Social Justice in an Age of Datafication - Launching the Data Justice Lab
by Lina Dencik 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

Members of this list might be interested in the following event: Social Justice in an Age of Datafication — Launching the Data Justice Lab — Friday 17 March 4pm — Cardiff University, UK The Data Justice Lab<https://datajusticelab.org/> will officially launch on Friday, 17 March 2017. Join us for the launch event at Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies (JOMEC) at 4pm. Our financial transactions, communications, movements, relationships, and interactions with government and corporations all increasingly generate data that are used to profile and sort groups and individuals. These processes can affect both individuals as well as entire communities that may be denied services and access to opportunities, or wrongfully targeted and exploited. In short, they impact on our ability to participate in society. The emergence of this data paradigm therefore introduces a particular set of power dynamics requiring investigation and critique. The Data Justice Lab is a new space for research and collaboration at Cardiff University that has been established to examine the relationship between datafication and social justice. With this launch event, we ask: What does social justice mean in age of datafication? How are data-driven processes impacting on certain communities? In what way does big data change our understanding of governance and politics? And what can we do about it? We invite you to come and participate in this important discussion. We will be joined by the following keynote speakers: Virginia Eubanks (New America), Malavika Jayaram (Digital Asia Hub), and Steven Renderos (Center for Media Justice). Virginia Eubanks is the author of Digital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age (MIT Press, 2011) and co-editor, with Alethia Jones, of Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around: Forty Years of Movement Building with Barbara Smith (SUNY Press, 2014). She is also the cofounder of Our Knowledge, Our Power (OKOP), a grassroots economic justice and welfare rights organization. Professor Eubanks is currently working on her third book, Digital Poorhouse, for St. Martin’s Press. In it, she examines how new data-driven systems regulate and discipline the poor in the United States. She is a Fellow at New America, a Washington, D.C. think tank and the recipient of a three-year research grant from the Digital Trust Foundation (with Seeta Peña Gangadharan and Joseph Turow) to explore the meaning of digital privacy and data justice in marginalized communities. Malavika Jayaram is the Executive Director of the Digital Asia Hub in Hong Kong. Previously she was a Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where she focused on privacy, identity, biometrics and data ethics. She worked at law firms in India and the UK, and she was voted one of India’s leading lawyers. She is Adjunct Faculty at Northwestern University and a Fellow with the Centre for Internet & Society, India, and she is on the Advisory Board of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). Steven Renderos is Organizing Director at the Center for Media Justice. With over 10 years of organizing experience Steven has been involved in campaigns to lower the cost of prison phone calls, preserving the Open Internet, and expanding community owned radio stations. Steven previously served as Project Coordinator of the Minnesotano Media Empowerment Project, an initiative focused on improving the quality and quantity of media coverage and representation of Latinos in Minnesota. He currently serves on the boards of Organizing Apprenticeship Project and La Asamblea de Derechos Civiles. Steven (aka DJ Ren) also hosts a show called Radio Pocho at a community radio station and spins at venues in NYC. The event will be followed by a reception.

CFP - 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things for Active and Assisted Living (IoTAAL) - IEEE Global IoT Summit 2017, Geneva, Switzerland - 6-9 June 2017
by Laura Montanini 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

CALL FOR PAPERS (apologies for multiple copies) *3rd IEEE International Workshop on Internet of Things for Active and Assisted Living (IoTAAL)* In conjunction with IEEE Global IoT Summit 2017, Geneva, Switzerland - 6-9 June 2017. http://www.tlc.dii.univpm.it/iotaalms/iotaal2017/ *MOTIVATION AND SCOPE * Increased life expectancy and decreased birth rates are challenging developed countries worldwide, with a rapidly growing elderly population, and a declining workforce. These two contextual phenomena are generating new needs, as ageing increases the probability of developing physical and cognitive impairments, requiring new and more effective ways to provide support and care. According to the United Nations, the elderly, defined as people over the age of 60, will make up 37% of the European population by 2050, from 20% in 2000: this will put a dramatic pressure on public welfare systems, and new ways of assistance and care delivery have to be designed. The Internet of Things may provide significant enhancement to the quality of life for the elderly and, in general, people in need, bringing new algorithms, architectures and platforms into Active and Assisted Living (AAL), to develop new and innovative approaches. A peculiar aspect of IoT relies in enabling the collection of massive amounts of data, generated from physical and virtual sensors, things, smart objects and users. As such, IoT is totally functional to AAL, with the pervasive collection of environmental and personal data related to the monitored subject, and their processing, aimed at generating information to be used in different types of applications, from behavioral analysis, to gesture and action recognition, to fall prevention and detection, to human-machine interaction, just to mention a few. *TOPICS OF INTEREST* This workshop aims at investigating the close relationship between IoT and AAL, in a data-oriented perspective, and at different layers: from the technologies enabling sensor data collection, to the communication architectures needed to support data transfer, to the reasoning techniques applied to data, in order to generate the information upon which AAL services and functionalities are built. Among the topics of interest, a non-exhaustive list includes: - use of emerging networking, sensing and tracking technologies for AAL - IoT enabled signal acquisition, analysis, and processing for activity identification and recognition in AAL - low power communication technologies - green IoT and sustainable solutions for AAL - cloud and mobile cloud architectures supporting AAL through IoT - privacy-preserving data processing techniques - big data, analytics, and signal processing for AAL enabled by an IoT approach - machine learning to enable AAL services (behavioral analysis, gesture and action recognition, fall prevention and detection, intake monitoring, anomalous patterns detection, sleep monitoring, etc…) - datasets to enable benchmarking of machine learning algorithms for AAL applications - new design paradigms in human-machine interaction for AAL - smart and sustainable IoT solutions for AAL - implementation of Social IoT for AAL - sensor webs and AAL - semantic web of things for AAL - distributed sensing and alarming technologies for AAL - smart interfaces for AAL - user-adapted interaction with AAL smart objects - models of context and context awareness - IoT applications, systems, and testbeds for AAL - IoT for AAL devices and accessibility - Future directions in IoT for AAL *IMPORTANT DATES* Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2017 Acceptance/rejection announcement: March 31, 2017 Final workshop papers due: April 30, 2017 *SUBMISSION OF PAPERS* Submissions are managed through EDAS: https://edas.info/N22968 We encourage the submission of original contributions investigating and studying IoT and AAL: - Full research papers (max 6 pp. in PDF) - Short papers (3 pp. in PDF) for position papers and research-in-progress papers Standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* Workshop co-chairs: - Susanna Spinsante (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Ilknur Celik (Middle East Technical University, Northern Cyprus Campus – TURKEY) - Ilaria Torre (University of Genoa – ITALY) Technical program co-chairs: - Ennio Gambi (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Lambros Lambrinos (Cyprus University of Technology – CYPRUS) - Ciprian Dobre (University Politehnica of Bucharest – ROMANIA) Publicity co-chairs: - Enea Cippitelli (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Laura Montanini (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) TPC members (list to be completed): - Claudio Enrico Palazzi (Università degli Studi di Padova – ITALY) - Ahmed Abdelgawad (Central Michigan University – USA) - Nuno Garcia (University of Beira Interior – PORTUGAL) - Andrea Barbaresi (Telecom Italia SpA – Italy) - Dirk Ahlers (NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim – NORWAY) - Emanuele Principi (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - An Braeken (Vrije Universiteit Brussel – BELGIUM) - Emmanuel Conchon (University of Toulouse – FRANCE) - Stefano Squartini (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Chris Nugent (Ulster University – UK) - Martin Jacobsson (KTH Royal Institute of Technology – SWEDEN) - Franco Davoli (University of Genoa – ITALY) - Constandinos Mavromoustakis (University of Nicosia – CYPRUS) - Albena Mihovska (Aalborg Universitet – DENMARK) - Laura Montanini (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Ariel Stulman (Jerusalem College of Technology – ISRAEL) - Javier Medina Quero (University of Granada – SPAIN) - Katarzyna Wac (University of Geneva – SWITZERLAND) - Lucio Ciabattoni (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Paolo Sernani (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Macarena Espinilla Estévez (University of Jaen – SPAIN) - Thomas Plagemann (University of Oslo – NORWAY) - Aldo Franco Dragoni (Università Politecnica delle Marche – ITALY) - Thomas Zinner (University of Wurzburg – GERMANY) The workshop is supported by endorsement from the following entities: - IEEE IoT Initiative - IEEE Italy Section Consumer Electronics Society Chapter - IEEE Signal Processing Society - SIG on IoT For more information please visit the workshop website at http://www.tlc.dii.univpm.it/iotaalms/iotaal2017/

CFP: Locating the Child in Digital Games Research, workshop at DiGRA2017
by Bjorn Nansen 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

We invite submissions for the half-day workshop ‘Locating the Child in Digital Games Research’, to be held as part of the DiGRA 2017 Conference in Melbourne, on morning of July 3rd, 2017. (apologies for cross-posting) The vast majority of children, including the very young, engage in some kind of digitally mediated play on a regular basis. Of course, ‘play’ and ‘childhood’ are deeply entwined concepts with play deemed necessary and natural for children in contemporary western societies. However, ‘child’s play’ remains marginal in game studies literature. The overarching aims of this workshop are: • To bring together researchers in games studies whose work includes a focus on children’s digital play. • To establish an interdisciplinary dialogue with scholars from a range of fields. We welcome submissions for participation that describe completed, in progress, or planned research. Relevant theoretical or ‘talking points’ proposals will also be considered. Submissions should consist of an abstract (300-500 words) More details, including further background to this area of research and key dates, can be found at the conference or workshop website: http://digra2017.com/workshops/; http://childrenanddigitalgames.weebly.com/ Key Dates: • Submission deadline: 7 April, 2017 • Notification: 14 April, 2017 • Workshop date: July 3, 2017 We look forward to your participation!

CFP Moving Forward: Where is the Journalist in Social Media? (EXTENDED DEADLINE)
by Ngoma Evelyn Moghalu 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

The following CFP and media workshop might be of interest to scholars examining journalism in social media. Please share widely. Extended deadline: February 22, 2017 ---- Centre for Ecological, Social, and Informatics Cognitive Research (ESI.CORE) Moving Forward: Where is the Journalist in Social Media? SpringHill Suites Downtown Denver Metropolitan State University of Denver Denver, Colorado USA June 23-24, 2017 Call for Papers: In the current political climate, the constructions of celebrity leaders and popular forms of mediated truths, especially with the recent "fake" internet news, have raised questions about journalism. Tabloid and other forms of popular journalism use narrative devices of gossip, rumor and scandals while many news media have abandoned facts and intelligent analysis in favor of spectacular outrage and incivility, both situations acting as testaments to the lack of informed opinions. Although scholars and journalists work together during news reporting, investigations/documentaries, and on other issues that are covered by news media, scholars are often confined to academic research and disconnected from the realities faced by journalists. Can citizen journalists and journalism scholars help move forward with progressive research and practice? What are the qualifications and definitions of a `journalist?' Is this someone who is employed professionally - or someone who has received an academic certification (degree) to be qualified? Or can anyone today be a journalist? Citizen participation has been seen as essential in the democratic processes of production, distribution, and reception of news. Online participatory media such as blogs, comments and videos offer a democratic platform for the expression of alternative ideas that may otherwise be filtered by traditional journalism. Yet, citizen journalists need critical media literacy that is often lost in the lure of visibility. How can journalism scholars creatively and critically engage citizen journalists in the dissemination of their research, informed opinions and cultural productions? The Centre for Ecological, Social, and Informatics Cognitive Research (ESI.CORE), in association with sponsors Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) and WaterHill Publishing, invites academics, journalists, publicists, producers and guests to attend, speak and collaborate at the inaugural international conference Moving Forward: Where is the Journalist in Social Media? Join us in Denver, Colorado where the conference will uniquely combine vibrant roundtable and media workshop panels in a collaborative network. The format of the conference aims at being open and inclusive ranging from interdisciplinary academic scholars to practitioners involved in all areas of print, broadcast and online journalism. Working papers and media productions will be considered for the conference. Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in an edited book. Registration includes: Your printed package for the complete conference, professional development workshops, coffee / tea breaks, access to evening receptions, complimentary evening drinks, consideration for publication. Submission guidelines: * 250-word abstract or workshop / roundtable proposal * Include a title, your name, e-mail address, and affiliation if applicable * Submit to conference Chair Dr. William Huddy at email address: submit(a)esicore.org * Deadline for abstract submission: February 22, 2017 * Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2017 * Early bird registration deadline: April 30, 2017 * Full registration deadline: May 30, 2017 * Conference reception and presentations: June 23-24, 2017 Topics include but are not limited to: * Communication * Media * Journalism * Photojournalism * Television and Radio * Social Media * Informed Opinions * Infomercials * Advertisement * Publicity and Promotion * News * Interviews * Audience * Race * Gender * Environment and species * Class * Fiction * Genre * Biography * Theory and Methods * Ethics and Morality * Cognition * Media Literacy * Education and Advocacy * International Relations * Business and Community Partnerships Featured Media Workshop "Finding Your Voice: Being Heard in the Press Rather than Being Part of the Herd" [1]http://www.esicore.org/events/denverworkshop2017.html On May 7, 2004, The New York Times printed: "Most people, having given up on getting a set of unadorned facts, align themselves with whichever spin outlet seems comfortable." In this two-hour workshop, participants will learn how the traditional news media industry works and how to be heard by press outlets and fellow citizens. Those in attendance will also learn how to deal with social media news consumers who often operate without a complete informational picture. Find out how to be both a critical consumer of the news and an active participant in societal debates in this innovative workshop. Key Speakers Josh Nathan graduated from Northwestern University, Magna cum Laude, in Journalism before spending 10 years working on-air as a television reporter and a National Weather Association certified meteorologist. His final position in TV was with the NBC affiliate in Hawaii, where he was also finishing his graduate degree. A professor with The Art Institutes in Critical Thinking and Communication, he began teaching for the University of Colorado Denver last year. He serves as an Academic Critic for the Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) and is co-chair of its NYC 2017 conference. Quoted on a variety of subjects in international forums with several journal publications to his credit, Nathan wrote his first book about the ways in which news changes the collective memory of events, altering historical narratives. His second book, Too Mad to Trust (2015), was a departure aimed at curbing rising communicative disorders in children, and he is currently completing his PhD in Education and Human Resource Studies at Colorado State University. William Huddy earned his Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Denver (2012). Prior to academia, Huddy worked as a journalist and anchored television newscasts in Colorado Springs, Colorado, El Paso, Texas, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Fort Myers, Florida. He's a Past-President (2007) of the Rocky Mountain Communication Association, and an active member of the National Communication Association since 2001. He teaches Political and Campaign Communication, Communication Research and Theory Building, Interpersonal Communication and Public Speaking at Metropolitan State University of Denver (since 2013), with a research focus on student engagement and communication activism. His most recent publication came from the Sept. 2-3, 2015 Center for Media and Celebrity Studies Conference presentation of his paper, "Corporate Colonization and the Myth of Authentic Journalism."
