rccs redesign
by david silver 23 Sep '02

23 Sep '02

Folks, I'm excited to report that the beta version of the new site redesign for the Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies is up and running. Enjoy ... http://www.com.washington.edu/rccs As you might notice, it is almost entirely database driven which means that in the near future we will be able to organize the existing content, especially the book reviews, in new and interesting ways. Moreover, two pages -- Courses in Cyberculture and Events & Conferences -- have been fully automated which means that users can input relevant information regarding their own courses, events, conferences, etc. REQUEST FOR HELP FROM AIR FOLK: Please visit the site and feel free to input your courses and conferences. Thank you! The redesign has been a collaborative project and made possible by the energy and ideas of many folks. First, I wish to thank Jeff Tycz, Martin McGee, and Nectarine Design (http://www.nectarinedesign.com/) for the principal design and programming work. Next, I want to thank Jerry Baldasty, Tony Giffard, and the Department of Communication at the University of Washington who provided a Trust Fund Award that made the design work possible. I also want to thank John Klockner, also of UW's Department of Communication, who has been tireless in helping to launch the site. I hope you enjoy the new redesign, and I look forward to seeing many of you in Maastricht! david silver http://faculty.washington.edu/dsilver/

Privacy in Digital Environments: Empowering Users (CSCW Workshop CFP)

I sent this out a few months back, but i thought i'd send it again as the deadline is pending. ----------------------------- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Privacy in Digital Environments: Empowering Users a Workshop at CSCW 2002 November 16, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Organizers: danah boyd (MIT Media Lab, zephoria(a)media.mit.edu) Carlos Jensen (Georgia Tech, carlosj(a)cc.gatech.edu) Scott Lederer (UC Berkeley, lederer(a)cs.berkeley.edu) David Nguyen (Georgia Tech, dnguyen(a)cs.gatech.edu) More Details: http://smg.media.mit.edu/cscw2002-privacy/ Position Paper Deadline: September 27, 2002 Submissions to: cscw2002-privacy(a)media.mit.edu ABSTRACT People are deeply concerned about their privacy, and are quite adept at defining limits and maintaining barriers in the physical world. Yet, in the digital world we are no longer good privacy managers. Our motivation and interest do not disappear in the transition from the physical to the digital; the systems we use strip us of the power to become effective privacy managers. Often these failures are attributable to us as designers and developers; our systems do not always provide access to information users need to make informed decisions about their privacy. At other times we overload users with too much information, making managing their privacy too much of a burden. As system designers, we have paid little attention to protecting user privacy, and even less to empowering them to take charge of their own privacy. This workshop seeks to address the privacy needs and concerns of users in the design of digital environments, whether they be websites, collaborative calendar systems, collaborative work environments, online communities, communications systems or ubiquitous computing environments. Each of these settings faces real and pressing challenges when it comes to protecting user privacy. We shall seek answers to the following questions: What can we, as designers, do to increase user awareness of what our environments are doing and how user information is collected and used? How can we empower users to manage the ways in which they are represented in the environments or to limit their exposure when needed? We seek a balanced group, composed of social scientists, technologists, designers, legal and policy experts, and others with demonstrable interest or experience in privacy-aware or identity-management technologies in existing or emerging digital environments.
