24 Aug '05

I'm looking for volunteers to chair sessions at the upcoming AoIR conference. If you are willing to chair -- which means making sure speakers run on time, and helping field questions -- please email me as soon as possible. Please look at this site, and let me know what session you would like to chair. Also, let me know what days/times you could chair. I'll accommodate as best I can. http://people.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn/IR6-Conference-Layout-June05.html This site is currently quite close to the final version of the schedule despite the June date on it. I'll be posting a draft of the program shortly, as well as reissuing this page. In the meantime, it will give you the names of sessions you can select to chair. Thanks. /Caroline (AoIR Program Chair) ---------------------------------------- Caroline Haythornthwaite Associate Professor Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 East Daniel St., Champaign IL 61820

Logged on but Disaffected Symposium - University of York, 26th - 27th September 2005
by Keeble, Leigh 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Apologies for Cross-Posting Final few places available - registration closes Tuesday, 30th August. Logged On but Disaffected? Young People, Citizenship and ICTs A symposium to be held at Wentworth College, University of York, York, UK 26th -27th September 2005 Sponsored by Community Informatics Research & Applications (CIRA) University of Teesside, UK. & Department of Sociology, University of York This two day symposium brings together a number of leading scholars, policy practitioners and activists who are involved in the study and adoption of ICTs as a means to facilitate the active engagement of young people in democratic governance. The symposium aims to address such questions as: * How can ICTs be best used to facilitate active participation by young people in democratic politics? * Can ICTs become a part of citizenship education curriculum? * What kinds of online interaction facilitate effective deliberation between young people? * What kinds of ICTs are most likely to engage the hard-to-reach groups of disaffected young people? * How can ICTs enable genuine respect and involvement of young people in national and local decision-making? * Do ICTs make participation more difficult? There are a few places still available at the symposium for delegates. For more information including registration and a copy of the programme, please go to http://www.cira.org.uk/logged_on/index.htm.
