Social media educational toolkit
by Evan Light 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hi all - longtime lurker, first-time poster, I'm teaching a social media class this term. Many of my students are taking it because they want to be able to help younger generations better navigate the worlds of social media than they were capable of. I've proposed developing an educational toolkit for kids and they're interested. Has anybody out there developed a similar sort of toolkit in a class? Have you developed one outside of class? Thanks!

CFP Diaspora, migration and the media ECREA section workshop, Bilbao 2-3 November 2017
by Leurs, K.H.A. (Koen) 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting. We are looking forward to receive your submissions for the ECREA Diaspora, migration and the media section workshop taking place in Bilbao 2-3 November 2017. We will also have a productive session aimed at young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) to share knowledge, to get feedback about their research and to network for future collaboration. Submit your abstracts by April 16. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions. Kindly circulate to anyone who might be interested, Best wishes, Koen Leurs, also on behalf of Irati Agirreazkuenaga, Kevin Smets and Melis Mevsimler ***** CALL FOR PAPERS ECREA Diaspora, migration and the media section University of the Basque Country, Bilbao “MIGRATION AND COMMUNICATION FLOWS: RETHINKING BORDERS, CONFLICT AND IDENTITY THROUGH THE DIGITAL” “We are faced with a crisis of humanity, and the only exit from this crisis is to recognize our growing interdependence as a species and to find new ways to live together in solidarity and cooperation, amidst strangers who may hold opinions and preferences different from our own.” Zygmunt Bauman, Strangers at our door (Polity, 2016) ECREA’s ‘Diaspora, Migration and Media’ and ‘Intercultural and International Communication’ sections will organize a joint conference at the University of Basque Country in Bilbao on 2-3 November 2017 that will focus on how research on migration and communication flows can help rethinking key notions like ‘borders’, ‘conflict’, ‘solidarity’, ‘identity’ and ‘culture’. RATIONALE:   Migration, cultural diversity and the media are increasingly problematized. Europe appears to be crumbling down in the current moment as a result of the Brexit vote, the election of Donald Trump and the so-called ‘European Refugee Crisis’. This is illustrated by hoaxes and fake news messages on these themes that serve as popular clickbait on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. As media outlets seek to address these ‘post-Truth’ conditions, populist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist and neo-nationalist rhetoric and sentiments have grown excessively across social media. Meanwhile, the number of internal and external European borders proliferates, and digital data are used for surveillance and migration management. Therefore, mediated encounters with diversity, the humanitarianism-securitization nexus and the role of communication flows urgently deserve further academic exploration to advance understanding of some of the major societal challenges of our time. The continuous re-appropriation of Anas Modamani’s selfie with the German chancellor Angela Merkel on Facebook is an illustrative case in point. He took his selfie in September 2015, when Merkel visited the Berlin shelter where he was then living. Modamani is a Syrian refugee who fled from Darayya. After posting the selfie online, he has repeatedly been falsely linked to terrorism. On the basis of physically resemblance, he was for example wrongly accused to be involved in the bombings in Brussel (March 2016) and the recent attack at a Berlin Christmas market (December 2016), see seehttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38599385. The conference aims to cover a broad range of conflict-related themes such as media production and regulation of information on forced migrants in a ‘post-Truth’ era; fake news; the humanitarianism-securitization nexus, migration management, social and political conflicts related to migrant and diaspora communities, radicalization and online counter-terrorism, hate speech and racism, but also solidarities, activism and protest. Digital technologies and innovations constantly offer new ways to approach these issues, both theoretically and methodologically. The organizers invite papers that explore the complexity of migration and communication flows through conceptual interventions as well as qualitative and quantitative studies. PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME The conference will include: • Keynote lectures by Marie Gillespie and Pedro Oiarzabal.   *Marie Gillespie is Professor of Sociology, The Open University, coordinator of the Mapping Refuge Media Journey project (2016-2018). “The "Mapping Refugee Media Journeys" project investigates the parallel tracks of the physical and digital journeys of Syrian and Iraqi refugees. It documents the media and informational resources that refugees use from the point of departure, during their journeys across different borders and states, and upon arrival (if they reach their desired destination)”. For more information, see http://www.open.ac.uk/ccig/research/projects/mapping-refugee-media-journeys    *Pedro Oiarzabal is an Internet and Basque studies scholar, and a migration and diaspora researcher. His research examines diaspora creation and diaspora interaction with information and communication technologies as well as the meaning of identity in both homeland and diaspora realities, with particular emphasis on the Basque case. • A roundtable to establish bridges of dialogue between academics studying the coverage of migrants and journalists reporting on various conflicts in Europe, addressing methodological and ethical challenges. • A YECREA event dedicated to young scholars (PhD and postdoc level): see below for more information. • A joint panel organized with the ECREA ‘Intercultural and International Communication’ division to broaden the empirical, conceptual and methodological scope of the conference and to explore future collaborations. • An elaborate social programme, including a conference dinner and boat tour, allowing participants to enjoy the city of Bilbao. Call for panel and paper proposals To explore the issue of migration and communication flows in an informal and stimulating atmosphere, we invite participants to submit paper and panel proposals to the 2017 ECREA Diaspora, Migration & Media conference. We particularly welcome proposals on the following topics: • Rethinking the category of the migrant: forced migrants, guest-laborers, postsocialist, postcolonial, expatriates • ‘Bottom-up’ digitally mediated processes, such as transnational and local networking and connectivity, diaspora organizations, identity construction, urban communications • ‘Top down’ digitally mediated processes of migrant management: border control, surveillance & control systems for population movements, migrant detention centres, express flights, arrests at the street, lack of public information • The humanitarianism-securitization nexus, human/communication rights, border management, express flights, street arrests, surveillance and political economy • Migrants, media and language: the impact of migrants on linguistic dynamics (particularly in the context of natively bilingual societies), building resilience for new and local minority media structures • Intersectional analyses of migration and communication flows: how do axes of difference, including race, gender, sexuality, nation, location, generation religion, class together co-constitute subordination and identity • Methodological considerations in media and migration studies, including, but not limited to digital migration studies We encourage scholars whose abstracts have been accepted, to submit full papers by 1 October 2017 in order to compete for the first ECREA Diaspora, Migration & Media Paper Awards. There will be one award for junior scholars and one for senior scholars.

4S open panel invitation - Feelings and Doubt in Technoscience
by Monika Sengul-Jones 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Dear Association of Internet Researchers: I'd like to invite you to consider submitting a paper abstract to the panel I'm co-convening for 4S in Boston this year. Abstracts are due March 1. It would be great to have critical internet/digital media studies folks working with STS to speak to the themes of this panel. Rich, timely topic! We need your good work! Thanks for your consideration ~ Monika Sengul-Jones & Amanda Menking *89. Feelings and Doubt in Technoscience* *Organized by:* Monika Sengul-Jones, UC San Diego; Amanda Menking, University of Washington “Post-truth” was the Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year in 2016. This neologism refers to how appeals to emotion—and even deliberate deception—influence the ignorance of, or rejection of facts. Feelings, and subjectivities more generally, have long been a focus of STS work. STS scholars have sought to mete out the complex relationships between positionality, affects, and networks that lead to knowledge-making claims and their role in truth-regimes. This panel seeks to address our contemporary moment’s crises about “truth” in critical retrospective: to use the methodological tools of STS to offer a nuanced examination of the longstanding, complex relationships between feelings and doubts about technoscience historically and today. This panel invites papers that speak to a range of topics including: feelings of morality and postcolonialism (see Schiebinger 2004); the feelings that engender the spread of ignorance (see Proctor 2016); gender, feelings, and science (Harding 1991; Keller 1983); entanglements of affects and biology (Wilson, 2015); commercial industries and doubt about scientific consensus (Oreskes and Conway 2011); and gender and attachments to personal beliefs, such as vaccinations (see Reich 2014). This panel will facilitate inter-generational conversations around an important topic harmonized with the theme of 4S in 2017. “Feelings and Doubt in Technoscience” will interrogate thoughtfully and reflectively the conference’s call to bring attention to “(in)sensibilities of contemporary technoscience,” by addressing the technological and cultural means by which feelings about technoscience lead to it being ridiculed as nonsense, marshaled to incense, and/or make sense.

"Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society": New Special Section published in the International Journal of Communication
by Arne Hintz 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

"Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society": New Special Section published in the International Journal of Communication The revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden have transformed our understanding of digital communication. Providing unprecedented insights into Internet and telecommunications surveillance, they pointed us to the ways in which the 'datafication' of increasing aspects of our lives have become central to governance and control. What, then, are the implications of ubiquitous surveillance for digital citizenship? How should we understand the actions of citizens in a monitored and datafied environment? In what ways do power relations between citizens and the state shift ― and with what avenues for intervention? Guest-edited by Arne Hintz, Lina Dencik, Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, Michael Rogers and Ian Brown, this Special Section on Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society discusses the state of digital citizenship in the aftermath of the Snowden revelations, based on findings from a two-year UK-based research project. A first group of contributors present project results on the implications of the Snowden leaks for journalism, public knowledge, possibilities for dissent, technological infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks. A second group ― renowned scholars from the fields of surveillance, media and journalism studies, as well as representatives of civil society organizations ― situate these findings in current developments in datafied societies. Together, the articles present a comprehensive analysis of the consequences of the Snowden leaks, and they re-think digital citizenship in a post-Snowden world. The Special Section is available as part of volume 11 of the International Journal of Communication: http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/issue/view/13. It includes the following articles: Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society – Editorial Introduction<http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/5521> Arne Hintz, Lina Dencik, Karin Wahl-Jorgensen The Normalization of Surveillance and the Invisibility of Digital Citizenship: Media Debates After the Snowden Revelations<http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/5523> Karin Wahl-Jorgensen, Lucy Bennett, Gregory Taylor The Advent of Surveillance Realism: Public Opinion and Activist Responses to the Snowden Leaks<http://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/5524> Lina Dencik, Jonathan Cable Enabling Digital Citizenship?

WEBCAST TODAY: Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee (CSMAC) – Jan 25 2017
by Joly MacFie 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Following the resignation of Larry Strickling, the NTIA is currently headless <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/offices>. However the Office of Spectrum Management ploughs on under the capable leadership of Paige Atkins. It's a fine example of multistakeholder process via the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee, especially since 2010 when a Presidential Memorandum ordered 500Mhz of Federal Spectrum be opened up to other uses. It meets twice a year.The main topic under discussion at the Jan 2017 meeting was spectrum sharing, Obviously the 5Ghz band i.e LTE-U is a major concern, measuerement, beaconing etc, and the development of 5G. At this meeting commitments were made to establish standards, documentation, and transparency. This is just starting. It runs almost 2.5 hours. I will post to YouTube after it finishes. joly posted: "On January 25 2017 the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee held an Open Meeting in Washington DC.
