29 Nov '24

*Webinar, December 3rd: **Towards People-Centred Digital Health Strategies: Gender, Rights and Participation* Join for an exciting conversation to launch the Digital Health and Rights Project’s participatory action research study into digital health, and learn about our new report <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/digital-health-rights/publ…> with youth activists and WHO! Digital Health and Rights Project <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/digital-health-rights/>is doing transnational participatory action research on digital health and human rights with hundreds of young adults in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya and Vietnam. We’ll introduce our innovative model of research and governance with a researcher from Vietnam and members of a national community advisory team in Kenya, with major findings coming out next year. We are also thrilled to launch our new report reviewing gender equality and human rights in 20 national digital health strategies <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/digital-health-rights/publ…> . In 2021, the World Health Assembly approved the *Global Digital Health Strategy 2020-25* to promote a coordinated and equitable digital transformation of health. Objective 4 of the strategy emphasizes the importance of addressing gender equality and health equity to ensure digital technologies work for all. Working with the World Health Organisation, we reviewed how 20 national strategies address gender, inclusion and rights and have recommendations to WHO, national governments, international organisations, and civil society. *Event Details:* - *Date:* Tuesday, 3rd December 2024 - *Time:* 14:00 – 15:00 UK time - *Register here for the link <https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/6d986cbb-3b56-48eb-ad52-f65f0f3c0c…>* *Speakers*: - *Meg Davis, Principal Investigator, Digital Health and Rights Project, University of Warwick* - *Hoang Le Tu, Researcher, Vietnam Network of People Living with HIV (VNP+)* - *Franco Serra, Researcher, University of Oxford* - *James Kiilu, Kenya-Community Advisory Team **(**K-CAT**)* - *Tahani Alabdah, **Technical Officer, Department of Digital Health and Innovation, **World Health Organization** (WHO)* Moderated by *Tabitha Ha**, Co-director of Advocacy, **STOPAIDS* *Jack Wilson*, *Postdoctoral fellow,* *University of Warwick*, chat host About the Digital Health and Rights Project: *https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/digital-health-rights-backup/ <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/digital-health-rights-back…>* Sign up for our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hTphqz Follow us on X/Twitter <https://x.com/DigHealthRights>and LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-health-and-rights-project/posts/?f…> Funders: Fondation Botnar, University of Warwick ESRC Impact Acceleration Accounts -- Sara (Meg) Davis Professor, Digital Health and Rights Director, Research and Impact Principal Investigator, Digital Health and Rights Project <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/digital-health-rights/> *Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies** | **University of Warwick* Associated Researcher *Global Governance Centre** | **Geneva Graduate Institute* Book: The Uncounted: Politics of Data in Global Health <https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/uncounted/C0CC81C0F03D1822D05C13EE31FA…> Ted talk: The Uncounted: The people left out of health data <https://www.ted.com/talks/sara_meg_davis_the_uncounted_the_people_left_out_…> Pronouns: She, hers -- *Sara (Meg) Davis, Ph.D.* *Research Associate, *Global Governance Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute *Professor,* Digital Health and Rights, University of Warwick Digital Health and Rights Project <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/research-projects/digital-…> Book: *The Uncounted: Politics of Data in Global Health <https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/uncounted/C0CC81C0F03D1822D05C13EE31FA…>* Ted talk: The Uncounted: The people left out of health data <https://www.ted.com/talks/sara_meg_davis_the_uncounted_the_people_left_out_…>

Internet Linguistics Survey
by Katelynne Shimkus 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Dear all at AIR-L, I am a graduate student of English Linguistics and Literature at KU Leuven in Belgium, and I am writing my Masters Thesis on internet language. As part of my research, I've created a survey (my first!) using Google Forms <https://forms.gle/W5pCBxFL2Ea11L7k7> to gather sociolinguistic information about who is (and isn't) using a particular word that I believe emerged and spread online. This survey should only take 5-10 minutes and will not capture your email nor any personally identifiable information. I am hoping as many people as possible take it, even if they are not familiar with the word I'm researching - the more data, the better. As such, please feel empowered to share the survey link if you find the topic interesting - I will be collecting responses for at least a month. Google Forms URL: https://forms.gle/W5pCBxFL2Ea11L7k7 Feel free to contact me at my academic email ( Katelynne.Shimkus(a)student.kuleuven.be) with any questions, concerns, or other interest. My immense gratitude to all those who choose to participate. *Katelynne Shimkus* *Master of English Linguistics and Literature, 2024-2025* *KU Leuven*

CFP: Social Media, Religion, and Culture edited Volume
by Dheepa Sundaram 27 Nov '24

27 Nov '24

Hi AOIR friends! Apologies for cross-posting. Please see the below CFP for an edited volume titled Social Media, Religion, and Culture (under contract with Routledge Press) Social Media, Religion, and Culture Call for Papers Editors: Dheepa Sundaram, University of Denver (dheepa.sundaram(a)du.edu) Cindy Tekobbe, University of Illinois-Chicago (ctek(a)uic.edu) Timeline: Submit a 300-word abstract and title by Dec 16, 2024. Also include name and affiliation (if any). Submit Proposals here: https://forms.gle/kqMWtHwBnN3Xd6ef7 Selected authors will be notified by January 10, 2025. 4000 word essays should be submitted to authors by July 31, 2025. Peer-review of chapters is available upon request. Full CFP and Description of the Volume: https://www.smrce.org/social-media-religion-and-culture-open-access Overview: Social media platforms are the modern public square, supporting and fostering publics and counterpublics (Castells 1996; Warner 2001). Networked counter/publics, as social technologies (Marres 2017), both reflect analog spaces and provide digital contact between ideologies, religious practices, political thought, and cultures. This volume delves into the cultural production apparatus of social media (Bourdieu 1983; Baym 2010). It also builds on earlier work on social media, religion, and digital culture, including conceptualizations of internet religion (Cowan and Hadden 2000; Basher, 2004; Hoover, 2006), religion, media, and branding (Einstein 2007) and digital religion and new media (Helland, 2002; Campbell, 2010, 2013), digital rituals and games (Wagner 2013; Campbell and Grieve (2014), religious authority online (Hoover 2016) and more recently, digital religion and third space (Echchaibi and Hoover 2023). Digital cultural studies and new media have progressed to consider how identity and intersectional politics impact digital spaces such as histories and imaginaries of software (Chun 2013); race, media, technology (Nakamura 2000, 2002, 2007, 2011; Browne 2015; Benjamin 2019a; Noble 2018; Buolawini 2023), digital iterations of gender and sexuality (O’Riordan and Phillips 2007; Cardenas 2022) and internet activism, social justice networks, and digital surveillance (Jackson, Bailey, and Welles 2020; Benjamin 2019b, 2024, Browne 2024). We are seeking contributions for our volume on social media, religion, and culture, with a focus on scholars/scholarship of the global south. This volume seeks to bring together “religion” and “culture” as broad, discursive fields within social media specifically and digital platforms more generally to understand how publics, communities, and meaning-making mechanisms are formed, how they interact with the analog world, and how the affordances of social media enable new iterative aspects of canon, praxis, and affinity. In this sense, “religion” includes institutional and non-institutional spiritual, devotional, and canonical traditions and beliefs, as well as, more broadly, the communities of practice that form in social media spaces. We engage the term “culture” to mean the affinities that form within social media spaces, which include narratives of belonging, spiritual connections, activism, political imagination, shared histories and stories, traditional teachings of identity, and other practices that serve to knit together communities. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): The role of AI in cultural production and/or religious identity AI, technosalvationism, and/or technolibertarianism AI, capitalism, and culture AI, labor, and religion Religion/Culture, brands, and social media Religion/Culture, identity, and social networks, platform moderation Religion, ethnonationalism, and social media Digital hate cultures and social media LGBTQIA+ activism, religion, and social media; particular interest in Transgender communities, identities, solidarities, activism and social media Black religions, cultures, and social networks Areligious, agnosticism, atheism, and “nones” and social media Race/Racialization, religion/culture, and social networking Anti-caste activism, publics, social networks, and solidarities Islamophobia and social networks Indigenous sacred spaces, rituals, communities and social networks Religious traditions, rituals, cultural practices, identities, communities, publics, and social networks. Religious affinity groups on social media platforms Social media, fascist politics, religion/culture Religion, environmentalism, identity and social media Intersections of social media and democracy Social media, memes, and identity Social media activism and affinity groups Social media, Indigenous cultures and communities, and identity Publics, counterpublics, and micropublics on social media Social media devotional publics and networks Global gurus and cultural influencers Meaning-making mechanisms and social media Social media cultural production Intersections between social media, religion, and capitalism Social media art and activism Digital canons and social media Social media and political religion Indigenous art, social media platforms, and commerce Virality, social media, and cultural movements Please contact Dheepa Sundaram (dheepa.sundaram(a)du.edu) and Cindy Tekobbe (ctek(a)uic.edu) with any questions. We look forward to receiving your proposals! Thank you!

27 Nov '24

-------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS HHAI 2025 - Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence https://hhai-conference.org/2025/ June 9–13, 2025, Pisa, Italy -------------------------------------------------- Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) is an international conference series that focuses on the study of Artificial Intelligence systems that cooperate synergistically, proactively and purposefully with humans, amplifying instead of replacing human intelligence. HHAI aims for AI systems that work together with humans, emphasizing the need for adaptive, collaborative, responsible, interactive and human-centered intelligent systems. HHAI systems leverage human strengths and compensate for human weaknesses, while taking into account social, ethical and legal considerations. HHAI 2025 will be held on June 9–13, 2025, in Pisa, Italy, and is the fourth conference in the series. The HHAI field is driven by developments in AI, but it also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Thus, we encourage collaborations across research domains such as AI, HCI, cognitive and social sciences, philosophy and ethics, complex systems, and others. In this fourth international conference, we invite scholars from these fields to submit their best original – new as well as in progress – works, and visionary ideas on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. **Join the HHAI community and keep up with the news:** Website: https://hhai-conference.org/2025/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hhai-conference/ X: https://x.com/hhai_conference Mastodon: https://sigmoid.social/@hhai IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: January 17th, 2025 Paper submission: January 24th, 2025 Acceptance notification: March 16th, 2025 Camera-ready version: April 13th, 2025 Conference: June 9-13, 2025 LOCATION HHAI 2025 will be an in-person, single-track conference organized in Pisa, Italy. Workshops and tutorials (9-10 June) will be held at the University of Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy. The main conference (11-13 June) will be held at CNR. TOPICS We invite research on different challenges in Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. The following list of topics is illustrative, not exhaustive: - Human-AI interaction, interpretation and collaboration - Adaptive human-AI co-learning and co-creation - Learning, reasoning and planning with humans and machines in the loop - User modeling and personalisation - Integration of learning and reasoning - Transparent, explainable, and accountable AI - Fair, ethical, responsible, and trustworthy AI - Societal awareness of AI - Multimodal machine perception of real-world settings - Social signal processing - Representations learning for Communicative or Collaborative AI - Symbolic representations for human-centric AI - Human-AI Coevolution - Foundation models and humans - Human cognition-aware AI - Decentralized human-AI systems - Reliability and robustness in human-AI systems - Applications of hybrid human-AI intelligence We welcome contributions about all types of technology, from robots and conversational agents to multi-agent systems and machine learning models. PAPER TYPES In this conference, we wish to stimulate the exchange of novel ideas and interdisciplinary perspectives. To do this, we will accept three different types of papers: - Full papers present original, impactful work (12 pages excluding references) - Blue sky papers present visionary ideas to stimulate the research community (8 pages excluding references) - Working papers present work in progress (8 pages excluding references) Accepted full papers and Blue sky papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence, in the Frontiers of AI series by IOS Press. Working papers can be included in these proceedings, unless the authors request the paper to remain unpublished. REVIEWING PROCESS & SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions of full, blue-sky, and working papers should be original work without substantial overlap with pre-published papers. All submissions should adhere to IOS formatting guidelines. Papers should be written in English and detailed submission instructions can also be found here. **Important** HHAI 2025 will follow a double-blind reviewing process. Thus, submissions must exclude all information that might disclose the authors’ names or affiliations. All studies involving human participants should have received human-research ethics consent from the relevant institutions and mention this in the paper. Work should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair (link to be announced soon). On acceptance, at least one author should attend the conference. A significant contribution is expected from all authors. PROGRAM CHAIRS Chiara Boldrini (IIT-CNR, IT) Luca Pappalardo (ISTI-CNR, IT) Andrea Passerini (University of Trento, IT) Shenghui Wang (University of Twente, NL) CONFERENCE CHAIRS Michela Milano (University of Bologna, IT) Dino Pedreschi (University of Pisa, IT) Stuart Russell (University of California Berkeley, US) Ilaria Tiddi (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, NL) CONTACT INFORMATION For questions, you can reach the program chairs at: program(a)hhai-conference.org
