Syllabi mentioning Ranking Digital Rights
by Nathalie Marechal 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Dear Colleagues, I know from informal conversation with several people on this list that some of you are using the work of Ranking Digital Rights, notably the Corporate Accountability Index, in your syllabi. It would be very useful for our grant reporting to be able to point to some of these syllabi. If you do use RDR in your classes, I would be most grateful if you could share your syllabi with me. With thanks, Nathalie -- Nathalie Maréchal Doctoral Candidate, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism Senior Research Fellow, Ranking Digital Rights Marechal(a)usc.edu | @MarechalUSC | www.nathaliemarechal.net PGP - EB43 3CE8 A759 5419 52C0 2FF1 B721 C0BF 0F43 0663

Call for Participation: Archives Unleashed 3.0: Web Archive Datathon
by Ian Milligan 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

[apologies for cross-posting] Call for Participation: Archives Unleashed 3.0: Web Archive Datathon http://archivesunleashed.com Internet Archive, San Francisco CA 23 - 24 February 2017 We expect to be able to offer travel grants for US-based graduate students Applications due 20 January 2017 ***Call for Participation*** **This event is a follow-up to the Archives Unleashed datathon series - the first was held in March 2016 in Toronto and the second was held in June 2016 Washington DC. We’re continuing the datathon program in 2017, and are excited to bring this program to the Internet Archive.** The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. Our series of datathons presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This event will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to web archives, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language (such as but not limited to Python) is strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to continue to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. ***Please also save the date! Archives Unleashed 4.0 will be held at the British Library in London, UK, June 11 - 13. Check back here at http://archivesunleashed.com/au4-0-british-invasion/ for more details *** Thanks to the generous support of the National Science Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo’s Department of History, the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, and the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, we will cover lunches and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the datathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: * the .gov web archive covering the American government domain * the End of Term Web Archives (.gov/.mil), from 2008, 2012, and 2016 * social media collectios from the 2016 archive * Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection * and other datasets to be announced We will also have datasets from the Internet Archive's recent event available, some noted above and the rest available at http://blog.archive.org/2017/01/02/join-us-for-a-white- house-social-media-and-gov-data-hackathon/. Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Matthew Weber (matthew.weber(a)rutgers.edu) by 20 January 2017 with “Archives Unleashed” in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the datathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 25 January 2017. We expect to be able to issue a limited number of travel grants available for US-based graduate students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants.

Microsoft sued by its own Commercial Content Moderators
by Sarah T. Roberts 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Of potential interest to many on this list, I suspect - An attorney in Washington state filed suit on behalf of two CCM workers who, he alleges, now suffer PTSD due to exposure to horrific content as an integral part of their employment at Microsoft. It is, to my knowledge, a first of its kind case - but likely not the last. https://illusionofvolition.com/2017/01/11/microsoft-sued-by-commercial-cont… —Sarah --- S a r a h T. R o b e r t s, P h. D.

Panelists for panel "Social Media and Elections" for the NECS conference in Paris
by Rainer Hillrichs 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Dear all, during the past couple of months, the impact of social media on elections has been a prominent topic of discussion. 'Fake news' and big-data-based advertising were discussed in particular. The Network of European Cinema and Media Studies (NECS) is holding its annual conference in Paris from June 29 to July 1. The NECS workgroup 'new media' wants to submit a panel by the working title "Social Media and Elections: Practices, Discourses, Impact". If you want to be part of this panel, send your idea for a paper to hillrichs(a)uni-mannheim.de ASAP. We have two participants already. While the panel’s working title is still very general, ideas for papers should be specific of course. As the workgroup’s coordinator, I’ll see if ideas work together and come back to you to ask for the full abstract. The panel has to be submitted by January 31. Best, Rainer P.S. Don't be put off by the conference's topic "Senses and Sensibilities": Submissions from all fields of cinema and media studies will be considered for acceptance. -- Dr. Rainer Hillrichs Universität Mannheim https://uni-mannheim.academia.edu/RainerHillrichs

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners’ day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community’s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers] All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE GENERAL CO-CHAIRS * Robert H.

CFP - "Markets and Beyond in the Digital Age", SASE Conference, June 29-July 1, 2017, Lyon, France
by kevin.mellet＠orange.com 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

[Apologies for cross-posting] CALL FOR ABSTRACTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Markets and Beyond in the Digital Age Call for papers for mini-conference at SASE 29th Annual Conference, 'What's Next? Disruptive/Collaborative Economy or Business as Usual?', June 29-July 1, 2017, Lyon, France DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: February 3, 2017 Organizers : Jean-Samuel Beuscart, Dave Elder-Vass, Kevin Mellet, Elisa Oreglia, Janaki Srinavasan The development of digital and online technologies has deeply impacted the organization of markets, firms, institutions and consumer agencies. In some cases, these changes have disrupted value chains and market equilibria. In many industries digital players have built new sociotechnical arrangements, including those forms of intermediation sometimes referred to as the platform economy. In the Global South, digital money and financial services offered through digital technologies have been hailed as having the potential to create financial inclusion and grow the economy. More generally, digitization affects the way most ordinary economic activities are designed, undertaken and assessed, from marketing through consumption, including for example tracking and targeting devices, the imperative of data collection, and the rise of collaborative consumption. Empirical studies show that the outcomes of digitization are not technically determined, but depend on local arrangements. On some markets, the internet provides opportunities for challengers, on some others it favors concentration; some digital tools empower consumers, whereas tracking and targeting devices aim at controlling their behavior. Indeed the market form itself is sometimes bypassed in favor of new forms of economic organization. The aim of this mini-conference is to bring together empirical studies on digital markets and the digitization of economic practices. We particularly - though not exclusively - welcome contributions on: 1) Digital goods & services In many creative and knowledge-intensive industries, goods and services have been "digitized". Moreover, new categories of digital items circulate and are traded: digital money, digital artifacts (e.g. in-game objects), digital reputations. How are these digital commodities designed, valuated and traded? How does the machine-based intermediation that underlies digital services compare with human-based intermediaries? 2) Market infrastructure and equipment Digital infrastructures provide new kinds of intermediaries and business models, now gathered behind the concept of 'platform economy' (eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc.). But they also equip markets with new coordination instruments, such as judgement and evaluation systems based on participation (online consumer reviews), virtual and alternative currencies, bots, algorithms and new forms of calculation. To what extent do these infrastructures lead to new ways of performing markets practices online and offline? 3) Engaging with markets Online market devices have triggered or extended specific forms of market participation and enhanced new forms of consumerism. Digital technologies gave support for consumer empowerment: evaluation of products (price comparison, online reviews), coordination (forums, communities),amateur commercial activities - and digital labor. Symmetrically, firms invest in conversational forms of connection with consumers. How do these ongoing processes shift market boundaries and change the balance of power in the economy? 4) Beyond the market Digital technology also provides a platform for non-market forms of economy. On the web vast amounts of information are transmitted at no cost to the consumer, and this is further developed in organizations like Wikipedia. What are the contributions and prospects of non-market forms of digital economy? Abstracts of no longer than 1000 words should be submitted by February 3, 2017. All submissions should be made via the SASE website<https://sase.org/events/conference-submission-and-award-guidelines/>. https://sase.org/event/2017-lyon/ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
