Three PhD Positions in AI, Digital Culture and Deep Learning
by Tobias Blanke 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Dear all. The new European Research Council-funded Advanced Grant ‘Deep Culture - Living with Difference in the Age of Deep Learning’ invites applications for three fully-funded PhD positions in Amsterdam. Collaborating with two PostDocs, the aim is to realise an ambitious interdisciplinary research agenda on deep learning and culture. Deep learning technologies like ChatGPT have generated a lot of excitement about our new relations with AI but have also provoked much public anxiety. The project coins ‘deep culture’ to describe the global cultural transformations brought about by deep learning, and how culture is key to deep learning. The project will first explore the relations between deep learning and historical-cultural concepts and practices. Secondly, it will work with deep-learning methods to address their limitations for critical analysis. Finally, it aims to foster public understanding of deep learning’s global relations to culture. We are looking for three talented, ambitious PhD candidates who can combine independent research with team collaboration. You will have the opportunity to explore exciting questions of contemporary digital culture and deep learning and contribute to shaping debates about our relations with AI technologies. For further details and a link to apply, please visit: https://vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Three-PhD-Positions-in-AI%2C-Digital-Cultu… All best, Tobias

now available for pre-order / Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook
by Lori Emerson 21 Nov '25

21 Nov '25

Dear all, At long last, my beloved book, Other Networks:A Radical Technology Sourcebook, is officially available from Anthology Editions for pre-order here<https://shop.mexicansummer.com/merch/495898-lori-emerson-other-networks-a-r…>! Sadly, despite publishing many beautifully designed art books, the publisher won’t be around for much longer which means there are only 1000 copies available of Other Networks. If you think you’d like a copy, consider pre-ordering as soon as you can manage it. With deep gratitude to my editor Mark Iosifescu<https://iosifescu.biz/>, book cover designer Robert Beatty<https://robertbeattyart.com/>, and interior book designer Ella Gold<https://ellagold.com/>, Other Networks catalogs 80+ networks that preceded or existed outside of the internet. It is also an educational project that comes out of my belief that we are all capable both of understanding networks from the past and of building alternative networks for the future; a love letter to experimental art and technology; and a liberatory guide for escaping the corporate present. The design brilliantly both recalls the long history of telecommunications networks (exemplified by late 19th century/early 20th century telegraph and telephone manuals) and rewrites that same history to now have a more global perspective and to include more women; Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; and artist experiments with/on these pre-internet networks. Below is the table of contents. I have also posted on my blog excerpts from or expanded versions of entries on microbroadcasting<https://loriemerson.net/2024/09/21/the-history-of-microbroadcasting-and-how…>, barbed wire fence phones<https://loriemerson.net/2024/08/31/a-brief-history-of-barbed-wire-fence-tel…>, and imaginary networks<https://loriemerson.net/2025/01/04/brief-notes-toward-activating-the-potent…>.

CfP gamevironments 2025 Research Day "Video Games and Our Futures"
by Zeiler, Xenia 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

With apologies for cross-posting ================================== **Video Games and Our Futures** Call for Applications for the gamevironments 2025 Research Day October 22nd 2025 Hybrid: University of Bremen, Germany / online ================================== The gamevironments Journal is hosting the 4th Annual Research Day (three previous workshops were hosted by the International Academy for Study of Gaming and Religion, IASGAR). Exclusively for early-stage researchers, graduate students, and doctoral students, the workshop welcomes research on all aspects of games and gaming, including media-centered as well as actor-centered approaches, perspectives of game developers and publishers, and viewpoints of gamers. The gamevironments Research Day 2025 offers a unique opportunity to engage in a critical exchange about practical methods and theoretical approaches for studying video games, gaming, and culture. It will provide a collaborative learning environment for scholars and allow graduate students, PhD students, and other early-stage researchers to discuss their work and receive feedback from renowned international scholars in the field. This year’s theme is “Video Games and Our Futures.” Currently in 21st Century society, we face a range of complex issues and wide-sweeping changes and challenges, ranging from radical political and economic shifts, to the implications of climate change and related environmental threats, migration, the impacts of wars, and the long legacies and effects of colonialism, gender inequities and other related power imbalances. These changes will also transform media environments (such as those for video games) and media practices (such as gaming). As mediums of support, reflection, and documentation, but also through their unique technical and interactive storytelling capabilities, these future and future-oriented games may engage and immerse players in dramatically different altered environments and storyworlds. How, then, may we consider, from production and distribution to characters, narratives, and aesthetics, the nature of these transformations and impacts? What visions of the future are depicted in existing games, how were these games made, and by whom? What social and political issues do they address and engage? How will our interactions with them support, deflect, or otherwise alter our modes of play? How might technical innovation alter what is now familiar to us? These are the questions that we ask you to engage with and to help us understand the potential futures of video gaming. Send a brief CV and a 500-word abstract on the theme that you’d like to present to this year’s co-organizers xenia.zeiler(a)helsinki.fi (University of Helsinki, Finland) and lissa.holloway-attaway(a)his.se (University of Skövde, Sweden). Participants will be chosen based on their abstracts. The selected participants will be requested to submit a detailed project description (approximately 2000 words), which will be presented and discussed during the workshop. Invited scholars and selected peers will provide feedback and comments on the participants' projects. ================================== Experts: Dom Ford, University of Bremen Gregory Grieve, University of North Carolina Greensboro Christopher Helland, Dalhousie University Lissa Holloway-Attaway, University of Skövde Zhange Ni, Virginia Tech Kerstin Radde-Antweiler, University of Bremen Christian Schwarzenegger, University of Bremen Karsten Wolf, University of Bremen Xenia Zeiler, University of Helsinki ================================== The best papers get the opportunity to get published as reports in the international peer-reviewed journal gamevironments. Further information will be provided at the workshop. The gamevironments Research Day 2025 will be held in a hybrid form – on site at the University of Bremen, Germany and online. It is a pre-workshop to ZeMKI’s 20th anniversary International Conference "20 Years into the Future: What is our vision of media, data, and society?” which will be held from October 23rd to October 24th 2025, at the University of Bremen. All workshop participants are welcome to also participate in the conference. There is no attendance fee for the gamevironments Research Day 2025. If participating on site boarding and lodging must be organized individually. ================================== Timeline June 30 Deadline for applications (CV and 500-word abstract) July 10 Decision of abstract acceptance August 31 Registration for the workshop September 30 Deadline for submission of full papers (approx. 2000 words) October 22 Gamevironments Research Day 2025 Xenia and Lissa -- Professor, South Asian Studies P.O.

CFP: ECSCW 2025 Workshop on Malicious Use of AI: A Value-Sensitive Approach for Stakeholder Consensus (Newcastle, July 1)
by Blasiak, Kevin Marc 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Apologies for cross-posting Dear colleagues, We are pleased to invite contributions to the ECSCW 2025 Pre-Conference Workshop: Shifting the Conversation on Malicious Use of AI: A Value-Sensitive Approach for Stakeholder Consensus Date: July 1, 2025 (half-day workshop) Location: Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Submission Deadline: May 26, 2025 (23:59 UTC+2) Workshop Overview: As AI technologies become deeply embedded in society, they drive both innovation and an alarming rise in malicious uses including disinformation, cyberattacks, surveillance, and online radicalization. These threats are not isolated technical challenges. They are sociotechnical problems rooted in the interplay of technology design, governance, collaborative work, and shifting regulatory systems. Malicious AI use often combines organized campaigns with distributed grassroots dynamics, making it difficult to address through technical solutions alone. This half day workshop will use a Value Sensitive Design (VSD) lens to reframe how we understand and respond to AI enabled threats. Participants will collaboratively explore ethical, organizational, and policy dimensions of AI governance. We aim to foster actionable strategies that consider not only the technological infrastructures enabling these risks but also the broader sociotechnical ecosystems and work practices that can mitigate them. The workshop will include expert panels featuring stakeholders from industry and government or policy sectors (names to be announced) and will foster rich interdisciplinary dialogue across a range of fields including, but not limited to, CSCW, information systems, cybersecurity, and trust and safety. Through collaborative activities, we seek to co develop pathways for ethical AI governance that are inclusive, practical, and grounded in real world experience. Participation is open to all interested researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders. Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to): Sociotechnical mechanisms enabling or mitigating malicious AI use AI threats in content moderation, trust & safety, OSINT, and cybersecurity Case studies on platform governance or regulatory adaptation VSD-informed approaches to ethical AI governance Empirical or theoretical explorations of AI-related harms Strategies for multi-stakeholder collaboration in high-risk environments Organizational adaptation to AI threats in public and private sectors Lessons learned from cross-sector governance successes and challenges Submission Details: Format: Short position paper (2–4 pages) or equivalent (white paper, case study, or theoretical piece). Submissions will be reviewed by the organizers for relevance, quality, and their potential to contribute to workshop discussions. Accepted position papers will be shared among participants ahead of the workshop. Submission Email: kevin.blasiak (at) tuwien.ac.at Deadline: May 26, 2025 (23:59 UTC+2) Notification of Acceptance: Early June, 2025 Selected participants will engage in panel discussions, breakout groups, and contribute to a co-authored post-workshop report. To ensure focused and productive dialogue, the workshop will be limited to 20 participants.

by Joly MacFie 31 May '25

31 May '25

*[Bien que beaucoup soient occupés cette semaine par le Forum Afrique de Dar es-Salaam, cet événement du 21 mai mérite d'être savouré en profondeur, car il regorge de réflexions judicieuses, tout comme de nombreux NRI. Notez qu'il inclut l'intégralité du flux de travail ISOC LIVE 2025, y compris le montage des sessions, la transcription, la traduction et la synthèse. Le débat d'actualité sur la désinformation en temps de guerre déborde sur la cérémonie de clôture.* *While many this week are busy this week with the Africa IGF in Dar Es Salaam, this event from May 21 should be savoured at length, as it contains a great deal wise consideration, as much as many full NRIs.
