Call for Participation: Workshop on Critical GIS
by ryan burns 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

*Call For Participation: workshop on Critical GIS* This is a call for participation in a workshop on emerging theories in Critical Cartography and GIS to be held during the North American Cartographic Society (NACIS) meeting. For consideration, we are seeking emergent work and epistemological interventions with respect to geographic information (e.g., spatial media). Contributions might apply theoretical insights to spatial knowledge politics not only of the visual, but also to processes that influence the visual and society at large. For example, how are current theories of Critical GIS related to data provenance, data handling, spatial knowledge politics, narrative framings of the world, or spatial decision making procedures? How are processes of GI acquisition and analysis related (or not) to the visual outputs they often produce? How have these processes come to be mediated and by what sociotechnical systems? Our goal is not to rehash the substantive critiques of the 1990’s; powerful and influential though they may be. Rather, we wish to solicit established and emerging scholars to think through how new social theoretical frames, new domains of knowledge production, and new technologies may fit together to produce new knowledges. We are especially interested in expanding our ideas of both what ‘critical’ and ‘geospatial’ might mean in relation to fields like the digital (geo)humanities, Science and Technology Studies, library science, spatial cognition, citizen science, smart cities and Internet of Things, political ecology, and others. We intend for this workshop to catalyze discussions with long-term implications for the discipline. To facilitate such fresh approaches to the field(s), we encourage co-authored, rather than single-authored, contributions. To this end, we expect workshop participants to submit for consideration to a special issue of International Journal of GIS, which we will commence organizing in late 2017. The workshop will be held at McGill University on Friday October 13, concurrent with Workshop Day at NACIS in Montreal. Please respond to this call and specify which of the following applies to you: 1. You would like us to partner you with someone who has a different view point from you and we think you would come up with interesting ideas together, related to critical GIS. 2. You have a co-author who has a different view point who you have never written with and you would like to write with. 3. You can attend the NACIS workshop. To be considered for this workshop, please submit a 500-1000 word (1-2 pages) short paper outlining your position with respect to new theories of Critical GIS and/or Cartography by August 31. Please submit the short papers to renee.sieber(a)mcgill.ca. We recognize that the timing between the end of August and the middle of October is quite short. Therefore, all people who submit short papers will be accepted to attend the NACIS workshop. *Organizers*: Renee Sieber, Associate Professor, McGill University Luke Bergmann, Assistant Professor, University of Washington Seattle Ryan Burns, Assistant Professor, University of Calgary Britta Ricker, Assistant Professor, University of Washington Tacoma Jim Thatcher, Assistant Professor, University of Washington Tacoma -- Ryan Burns, PhD Dept of Geography University of Calgary http://burnsr77.github.io

CfP: Special issue 'Women and Tech in the Post-Soviet Context: Intelligence, Creativity, Transgression’, Studies in Russian, Eurasian, and Central-European New Media
by Mariëlle W. 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

*Studies in Russian, Eurasian, and Central-European New Media *( www.digitalicons.org) invites submissions for its upcoming special issue *'Women and Tech in the Post-Soviet Context: Intelligence, Creativity, Transgression'* Guest editors: Saara Ratilainen (University of Helsinki), Mariëlle Wijermars (University of Helsinki) and Justin Wilmes (East Carolina University) The development of the internet as a democratizing tool fostering freedom of information, grass-roots activism, and peer-to-peer support is closely related to and engrained in hacker communities. In the early days of the internet’s development, these groups consisted primarily of young white men from with access to higher education and technology. In popular culture, the image of the successful programmer, software developer and ‘hacktivist’ remains predominantly male and is based on such well-known examples as Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Edward Snowden, and Pavel Durov. Meanwhile, there are few if any stories or representations of women who have led the hacker revolution. As access to computer-programming-based technology becomes democratized on the user-end, gender (and other) inequalities on the developer side continue to persist with women drastically underrepresented in tech professions. These representations contradict what we know from history, including the fact that there are several women who have led crucial advancements in math and computing. Ada Lovelace, Victorian mathematician and daughter of Lord Byron, was notably the inventor of algorithms. She introduced the ‘calculating machine’ one hundred years before the existence of modern computers. Another pioneering female computer scientist and feminist figure, Joan Clarke, worked as a cryptanalyst in the British Government’s Code and Cypher School with the task of decrypting the German Enigma machine code during World War II. Clarke’s work was brought to the attention of international film audiences by *The Imitation Game *in 2014 and biographies of Lovelace are being published in different languages. Despite some renewed interest, we still know far too little about women’s work in computing, internet activism, and technology industries in general. *Studies in Russian, Eurasian, and Central-European New Media *( www.digitalicons.org) invites submissions that address women, feminism, and the internet in post-socialist contexts to be published in a special issue ‘Women and Tech in the post-Soviet Context: Intelligence, Creativity, Transgression’. The issue aims to consider what is it like to be a female programmer, online activist, or digital artist in the era of global connectedness through the internet. According to a study conducted by HackerRank (blog.hackerrank.com) of the ten nations with the best women coders three are Eastern European/post-socialist countries, which prompts the question whether female programmers are better off in post-socialist countries than they are in Silicon Valley? Against this background, the issue also seeks to examine feminist activism and women’s creative work online. Did Pussy Riot pave the way for transnational feminism to grow through online communications? What is the role of internet-based ‘cyber feminism’ (feminist theorizing, critiquing and exploiting the internet and new media technologies) ) for the grass-roots work of women’s groups across the post-socialist space and beyond? How do women artists, writers, and poets advance their careers through online networks and computer programming? The proposed articles can include (but are not limited to) themes such as: - Female coders - Women in software developer communities - Gender representation of hacktivism - Women and artificial intelligence - Feminist groups online - Feminist internet sites - Female gamers/women in the gaming industry - Women’s online poetry and literature - Women in digital art - Female idols on Runet - Female pioneers of Runet - Women in the history of computing and internet in the post-Soviet context Please send an abstract of 350 words and a short cv to the issue’s editors Saara Ratilainen (saara.ratilainen(a)helsinki.fi) Mariëlle Wijermars ( marielle.wijermars(a)helsinki.fi) and Justin Wilmes (wilmesj15(a)ecu.edu) by *15 October 2017*. * Deadline for abstracts: 15 October 2017 Notification of acceptance: 20 November 2017 Deadline for full articles: 31 January 2018
