC/CES), Rita Santos (CES), Sérgio Pinto (Universidade Católica Portuguesa), Sílvia Roque (Universidade de Évora, CES), Sofia José Santos (FEUC/CES), Tatiana Moura (CES). *Target audience: *researchers and students in the areas of Communication Studies, Journalism, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies and other areas that intersect with the School's themes; activists in the struggle against sexual and gender-based violence; journalists and professionals in the areas of communication; cultural producers, managers, and organisers; the general public interested in these themes. *Working language: *Portuguese (and Keynote 1 in English) *Important dates:* Deadline for applications: 31 July 2024 Announcement of application results: 3 September 2024 Formalisation and payment of registration: until 15 September 2024 More information: https://ces.uc.pt/summerwinterschools/?lang=2&id=45184 Email: uncover(a)ces.uc.pt -- Inês Amaral Professora Associada | Associate Professor Universidade de Coimbra • Faculdade de Letras | University of Coimbra • Faculty of Arts and Humanities Largo da Porta Férrea | 3004-530 • Coimbra • Portugal Tel. | Phone: +351 239 410 090 E-mail: ines.amaral(a)uc.pt www.uc.pt | www.uc.pt/fluc -- Inês Amaral Professora Associada | Associate Professor Universidade de Coimbra • Faculdade de Letras | University of Coimbra • Faculty of Arts and Humanities Largo da Porta Férrea | 3004-530 • Coimbra • Portugal Tel. | Phone: +351 239 410 090 E-mail: ines.amaral(a)uc.pt www.uc.pt | www.uc.pt/fluc
