CFP: Workshop on New Media, Old Money, Elections and Democracy
by Richard Denny Taylor 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Colleagues, I am pleased to share with you this CFP for a Workshop in Washington, D.C., Sept. 27-29. Richard New Media, Old Money: Digital Technology, Social Media and the New Challenges to Campaigning and Democracy A by-invitation experts' workshop to be held at The Embassy of Switzerland in the United States of America Washington, DC, September 27-29, 2015 Electronic media have played a central role in politics almost since their introduction. The role of media in election campaigns is often seen as the origin of media and communication studies. The variety of political systems worldwide, the wide range of media systems that operate within them, and the extensive array of regulatory schemes that govern this association raise thought provoking questions about the role of media in democracy. The media-politics-capital triad has raised concerns about the effect of money on the health and fairness of political and media structures. The use of digital technologies and collaborative media has now become a critical part of these complex relationships. Increasingly, political campaigns are built around digital strategies rather than on traditional broadcast ad buys. The internet offers many additional groups cheap access to the public sphere and new possibilities for information and discussion. Accordingly, much of the most "impactful" money is spent "online," calling on expertise in building networks, conversations and communities using social networking platforms, combined with applications designed to amplify messaging as well as volunteers and users generating their own content. In addition, the ability to find, analyze and apply personal information from "big data" is becoming more important than market research and the focus has shifted to the development of comprehensive social media strategies for young, ethnic, gendered and special interest groups. Finally, legacy media and their traditional business models are affected by change as well, raising questions about implications of the internet for journalism and democracy. As a result, any current understanding of campaign spending and political communication must incorporate not just traditional advertising, but equally spending on internet and social networking platforms and the use of information technologies to identify and reach voters through multiple platforms. The same "Old Money" is being used to try to gain influence, but new media offer new approaches both to enhance and conceal its effects. Moreover, the same media brands with the same powerful owners prevail online as well. The Institute for Information Policy at Penn State, the Department of Communication and Media Research DCM at the University of Fribourg and the Journal of Information Policy, are pleased to announce this call for paper proposals. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present them during a two day (September 28th and 29th, 2015) by-invitation workshop designed to bring together up to a dozen American and international experts and to be held at the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, DC. The workshop will open with a reception on September 27th. Presenters at the workshop will be invited to submit their completed papers for review by the Journal of Information Policy ( <http://www.jip-online.org/> www.jip-online.org) By focusing on the media-politics-capital triad, and taking place a year before the presidential elections in the US and only weeks before the national elections in Switzerland, the workshop is ideally suited to provide important insights not only for scholarly research but also for policy-makers in both countries. Invited topics include, but are not limited to: * The role of media in election and referendum campaigns * The (democratic) need for regulation of media and campaigns * The role of money in campaigning and political communication * The role of money in media policy and regulation * Commercialization of the media and its effect on political coverage * Ownership structures of new and old media and their implications for democracy, political communication and media policy * Changes of political communication and journalism due to digitization * The strategic use of social media by political actors * Comparative studies of media regulation, political communication and campaigns * New metrics for campaign expenditures in the digital age * Political campaign money spending in online campaigns * Limitations on campaign spending * Limitations on contributions; on sources of contributions; requirements for disclosure; regulation of spending by advocacy groups; by political parties; and by individuals * The challenge of diversity of views and voices in the digital age * Applying broadcast political speech rules be applied on the Internet * Should social media, blogs, listserves and websites be subject to political speech rules? * How have the larger changes in the economics of media affected political news and commentary? Abstracts of up to 500 words and a short bio of the author(s) should be submitted to <mailto:pennstateiip@psu.edu> pennstateiip(a)psu.edu by July 10, 2015. Please write "IIPFUWS: Your Last Name" in the subject line. Accepted presenters will be notified by July 25, 2015.

Book announcement - Virtual Worlds for Online Learning: Cases and Applications (Corrected links)
by Lee, Mark 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

(Re-posting with the correct links!) Announcing the publication of the following title (now available for pre-order): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VIRTUAL WORLDS FOR ONLINE LEARNING: CASES AND APPLICATIONS ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Edited by: Sue Gregory, University of New England, Australia Mark J. W. Lee, Charles Sturt University, Australia Barney Dalgarno, Charles Sturt University, Australia Belinda Tynan, The Open University, UK Published by Nova Science Publishers http://bit.ly/1FtzlxK (Hardcover - ISBN: 978-1-63482-149-0) http://bit.ly/1G4Ny8a (Ebook - ISBN: 978-1-63482-194-0) * Description * This book showcases contemporary examples of three-dimensional virtual world use for Internet and web-mediated tertiary education from across the globe that cut across a range of disciplinary contexts and settings. By doing so, it seeks to promote scholarly dialogue as well as to assist the development and dissemination of good practice and best practices in the field. While there have been a number of other volumes published on virtual worlds and learning, many were written prior to the existence of mature applications and thus consist largely of early proof-of-concept reports; a number of practical or “how-to” guides for teachers considering using virtual worlds in their teaching have also been produced that have to do with either the technology or learning design. In general, much of what is available in the area is “show and tell” and does not engage deeply with theory or with key researchable questions and issues. This book is unique in the way it combines analysis and discussion of recent theoretical and empirical research with descriptive accounts and evaluations of exemplary and innovative discipline-based applications, all of which are focused on factors influencing the successful uptake and use of virtual worlds in online learning at universities and colleges. The book is a useful resource for educators with an interest in virtual worlds, irrespective of their level of experience and/or proficiency. The collection of exemplars presented will not only expose newcomers to the potential and possibilities of the technology but will also alert them to the problems and pitfalls of whose existence they need to be mindful of as they make their foray into the educational virtual worlds arena. Potential solutions and mitigating strategies for many of the common problems are suggested as well. For those who are more seasoned virtual world users, they will benefit from the evidence-based perspectives offered and from opportunities to situate their practice within the scholarly knowledge base, comparing their own experiences with those of others and learning from the stories, vignettes, insights, and reflections being shared. Novices and veterans alike will find the book valuable in helping them manufacture a sustainable business case to put forth to their managers and in their quests to champion investment in virtual worlds at their institutions. **************************************** "While ... more work is clearly needed to make learning-led design in virtual worlds even more effective, this important volume brings together the most up-to-date research and shows incremental advances in our knowledge base ... Learning is no longer a case of regurgitating facts and figures; today, we can be more creative and ambitious in what our students can experience, and we can make things come alive. This volume helps us to evaluate how important education is to us and the many ways in which we can craft learning experiences to support an individual’s development." - Professor Sara de Freitas FRSA, Pro Vice-Chancellor Learning and Teaching, Murdoch University, Australia **************************************** * Topics Covered * - Virtual worlds in pre-service teacher education - Virtual worlds in foreign language learning - Virtual worlds in library and information science - Virtual worlds in ethics training - Virtual worlds in emergency management training - Virtual worlds in technical communication education - Virtual worlds in academic staff/faculty development - Virtual worlds in music education - Virtual worlds in psychology education - Virtual worlds in architectural design education For more information about Virtual Worlds for Online Learning: Cases and Applications, and to view the Table of Contents, go to https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_idS765 (Hardcover version) or https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_idS820 (Ebook version). * About the Editors * Sue Gregory is an Associate Professor and Chair of Research in the School of Education at the University of New England, Australia, where she lectures in ICT education.

Special Issue: E-Diasporas – Living Digitally
by Yasmin Ibrahim 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue: E-Diasporas – Living Digitally SUBMISSION DUE DATE: 1 September 2015 PUBLICATION: International Journal of E-Politics OBJECTIVE OF THE THEMED ISSUE: With the growth of international (im)migration and work through digital space across time zones and in the last decade, the Internet and related wireless and mobile technologies have become crucial for members of various diasporic communities seeking to connect with both their countries of origin and their host nations. Connections are established not only through social media and email, but also through money transfers, philanthropy and business, gaming and related virtual environments. For instance Internet use facilitates information gathering efforts of (im)migrants searching for potential host countries, assist (im)migrants’ acculturation practices after migration, and advance the socio-economic development of diasporic subjects and those they may have left behind. In addition, we also have new forms of digital diaspora that occur through offshore labor forces that have their bodies in their “home” nations but work in time zones and relational socio-financial and organizational spaces that exist “in diaspora.” The co-editors of this special issue aims to understand the rhizomatic nature of migrant communities in a twenty-first century climate where the increasing use of online spaces influences the creation of diaspora politics, identity formation (or reclamation in the new nation), and the conception of new meanings of the terms ‘home’ and ‘homeland.’ Thus, this issue endeavors to expand ongoing conversations about dispersed global communities and the ways they relate with communications and information technologies. The International Journal of E-Politics is interdisciplinary so we welcome any disciplinary, theoretical or methodological approach. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: ? Emerging or new definitions of ‘e-diasporas’ ? Mobile money, financial investments, debt and e-diasporas ? The meaning of ‘home’ for dispersed populations ? The differences between ‘digital diasporas’ and ‘e-diasporas’ ? Post-colonial and subaltern ‘e-diasporas’ (Dalit, Roma, etc.) ? Online communities for leisure or play (film viewing and discussions in online spaces, gaming, creating hobby guilds, etc.) ? Political participation in ‘e-diasporas’ ? The use of online spaces to create (social and political) communities in the host nation ? Identity construction and the Internet ? Usage of social media to ‘click and connect’ with ‘home’ SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers from any field of enquiry that deals with the online politics of food broadly defined are invited to submit papers for this themed issue. All submissions are due by September 1, 2015. All queries to Radhika Gajjala, radhik(a)bgsu.edu Tori Arthur, tarthur(a)bgsu.edu Full papers to be submitted electronically, http://www.igi-global.com/submission/manuscripts/ Editors-in-Chief: Celia Romm Livermore, School of Business Administration, Wayne State University, Detroit, USA Yasmin Ibrahim, School of Business and Management, Queen Mary, University of London. Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) PUBLISHER: The International Journal of E-Politics is published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference) and “Medical Information Science Reference” imprints.
