Participants needed for survey about Gen Z, gender, and social media
by Alexis de Coning 31 May '23

31 May '23

Hi folks, I'm supervising a first-year student who's investigating Gen Z women's experiences of gender and feminism on social media. We are currently looking for survey participants who are: - between 18 - 25 years old, - reside in the United States, and - identify as women (cisgender and transgender women, as well as non-binary femmes, are all welcome to participate). Please complete the survey if you can, or share it with students/family/friends who meet the eligibility requirements. Participants do not need to identify as feminists to complete the survey. This is a significant learning opportunity for my student who's conducting primary research for the first time. We appreciate any help in spreading the survey and diversifying our responses! Best regards, Dr. Alexis de Coning -- Assistant Professor of Communication Student Senate Faculty Representative she/her/hers

31 May '23

Third International Conference on Digital Data Processing University of Bedfordshire Luton. UK November 27-29, 2023 www.socio.org.uk/ddp IEEE CPS will publish the proceedings Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organisation or industry processes over a few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyse and process data more efficiently, where Data analytics can reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. Data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, studying data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies is a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous; they do not sufficiently solve the data processing requirements. Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains. Hence this conference reviews and discusses the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that require further consideration/ The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Privacy and Security Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data Publications The IEEE Xplore will publish the DDP papers. Besides modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals. 1. Journal on Data Semantics 2. Technologies 3. Data Technologies and Applications 4.

Do you sometimes wish you could have been a fly on the wall when Vint Cerf and pals were scheming out the early Internet. Well, as far as the Interplanetary Internet goes, you can! [image: ISOC LIVE] <https://isoc.live/16582>On *Wednesday May 30 2023* at *5pm-6pm EDT* (21:00-22:00 UTC) the *Interplanetary Networking Special Interest Group <https://ipnsig.org/>* (IPNSIG) presents the *IPNSIG Academy 'Architecture and Governance Workshop'. <https://ipnsig.org/2023/05/26/speaker-bios-for-awg-conference/>* Today, as several initiatives, including the Government, Space Agencies, and the private sector, expand communication capabilities off the planet, to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, it is the time to discuss how a "Common Interplanetary Network Infrastructure" could be realized, which entails the need for Governance - a management structure to support the operation of the infrastructure itself. The IPNSIG *Architecture and Governance Working Group* (AWG) has tackled these important subjects by reflecting on the lessons learned from the Internet's evolution, and from insights provided by our past Academy speakers. This session will examine the progress and prospects in this field. *SPEAKERS* *Yosuke Kaneko* - IPNSIG President *Vint Cerf* - IGF Leadership Panel Chair / IPNSIG Board Member *Marc Blanchet* - IPNSIG AWG Member *MODERATOR* *Jim Schier* - NASA *LIVESTREAM http://livestream.com/internetsociety/ipnsigacademy12 <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/ipnsigacademy12>* *PARTICIPATE VIA ZOOM https://bit.ly/42pGqAF <https://bit.ly/42pGqAF>* *REAL TIME TEXT* (see *ISOC.LIVE <https://isoc.live/16582>*) *TWITTER #IPNSIGacademy <https://bit.ly/3wkSJBq> #DTN #netgov @IPNSIG @vgcerf Yosuke Kaneko @JAXA_en* *Marc BLANCHET Jim Schier @NASA #space * *MASTODON #IPNSIGacademy <https://mastodon.social/tags/IPNSIGacademy> * *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/ <https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/> *(AI Captions) *https://www.facebook.com/ipnisoc/ <https://www.facebook.com/ipnisoc/>* (AI Captions) *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/ipnsigacademy12 <https://archive.org/details/ipnsigacademy12>* Permalink https://isoc.live/16582 - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -

CFP: Symposium on Misinformation & Marginalization
by Yvonne Eadon 30 May '23

30 May '23

Dear colleagues, We are excited to announce the call for papers for the Symposium on Misinformation & Marginalization to be hosted by the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (CITAP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on October 16, 2023. The symposium theme focuses on the interactions between discourses of misinformation circulated by and about marginalized communities, featuring a keynote by renowned scholar Dr. Sarah Banet-Weiser. This hybrid one-day symposium, to be held both in-person and online, will consist of three themed panels exploring misinformation and marginalization from different angles: gender and sexuality, diasporic communities, and global perspectives on race and religion. See the CFP below for more details. The submission deadline for paper proposals (extended abstracts of 800 - 1000 words) is June 30, 2023. Please share this call widely with your networks! *The CFP: * Misinformation & Marginalization Symposium October 16, 2023 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Organized and hosted by the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (CITAP <http://citap.unc.edu/>) This symposium on Misinformation & Marginalization will explore global and comparative frames for mis- and disinformation studies that center marginalized perspectives, investigating how online mis- and disinformation spreads and functions differently within different communities, how it can contribute to further harm in such communities, and asking how critical disinformation studies perspectives like these might transform the field as a whole. This hybrid, one-day symposium will consist of an opening keynote speech by Dr. Sarah Banet-Weiser, and three subsequent themed panels. The first panel will explore gender, sexuality, and misinformation; the second will address misinformation in diasporic communities; and the third will look at global perspectives on algorithmically amplified misinformation as it relates to race and religion. Each panel will consist of 4 - 5 papers. These three themed areas are enumerated further below: *Panel 1: Gender, Sexuality, & Misinformation * Gender and sexuality are underexplored aspects of mis- and disinformation studies. While gender has sometimes been discussed as a demographic aspect of mis and disinformation spread (Rampersad and Althiyabi, 2020), and there has been significant work done on the oppression of gender minorities via gendered cisnormative policy and ideology (Tripodi, 2022) little has been done in the mis- and disinformation studies space analyzing the gender dynamics involved in the spread of disinformation that is targeted specifically at, or is about, women, femmes, transgender, and gender-nonconforming people. For example, although the “gender critical” movement, whose members are sometimes known as Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs), has been variously examined by philosophers (Zanghellini, 2020), gender studies scholars (Thurlow, 2022), and others, little has been done in the mis- and disinformation space about how the ideology is spread using disinformation tactics. Many other scholars work on gender, sexuality, and misinformation, but they have not, as of yet, come together in an intellectual commons. The proposed panel seeks to rectify that. Potential topics for this panel include: ● Sociopolitical feedback loops between conservative policymaking in the U.S. and platform-enabled hate speech; comparative studies that address similar phenomena in global contexts ● Instances in which women, femmes, genderqueer people, and gender minorities may use purported misinformation to speak back to hegemony ● Explorations and examples of what *gendered disinformation *may look like in practice ● Intersections between racialized and gendered disinformation *Panel 2: Mis/Disinformation in Diasporic Communities * Diasporic groups are increasingly recognized as populations that are vulnerable to information operations and various kinds of online misinformation. These groups deserve scholarly treatment in addition to studies of the “general public” in Western societies, because the information networks that permeate diasporic communities are transnational, resulting from shifting information needs during the integration processes. Such networks are multi-layered, consisting of social messaging apps, ethnic media channels, and a mix of media sources from both the home country and the destination country. Such complexity invites close examinations of misinformation spread instead of extrapolating from general-population studies. In addition, diasporic groups are subject to targeted information threats by actors from both home and settling countries. For example, migrants from authoritarian countries are exposed to propaganda by the governments of their home countries, yet they are sometimes also subject to mis/disinformation by far-right groups, conspiracy theorists, etc. in their new countries of residence. How immigrants navigate such multicultural and-- in many cases-- multilingual information systems warrants further research. This symposium aims to identify challenges in researching mis/disinformation in diasporic communities, and highlight new approaches to studying this topic.[MAE1] <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_-7317489065968409431__msocom_1> Potential topics for this panel include: ● How misinformation circulates within transnational media and information networks ● Case studies that explore the targeting of diasporic communities ● The impact of misinformation in multilingual contexts ● Support for/belief in authoritarianism among diaspora groups ● Case studies or comparative research on ethnic media and information channels *Panel 3: Misinformation & Algorithmic Amplification: Global Perspectives on Race and Religion* >From merely biased coverage to utter fabrications, misinformation has become a powerful actor in shaping public opinion (Ognyanova et al., 2020), and has in turn impacted religious, ethnic, and racial minorities whose identities in the Global North and South. Racialized misinformation targets Black communities online using digital blackface (Green, 2006; Jackson, 2017; Jones, 2019; Leonard, 2004) and stereotypical representations of Blackness. Similarly, during the 2016 elections in the United States, the Russian agency created social media accounts masking as Black users, creating racial and political divides to suppress Black voter turnout (Freelon et al, 2022). At a time when COVID-19 continues to impact various communities, accurate and bias-free health and anti-racist messages on the web have also become more critical than ever (Grover et al, 2020). Health and vaccine misinformation and digital violence on social media platforms in the United States (Ong, 2021; Grover, 2020) as well as in countries in the Global South including India (Arun, 2019; Farooq, 2018; Mukherjee, 2020; Menon, 2020; Sayeed, 2021) have resulted in communal violence against racial and religious minorities. The algorithms used by social media platforms incorporate such biases (Noble, 2018; Benjamin, 2019; Eubanks, 2018, O’Neil, 2016), exacerbating the misinformation problem not merely in English but also in various cultural and linguistic contexts across the world. This panel on “Misinformation and Algorithmic Amplification” seeks to offer multidisciplinary, transcultural, and transnational understandings of how misinformation/disinformation affects vulnerable and marginalized racial and religious minorities in a global context. We welcome papers that investigate algorithmic misinformation on social media platforms, and the state of digital dissemination of information across various axes of difference such as race, ethnicity, religion, and caste as categories of information production, mediation, and reception in the multicultural context. Potential topics for this panel include: ● Racialized disinformation and its impacts on marginalized communities ● Health misinformation and its disproportionate impacts on minority communities ● Algorithmic misinformation on social media, especially in the Global South ● Impacts of misinformation flows on religious minorities in the Global North and/or Global South Key dates: ● Deadline for extended abstracts (800 - 1000 words): June 30, 2023 ○ *Abstracts (in .docx or .pdf form) can be sent to ymeadon(a)unc.edu <ymeadon(a)unc.edu>* ○ *Please specify in the email which panel you are submitting to * ● Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2023 ● Conference date: October 16, 2023 ● Questions, concerns, and comments can be sent to ymeadon(a)unc.edu References Allcott, Hunt, and Matthew Gentzkow. 2017.

Workshop Trust and AI: WASP-HS conference on AI for Humanity and Society
by Emelie Karlsson 26 May '23

26 May '23

Dear AoIR members, On November 14 2023 we will be hosting a workshop with the focus on “Trust and AI” during the WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society in Malmö, Sweden. More information about the workshop and how to apply can be found below, or here: https://wasp-hs.org/towards-making-the-intangible-tangible-perspectives-on-… The general outline of the conference can be found here: https://wasp-hs.org/events/ai-for-humanity-and-society-2023/ If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out: trustandai(a)gmail.com<mailto:trustandai@gmail.com> Kind regards, Emelie Karlsson ************************************************* The theme of the conference is ‘Living with AI –Critical Questions for the Social Sciences and the Humanities’. Central to living with AI is our ability to trust the technology, but so too is understanding the social and societal implications that AI has on trust. The core purpose of the workshop is to bring together a broad variety of stakeholders with regards to trust and AI, so this workshop calls for participants from various disciplines within academia as well as industry practitioners such as policy makers, developers, CEO’s, and even general users of AI that have particular trust-related experiences with the technology. There are multiple aspects in making and deploying AI that are tied to trust. But trust is an ill-defined phenomenon that operates on multiple levels – the individual, the interactional, the social and the institutional – with no scientific consensus on what it is, why it occurs or how to measure it. This complexity necessitates a multi-stakeholder approach, not only within academia but also industry and society at large, to identify and define the key challenges pertaining to trust and AI. Topic/Goals of the Workshop Discussions at the workshop will be divided into four main tracks: ● Technical – pertaining to technical approaches to trust in AI such as XAI algorithms ● Societal – pertaining to institutional notions, policy, politics and governance ● Experiential – pertaining to design, user experience/interaction, and user stories ● Cognitive – pertaining to social psychology, human-robot interaction and decision-making The groups will individually discuss the main challenges pertaining to AI within their own respective track groups. Then the concerns from each group will be brought together in a larger group for further discussion. The anonymised discussions and conclusions may be used to co-author a potential paper. Submission Details Potential participants will be required to submit a short position statement or user story, outlining their research/industry/user perspective, with regards to trust and AI. We are particularly interested in ideas relating to gaps in existing knowledge stemming from a lack of multidisciplinarity and collaboration. The submissions should be no longer than one page (including references, if any), and should indicate the relevant track. Submissions will be carefully selected to form cohesive groups that facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas. Novel, diverse, and collaborative perspectives will be prioritized. Submissions should be emailed to trustandai(a)gmail.com<mailto:trustandai@gmail.com>. Please note that in order to participate in this workshop you must also register for the conference via the event page<https://wasp-hs.org/events/ai-for-humanity-and-society-2023/>. Registration for the conference opens on 15 August.
