CFP: CSCW 2025 Workshop on Mapping Risk Work
by Myeong Lee 08 Aug '25

08 Aug '25

Dear colleagues, We are inviting position papers (2-3 pages) or case studies for a hybrid workshop, Mapping risk work and designing technologies to support it in CSCW Research, to be held at the ACM CSCW 2025 Conference. * Workshop date: October 19th, 2025 (Sunday) * Where: Bergen, Norway (or Online through Zoom) * Position paper deadline: 9/5/2025 * Submission and other details: https://risk-it.github.io/cscw2025workshop/ Synopsis: This workshop brings together CSCW scholars of various domains, such as medicine and healthcare, disaster planning, and public safety, to consider different dimensions of risk work and their implications on computing. Risk work encompasses the practices through which workers assess, manage, and mitigate potential harms in situations framed by uncertainty (Horlick-Jones, 2005; Gale et al., 2016). In the face of a pervasive rhetoric of crisis, risk work is expanding and evolving as workers and laypeople are increasingly charged with preventing, predicting, and communicating risks (de Graaff et al., 2021). The changing landscape of risk work is coupled with expanding technical infrastructure that shapes communication, determines information sharing, and includes technologies of data collection and prediction. In this workshop, we aim to examine the challenges and opportunities in designing computing systems that support risk work in order to develop a research agenda for studying the future of risk work. Participants will come ready to present on case studies of risk work. We will then engage in collaborative mapping exercises and design practices to identify both the potential and pitfalls of technologies to support risk work. The workshop will culminate in a shared research agenda and design strategies for the future of computing in risk work contexts. Thank you for your interests, Best, ________________ Myeong Lee, Ph.D. Assistant Professor (Portfolio<https://myeonglee.com/>; E-mail<mailto:mlee89@gmu.edu>) Director, Community Informatics Lab (CIL)<https://cil.cec.gmu.edu/> Department of Information Sciences & Technology School of Computing George Mason University Fairfax, VA 22030

Deadline Extended (Sept. 30) - Special Issue on Global Diaspora and Social Media
by Xi Cui 05 Aug '25

05 Aug '25

Apologies for cross-posting. Hope some members on this list find it relevant. Thank you! Online Media and Global Communication, a Scopus-indexed journal Call for Papers – Special Issue Global Diaspora and Social Media Submission Deadline: Sept. 30, 2025 Anticipated Publication: Spring 2026 Editors of the Special Issue: Xi Cui – College of Charleston, USA Sumin Zhao – Edinburgh University, UK Social media platforms play an essential role in the formation and maintenance of global diaspora communities, enabling dispersed members to maintain cross-border connections, negotiate collective identities, and mobilize around shared meanings and histories. This special issue builds upon foundational scholarship on digital diasporas while advancing new theoretical frameworks to understand contemporary social media practices among diaspora communities. We seek research that critically examines how social media mediates diasporic experiences through identity construction, political participation, language and culture preservation, and transnational social and economic exchanges. We encourage submissions that theorize the evolving relationship between social media and diaspora engagement in an era of platformization and rising anti-globalization sentiment and geopolitical tensions worldwide. We are also interested in research exploring personal experiences of diaspora members, including the negotiation of ‘old’ and ‘new’ identities, emotional responses to separation and reunion, psychological well-being, and everyday social media practices. Studies investigating how emotions like nostalgia, hope, and belonging are articulated through social media, as well as research on how different platforms shape cognition and memory among diaspora individuals, will make valuable contributions. The special issue aims to cover diverse methodological approaches that capture the complexity of diaspora social media communication, including (digital) ethnography, (critical) discourse analysis, quantitative survey, content analysis, as well as research utilizing computational tools. We particularly welcome mixed-methods research that combines these approaches to provide multidimensional perspectives on how social media is transforming diaspora experiences in transnational contexts. We also encourage works that explore diaspora communities that are understudied and underrepresented in current literature. The special issue will address, but not be limited to, the following topics: * Identity expression and negotiation on social media * Contestation and construction of collective memory on social media * Political participation in home and/or host societies through social media * Transnational cultural interaction mediated by diaspora’s social media uses * Social media and viral events for diasporic communities * Diasporic labor and social media platform * Diasporic communities in the global south * Mis- and dis-information on social media among diasporic communities * Algorithmic moderation of diasporic information flows on social media * Psychological processes of diasporas’ emotions, attitudes, and well-being * Surveillance, censorship, and resistance regarding diasporic social media uses * Longitudinal and comparative studies of diasporic social media uses * New discursive resources such as meme and AI-generated contents * For paper format, please refer to the OMGC citation style with structured abstract at https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/omgc/html, click under “Submit” * Manuscript text length should be within 7,500 words without references, tables, and figures. Exceptions can be made for manuscripts with complex research designs and mixed methods studies. * Submit manuscript to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/omgc, select Special issue: Global Diaspora and Social Media * Please direct all inquiries to OMGC(a)shisu.edu.cn<mailto:OMGC@shisu.edu.cn>
