by Marisa von Bülow 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

This Conference is of interest to many on this list. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ *COINS13: Call for Submissions When: August 11-13, 2013 Where: Santiago de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (http://www.uc.cl/) (www.coinschile.com) <https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Santiago+de+Ch…> Papers: Paper submission deadline May 15, 2013 Workshops: Proposal submission deadline May 15, 2013 Artifacts: Proposal submission deadline June 1, 2013 The Collaborative Innovation Networks Conference (COINs) invites you to submit your papers, workshop proposals, and artifacts to the 4th annual international conference to be held in Santiago de Chile, hosted by Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile from August 11 to August 13, 2013. COINS13 brings together practitioners, researchers and students of the emerging science of collaboration to share their work, learn from each other, and get inspired through creative new ideas. Conference activities will take place throughout the historic cities of Santiago and Valparaiso. Attendees will be encouraged to engage with the community, meet local entrepreneurs, artists, and designers, take a guided tour of the city, and participate in hands-on workshops and interactive sessions. Last year’s conference in Basel, Switzerland followed the success of the previous two COINS Conferences hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Collective Intelligence and Wayne State University. Where science, design, business and art meet, COINS13 looks at the emerging forces behind the phenomena of open-source, creative, entrepreneurial and social movements. Through interactive workshops, professional presentations, and fascinating keynotes, COINS13 combines a wide range of interdisciplinary fields such as social network analysis, group dynamics, design and visualization, information systems, collective action and the psychology and sociality of collaboration. The best papers will be selected for a special issue of the International Journal of Organisational Design and Engineering (IJODE; http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=IJODE) Program Chairs: Marisa Von Bülow (PUC) & Cristobal Garcia (PUC) Proceedings Chair: Peter Gloor (MIT) Learning from the Swarm The COINS13 conference committee seeks original paper submissions, creative workshop ideas and concepts, unique artifacts or installations, and engaging rapid-fire presentations celebrating the theme “Learning from the Swarm”. This year we are asking what is relevant with regard to the innovative powers of creative and civic swarms, what are the observable qualities of virtual collaboration and mobilization, and how does the quest for global cooperation affect local networks. We invite both theoretical and practice-based dialogues, case studies, scientific papers, technological solutions, research studies, and interactive artifacts that thoroughly reflect this year’s conference theme. We invite researchers and designers to submit their latest scientific results and experimental design solutions as full research papers, workshop proposals, and artifact demonstrations in the following conference themes: - Networks & Collaboration in a Global Context: Optimization through Collaboration | Teamwork through virtually enhanced Collaboration | Measuring the performance of COINs | Patterns of swarm creativity - Group Dynamics, Social Movements & Net Activism: Collaborative Learning | Collaborative Leadership | Design & visualization of interdisciplinary collaboration | Virtual Teaming - Individual & Social Learning: The psychology and sociality of collaboration and collective action | Social Behavior Modeling | Social Intelligence and Social Cognition - Tools and Methods: Social System Design and Architectures | Dynamic Social Network Analysis | Semantic Social Network Analysis | Actor Network Theory The increase of online social network communication opens up unprecedented opportunities to read the collective mind, revealing trends while they are still being hatched by small groups of creative individuals. The Web has become a mirror of the real world, allowing researchers, in fields of social & behavioral science as well as design, to study and better understand why some new ideas change our lives, while others never make it from the drawing board of the innovator. Collaborative Innovation Networks, or COINs, are cyberteams of self-motivated people with a collective vision, enabled by technology to collaborate, challenge the status-quo and innovate by sharing ideas, information, resources and work. COINs are powered by swarm creativity, wherein people work together in a structure that enables a fluid creation and exchange of ideas. ‘Coolhunting’ – the discovering, analyzing, and measuring of trends and trendsetters as well as movers and shakers – puts COINs to productive use. Below are the details and deadlines for the submission of Papers, Workshops, Artifacts, and Pecha Kucha sessions. For up to date information and additional details please visit our website: www.coinschile.com To engage with the broader COINs community, follow us on twitter @coinschileand join our Facebook page (Collaborative Innovation Networks: COINs Conference). Papers: Submission Deadline May 15, 2013 COINS13 seeks original, high-quality papers that reflect the full breadth and scope of collaboration science and design including: bold research ideas, conceptual developments, research investigations, methodological & theoretical advances, design ideas, development experiences and more. Submissions should report original research, reflections on theoretical concerns, methodological advances, or other insights that contribute to our understanding of all aspects of collaboration and help advance the state of knowledge for the community. We encourage perspectives from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. Papers should be submitted in .doc or .pdf format. Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work. Submit papers by May 15, 2013 on EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13 Important Dates: May 15, 2013 | Deadline for Paper Submissions June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the paper July 30, 2013 | Final copy for conference to publications chair August 11-13 | Paper presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile Workshops: Proposals Submission Deadline May 15, 2013 Workshops will take place during the conference and will form part of the main program. This year we are accepting proposals for both two-hour and four-hour sessions. Workshops are intended to provide a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, fostering conversation and research communities, learning from each other, exploring controversies, engaging in debate, envisioning future directions and elaborating new methods and perspectives. Workshop activities can range from open forum discussion, to demonstrations or presentations with discussion, to collaborative activities such as structured brainstorming, illustrative games or role-plays. Whatever the focus or format, organizers will be required to schedule time for conversation, reflection, discussion, and debate. Although we envision most workshop activities to take place in one setting, let us know if your workshop will venture out into other sites in Santiago. Workshop proposals should include: - a summary of 500 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop - a longer detailed description of the workshop structure, activities and goals - the names, contact information and background of the organizer(s) - the maximum number of participants you'd like to attend the workshop - anticipated A/V requirements. Please be as specific as possible as it helps us in selection, and in helping you plan the workshop. Workshop participants will be registered on a first come first served basis by the conference committee, so the workshop organizers will not be able to select their participants. Accepted workshops will be publicized via the COINS13 website within a month after organizers are notified. Workshop organizers will also be encouraged to promote COINS13 and their workshops to potential attendees. Submit proposals by May 15, 2013 to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13. Additionally, please include your email address and other contact details. Important Dates: May 15, 2013 | Deadline for workshop Submissions June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the paper August 11-13 | Workshop at COINS13, Santiago, Chile Artifacts: Proposals Submission Deadline June 1, 2013 The artifacts category seeks to provide participants with an opportunity to present work in a forum that facilitates open discussion and enables direct interaction with conference attendees. A dedicated session will be held during the conference to present the artifacts. Artifacts can be anything from design sketchbooks, to reformed organizational processes, to ads you’ve produced, to products you’ve made, to short films, to conceptual objects, etc. We encourage submissions that are thought provoking and visually engaging, and which cover exploratory/speculative work, smaller projects, unusual representations of ethnographic work, and so on. The form of the presented materials is open. In keeping with the category title artifacts though, we encourage submissions based on some material instantiation that can be exhibited at the conference. Our hope is that it will be the ‘thinginess’ of the artifacts that will, in part, prompt interaction with and between conference attendees. Submissions should include a single page describing or illustrating the proposed submission (the one page inclusive of any and all figures and references, where appropriate). This page should convey to reviewers what the artifact being submitted is and how it is hoped to provoke discussion. The page will also be included in the published conference proceedings. Also included in the submissions should be a paragraph and image (no more that 150 words) that can be displayed on the conference website. Please submit these submission materials by June 1, 2013 to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13 Additionally, please include your email address and other contact details. Important Dates: June 1, 2013 | Deadline for artifacts Submissions June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the artifact. Accepted submissions will have their 150 word descriptions posted on the COINS13 website. Descriptions (including images) of accepted artifacts will be published in the COINS13 Proceedings. July 30, 2013 | Final papers due August 11-13 | artifacts presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile. The artifact itself should be transported to Santiago for the conference.

Couch Award 2013
by Mark D. Johns 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

CALL FOR AWARD APPLICATIONS Carl J. Couch Internet Research Award 2013 Sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research http://www.cccsir.com/ The Carl Couch Center issues an international call for student-authored papers to be considered for Carl J. Couch Internet Research Award. The Couch Center welcomes both theoretical and empirical papers that apply symbolic interactionist approaches to internet studies. According to basic symbolic interactionist premises, what we understand as self, identity, relationship, and cultural formations are constructed dialogically and interactively. While the works of George H. Mead, Georg Simmel, Erving Goffman and other leading symbolic interactionists have been integral to the study of social interaction, Carl Couch was among the first from this tradition to suggest the importance of engaging in the study of mediated interaction. It is critical that symbolic interactionists move boldly forward, beyond Couch's initial suggestion, to study what has become for many a dominant form of communication in their everyday life. Whether we research identities, emotion, memory, family, work, career, presentations of self, deception, love, loss or other areas, the impact of mediated communication is felt by those interacting within it. As internet-related media continue to influence our everyday interactions--not only with other people but also with technologies, devices, algorithms, platform parameters, and so forth--it becomes crucial for symbolic interactionists to attend to the role of these mediating factors in the interaction process. We encourage any paper that uses a symbolic interactionist approach in internet studies. We also encourage papers that explore the interface between deliberate social interaction and structured (or automated) interactions sponsored or enacted by various technological features, exploring not only how identities, relations, and social formations are negotiated through social interactions, but also how these interactions are mediated further through the use or capacities of various technologies. Papers will be evaluated based on the quality of (1) mastery of symbolic interactionist approaches and concepts, (2) originality, (3) organization, (4) presentation, and (5) advancement of knowledge. Those contemplating entering should note that an interactionist approach demands thoughtful analysis, and not mere description, of social interactions. Evaluation will be administered by a Review Committee of four: Mark D. Johns, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa Jennifer Dunn, Texas Tech University, Lubbock Annette Markham, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Lois Ann Scheidt, Indiana University, Bloomington Competition is open to graduate or undergraduate students of all disciplines. Works that are published or accepted for publication are not eligible for award consideration. Entries should be in English and not exceed 30 pages (approximately 7500 words) in length, including references and appendices. Limit of one entry per student per year. The top paper will receive Couch Award to be presented at the 2013 meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers (aoir.org) at the University of Denver. The top paper will be awarded a certificate and a cash prize of $300 US and the author will be invited to present their work at a session of the AoIR conference, October 24-27, 2013 in Denver, Colorado, USA. Candidates should send a copy of their paper, with a 100-word abstract, electronically to Mark Johns at mjohns(a)luther.edu Application deadline is May 15, 2013. Notification of award will be sent by June 15. Those with questions or comments about Couch Award application, please contact: Mark D. Johns Communication Studies Luther College, Decorah, Iowa Phone: 563-387-1347 E-mail: mjohns(a)luther.edu

Call for Book Chapters - Networked China: Global Dynamics of Digital Media and Civic Engagement
by wenhong chen 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Dear colleagues, Happy New Year! My colleague Dr. Stephen Reese and I are co-editing the book Networked China: Global Dynamics of Digital Media and Civic Engagement (Routledge, 2014). Please feel free to forward the call for book chapters - below and attached - to interested groups. best, Wenhong ********************* CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS********************* Networked China Global Dynamics of Digital Media and Civic Engagement Call for Book Chapters for the New Agendas in Communication Series Co-editors Wenhong Chen, Assistant Professor, Department of Radio-TV-Film Stephen D. Reese, Professor, School of Journalism College of Communication, the University of Texas at Austin Aim and Scope The Internet and digital media have become conduits and locales where millions of Chinese share information and engage in creative expression and social participation. The Arab Spring and the relative lack of comparable social upheaval in China highlight once again the importance of understanding the implications of digital media and technologies for civic life in the social and historical context. Yet, compared to their growing prevalence and significance, research on the contingent, non-linear, and sometimes paradoxical impacts of digital media and technologies in Chinese societies remain theoretically underdeveloped and empirically understudied. Departing from previous studies centered on censorship or online activism, the proposed volume aims to cast a wider net and explores how people navigate, negotiate, and transform social landscapes rooted in the Chinese context, revealing both the power and limitations of the Internet and other new communication technologies. Chapter authors are encouraged to update prevailing theoretical frameworks and revisit the prosumption of digital media and their implications for globalization, transnational networks and public life. In calling for theory-driven empirical research with scholarly and policy relevance, we welcome chapters engaging with diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, especially interdisciplinary and comparative research. Chapters will be organized around three interrelated themes: digital media access and use, transnational/global networks, and civic engagement. 1. Mapping the Terrain / Digital Media Practices: What are the patterns of digital media access and use in China? What are the impacts of persistent censorship and aggressive marketization? 2. Exploring Glocalized Transnational Networks: What are the patterns of glocalized, transnational networks straddling boundaries of geography, identities, and issues? How do digital technologies and media allow local actors to form these networks in the cloud and on the ground? How does access to and memberships in such networks vary by class, gender, generation, urban-rural location, as well as differential digital media skills and literacy? How does this restructuring work to subvert and transcend traditional social and official hierarchies? 3. Understanding Civic Engagement Online and Offline: How do digital mediated communication and interactions contribute to an informed, connected, and engaged public in China? To what extent do digital media and technologies facilitate transparency and enhance the visibility of oppressed groups, particularly compared with print and broadcast media under tighter government control? To what extent do glocalized transnational networks affect access to and mobilization of resources for social development and changes? Conference The New Agendas in Communication Series is a conference and publication initiative of the College of Communication, the University of Texas at Austin. It aims to call attention to important emerging new areas of study, stimulate needed forms of intellectual inquiry, accelerate the research careers of the conference participants, build community across disciplinary divides for an important young cohort, and produce edited volumes appealing to a broad audience. Contributors should be junior scholars, including recently tenured associate professors, assistant professors, and advanced doctoral students. Single-authored work is preferable, but co-authorship is acceptable as long as all are junior scholars. Selected authors will be invited to participate in the Networked China: New Agendas conference at the University of Texas at Austin to present and help strengthen each others work for publication. As such, a full draft chapter submission is required from participants prior to the conference. Travel and lodging expenses will be supported. Logistics and timeline The book will be published in the New Agendas in Communication Series (Routledge) in 2014, 250-300 pages, with 8-12 chapters. A 300-500 word abstract should be sent to wenchen2006(a)gmail.com by March 1, 2013. Initial screening decisions will be made by April 1, 2013. Authors of accepted abstracts will be expected to submit a full chapter two weeks prior to the conference, to be held in Austin in the third week of October 2013.

Ola a todos! Este Caderno da Cultura Digital foi escrito em 2009. Ele faz parte do Ministério da Educação e foi elaborado para auxiliar as práticas educativas nas escolas do Brasil. Veja um pequeno resumo: "O Caderno Pedagógico intitulado Cultura Digital é parte da Série de Cadernos vinculados ao Programa Mais Educação – MEC e tem por objetivo apresentar alguns exemplos e informações aos monitores, professores e gestores da escola no sentido de oferecer possibilidades de tensionar uma prática escolar refratada pela Cultura Digital em todos os campos da vida, seja do espaço escolar ou não. Ele se encontra diretamente entrecruzado com todos os Cadernos Pedagógicos do Programa Mais Educação muito especialmente por ser ele um tema contextual, o da cultura hoje em um cotidiano que é também digital. O Caderno Cultura Digital é destinado aos que se interessam em pensar a escola integral nas suas múltiplas formas de ser e habitar a contemporaneidade, na tentativa de problematizar formas de pensar as comunidades hoje, na relação de todos para todos, considerando o compartilhamento de experiências, se expandindo do mais próximo e enraizado para o mais distante e virtual. A internet, assim como a própria Cultura Digital, por ser dinâmica e se comportar como um organismo vivo que renova seu tecido celular constantemente, nos apresenta um desafio enorme na escrita deste Caderno Pedagógico e temos a certeza de que este documento se atualizará nas práticas educativas de nossos leitores. Esperamos contribuir não só para o tensionamento de conceitos e experiências, mas também para a continuidade dos estudos, reflexões e práticas atravessadas pela Cultura de uso Digital."

Dear Colleagues, Hopefully you can help us in spreading the word: The School where our Game Research Lab is located has opened a call for five PhD positions (1-4 years), and we are of course interested to see good applications from those working on game and internet studies areas. - Frans The School of Information Sciences (SIS) at the University of Tampere invites applications for FIVE DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITIONS. The positions are for a fixed-term of one to four years. Successful candidates may accept the position by 1 August 2013 at the earliest. Successful candidates will pursue a doctoral degree in one of the doctoral programmes of the School of Information Sciences at the University of Tampere. More information about the three doctoral programmes of the School of Information Sciences can be found at the School's website. Full-time doctoral studies are expected to be completed in four years. Fixed-term contracts can be drawn up for a period of one to four years; the length of the contract depends on how far along in their studies the successful candidates are and when they expect to graduate. The personal study and supervision plans of doctoral students define the terms of their dissertation work and are used to monitor their progress annually. The personal study and supervision plan includes a detailed annual working schedule. In addition to the dissertation work, doctoral students teach or participate in other tasks connected to their studies at the School. These duties must equal to a maximum of five per cent of total working hours. Successful candidates must have a higher university degree, be currently pursuing a doctoral degree in one of the Schools doctoral programmes and have their study and research plan approved, before writing the contract. If the candidate does not have a right to pursue a doctoral degree at the School of Information Sciences, the candidate must apply it at the same time when applying for the salaried doctoral student position. Successful candidates are selected on the basis of how promising they are academically. This is evaluated on the basis of their study and research plans and previous academic success.

2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies (DSST) Summer Institute
by Brian Butler 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies (DSST) Summer Institute (a joint effort of the Consortium for Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST) and the Summer Social Webshop) July 28 – August 1, 2013 University of Maryland -- College Park, Maryland USA APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 5, 2013 MOOCs, Education and learning; personal health and well-being; open innovation, eScience, and citizen science; co-production, open source, and new forms of work; cultural heritage and information access; energy management and climate change; civic hacking, engagement and government; disaster response; cybersecurity and privacy – these are just a few problem domains where effective design and robust understanding of complex sociotechnical systems is critical. To meet these challenges a trans-disciplinary community of scholars has come together from fields as wide ranging as CSCW, HCI, social computing, organization studies, information visualization, social informatics, sociology, information systems, medical informatics, computer science, ICT for development, education, learning science, journalism, and political science. Through summer institutes (CSST), extended workshops (Social Webshop), preconference workshops at a wide variety of venues, and other activities (Digital Societies and Technology Research Coordination Network) this community of researchers from academia and industry has developed a strong focus on problems and opportunities arising from the interplay of social and technological systems which span individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. The 2013 Summer Institute builds on this tradition to strengthen and expand this diverse community by bringing together graduate students, post doctoral students, faculty, and other researchers in four groups at the University of Maryland, College Park on July 28-August 1: Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers – Through mentoring, peer networking, and skill-building tutorials, doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers will identify substantive ways that the theories, approaches, and tools within the larger community can advance their work with the design and study of sociotechnical systems. Established researchers – Prior summer institute/workshop participants and established researchers will network with other researchers (senior and junior), explore ideas and new directions, shape emerging research agendas, articulate critical challenges, and share knowledge about practices, tools, and approaches which have the potential to advance the design and study of sociotechnical systems. Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams – Nascent groups of researchers seeking to develop cross-disciplinary collaborations will work with peers and mentors to refine problem statements and research goals; connect with collaborators with complementary skills and interests; and create actionable research agendas and funding proposals. Preference will be given to groups interested in designing and studying sociotechnical systems that address societal grand challenges such as (but not limited to) healthcare; energy management and climate change; cybersecurity and privacy; education and learning; disaster response; technology development and innovation; economic development and work; and civic engagement and participation. Research infrastructure development teams – Groups of researchers interested in creating computational or analytic tools, data resources, training materials or other infrastructure to support the design and study of sociotechnical systems will work with one another, other Summer institute participants, and local developers. These infrastructure “hackathon” sessions will result in the creation of use cases, prototypes, draft materials, and when possible deployable systems and resources. APPLYING FOR DSST 2013 Applications are encouraged from all academic, industry, NGO, and public sector organizations worldwide. To apply for the 2013 Summer Institute, select the group that best fits your needs and situation and send the appropriate materials to the Summer Institute co-coordinator (Brian Butler) at bsbutler(a)umd.edu by April 5th, 2013: * Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers should send their CV and a short (~ 1 page) response to: “How does/will your work advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?” Several core references should be included to situate your work within the larger research community. Doctoral students should also provide a letter of recommendation from their advisor/department chair indicating their expected graduation date. * Established researchers should send their CV and a short (~ 1 page) response to: “What are the most interesting challenges and opportunities related to the design and study of critical sociotechnical systems? What activity (30 minutes to 4 hours long) could you run that would help the Summer Institute participants better engage these challenges and opportunities?” Proposed activities can be for any (or all) Summer Institute participants and might include, but are not limited to: focused presentations; brainstorming sessions; in-depth problem descriptions; method, tool, or data tutorials; or research agenda setting exercises. * Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (~ 1 page) response to: “What is the research focus/problem domain? What types of activities/studies are needed to engage that domain? How will pursuing this agenda help advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?” References potential funding sources can be included, if known, to situate the proposal within the larger research community. Groups invited to the Summer Institute will have between 4-6 people. However, only 3 individuals need to be part of an application for it to be considered (assistance will be provided prior to the Summer Institute to help invited teams recruit additional participants as needed). Preference will be given to cross-institutional teams in which junior/mid-career researchers play significant leadership roles. * Research infrastructure development teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (~ 1 page) response to: “What is the problem you are seeking to address? What will you do to address that problem? How will creating these technologies, tools, materials or infrastructure improve our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?” References to examples from other domains can be included to situate your proposal. Teams invited for the Summer Institute will have between 4-6 people from multiple disciplines and institutions. However, only 3 individuals need to be part of an application to be considered (assistance will be provided prior to the Summer Institute to help invited teams recruit additional participants as needed). Lodging, meals, and other onsite costs will be covered for all Summer Institute participants. Limited travel support is available, if needed, for participants from US and Canadian institutions (with preference given to doctoral and post-doctoral students). Travel support may also be available for other Summer Institute participants. To be considered for all available financial support you should provide the following information when you apply: * What college, university, or organization are you affiliated with? * What is your primary department affiliation? * If you are applying from a Canadian university, are you a member of the GRAND network? Materials should be sent to Summer Institute co-coordinator (Brian Butler) at bsbutler(a)umd.edu by April 5th, 2013. Applications will be reviewed by the Summer Institute Advisory Group beginning April 6th, 2013 using the following criteria: * Clear articulation of the hoped-for contribution to the theory, practice, or design of sociotechnical systems * Likelihood of Summer Institute participation providing significant practical benefit for the individual/team * Contribution to a balanced and diverse group of participants The number of participants selected will depend on the available funding and the fit between applicants’ interests and goals.
