do you teach across borders?
by Patricia Aufderheide 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

Do you teach across borders? For instance—you coteach with someone in another country. Some of your students are in another country. You teach for a wing of a university that's based in another country. For a study funded by Education International (the largest organizations of teachers' organizations in the world), Juliya Ziskina (Library Futures) and I are looking into copyright problems that teachers face across borders. It's short, 6+ minutes at most. If you do teach across borders, we would be beyond grateful for your attention. ALSO, even if you don't, it would be a dream come true if you could flag this on your socials, tell your friends, alert your listservs. It's in the following languages: English Spanish Portuguese French All at this link: https://american.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_40jQUf6enq5nUCa<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://american.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_…> Thank you!!

Christian Fuchs): Call for Open Access Book Submissions https://uwestminsterpress.blog/2023/01/30/call-for-book-proposals-for-the-c… Critical Digital and Social Media Studies is an established open access book series edited by Professor Christian Fuchs (Paderborn University) and published by the University of Westminster Press (UWP): https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/series/critical-digital-and-… The Critical Digital and Social Media Studies series publishes books that critically study the role of the internet, digital and social media in society and make critical interventions. Books in the series analyse how power structures, digital capitalism, ideology, domination and social struggles shape and are shaped by digital and social media. They use and develop critical theories, are profoundly theoretical and discuss the political relevance and implications of the topics under scrutiny. The Series has published 24 books since its launch in 2016. UWP is a non-profit open access publisher of Humanities and Social Science research, based in the UK, with a global reach. We support ‘diamond’ open access and most of our publications are made available without fees to either authors or readers. With funding from the Jisc Open Access Community Framework (OACF), which provides financial support allowing us to publish without author-facing fees or book processing charges, we are inviting submissions for book proposals that fall within the scope of the series, and fit the criteria as set out below.

They are published using a Creative Commons licence (we use CC-BY-NC-ND as our standard licence but can discuss other options), and copyright in the work is retained by the author. The series is a critical theory forum for internet and social media research that makes critical interventions into contemporary political topics in the context of digital and social media. It is interested in publishing work that, based on critical theory foundations, develops and applies critical social media research methods that challenge digital positivism, as well as digital media ethics that are grounded in critical social theories and critical philosophy. The series’ understanding of critical theory and critique is grounded in approaches such as critical political economy and Frankfurt School critical theory. CALL DETAILS All books must be between 35,000-90,000 words in length, with a preference for projects that can submit a full draft typescript within the next 6-12 months.

London event on 13th March - Prof Trine Syvertsen on Digital disconnection and activism at KCL
by Zeena Feldman 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Dear friends and colleagues, Next Monday, the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London will be hosting Professor Trine Syvertsen (University of Oslo) for a talk on Digital Disconnection and Activism. This in-person event will run 16.00-17.00 on the King's Strand Campus in room K3.11. It is free and open to all; please register here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-disconnection-and-activism-tickets-5…>. Digital disconnection is often seen as an individual endeavour and a lifestyle choice, yet activists often use terms like "movement" and "cause" to talk about digital detoxing. To that end, Trine Syvertsen discusses activist initiatives encouraging people to log off digital media. Based on an analysis of ten initiatives, this seminar considers how detox activists present the problems to be solved, potential solutions, and how they recruit participants and mobilise support. Trine Syvertsen is Professor of Media Studies at the University of Oslo. She is the author of Media Resistance; Protest, Dislike, Abstention (2017) and Digital Detox: The Politics of Disconnecting (2020). She chairs the project Intrusive Media, Ambivalent Users and Digital Detox (Digitox), funded by the Research Council of Norway (2019-2024).
