Best regards, Francesca Musiani ------- International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) ISTANBUL 2011 EMERGING SCHOLARS NETWORK SECTION CALL FOR PAPERS The Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) invites you to participate in the 2011 International Congress of the IAMCR to be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from July 13 to 17 2011. This year’s theme is “Cities, Creativity, Connectivity”. We call for general academic papers in Communication and Media Studies as well as papers addressing the concrete conference theme. The ESN is a section dedicated to the work and careers of emerging scholars in the field of media and communication. Hence, we especially look for works in progress from graduate students and new university instructors/professors who are interested in substantial feedback and comments intended to advance their projects. The ESN organizes emerging scholar panels and joint panels with other sections. Our emerging scholar panels provide a comfortable environment for the presentation of theses and works in progress, where emerging scholars can receive feedback from colleagues also at the beginning of their careers and from senior scholars who act as respondents to individual papers. The joint panels with other sections allow for the exchange of ideas with senior scholars in the field and networking. In line with the purpose of our section, the ESN also organizes panels about issues affecting emerging scholars: - Publishing research results; - Mentoring and the Student-mentor relationship; - Academic work and academic jobs; - Neoliberalism in the academy; - Language barriers in academia. Scholars who wish to organize or contribute to an issue-related panel are welcome to contact Michael Dick at michael.dick[at]gmail.com. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES - Submissions are due February 8, 2011.

Last 2 Days to Submit Papers & Posters for JITP 2011 - "The Future of Computational Social Science" - May 16 & 17 @UW in Seattle
by Stuart Shulman 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

Last 2 Days to Submit Papers & Posters for JITP 2011 "The Future of Computational Social Science" May 16 & 17 @UW in Seattle http://www.umass.edu/jitp/ The 3rd annual, two-day Journal of Information Technology & Politics (JITP) thematic conference will be in Seattle, Washington, coordinated by the Department of Political Science and the Center for American Politics and Public Policy (CAPPP) at the University of Washington. APPROACH Computational social science is an emergent field and source of new theoretical and methodological innovation for social science more broadly. Multidisciplinary teams of social and computer scientists are increasingly common in the lab and at workshops where cross-fertilization occurs in the areas of theory, data, methods, and tools. Peer-reviewed interdisciplinary work is becoming more common as the computational tools and techniques of computer science are being used by social scientists. Previously, large-scale computational processing was the purview of expensive, university-centric computing labs. Now, with the democratization of technology, universities and for-profit firms increasingly provide large amounts of inexpensive computing power to researchers and citizens alike. It is the potential of these new computational technologies and related Web-based platforms for research, politics, and governance that led to the creation of the Journal of Information Technology & Politics. Previous special issues on "Text Annotation for Political Science" 5(1), "Politics: Web 2.0" 6(3/4), "YouTube and the 2008 Election Cycle in the United States" 7(2/3), and "The Politics of Open Source" (in production) have focused the attention of researchers on the expansive new landscape of digital democracy as well as the architecture and tools that underpin it. In their 2009 Science article, David Lazer and colleagues highlighted some of the future challenges for scholars working in this area. "Computational social science could become the exclusive domain of private companies and government agencies. Alternatively, there might emerge a privileged set of academic researchers presiding over private data from which they produce papers that cannot be critiqued or replicated. Neither scenario will serve the long-term public interest of accumulating, verifying, and disseminating knowledge." Luckily, the phenomenon of computational social science is distributed so widely and found in such variety that these scenarios are unlikely. The trends towards openness and data and tool sharing are notable breakthroughs in a sphere where proprietary approaches dominate. Data, method, and tool transparency are increasingly watchwords for governments and researchers. With this background in mind, we invite a wide range of paper submissions on the future of computational social science. Submissions may include, but are not limited to: * Applications of information theory to social science research * Methodologies and tools for studying users and information on social media services * Projects featuring novel uses of computer assisted qualitative data analysis software * Large-scale empirical analysis and modeling * Web technologies and data mining * Interdisciplinary methodologies in collaborative research * Pedagogical issues in computational social science * Computer simulations in political science education and training * Concepts from social sciences enhanced by computation, such as social network analysis * Innovation in socio-technical network and infrastructure analysis PAPER & POSTER SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to prepare and submit to JITP a research paper, policy viewpoint, workbench note, or teaching innovation manuscript by January 30, 2011. Papers accepted for publication will be invited to revise and resubmit their articles for publication in a special issue, or double issue, of JITP. Proposals for full panel presentations will also be accepted. Please contact the conference manager to discuss panels. Authors should "establish membership" at the JITP website, http://www.jitp.net, to submit a paper. Follow the instructions for regular article submissions, being sure to indicate that the paper is for JITP2011 in the comments section. Papers will be put through an expedited, blind peer review process by the Program Committee, and authors will be notified about a decision by March 1, 2011. A small number of papers will be accepted for presentation at the conference. Other paper authors will be invited to present a poster during an evening reception. Authors who wish to submit poster presentations directly should email abstracts of no more than 250 words to the conference manager ( mgoncalves(a)pubpol.umass.edu) by January 30, 2011. KEYNOTE SPEAKER JITP 2011 is pleased to welcome Jaime Teevan as the 2011 Keynote Speaker. Jaime is a researcher in the Context, Learning, and User Experience for Search (CLUES) Group at Microsoft Research. Her work explores how our digital past can help shape our future information interactions. Jaime was named a Technology Review (TR35) 2009 Young Innovator for her research on personalized search. She co-authored the first book on collaborative Web search, and is co-chair of the Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM) 2012 conference.

This question piqued an interest of my own. Does anyone currently know of any inventories, or previous research, literature reviews, etc. that deals with genre of Internet resources. More specifics are available below. Thank you all in advance. -Ian _________________________ W.

I need some help. I am building a history of personal literacy practices survey for my dissertation and I want to have online reading represented. I have a question about what kinds (you can read genre) of standard texts and graphica (comics/graphic novels) does the respondent read - see the list below. Have you ever seen this kind of genre list for online reading? it seems I would need to include a different list ...??? Help. Laura o Fiction o Current affairs or history o Historical fiction o Inspiration or religion o Science or social science o Biography/memoir o Reference, such as encyclopedias or dictionaries o Manuals for cooking, operating, repairing, or building o Poetry Other type of books? ------------------------------------------------ Michelle Schira Hagerman Doctoral Student Educational Psychology and Educational Technology Michigan State University College of Education schiraha(a)msu.edu
