CfP — Environmental Materialities of the Digital
by Loup Cellard 05 Mar '23

05 Mar '23

Hi folks! I am editing with Clément Marquet <https://www.csi.minesparis.psl.eu/en/people/researchers/clement-marquet/> (CSI Mines) a special issue of the journal *Reset <https://journals.openedition.org/reset/361> *on the *environmental materialities of the digital. * *Blurb:* Over the past few years, there has been unprecedented media and political attention directed at the negative ecological consequences of digital technologies. This politicization echoes a broader, international movement of criticism about digital technologies and GAFAMs in particular. Since 2018, the term 'techlash' — an outlash against tech — has referred to the growing public animosity towards tech companies: scandals around misinformation, awful working conditions of platform workers, privacy issues, sexism, racial discrimination, and now negative environmental impacts. With the recent ecological dimension added to the existing critiques, thousands of tech workers have joined strikes, calling on big business to take on climate commitments. *This special issue of RESET aims to explore how environmental approaches can enhance our understanding of the digital, hoping to shed light on what reformist critiques and projects (mixing technical, legal, economic or social dimensions) do to the actors who confront the issue of building sustainable digital technologies. *The special issue aims to consider: the fields of political forces that are constituted around the mattering of environmental issues within tech industries; the actors and entities that were invisible until now; the new entrants legitimised by environmental problematisations; and finally, design, consumption and use practice transformations. We are looking for papers that situate their work in one for more of the following *research areas*: - Techno-ecological entanglements: symbioses, cohabitations and destructions, - Making visible and ordering: sabotage, mobilisation, quantification and administration, - Greening practices: from industrial optimisation to digital sobriety. Read the full call: https://journals.openedition.org/reset/4295 (EN) (call in French: https://journals.openedition.org/reset/4290) *Reset *is an open-access journal publishing empirical studies on digital technologies in French and English. The abstracts (500 words maximum) are due by* May 02, 2023.* They should be sent to the following addresses: - loup.cellard(a)unimelb.edu.au - clement.marquet(a)minesparis.psl.eu - journal.reset(a)gmail.com Response to authors:* late May 2023* Deadline for submission of papers (40,000 to 60,000 characters, including spaces and excluding bibliography): *September 30* Please share among your network !

*AusSTS 2023* *Call for Applications Open* *17 - 18th July, UNSW Sydney* We are pleased to announce that the Call for Applications for AusSTS 2023 <https://aussts.wordpress.com/2023cfp/> is now open! We welcome participants *at all career stages* to share research and other work via short presentations or in a workshop format with pre-circulated written pieces. These can be on any topic or in any area that we might loosely think about as constituting a ‘contribution’ to Science and Technology Studies (STS) thinking. Participants are also welcome to contribute to AusSTS 2023 as a non-presenting attendee. *The AusSTS 2023 conference marks the first in a new alternating structure of AusSTS annual events. While the multi-sited and early-career focused workshop format of previous years will continue in 2024, this year (and every two years moving forward) we will hold a single AusSTS conference welcoming attendees at all career stages engaged in STS work across Australasia. This first AusSTS conference will be held in Sydney, Australia.* AusSTS 2023 will feature a series of discussions about what it means to contribute to and with Australasian STS. Our opening keynote will be a conversation with *Dr Thao Phan* (Monash University) and *Professor Celia Roberts* (ANU) on “Contributing to and with Feminist Technoscience.” This will be followed by a panel discussion centred on the question “What is an Australasian STS Contribution?” with *Dr Courtney Addison* (Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington), *Dr Ash Watson* (UNSW), and *Associate Professor Thom van Dooren* (University of Sydney) *(more panel participants to be announced soon)*. The conference will also include a closing plenary bringing the various conference contributions into dialogue, as well as other opportunities for socialising and connection. Please read below for details and share widely with your networks: *Theme: “Contributing to and with STS”* *Date: Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th July, 2023* *Location: UNSW, Sydney* *Applications due: Sunday 9 April 2023* We invite scholars, writers, artists, and activists from any career stage to contribute to AusSTS 2023. Please submit an application to participate via one of the following formats: 1. *Submit an abstract for a short (5 minute) presentation or provocation.* Sessions will consist of 4–5 presentations followed by group discussion. 2. *Submit a proposal for a piece of written work* to be workshopped with AusSTS attendees. *Pieces of work can include papers or thought pieces (including works in progress), more speculative proposals of research, and other creative or non-traditional forms of translation and output. *Final submissions should be in a written format, between 1,000 and 3,000 words, and ready to be circulated amongst all attendees by 1 July 2023.* 3. *Register interest as a non-presenting attendee.* We welcome submissions from all disciplines and areas of expertise. We are interested in the many ways that scholars across Australasia are already engaged in the kinds of work and thinking we might consider a ‘contribution’ to and with STS.

ACM SIGCOMM INTERNET MEASUREMENT CONFERENCE (IMC) - REPLICABILITY TRACK
by Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: ACM SIGCOMM INTERNET MEASUREMENT CONFERENCE (IMC) - REPLICABILITY TRACK https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2023/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission site: https://imc2023-repro.hotcrp.com/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimc2023-r…> Full text of CfP with all links included: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2023/cfp/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconferenc…> IMC 2023 will trial a new Replicability Track for submissions that aim to reproduce or replicate results that have been previously published at IMC. Papers accepted to this track will be published in ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Priority will be given to replicability studies, although reproducibility studies are also in scope. For the definitions, please see ACM's site (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-and-badging-curre…<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acm.o…>). The authors of outstanding replicability papers may receive an invitation to present at the main conference. In that case, the paper would also be included in IMC's proceedings (rather than CCR). Submissions to this track are two-phase. Prospective authors are invited to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) via the submission system in the form of an abstract which must explain: * Which paper the authors aim to replicate * Whether the paper will be replicated or reproduced * What the IMC community stands to learn from the replication or reproduction * Chosen approach, and why it will lead to new insights A small committee will evaluate the EoIs and their potential to be of interest to the IMC community. The authors of strong abstracts will receive an invitation to a full submission. The EoI serves to avoid misunderstandings and disappointment for authors as we acknowledge that replicating or reproducing a paper is a very significant effort to which potential authors would commit much time. Full submissions will then be assessed by a sub-committee of the TPC. Full submissions must otherwise conform to the same criteria and rules as full submissions on the main track (see below). EoIs must be submitted by 21 Mar AoE - see Important Dates (https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2023/#important-dates<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconferenc…>) for all deadlines. Full submissions have the same deadlines (abstract registration and full submission) as the IMC main deadline. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, Assistant 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.

CFP: Critical and Ethical Studies of Digital and Social Media minitrack of HICSS
by Nicholas Proferes 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Hello all, Along with my colleagues Dr. Britt Paris and Dr. Amelia Acker, I invite you to submit to the HICSS 57 Digital Social Media minitrack panel on Critical and Ethical Studies of Digital and Social Media (paper deadline is June 15, 2023, with the conference set to take place January 3-6, 2024). More information about paper submission and the conference itself can be found at: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/ The minitrack focuses on two themes: a) research that critically interrogates how and when digital and social media reify or challenge existing power structures, and b) research that addresses applied ethical issues associated with doing research on digital and social media. The minitrack seeks both conceptual and empirical approaches to these two themes; early results and innovative methods are welcome. Potential paper topics could explore (but are not limited to) the following themes: ● studies of the values and worldviews embedded within specific hardware and software technologies; ● studies that explore the social responses to platforms from a critical or ethics-based perspective; ● studies that look at the political economies or labor conditions of digital content creation, digital work, and the consequences of sharing economy platforms; ● studies that explore the political community and civic participation in digital spaces; ● studies of the perpetuation of gender, race, ethno-nationalist, and faith-based hostility and bullying found in a range of online environments; ● studies that examine digital power relations between individuals, collectives, and societal institutions; ● case studies that grapple with the challenges and opportunities of unequal data access among actors, including users, researchers, and journalists; ● studies that explore the situated ethics of social media research in different organization contexts; ● studies of the environmental impact that digital and social media researchers have on the planet; ● studies that mobilize non-traditional or experimental research methods developed for the specificities of digital and social media; ● studies that explore issues around the intersections between ethics and privacy, such as quantitative, qualitative, and computational studies on digital and social media privacy ● studies that explore the privacy behavior of users and the mitigation of sensitive and private information on digital and social media platforms, or novel privacy solutions using explainable AI, transparent ML algorithms, or any interdisciplinary methods. We welcome all researchers to submit, and particularly encourage research contributions from graduate students, early career researchers, as well as collaborative teams. If you have questions about whether your research would be an acceptable contribution to this CFP, or to learn more about the HICSS conference, please reach out to Nicholas at nicholas.proferes(a)asu.edu Minitrack Co-Chairs: Nicholas Proferes | Arizona State University | nicholas.proferes(a)asu.edu Britt Paris | Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey | britt.paris(a)rutgers.edu Amelia Acker | University of Texas at Austin | aacker(a)ischool.utexas.edu Nicholas Proferes, PhD Assistant Professor School of Social and Behavioral Sciences New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Arizona State University

Creators for Change ICA pre-conference | Registration open!
by Glatt,ZA (pgr) 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Hello all, I’m delighted to announce, on behalf of David Craig, the ICA pre-conference ‘Creators for Change’ that we’re hosting on Wednesday 24th May. This pre-conference, in affiliation with the ICA Media Industry Studies Interest Group and Popular Media & Culture Division, will explore the ways that online creators harness platforms to catalyse social change, featuring a keynote from Brooke Erin Duffy (“Creators, Platforms, and the New Politics of Visibility”) and panel sessions with platform cultural producer researchers and creative practitioners. You can see the schedule and register to attend HERE: https://creators4change.com/ The term “creators for change” (C4C) refers broadly to all the individuals, groups, and movements concerned with social justice that harness platforms to creatively agitate and advocate for social change. With C4C, we foreground Michel de Certeau’s (1980) distinction between “strategies” and “tactics” when exploring the opportunities and costs of using platforms owned by the largest corporations in the world for the pursuit of social change. When probing how creators are making media with the goal of making history, pre-conference participants will intervene in the space between corporate structure and creative agency; between platform infrastructures, business models, and algorithms; between performance and box-ticking, and meaningful representation and the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access, that extends on and off camera, throughout corridors of corporate and legacy media power, and also within narratives in streaming and community formations across social media platforms. C4C brings together the research agendas of critical media industries, alternative and activist media, and platformisation. I hope to see some of you there! All the best, Zoe ________________________ Zoë Glatt www.zoeglatt.com<http://www.zoeglatt.com/> ESRC PhD Researcher in Media & Communications London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Co-Founder: The Digital Ethnography Collective @DigECollective<https://twitter.com/DigECollective> Twitter<https://twitter.com/ZoeGlatt> | YouTube channel<https://www.youtube.com/user/Zedstergal> | LSE bio<http://www.lse.ac.uk/media-and-communications/people/phd-researchers/zoe-gl…>
