Largely concealed to their end-users, they are becoming the main stage where local and global economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical conflicts are played out. Once established, infrastructures shape societies for decades to come. On the *13th and 14th of April* we will launch the critical infrastructure lab* to discuss and develop visions of how communication infrastructures can serve the public interest -- and we want to do that with you! Work in the critical infrastructure lab will focus on the development of new infrastructural futures that center people and planet over profit and capital. Hosted at the University of Amsterdam and led by Fieke Jansen, Niels ten Oever, and Maxigas, the lab will bring together activists, advocates, scholars, policymakers, and industry actors. Three analytical lenses of standards, geopolitics and environment will be applied to built an evidence base, investigate and develop infrastructural imaginaries, and create actionable research for infrastructures that serve the public interest. *About the launch event* The two-day event at the University of Amsterdam will take place on the 13th and 14th of April. It will be a mix of keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, infrastructure walks, and panel discussions. Both days will be in person, but day 1 will be streamed. For both days, we invite session proposals from activists, advocates, scholars, policymakers, and industry. Day zero, 13th of April, will be a hands-on lab day. It will offer space for interactive sessions on geopolitics, environment, and standards. We invite proposals for sessions of 2.5 hours. For instance, workshops, infrastructure walks, policy challenges, simulations, etc. Pretty much everything that is _not_ a panel or paper presentation. Day one, 14th of April, will have a more academic structure. It will kick off with three keynote presentations followed by panel sessions. The keynote speakers - Ksennia Ermoshina, Svitlana Matviyenko, and Yu Hong - will inspire and challenge us. The keynotes are followed by Corinne Cath, who will present her research on exclusionary cultures of internet governance. The afternoon will be dedicated to simultaneous panel sessions in the areas of infrastructure and geopolitics, infrastructure and environment, and infrastructure and standards. Academics can submit an extended abstract (research question, theory/literature, method, data, preliminary findings) and practitioners can submit a position statement. These contributions should be between 750 and 1000 words. *Want to submit?* Do you have an idea you want to workshop, a discussion you want to host, or some research that you want to present? State clearly in an email: - your name and affiliation, - whether you are submitting for day zero or day one, - the research area (infrastructure and geopolitics, infrastructure and environment, or infrastructure and standards) - include an abstract, position statement or a blurb for an interactive session! Send your submission to submission(a)criticalinfralab.net by March 1st. The lab and its research is supported by the Ford Foundation, the Internet Society Foundation, and Omidyar Network.

2023 Policy & Internet Conference - Call for Papers
by Jonathon Hutchinson 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

**With apologies for cross-posting ** Policy & Internet Conference 2023 Sep 28-29, The University of Sydney Call for papers Policy innovation for inclusive internet governance The task of internet policy making has changed markedly over the past two decades. The ‘move fast, break things’ era—during which a central policy concern was how to manage economic disruption across industry sectors from entertainment to journalism, retail, transport and hospitality—has evolved into a digital era characterised by complex and interconnected social, political and economic global challenges. Today, internet policy must confront issues relating to embedded interests, monopoly power, geopolitics, colonisation, warfare, automation, the environment, misinformation, safety, security and more. As DeNardis (2014) has argued, conflicts within internet governance involve critical negotiations over economic and political power and how these conflicts are resolved “will determine some of the most important public interest issues of our time”. In seeking to resolve these conflicts, there is a risk that the dominant economic and geopolitical actors will structure outcomes in their interest. An inclusive approach to internet governance is needed if we are to achieve an equitable distribution of digital resources and opportunities. Inclusive internet governance requires that the voices, interests and values of the maginalised are included in policy making processes, so that dominant ideologies can be challenged and alternative imaginaries realised (Gurumurthy & Chami, 2016). Novelty and innovation in internet policy is itself challenging. Typically, policy making is driven by past experiences (Schot and Steinmueller, 2018) and constrained by institutional formalities, hierarchies and procedures (Bauer, 2014). Innovation, on the other hand, requires space for exploration and experimentation with opportunities “only partially known” (Bauer & Bohlin, 2022). How does policy innovation occur? This conference seeks to bring together a range of international voices to demonstrate how varying approaches towards internet policy are established, embodied and engaged with by a variety of stakeholders. It also aims to bring together scholars and policymakers to discuss current practices, alternative designs and the ‘unknowns’ that are required for inclusive internet governance. The conference will invite scholars, civic interest groups, platform providers and regulatory bodies to discuss the tensions of internet policy and will consider a future research agenda for the field. This two day conference is inviting papers that address, but are not necessarily limited to, the following topics: * What is policy innovation in this moment? What are its ecosystems? Are they fit for purpose? How can they be reimagined? * Achieving diversity, justice and inclusion in internet governance * Case studies from diverse jurisdictions that address core internet governance problems * Case studies in innovative approaches to digital platform governance * Policies of digital sovereignty, security and conflict * Global response to automation and artificial intelligence * Policy and governance implications of emerging tech e.g. web3, AI, extended reality, the Internet of things and 5G * Emerging cultural practices and related regulatory tensions * Internet business models that challenge the status quo * Competition and other economic policies for a more competitive internet Instructions Email a 300-500 word abstract, excluding references, to milica.stilinovic(a)sydney.edu.au<mailto:milica.stilinovic@sydney.edu.au> by April 16, 2023 with subject line “P&I Conference 2023 Submission”. All accepted papers are required to be presented in person. Abstracts will be assessed according to the following criteria: 1) quality of research and analysis 2) originality 3) relevance to conference theme and Policy & Internet Journal audiences. Notifications of acceptance will be provided by 1 May, 2023. A selection of presenters will also be invited to submit a full paper for a special issue of Policy & Internet. References: Bauer, J. M.

Europe and the technologies of 'Others' in Amsterdam and online, March 23
by Niels ten Oever 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Dear all, On *March 23, 8 pm* the Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES) will be hosting a hybrid event on “*The geopolitics of foreign technologies: Europe and the technologies of ‘Others’*”. Our guests that evening will be *Nina Klimburg-Witjes, Gianluigi Negro and Gertjan Hoetjes*. They will discuss how technologies are imagined in Europe and what role (foreign) technologies play in Europe’s self-image. _Abstract_: European technology regulation is a dynamic process strongly influenced by how regulators and publics perceive developments in other regions of the world. For almost a century, western discourses on the technology of others have ranged from fascination to anxieties informing geopolitical decisions on how to deal with foreign technology markets. The geopolitical imaginations of others’ technological abilities but also the (sovereign) spaces of their application in both ‘developing’ as well as leading technology markets has thus always shaped policy-making. Currently, dominant narratives such as China’s goal to become an AI superpower challenging the European market and data security, as well as Russia’s state-organized cyberspace activities abroad challenging political stability have led to a proliferation of images of a defenseless and outpaced West.

Centre for Internet Studies Online Lecture Series: Inaugural talk by Mark Andrejevic March 29th 12pm CET

Dear colleagues Centre for Internet Studies, Aarhus University, DK, is pleased to launch our Online Lecture Series by welcoming professor Mark Andrejevic, Monash University, Melbourne. Mark is among the world’s leading surveillance theorists and renowned for several important books. This will take place March 29th at noon (12pm) on Zoom: https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/67387758776 Everybody is welcome. To get an idea of the audience, participants are requested to sign up by sending a mail to linaa(a)cc.au.dk Abstract: The 'Biases' of Automation: Pre-emption/Framelessness/Environmentality With a nod to the work of Canadian theorist Harold Innis, this presentation considers the "biases" of automated media systems -- not in the conventional sense of "bias," but to consider what tendencies of power and control we privilege when we make the choice to use automated systems (within the constraints of contemporary social relations). The presentation explores the relationship between environmental forms of governance (with reference to Michel Foucault's comments on "environmentality"), logics of pre-emption, and data collection without limits. It considers both the imperatives driving the development of automated media, and some of the cultural and political consequences of their adoption. Mark Andrejevic is Professor in the School of Media, Film, and Journalism at Monash University, where he is also a chief investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society. He is the author of several books including Automated Media, and more than 100 journal articles and book chapters.
