[CFP] 'toys' (Reminder: 3000 word articles due on 17 February)
by Tama Leaver 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

[CFP] 'toys' (Reminder: 3000 word articles due on 17 February) Toys have a complex relationship with children, childhood, play, and the adult world. They can be constructed as a site of creativity and imagination, inspiring a new generation to explore possible roles, futures, skills, and aspirations. Alternatively, they can be seen as an effective tool for enlisting the next generation as unwitting participants in the consumerist dystopia. Toys increasingly include digital components, sometimes accessing and sharing data online, sometimes taking the form of play that includes accessories and apps. Either way, and at all points in between, toys have a special place in the childhood imaginary and in the hopes and fears of parents and of adults who care for and about children. This issue is interested in toys as vehicles for future imaginaries, as links with the past, and as receptacles for adults' hopes and fears for their children. Take, for example, the role of Internet-connected toys. Such toys might be seen as implicated in a range of flows of data and of money that are invisible to the child themself and, often, to the parents. Parents (possibly succumbing to pester power) may buy or engineer the purchase of a toy, which may come with a warranty and a requirement for accepting terms and conditions: all of which serve to gather data about the adult and the child user. In addition to the purchase of the toy, the caregiver is required to provide an Internet service, which represents another cost. Many toys and connected playthings are implicated in other flows of financial interest as vehicles for advertising messages, or in terms of offering higher 'levels' of engagement or game or toy enhancements. Finally, toys may themselves include or suggest further products, commodifying the attention and interest of the child that plays with them. This issue invites articles that explore constructions of toys that position playthings at the junctions of human experience, imagination, data, information, and monetary flows. Ideally prospective contributors should email an abstract of 100-250 words and a brief biography to the issue editors. Abstracts should include the article title and should describe your research question, approach, and argument. Biographies should be about three sentences (maximum 75 words) and should include your institutional affiliation and research interests. Articles should be 3000 words (plus bibliography). All articles will be double-blind refereed and must adhere to MLA style (6th edition). Details Article deadline: 17 Feb. 2023 Expected Release date: 19 Apr. 2023 Editors: Lelia Green, Tama Leaver, and Louise Kay Please submit articles through the M/C Journal Website: https://journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/index Send any enquiries to toys(a)journal.media-culture.org.au -- Professor Tama Leaver (he/him) Professor of Internet Studies School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry (MCASI) Faculty of Humanities Curtin University GPO Box U1987 Perth WA Australia 6845 Ph: (+61 8) 9266 1258 Email: t.leaver(a)curtin.edu.au Web: www.tamaleaver.net Twitter: @tamaleaver <https://twitter.com/tamaleaver> CRICOS Provider Code: 00301J (WA)

Searching instagram posts from 2020
by Sarah Merry 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

I know this has been asked before, but not very recently, and I'm hoping that there might be some new tools available. I have a PhD student who wants to search for posts using hashtags on Insta from a specific month in 2020. They don't have much technical expertise so if you have recommendations for something fairly simple to learn/use that would be really helpful! Thanks, Dr Sarah Kate Merry Coventry University

CHI’23 Workshop, CfP: Bridging Distances for Global Participation: Conducting and Theorizing Participatory Design and Research in Hybrid Contexts
by Ylipulli Johanna 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Call for Papers CHI’23 Workshop Bridging Distances for Global Participation: Conducting and Theorizing Participatory Design and Research in Hybrid Contexts Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/urbanai/conducting-hybrid-pd<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.goo…> CHI conference website: https://chi2023.acm.org/<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchi2023.a…> In this hybrid workshop, we explore the opportunities of conducting multi- site participatory design (PD) and research through hybrid present-telepresent participatory methods, and share issues, challenges, methods, and empirical examples pertaining to this as a goal. PD must increasingly be able to address and serve various global contexts. Overall, then, there is a fundamental need to raise previously unheard global voices in technology design and development, and to bring various stakeholders together. The bread and butter of participatory methodology has been physically co-located creative work with participants, with the aim to immerse the practitioners in the use context, and to learn about the practices, needs and values relevant for the stakeholders in this context. This embedded, hands-on work is crucial and arguably forms the basis of PD practice. Often, this has also meant that PD research teams have been mostly physically co-located, at least for the duration of the PD process. This approach has fundamental validity, as PD requires an in-depth understanding of the cultural context in which it is performed. Nevertheless, this approach also has its drawbacks, as collocated work means both geographical and financial limitations to the type of work that can be accomplished. Conducting multi-site co-located work may be prohibitively time-consuming and expensive, and may also require extensive physical capabilities from both practitioners and participants, leaving many voices unheard. Furthermore, the rapid adoption of various synchronous and asynchronous communication methods through online collaborative tools offer opportunities for more continuous, more dispersed, and more diverse PD research settings and processes. During the world-wide social distancing efforts of 2020–2022, an enormous leap forward was made seemingly overnight in adopting novel modalities of participation and collaboration. As we have sincemoved into a post social distancing world, it is important and timely to both seize the lessons learned from the pandemic-induced forced hybridization of PD, and to keep developing the potentialities that emerged from the experience. However, this opportunity also raises several questions, including: How can we enable various global stakeholders to take part in global hybrid PD? How can PD practitionerswork across cultural spheres in distant settings, and how can we perform culturally aware and sensitive work without ‘being there’? What can a partly technology-mediated PD process consist of, what knowledge can it produce, and what limitations does it have? What novel challenges and opportunities pertaining to accessibility emerge in a technology-mediated PD process? What values, competences and awareness do PD practitioners need when conducting PD work in culturally diverse hybrid settings? What PD processes or methods are not suited to hybrid work and best left for the “nonline” world? What theories, methods and lessons from other fields of research, e,g, from remote ethnography or Computer-Supported Collaborative Work, could be applied? We invite those interested to submit a position paper (3–4 pages) in the SIGCHI Single column paper format (https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/taps/acm_submissio…<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acm.o…>). These contributions may address, for example: * Theoretical considerations: e.g., utilising key theoretical concepts from various fields to build understanding of how to conduct hybrid participatory design and research in various global contexts * Case studies: empirical works that analyze experiences of hybrid participatory design and research in various global contexts * Design-based explorations in real-world settings: e.g. implementation of participatory design and research approaches in different global contexts in hybrid environments * Methods: Methodologies that can contribute towards better implementation of participation in various global contexts and in hybrid environments * Thematic issues; e.g. ethical issues; various user or stakeholder groups, various areas of design, global perspectives, etc. pertaining to conducting hybrid PD in multi-side, multi- cultural contexts Deadline: Feb 8, 2023 (23:59 AoE) Notifications: Mar 1, 2023 (23:59 AoE) Workshop Duration: one day Date & place: Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop (Hamburg, Germany / online) Papers should be sent to: aale.luusua(at)oulu.fi<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Foulu.fi%2F…> AND johanna.ylipulli(at)aalto.fi<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Faalto.fi%2…> Organizers: * Aale Luusua, University of Oulu, Finland * Johanna Ylipulli, Aalto University, Finland * Dani K.
