ICA 2023 Preconference on the Legacies of Elihu Katz
by Park, David 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

CFP: ICA Preconference on the Legacies of Elihu Katz Elihu Katz (1926–2021) was a peerless scholar, colleague, mentor, administrator, and friend to many in the field of communication. His passing has left the field with an absence that calls out for remembrance and for scholarly consideration. This one-day, all-plenary preconference will create a space for scholarly exchange on Katz’s life, works, and themes—a forum, in other words, for active, critical engagement with his legacy for the field. The preconference invites presenters to explore, critique, and extend Katz’s contributions to communication scholarship. Some will situate Katz’s legacies in pertinent historical contexts; others will use his work to imagine media futures; still others will consider Katz’s many roles (teacher, institution-builder, broadcast pioneer, mentor). Some lines of inquiry presenters may wish to explore include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * considerations of journalism and the public that draw upon Katz’s configurations of Gabriel Tarde’s ideas * explorations of the promise and limitations of the idea of the media ritual * elaborations upon the idea of the two-step flow of media effects * diffusion processes in varied media and networks * the evolution and contemporary significance of the concept of media events * perspectives on Katz’s ideas that come from disparate subfields in communication, including but not limited to: interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and intercultural communication * philosophical interrogations of Katz’s ideas and research empirical studies that draw explicitly on Katz’s ideas, for instance cross-cultural readings of American television inspired by the Export of Meaning* (his co-authored book with Tamar-Liebes) * Shifts of emphasis in media studies between content providers and audiences * Katz’s place in the canon of media studies * new ideas concerning the Katzian intersection of mass communication and interpersonal communication * transpositions of Katz’s ideas into new arenas, like human-machine communication and virtual reality * historical scholarship addressing: * Katz’s involvement in broadcasting and mass media, including his role as a creator of Israeli Television * the export of Katz’s ideas to communication and media studies departments around the world * the impact of Katz’s ideas on academic fields and areas of practice outside of communication Abstracts of 400 words (maximum), in Spanish or English, should be submitted no later than 20 December 2022. Draft papers will be pre-circulated in advance of the preconference, with all participants expected to read in advance. Send abstracts to the pre-conference organizers at: legaciesofkatz(a)gmail.com<mailto:legaciesofkatz@gmail.com> Presenters will work within a timeline established to ensure that full papers are available for password-protected precirculation a month or more before the preconference, on the expectation that presented and non-presenters attendees read the papers in advance. The benefit of pre-circulation is that the bulk of time devoted to each panel can be given over to discussion among presenters and other attendees. Authors will be informed regarding acceptance/rejection no later than 10 January 2023. The preconference will take place on 25 May, 2023, and will be free to all participants, thanks to generous support from the Department of Communication and the Smart Family Institute of Communications at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, and the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

Is Digital Education sustainable? October 19th, 7pm GMT
by Mark Carrigan 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

*Is Digital Education sustainable? October 19th, 7pm GMT* Digital technology is often presented as a solution to social and educational problems. It is imagined that if we find the right technology and deploy it in effective ways then previously intractable challenges might soon become a thing of the past. But what if digital education is part of the problem? To the extent it rests upon a continued proliferation of digital devices, ever expanding use of digital data and the embedding of ‘always on’ hyperconnectivity there are serious issues to be raised about the sustainability of digital education. Far from providing a route towards a fairer future the field risks exacerbating climate breakdown. Is it possible to reorientate digital education towards a more sustainable future or are these problems inherent in the digitalisation of education itself? Should we be trying to develop more sustainable forms of individual practice or are these distractions from political questions which need to be addressed collectively? In the first DTCE Digital Dialogue <http://www.dtcemanchester.org/>we are joined by Susan Brown <https://www.twitter.com/blendingtolearn/>, Jana Bacevic <https://janabacevic.net/> and Neil Selwyn <https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/neil-selwyn> to explore whether a more sustainable digital education is possible and how we might work towards it. *Register here*: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CSqLaSlyQIq2eFc3xii_ow Dr. Mark Carrigan FRSA | Lecturer in Education | Programme Director for DTCE <https://www.dtcemanchester.org/> markcarrigan.net | @drmarkcarrigan <http://www.twitter.com/drmarkcarrigan/> | postpandemicuniversity.net *I occasionally send e-mail outside of normal hours as my preferred way of balancing multiple commitments.

Call for Submissions: Unpacking Deceptive Design Blog | The Pranava Institute
by Titiksha Vashist 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Dear AoiR friends and colleagues, Hope this email finds you well. The Pranava Institute <https://pranavainstitute.com/> is inviting contributions for its new blog on Unpacking Deceptive Design, which is part of The Ethical UI/UX design manual project <https://www.design.pranavainstitute.com/> funded by the University of Notre Dame and IBM’s Tech Ethics Lab. Deceptive design or ‘dark patterns’ are manipulative or deceptive practices built into user interfaces by developers that have the effect, intentionally or unintentionally, of obscuring, subverting, or impairing consumer autonomy, decision-making, or choice. They are often carefully designed to alter decision-making by users or trick users into actions they did not intend to take. These deceptive design practices are built into user interfaces across multiple online experiences today. Shopping and eCommerce platforms nudge and manipulate users to share more data and buy products, social media uses deceptive design to increase user engagement to unhealthy levels, and financial apps use deceptive design to trick users into signing up for products that could be harmful. The 'Unpacking Deceptive Design Blog' is a collaborative space for researchers and interested individuals to contribute from diverse disciplinary perspectives and fill knowledge and awareness gaps on the issue. The blog invites contributions reflecting on deceptive design practices as it intersects with competition in digital markets, data protection and privacy, consumer protection online, financial security, human rights, and social security across jurisdictions. We actively encourage contributions focussing on exploring deceptive design from non-western epistemologies, deceptive designs in non-western countries, and the impact on first-generation internet users. We are also happy to announce that contributions will be paid thanks to the support of the University of Notre Dame-IBM's Tech Ethics Lab. A standard honorarium of $200 will be offered to authors. How to contribute to the Unpacking Deceptive Design BlogWhat we publish - We invite contributions engaging various forms of impacts of deceptive design on society, including impact on users, data and privacy, competition, information online, consumer rights, vulnerable populations, digital markets, etc. - In particular, we appreciate articles exploring a specific dimension of such design choices or proposing how such practices can be countered. The blog should: - explicitly reflect on one or more aspects of deceptive design like impact on competition in e-commerce, impact on users and data, impact on youth online, etc. - explore alternatives to current practices either in design practice, or propose policy solutions, regulatory direction, consensus building, awareness, etc - be between 1,200 and 2000 words, blog style accessible to a wider audience. Longer posts might be published as a series of “episodes” linked to each other. How to participate - Please email a 200-300 word abstract that outlines the topic, scope, and approach of your blog with references to designblog(a)pranavainstitute.com by 17th October along with a 100-word bio. We accept submissions on a rolling basis. Suggested topics for submission - How deceptive design intersects with currently existing approaches such as consumer protection, online safety, competition in markets, etc. - Analyzing the impact of deceptive design on digital markets and specific sectors (e-commerce, social media, education, etc.) - Formulating and implementing design guidelines and standards - Emerging approaches and tools to tackle Deceptive Design Practices - Evaluating Design Impact Assessment approaches - Strategy and roadmap to include all stakeholders to tackle deceptive design - Deceptive design and the non-English internet - Impact of deceptive design practices on first-generation internet users in non-Western countries. - Examining Deceptive Design practices from non-western epistemologies Submissions on the above-stated issues and/or aligned with these themes are welcome. We are also open to contributions exploring other relevant issues around deceptive design practices. In case of any queries, please reach out to titiksha(a)pranavainstitute.com. Help us spread the word!

Call For ICA 2023 Panelists: Platforms, Power and a Theory of Friction
by Popiel, Pawel 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Hi All, I’m co-organizing a panel for ICA 2023 that positions the removal and/or creation of friction through policy, design and business practices, as an orienting lens to understand platform capitalism and platform power. We are looking for two more panelists and are particularly interested in scholars who study labor surveillance, datafication, climate change and smart cities. Once you’ve read the abstract below, if you are interested, please email Pawel Popiel (ppopiel(a)asc.upenn.edu<mailto:ppopiel@asc.upenn.edu>) and Krishnan Vasudevan (kvasu(a)umd.edu<mailto:kvasu@umd.edu>) with a brief description of your paper and how your work would contribute to the understanding of friction. Abstract Technology platform companies, from Amazon to Uber, require the constant flow of user data to maximize profits and fuel their growth. The dependency of their business models on these uninterrupted data flows creates incentives for platform companies to remove any and all frictions that impede their accumulation of capital, including by facilitating user data surrender and obscuring data collection practices through user-friendly design and opposing policies that may regulate or disrupt these data flows. Communication scholars have begun to explore how technology platforms seek to maintain fluid marketplaces through such "frictionless" practices and strategies. For example, Popiel & Sang (2021) examined how platform companies lobby for "frictionless regulations" like public-private partnerships that naturalize platform business models, while privileging their business considerations over democratic values. Vasudevan (2020) examined how platforms employ "frictionless design" to addict end-users to platforms by deploying deceptive interactive features. In this panel, we build upon recent scholarship about friction and frictionless practices employed by technology platforms by examining the construct in the context of labor surveillance, datafication, platform regulation, and climate change. By situating “friction” within a more expansive theoretical context, this panel will offer scholars an adaptable, orienting construct for examining platform power. More broadly, this panel will provide scholars a meaningful lens through which to understand how platform capitalism in the current epoch seeks to erode socio-technical and political frictions that are crucial to a functioning democracy.

ICA Panel CFP: Online LGBTQ Discourse + Rhetoric
by Yvonne Eadon 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Hello from Nanditha Narayanamoorthy and Yvonne Eadon, postdoctoral research scholars from the Center for Information, Technology and Public Life (CITAP) at UNC Chapel Hill. We are looking to convene a 6-paper panel for the LGBTQ Studies Interest Group at ICA 2023 in Toronto. The panel seeks to bring together papers that examine online discourses and rhetoric around LGBTQ+ communities on social media platforms from a variety of disciplines, methodologies, and cultural contexts. We invite papers that not only investigate the ways in which virtual queer communities converge and communicate online in the creation of personal and collective identities, but also how they are broadly represented on platforms through the rhetoric of violence, surveillance, conspiracy theories, and far-right nationalism. Emphasizing questions of power, discursive world-building, and social inequalities in relation to digital LGBTQIA+ communities, this panel seeks to foster conversation among scholars around the world by centering queer and trans communities, interrogating and broadening the extant narratives around online discourse on queer and trans experiences. We are particularly interested in papers that bring intersectional perspectives to the discursive study of sex, sexuality, gender, and intimacy using de/anti/postcolonial, and queer/trans/non-binary frameworks. Papers that take an intersectional and comparative approach from the Global North and South are particularly welcome. Submissions are welcome, but not limited to: - queer world-building through gaming, alternate reality games (ARGs), fan fiction, or other means - digital queer resistance, activism, and solidarity - virtual queer communities on social media platforms (TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr) - Far-right communities formed around anti-LGBTQIA+ discourses (e.g., Libs of TikTok) - rhetoric of hate and cultures of harm against LGBTQIA+ groups - conspiracy theories by and about queer communities - discourse on privacy and surveillance for LGBTQIA+ communities - intra- and inter-community conflicts - gendered approaches to the recent public health crisis Submissions can be sent to nanditha(a)unc.edu by October 20, 2022. Please include a separate 250-word abstract and short author biography. If you know others who might be interested, please share! -- Yvonne M.

Digital Methods Winter School '23 - Univ. Amsterdam

Digital Methods Winter School 2023 ’The use and misuse of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)’ 9-13 January 2023 New Media & Digital Culture Media Studies University of Amsterdam Turfdraagsterpad 9 1012 XT Amsterdam the Netherlands Call for participation The Digital Methods Initiative (DMI), Amsterdam, is holding its annual Winter School on ’The use and misuse of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)’. The format is that of a (social media and web) data sprint, with tutorials as well as hands-on work for telling stories with data. There is also a programme of keynote speakers. It is intended for advanced Master's students, PhD candidates and motivated scholars who would like to work on (and complete) a digital methods project in an intensive workshop setting. The use and misuse of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) From geolocating burning tanks in the Ukrainian fields and determining the authenticity of videos depicting possible human rights violations in Cameroon to reconstructing the events of January 6, 2021 in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., activists, journalists, and the general public are increasingly turning to a (somewhat) new ally: Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). The systematization of information gathered from open, often internet-based, sources (as opposed to the classified sources of governmental intelligence) using digital tools, as OSINT may be defined, is turning into a highly regarded strategy to build public narratives of truth. Recently, major news outlets such as The Guardian, The New York Times, and the BBC have added OSINT units or ‘visual investigation’ teams. They join more established investigation units from international civil society such as those of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, academic research institutions such as Berkley's Human Rights Investigations Lab, and citizen intelligence agencies like Bellingcat. Recent news articles have described the rise of open source intelligence as challenging existing authorities, especially state-controlled or other official information sources. In doing so, OSINT practitioners have developed a particular set of reporting formats and verification tools that strengthen the epistemic authority of their practices. For example, crowd-sourced information from Twitter or Telegram is arranged next to video stills pulled from popular platforms or satellite images from public providers in order to put together and strengthen the argument of what actually happened. OSINT has developed a signature 'investigative aesthetic' and style, dramatised and popularised by organisations striving for justice, such as Forensic Architecture, or preserving the memory of wars, such as the Syrian Archive. OSINT also taps into the transparency strategies of the open source ethos and the encouragement of DIY hacker culture. Professional and lay OSINT practitioners curate lists of tools, draft how-to guides and share training materials on YouTube and elsewhere to empower others to undertake similar work. These have been applied to projects that fight climate change and trace illicit money flowing through circuitous corporate structures. They also have found an eager audience in those who dig for and post updates about conspiracy theories such as QAnon. Whether it is misuse or weaponisation, OSINT practices and styles have also been adopted by misinformation operatives such as 'War on Fakes'. The Winter School takes up OSINT as an investigative practice and aesthetic. It offers critical research projects on data journalism, fact-checking and other investigative projects employing online data. It also combines OSINT tools with digital methods and other online research techniques for academic research that make use of verification. Finally, it analyses its cultures of practice and how it establishes and undermines others' epistemic authority. At the Winter School there are the usual social media tool training tutorials for working on single and cross-platform analysis, but also continued attention to thinking through and proposing how to work critically with social media data, both from mainstream social media platforms as well as so-called alt tech. Apart from the keynotes and the training tutorials, there are also empirical and conceptual projects that participants work on. Projects from the past Summer and Winter Schools include: Detecting Conspiratorial Hermeneutics via Words & Images, Mapping the Fringe on Telegram; Greenwashing, in_authenticity & protest; Searching constructive/authentic posts in media comment sections, Mapping deepfakes with digital methods and visual analytics, “Go back to plebbit”: Mapping the platform antagonism between 4chan and Reddit, Profiling Bolsobots Networks, Infodemic cross-platform analysis, Post-Trump Information Ecology, Streams of Conspirational Folklore, and FilterTube: Investigating echo chambers, filter bubbles and polarization on YouTube. The most recent school had some of the following projects: Climate imaginaries; Repurposing Google Ads; What is a meme, technically speaking?; Tracing the genealogy and change of TikTok audio memes; Google Autocomplete: Racist results still?; and OK Boomer on Twitter. Winter School ’23 organisers: Kamila Koronska, Richard Rogers and Guillen Torres, Media Studies, University of Amsterdam.

07 Oct '22

Second International Conference on Digital Data Processing University of Bedfordshire Luton. UK December 07-09, 2022 www.socio.org.uk/ddp (IEEE Xplore. Papers should follow the IEEE template) Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organization or industry processes more than a few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyze and process data more efficiently where the Data analytics can reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. The 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 are 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 the voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from the 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 DDP is technically supported by IEEE CPS. The DDP papers will be submitted for publication and indexing in IEEE Xplore. Besides, modified versions of the papers will appear in the following journals. 1. Journal on Data Semantics 2.
