Blockchain Scenes - New issue of Journal of Digital Social Research
by Nathalie Casemajor 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

We are delighted to announce that “Blockchain Scenes,” a special issue of the Journal of Digital Social Research, has just been published in open access. Natalie Casemajor and Will Straw ... *Blockchain Scenes* *Journal of Digital Social Research* Guest editors : Nathalie Casemajor (INRS) and Will Straw (McGill University) https://jdsr.se/ojs/index.php/jdsr/issue/view/14 Over the last fifteen years, the development of blockchain technologies has attracted a large volume of professional expertise, capital investment and media attention. This burgeoning sector of technology practices has coalesced around a few major initiatives (Bitcoin, Ethereum), but it is still moving at a fast pace and its configuration is evolving. If this sector is marked by a variety of technological protocols, financial arrangements and organizational forms, it is also a site of social effervescence. Parties, meet-ups, and the sorts of informal socializing which gather around events and networks of all kinds function to endow the blockchain sector with the characteristics of what, in cultural analysis, are often called “scenes”. The aim of this special issue is to examine the interest of the notion of scene for the analysis of blockchain practices. _Table of contents_ Nathalie Casemajor, Will Straw "Blockchain Scenes: A Research Agenda" Victoria Lemieux, Nigel Dodd "‘Life World’ on Ledger: A ‘Scenic’ View" Betty Bozoma Blay Ackah "Ghana’s blockchain scene on WhatsApp : A space for convergence and divergence" Jiaxi Hou "Making Ends Meet by Mining on Blockchain: Subalternity, Materiality, and Yearnings of Chinese Amateur Crypto-miners Julie Frizzo-Barker "Women on the Block: A Technofeminist Discourse Analysis of Blockchain Meetups, Conferences, and Hackathons" Régis Barondeau, Axel Guitton, Shima Masoumi, Pablo Aceiton Campos "A First Glance at the NFT Quebec Gaming Scene" … For more information, get in touch with nathalie.casemajor(a)inrs.ca or william.straw(a)mcgill.ca … Independent.

Call For Posters, ACM IMC 2023, Montréal, Canada, Abstract submission deadline: July 21, 2023
by Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou 04 Jul '23

04 Jul '23

Call For Posters, ACM IMC 2023, Montréal, Canada The 2023 Internet Measurement Conference will include a poster session. Topics of interest include all topics listed on the general IMC 2023 call-for-papers. The poster track is an opportunity for researchers to discuss their early/ongoing work, tools, and datasets with attendees of IMC. The goal of the IMC Poster session is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas with peers from the community. We look for early work of interest to the community, even if it is not yet complete, and for tools or datasets that are of use to the community, even if the tool or dataset by itself may not warrant a paper. Submissions should not be previously published in a workshop, conference, or journal. Extended abstracts will be published with ACM. Updates of previously presented poster and demo ideas are possible, as are descriptions of previously published tools/datasets that have new features. Submission guidelines Poster submissions must include an extended abstract no longer than two 8.5x11-inch pages, including all figures and references. This extended abstract should use the same LaTeX template as full IMC 2023 papers; it should be formatted in two columns, single-spaced, and with a font no smaller than 10-point. The title should begin with "Poster:" You do not have to anonymize your submission. Submission will open soon. Submission link for extended abstracts: https://imc23posters.hotcrp.com/<https://imc22posters.hotcrp.com/> Submissions for posters should only include the extended abstract, not the poster itself. If accepted, we will send you guidelines on creating the poster. All submissions undergo a peer review process with at least two reviewers. We hope to take as many posters as we can support at the venue with the goal of sharing early results. For any questions, please contact the poster session chairs Cristel Pelsser (cristel.pelsser(a)uclouvain.be<mailto:cristel.pelsser@uclouvain.be>) and Diala Naboulsi (diala.naboulsi(a)etsmtl.ca<mailto:diala.naboulsi@etsmtl.ca>). Important Dates For this year's edition, we will proceed in two rounds. We'll have a first round with posters that will be reviewed by the poster TPC members, as follows: * Poster abstract submission deadline: July 21, 2023 * Notification: August 18, 2023 * Camera ready due: August 25, 2023 This deadline ensures that poster authors can apply for visas in time to attend the conference. If you need a visa send a poster by the first deadline. In the second round, we'll consider the acceptance of papers rejected from the main conference track, as posters, based on recommendations from the main conference TPC members. This deadline is meant for papers that passed the second round of reviews. For those papers, we'll invite authors to resubmit their papers as posters according to the following deadlines: * Submission deadline: September 1, 2023 * Notification: September 8, 2023 * Camera ready due: September 15, 2023 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, Associate Professor Computer Engineering Vice Chair Director of Recruiting and Admissions Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM, 87131 Office: 326B Tel.: (505)-277-5501 Email: eirini(a)unm.edu<mailto:eirini@unm.edu> Website: PROTON Lab<http://ece-research.unm.edu/tsiropoulou/index.html> PROTON Lab's News: @Tsiropoulou_EE<https://twitter.com/Tsiropoulou_EE> "Those who know, do.

Postdoc opening: Microsoft Newman Fellowship in Digital Policy https://digitalpolicy.ie/job-opening-microsoft-newman-fellowship-in-digital… The Microsoft Newman Fellowship in Digital Policy – Applications now open. Deadline to apply: July 14th. This Newman Fellowship is established with the generous support of Microsoft Ireland. The Newman Fellow will be based in the School of Information and Communication Studies. This project is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with experience and expertise in digital policy and/or related areas. Recent years have seen several digital policy initiatives and new institutions, both national and European: from the DSA and the AI act to the OSMR. But to what extent are these new instruments delivering the kind of policy needed for today’s fast paced technological developments? What evaluative tools must we develop to monitor digital policy enforcement and audit its impact? Are all communities served equally? How can we gauge the extent to which digital policy is future proof? What are the next generation technological developments and what might be their implications for digital policy? Applications are invited from candidates who hold a doctoral degree in Information Studies, Law, Political Science, or other relevant disciplines and have experience in associated research methodology and policy analysis. Candidates must possess a PhD (or near completion). More information on the position and how to apply can be found here: https://www.ucdfoundation.ie/microsoft-newman-fellowship-digital-policy-ucd/

Online Talk Series on Platform Governance Research: TUE, July 4 – Catalina Goanta on European Regulation and Platform ToS
by Christian Katzenbach 04 Jul '23

04 Jul '23

Dear AoIR-colleagues, This Tuesday we are continuing our online talk series „Behind the Scenes – Conversations on Empirical Platform Governance Research“. This time we are hosting Catalina Goanta from the University of Utrecht with a talk on "How European consumer regulation changed social media platform geographies“. More info below, registration for the online event is here: https://platform-governance.org/online-talk-series/session-3-catalina-goant… Looking forward to see you next week, Christian Paloma Joao #### Online Talk Series "Behind the Scenes – Conversations on Empirical Platform Governance Research“ Session 3: Catalina Goanta – How European consumer regulation changed social media platform geographies Time and Date: July 4, 2023, 15:00 CEST, Online Registration via this form <https://forms.gle/xq2irQb4mnHkLUcD6> Private governance on social media platforms has long been perceived as a unitary phenomenon in a unitary cyberspace, particularly when relating to Terms of Service (ToS) and additional platform documentations that apply to the relationship between platforms and users around the world. In their past, for reasons relating to transaction costs and legal divergence, platforms have imposed the same set of rules, often of US origin, well beyond the physical boundaries of their jurisdiction of establishment. However, this has led to tensions with rules in other jurisdictions, as well as a shift from cyberspace to cyberspaces of legal compliance. For instance, the European Union has a rich history of 50 years of consumer law and policy that reflects a mandatory legal framework curtailing the freedom of contract on which ToS are based. Some of this regulation, such as the Unfair Contract Terms Directive or the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, have been essential instruments of resistance in the face of the unfair clauses and practices exercised by large social media companies onto European consumers. This talk explores the impact of EU consumer law on social media ToS in the context of a comparison between ToS from four platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter) applied in four jurisdictions (US, UK, Germany and Singapore). It analyses the ToS strategies these social media platforms currently deploy in their global governance, and it speculates on the relative power of legal compliance. Catalina Goanta is an Associate Professor in Private Law and Technology and Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant HUMANads, focused on understanding the impact of content monetization on social media and on reinterpreting private law fairness in the context of platform governance. Between 2016-2021 she was Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University, and during February 2018 – February 2019 a Niels Stensen fellow at the University of St. Gallen (The Institute of Work and Employment) and Harvard University (The Berkman Center for Internet and Society). She is also a non-residential fellow of the Stanford Transatlantic Technology Law Forum. About the Series This talk is part of the series Behind the Scenes – Conversations on Empirical Platform Governance Research <https://platform-governance.org/online-talk-series/> that invites scholars in this field to share their experiences and views, fostering community exchange about how we can study platform governance in this challenging context. It is hosted by the Lab “Platform Governance, Media, and Technology” (PGMT) at the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI), <https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/zemki> University of Bremen, and the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies <https://www.rug.nl/research/icog/research/research-centres/centre-for-journ…>, University of Groningen. Registration Please register via this form <https://forms.gle/xq2irQb4mnHkLUcD6> shortly with an email-address for the full series or this event only, so that we can share the meeting link with you.
