Three postdoc positions open
by Rachel Humphris 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, I am delighted to share the news that we have opened three postdoc research positions within the framework of the ERC Starting Grant project DIGIWEB - The effects of artificial intelligence on migrants' access to welfare. Two posts are for ethnographers / social scientists (one conducting fieldwork in the Netherlands and the other in Sweden). One post is for a data scientist / critical STS researcher. DIGIWEB is a 5-year interdisciplinary project examining how artificial intelligence (specifically predictive analytics) is transforming the relationship between welfare systems and migration governance. As governments increasingly use AI to make decisions about welfare eligibility and fraud detection, these technologies are reshaping how migrants access social rights and services and may create new forms of 'digital borders' within welfare states. The project combines data science and social science approaches to investigate how welfare algorithms function, how they are implemented by street-level bureaucrats such as social workers, and how they impact migrants' experiences of welfare systems. The research involves comparative work across the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The posts will be based in the research team of Prof Rachel Humphris (PI) within the School for Society and Environment at Queen Mary University of London. The data scientist will have a joint appointment with the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering with Dr Dimitrios Kollias. Full job descriptions and application instructions can be found here: Postdoc 1 (fieldwork in the Netherlands) Deadline: 6/4 https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DQR499/postdoctoral-research-associate Postdoc 2: (fieldwork in Sweden) Deadline: 30/4 https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DQV774/postdoctoral-research-associate Postdoc 3: (data scientist) Deadline: 20/4 https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DQV765/postdoctoral-research-associate I would be grateful if you could help disseminate this announcement within your networks and among potential candidates. I am open to flexible working arrangements and can discuss part-time or full-time work around caring or other commitments. The starting date is flexible but can begin no earlier than October 2026 and no later than January 2027.

Reminder: CCSN book event - Global South Creator Cultures, 30th March
by Zoe Glatt 19 Mar '26

19 Mar '26

Hello! A reminder about our event coming up at the end of this month: We are thrilled to invite you to the first Content Creator Scholars Network (CCSN) event for 2026, a roundtable discussion about the new book Global South Creator Cultures (Routledge, 2026). We'll be joined by editors Tugce Bidav and Smith Mehta, as well as several of the contributing authors, to talk about creators cultures and economies around the world. When: Monday 30th March, 8am EST/1pm BST/11pm AEDT Where: on zoom Book a (free) ticket HERE: https://tinyurl.com/4mun5a73 ABOUT THE BOOK Global South Creator Cultures situates creator labour within the geographic specificities of nation-states and examines the working conditions of social media creators and the geographical challenges of their work, offering a four-part conceptual framework for studying creator cultures. Rather than placing creator cultures in the Global South against those in the Global North to produce a series of binaries, it prioritises expanding our frames of reference for studying creator labour. It does so by examining creator cultures in India, Turkey, Brazil, Chile, Pakistan, Nigeria, Hong Kong, and China through approaches from media, communication, and cultural studies, as well as internet, platform, and creator studies. Rich with grounded subjective experiences of Global South creators, this collection is essential reading for students and academics of media, communication, and cultural studies, and appeals to anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between nation-states, social media platforms, and creators. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

4S Open Panel: Reworking TechnoPower: Everyday Digital Practices in Marginalized Worlds
by Nemer, David (dn6nn) 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Hello everyone, Ashleigh Wade and I are organizing the following 4S open panel and would like to invite you to submit your work. Abstracts (250 words) are due by April 30. For submissions and additional details, please visit: https://www.4sonline.org/accepted_open_panels_toronto.php 234 Reworking TechnoPower: Everyday Digital Practices in Marginalized Worlds This open panel explores how marginalized communities creatively negotiate and contest technoscientific power in everyday digital life. Across distinct geopolitical contexts, this open panel aims to reveal how racialized and gendered subjects confront platforms structured by extractive capitalism, surveillance, and harassment; while simultaneously inventing tactical forms of survival, self-representation, and political participation. The panel foregrounds everyday practices, such as gender masking, women-only online groups, vernacular archives, and smartphone-based documentation, as sites where technoscience is reworked from below. These practices illuminate how hypervisibility and erasure operate together under contemporary regimes of datafication and platform governance, and how users convert mundane tools into infrastructures of care, pedagogy, and counter-public formation. Contributing to STS debates on TechnoPower, the panel reframes technoscientific capitalism not only as a system dominated by wealthy elites and platform monopolies, but also as a terrain of ongoing struggle in which alternative futures are continually prototyped by those most exposed to harm. The papers examine grassroots digital tactics, community infrastructures, feminist and decolonial reappropriations of technology, and methodological innovations for studying technoscience from marginalized standpoints. By centering everyday, mundane acts of digital world-making, this panel advances STS commitments to justice-oriented scholarship and seeks to accelerate interventions in public and policy debates about whose knowledge, labor, and lives shape technoscientific futures. -- David Nemer, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies Faculty Affiliate, Department of Anthropology Director, Latin American Studies Program University of Virginia Faculty Associate, Berkman Klein Center Harvard University http://dnemer.com http://favela-digital.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__favela-2Ddigital.com_&d…> Books: Technology of the Oppressed (MIT Press, 2022), winner of the 2024 Sally Hacker Prize and 2022 Marcel Roche Award.

Many, Many Machine Agencies: Call for Participation in 4S Open Panel and Edited Book
by Fenwick Mckelvey 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

I am re-sharing a call for research-creation works critical engaging with AI (because I had the wrong link). The goal is an edited book and a 4S online workshop. We're looking for applications to the book, and, if interested, to the 4S open panel. Please contact me if you have any questions. ++++ Many, Many Machine Agencies: Call for Participation in 4S Open Panel and Edited Book Where is the artificial intelligence? With AI included in every job talk, abstract commentary, or refrigerator, our edited collection, Many, Many Machine Agencies, challenges contributors to present encounters with many kinds of artificial intelligences in a more curious fashion than the hyped search for the artificial intelligence so far has been able to amass. The book theoretically eschews the instrumentalizing language of artificial intelligence in favour of an open-ended call for more experiential understanding that advances a posthumanistic and materialist method of critical cultural AI through experience design, critical making, and research-creation. We seek contributors for this unusual, edited collection of machine agencies, asking for recipes, instructions, or games that center the problem of agency and interaction and the importance of new kinds of encounters with machines. Constructed, found, or haphazard encounters define our approach rather than any presumed intelligence, utility, or efficacy. This collection brings together agencies that must be worked out through documented interactions rather than named as an a priori aptitude or benchmark. As such, this is a call for all the hybrid maker-thinkers who dabble in different theories of machinic agency including artificial life, digital games, interaction design, robotics, ubiquitous computing, expert systems, virtual life, simulation, and neural networks. Prospective authors are invited to propose recipes for human-machine encounters that actualize machine agencies and intelligences. Many, Many Machine Agencies is a kind of a cookbook for engaging critically with machines, and as such, we take inspiration from celebrated cookbook authors like MFK Fisher who provides recipes and instructions for dishes, while embedding them in a broader biographical and cultural narrative. Certainly, we want to teach readers how to get on cooking with AI, but we also do not want to be too prescriptive in the kind of instructions they dispense. Essentially, the chapter-recipes are descriptive accounts of interactions and experiences that the reader can reproduce for themselves in their own setting, and they provide the pretext for the articulation and understanding that arise from the encounter. An encounter refers to an interaction between humans, machines, and environments. The prompt, for example, can be an encounter, one highly scripted in the history of computing where machines guess/predict what we expect. Often our roles in interactions with machines are prescripted, and we find ourselves reproducing encounters within frames of client/server, sender/receiver, core/periphery. Our book challenges these expectations that are inherited from the instrumentalist logics that curtail stories of other kinds of encounters with machines. Encounters can be simple games, thought experiments with technologies, reflections on artistic praxis that produce agencies in the experience. For more details about the book, see: https://machineagencies.milieux.ca/cfp-mma/ To support the book, we also have a 4S open panel #136 Many, Many Machine Agencies: Recipes for Posthuman-Human Encounters Please submit your abstract for 4S here: https://www.4sonline.org/accepted_open_panels_toronto.php We encourage anyone interested to submit a 250-word abstract. The deadline is 30 April. Please contact me if you have any questions. -- Be good, Fen
