Seeking Distributed Research Teams to Participate in Study
by Jordan Duran 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

Dear Air-L community, Are you working in a research team that regularly meets online? We at the VICE lab (Virtual Identity, Community, and Entitativity) at UNC Charlotte are conducting a study on how distributed research teams develop and maintain their connections during and between their virtual meetings. We are currently seeking a wide variety of research teams in STEM, social sciences, and humanities to participate in this research. Research teams can have a variety of purposes including but not limited to basic research, applied research & development, grant writing, policy creation, data collection & analysis, and manuscript preparation. We prefer teams ranging from 3 and 10 people who have regular virtual meetings. Participation will include completing a series of surveys and sharing recordings of four consecutive meetings. One member of the research team will serve as our lead contact to help with coordination. If chosen to participate in the study, the team contact will receive compensation of up to $250 and each team member will receive up to $150. Please note that at this time we can only enroll teams where all members are in the United States. If you are interested, you can fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0atML-6NzsxWVpXWxa0WWPuNXYYzVJ92… Filling out the form is not a commitment to participate, it is just letting us know that you are interested in participating and a member of our lab will follow up with you individually. If you have questions, you can visit our study website https://pages.charlotte.edu/researchteams/ or contact Dr. Anita Blanchard (Anita.Blanchard(a)charlotte.edu) Kind regards, Jordan Duran VICE Lab <https://pages.charlotte.edu/virtual-communities-lab/>, UNC Charlotte Doctoral Candidate, Organizational Science Ph.D. Program

Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life
by Nathan Schneider 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Dear AoIR, Please permit me to share news about the release of my new book today, Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life. It is available from University of California Press in paperback and, most importantly, as a free, open-access ebook. Get it here<https://nathanschneider.info/govbook>. Some basics: When was the last time you participated in an election for a Facebook group or sat on a jury for a dispute in a subreddit? Platforms nudge users to tolerate nearly all-powerful admins, moderators, and “benevolent dictators for life.” In Governable Spaces, Nathan Schneider argues that the internet has been plagued by a phenomenon he calls “implicit feudalism”: a bias, both cultural and technical, for building communities as fiefdoms. The consequences of this arrangement matter far beyond online spaces themselves, as feudal defaults train us to give up on our communities’ democratic potential, inclining us to be more tolerant of autocratic tech CEOs and authoritarian tendencies among politicians. But online spaces could be sites of a creative, radical, and democratic renaissance. Using media archaeology, political theory, and participant observation, Schneider shows how the internet can learn from governance legacies of the past to become a more democratic medium, responsive and inventive unlike anything that has come before. “This visionary book points a way to scrapping capitalist realism for community control over our digital spaces. Nathan Schneider generously brings together disparate wisdom from abolitionists, Black feminists, and cooperative software engineers to spark our own imaginations and experiments.”—Lilly Irani, author of Chasing Innovation: Making Entrepreneurial Citizens in Modern India I hope this community finds it useful!

CfP IAMCR Pre-conference : Approaches to digital platforms from Latin America and other margins Social mediation, market structures, labour relations and sovereign alternatives
by Regulação UFS FAPESP 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Dears, The general theme – digital platforms as new structures of social mediation – refers to an epochal transition in the structure of social mediation from the Culture Industry of the second half of the 20th Century, based on broadcasting and other cultural sectors, such as cinema or the music industry, to the new cultural global system based on the Internet. Digital platforms constitute the present configuration of this new global system, a consequence of the processes of concentration and centralization of capital after the 2000’ dot-com crisis. Technological mediation is understood as a dialectical process of regulation of social relations in the sectors where these agents are inserted (Valente, 2021). Compared to the previous structure, it is more comprehensive, affecting the various areas of social life. As platform studies have shown, these agents, essentially American, constitute various forms of power (Khan, 2017), combining technological, economic, political, and cultural, in a scenario of precarious regulation and reinforcing their dominance in the sectors where they operate, deepening inequality between people and countries, in a scenario of capitalist crisis. The pre-conference will discuss the impacts of the development of digital platforms, considering the ensemble of these changes and the centrality of the new global system of culture in economic, political and cultural terms. For our purposes, three themes that constitute the basic methodological model of the Brazilian Political Economy of Communications (PEC) analysis will be discussed: (1) in the core level, the problem of labour, which is related to the forms of value production involved in them, the work in the production of the platforms and the labour mediated by the platforms; (2) in the microeconomic level, the relations between market structures and the strategies of relevant actors in different countries; (3) in the macro-social level, the problem of sovereign responses, considering regulation, governance, the development of public policies and community alternatives. Each theme will be discussed in one working shift, from the critical perspective of the PEC. The question will be addressed by Latin American researchers who are members of the Political Economy of Information, Communication and Culture (PEICC) group of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and the project "The economic governance of digital networks: towards an analysis of Internet markets and competition and their impact on users' rights". Latin America has a long tradition of analyses on the relationship between technology, development, and domination (Dussel, 1984). On the other hand, there are also struggles around sovereignty, which have been updated to confront the current scenario of the platforms. This pre-conference is related to the theme of decolonization proposed by IAMCR 2024. This problem will range from diagnosing the current situation to proposing measures and updating the perspective of praxis that characterizes the PEC. It will enable the debates to be shared with dozens of other group and researchers. The methodology will allow the audience to contribute, diversifying the views. Date and time: 29-30 June 2024 Location: University of Canterbury, in Christchurch. Registration, participation and submission of abstracts The pre-conference will consist of three sections. Each one will discuss one of the main themes and will have three main panelists. The pre-conference will be open to academics and civil society. Our purpose is to seek an inter-regional dialogue or exchange. If you are interested in participating in this event in person, please submit a 200-300 word abstract indicating the themes and the panel in which you intend to participate (1 - The problem of labour; 2 - Market structures and the strategies; 3 - Sovereign responses). Abstracts must include a title, author/s name, affiliation, and contact details. To take part, simply fill in the form available at: https://forms.gle/9tsdnGCZsbsw9yo99 Submission deadline: March 31, 2024. Partners Project "The economic governance of digital networks: towards an analysis of Internet markets and competition and their impact on users' rights" and the Political Economy of Information, Communication and Culture (PEICC) group of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO).
