Applications Open: Nordic Nerds 2026 Reading and Mentorship Group
by me＠coryrobinson.se 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

Hello all, Applications are now open for the 2026 cohort of Nordic Nerds (https://www.nordicnerds.org/) an interdisciplinary reading and mentorship group for scholars and professionals working across culture, technology, and digital rights. I started Nordic Nerds to help create the kind of space that is often difficult to find in academic life: one that combines intellectual exchange, supportive mentorship, and genuine community. Too often, graduate students and early-career researchers are expected to navigate academic and professional development without enough informal guidance, constructive feedback, or opportunities for cross-disciplinary conversation. This group was created in response to that need. Nordic Nerds is not meant to replace graduate supervision or formal institutional mentoring. Rather, it is a small, engaged, and informal space where participants can discuss emerging research, share ideas, ask questions about academic and professional life, and support one another through mentorship and discussion. Over time, the group has developed into a community centered on thoughtful exchange, generosity, and interdisciplinary curiosity. The group is especially well suited to PhD students, postdocs, early-career researchers, and professionals with interests in areas such as AI and ethics, digital rights and privacy, internet governance, platform regulation and policy, social media and online communities, and the broader intersections of culture and technology. Meetings take place online every second week, typically in the afternoon CET. We use Zoom for meetings and Element for ongoing group communication. Members are expected to participate actively in discussions and are encouraged to contribute by helping shape readings, presenting work, offering feedback, leading discussions, and mentoring more junior participants where appropriate. As in previous years, the cohort will be intentionally small in order to foster close discussion, trust, and meaningful engagement. Because places are limited, the application process is competitive and focuses on fit, motivation, and willingness to contribute to the group community. If this sounds like a good fit for you, or for someone in your networks, applications are open here: https://forms.gle/F33jXF5iHJP8KrwM7 Please feel free to share with colleagues, students, or others who may be interested.

Rosa, Virginia Tech; Diego Vicentin; Carolina Israel, Federal University of Parana; Rodolfo Avelino, Insper; Leonardo Cruz, Federal University of Para Information, Computing and Media Technology; Decolonial and Postcolonial STS; Feminist STS The constitution of modernity is inseparable from scientific narratives that defend universality as a principle of knowledge production. Consequently, the Western technical incorporation into the bodies and territories, as taught by Indigenous and Black peoples, has become a systematic mechanism of subalternization of traditional, local, popular, and dissident knowledge. The forms of resistance that historically emerge involve multiple strategies that encompass both the preservation of knowledge, memory and identities and the technical appropriation following different sociotechnical arrangements. Given these guiding principles and the current techno-productive transformations that emerge with AI, this panel constitutes a space-time to address the relationships between digital technologies, including code, infrastructure, and their governance, as devices of bodily, epistemic, ontological, and territorial domination in Latin America, as well as the forms of resistance in their multiple configurations. Indigenous practices, maintained for centuries on the continent, are the prime example of such resistance, to which the struggles of Black and maroon populations, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, those under social vulnerability, among others, are added. Despite techno-epistemic hegemonies, Indigenous and Decolonial Science and Technology Studies (STS) emerge as a possibility for repositioning academic research in a way that is committed to a pluriversal future that respects multiple cosmotechnics and symmetrical dialogue with diverse forms of knowledge. In line with this horizon, this panel establishes among its objectives: To provide a space for debate focused on the possibilities of techno-scientific (re)making in dialogue with the pluriversality of knowledge and technologies; To reimagine code, infrastructure, and governance of digital technologies mediating human and nonhuman relations; To socialize experiences, research, and actions that aim at counterpointing hegemonic digital socio-technical relations; To share knowledge and experiences about the characteristics of Latin American techniques in the embodiment of the digital, highlighting the relationships between technique, territory, and body.

Paula Bialski on Middletech
by Ilana Gershon 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, I am so pleased to announce that there will be a CaMP reading group with Paula Bialski as the featured author in two weeks. March 27th -- Friday at noon east coast time. Paula Bialski offers us chapter 2 and the introduction for context. Please read as much as you can, but do feel free to join us even if you haven't managed to read everything. The readings can be found here: Chapters 1 and 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A3Y74RNqmkKYWqLzHC1hsLoAtZDyUlnk/view?usp=… The meeting will be at noon to 1 pm east coast time - Friday, March 27th and can be reached by clicking on this Zoom link: https://iu.zoom.us/j/949202698 <https://iu.zoom.us/j/949202698> Looking forward to seeing you all virtually, Ilana Press blurb: Contrary to much of the popular discourse, not all technology is seamless and awesome; some of it is simply “good enough.” In *Middle Tech*, Paula Bialski offers an ethnographic study of software developers at a non-flashy, non-start-up corporate tech company. Their stories reveal why software isn’t perfect and how developers communicate, care, and compromise to make software work—or at least work until the next update. Exploring the culture of good enoughness at a technology firm she calls “MiddleTech,” Bialski shows how doing good-enough work is a collectively negotiated resistance to the organizational ideology found in corporate software settings. The truth, Bialski reminds us, is that technology breaks due to human-related issues: staff cutbacks cause media platforms to crash, in-car GPS systems cause catastrophic incidents, and chatbots can be weird. Developers must often labor to patch and repair legacy systems rather than dream up killer apps. Bialski presents a less sensationalist, more empirical portrait of technology work than the frequently told Silicon Valley narratives of disruption and innovation. She finds that software engineers at MiddleTech regard technology as an ephemeral object that only needs to be good enough to function until its next iteration. As a result, they don’t feel much pressure to make it perfect. Through the deeply personal stories of people and their practices at MiddleTech, Bialski traces the ways that workers create and sustain a complex culture of good enoughness.

by Christian Fuchs 12 Mar '26

12 Mar '26

Hello, https://digital-democracy.net/d/index.php/285954 We want to invite you to participate in the second round of an expert survey that addresses a key political topic of our time: the future of democracy in the digital age and the rise of authoritarianism. The EU research project INNOVADE: Innovative Democracy through Digitalisation https://innovade-democracy.eu/ studies digital democracy. Paderborn University’s INNOVADE research team (led by Christian Fuchs) runs the Futures of Digital Democracy Survey (FDDS): hhttps://digital-democracy.net/d/index.php/285954 In round 1, digital democracy experts assessed the opportunities and risks of digital democracy. Building on the results of round 1 and reporting some of the round 1 results, we invite you to now take part in round 2 and to reflect on the round 1 results and additional topics. The focus of round 2 is the question of how (digital) society should and could look like in 2036 - desirable and undesirable digital futures and how we can achieve desirable futures and avoid undesirable ones. Participation will take around 10 minutes: https://digital-democracy.net/d/index.php/285954 The goal of the survey is to analyse how digital media experts assess the potential futures of digital society. The datasets of both survey rounds will be published as open data in the open research repository zenodo.org INNVADE will use the results of the survey as inputs to European Union policy debates on the future of democracy. We’d be happy if you were able to participate. Below you find some links to research that INNOVADE has already conducted on the topic of digital democracy.

4S Call for Abstracts: Techno-Magical Futures & Histories
by Leona Nikolic 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Dear AoIR community, I’d like to warmly invite scholars to submit paper abstracts to an open panel I’m organising at 4S 2026 (7-10 October in Toronto): Techno-Magical Futures & Histories<https://www.4sonline.org/accepted_open_panels_toronto.php> (Panel #245). The panel explores: * the historical, material, and socio-cultural dimensions of the relationship between magic and technology * efforts by Silicon Valley to position AI technologies as omniscient, god-like entities with supernatural capabilities * intersections between magic and computation; magic and technoscience * discussions including techno-magical discourses, sociotechnical imaginaries, material practices, hegemonic order, policy and regulation Scholars across various fields and disciplines are welcome to submit a 250-word abstract. The deadline is 30 April. Please see a detailed call below or at this link<https://www.4sonline.org/accepted_open_panels_toronto.php>. And please share with any colleagues who would be interested. See you in Toronto! Leona Nikolić Techno-Magical Futures & Histories There has been an effort by Silicon Valley to position AI technologies as omniscient, god-like entities with supernatural capabilities. In late 2023, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that his company’s primary mission was to create “magic intelligence in the sky” (Murgia, 2023, para. 8). Big Tech giant Google introduced overtly magical and astrological branding for its recent AI products: Genie, Gemini, and Project Astra (Hassabis, 2024; Marini, 2024). Scholars have made analogies between AI and magic or divination (Boxer, 2020; Larsson & Viktorelius, 2024; Marenko, 2019), examined magical discourse in the tech industry (Campolo & Crawford, 2020; Zhan, 2025), and explored historical relations between magic and technoscience (Hörl, 2018; Josephson-Storm, 2017; Natale, 2021). This intersection between magic and computation is not new; we can recall software ‘wizards’ of the 1990s, background computer programmes known as ‘daemons,’ and the mystically named Oracle coding software, for example. Moreover, there is a longstanding theoretical discourse on the relationship between magic and technology (Daston & Park, 1998; Dreyfus, 1965; Horkheimer & Adorno, 1947; Latour, 1988; Lévi-Strauss, 1962; Simondon, 1958; Stengers, 2000; Weber, 1920; Wiener, 1964). This panel invites researchers to consider these recent and historical interdependencies, especially in the face of contemporary techno-oligarchies. How does ‘techno-magical’ discourse shape sociotechnical imaginaries and material practices of AI? What is the relationship between technologies and the myths that they uphold? Which kinds of futures does technomagical discourse produce and how do these futures maintain or disrupt hegemonic societal order, social cohesion, and collective realities? Which theoretical perspectives can help us understand the relationship between magic, technoscience, and technopower? And how can such research contribute to policy discussions and regulatory approaches regarding questions about transparency and accountability in algorithmic decision-making? * * * Leona Nikolić | She/Her PhD Candidate, Department of Communication Studies | Concordia University Montréal, Canada | Tio'tiá:ke 2025 Doctoral Intern @ the Social Media Collective<https://socialmediacollective.org/about/> Recent Publications Book Review: Deceitful Media: Artificial Intelligence and Social Life after the Turing Test<https://doi.org/10.1177/14614448231173310> An astrological genealogy of artificial intelligence: From ‘pseudo-sciences’ of divination to sciences of prediction<https://doi.org/10.1177/13675494231164874>

Gender & Tech Talk Series – March 26, 10:00am EDT – Immigration and Techno-authoritarianism
by Jess Reia 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, The Digital Technology for Democracy Lab is pleased to announce the 9th session of the Gender & Tech Online Talk Series, scheduled for March 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The “Immigration and Techno-authoritarianism” talk will explore the role of digital technologies in the production and expansion of surveillance networks that currently impact fundamental rights, enshrine authoritarian practices in public services and processes, and deepen social inequalities worldwide. Speakers will be invited to discuss: What are the most important issues for gender minorities of the use of AI in immigration systems and border control? How do procurement and public-private partnerships facilitate the deployment of immigration surveillance systems? Are enterprises responsible for amplifying human rights violations and enabling anticipatory compliance with authoritarian/illiberal governments? What role does technology play in building support networks for immigrant communities? We are honoured to welcome two keynote speakers: Roya Pakzad (Taraaz) Ana Brian Nougrères (UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy) The webinar is free and open to the public. You can register here: https://dtdlab.virginia.edu/event/gender-tech-immigration-techno-authoritar… The Gender & Tech Online Talk Series brings together leading scholars, advocates, and practitioners to examine the intersections of gender, technology, democracy, and human rights. Its purpose is to critically explore how digital platforms and technological infrastructures impact women, queer, and gender-diverse individuals, while also identifying pathways toward more inclusive, rights-based models of digital governance. The conversation will be conducted in English, but we can facilitate questions submitted in ES, PTBR and FR. We invite everyone interested in advancing equity and justice in tech governance to participate in this important conversation. The series is sponsored by the UVA DTD Lab. Please feel free to share this announcement. Thank you!
