by Nicholas Proferes 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Hello all, ASU's interdisciplinary data-science research group, B²C², will be hosting a public Zoom talk --this Friday at 1pm MST-- from Dr. Claus Bossen of Aarhus University on datawork in healthcare. The event is free, though registration is required. When: Friday, Oct 7th at 1PM MST (20:00 UTC) Location: Zoom Registration Link: https://asu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUtf-GvqDkvHtWUq-LHW5FNCbqvTS-1JSHw Who: Dr. Claus Bossen, Aarhus University Talk Title: Making Data-Work In Healthcare Visible Abstract: This talk focuses on the people who do mundane data work. While data scientists have received attention as sexiest job in the 21st century, and data scientist programs have come up at many universities, other groups of people who work with data have received less attention. However, if we do not understand and know these people go about working with data, we will have an impoverished understanding of data and what it can do. The talk will focus on data work in healthcare, and draw on examples from Denmark and the USA including groups such as medical secretaries, clinical documentation improvement specialists and the Danish Health Data Authority. Bio: Dr. Claus Bossen is professor at the Department of Information Studies, Aarhus University. With a background in anthropology he has researched the development and implementation of IT systems in healthcare drawing on Science-Technology-Studies (link)<https://pure.au.dk/portal/en/persons/claus-bossen(f989b328-ea2e-4b6f-b6c5-9…> Looking forward to seeing you there, Nicholas Nicholas Proferes, PhD Assistant Professor School of Social and Behavioral Sciences New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Arizona State University

Launch event (online): Civic Participation in the Datafied Society
by Arne Hintz 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

The Data Justice Lab invites you to the following online event: Civic Participation in the Datafied Society Presentation of research report and discussion with Arne Hintz, Joanna Redden, Emiliano Treré, Jess Brand and Harry Warne (Data Justice Lab) Comments and further insights: Aidan Peppin (Ada Lovelace Institute) When: Monday, 10 October, 3-5 pm (UK time) Where: Online You will receive the Zoom link if you RSVP to datajusticelab(a)cardiff.ac.uk by Friday 7 October While data and automated decision systems are rapidly rolled out in both the public and private sector, people often have little knowledge about how these systems work, nor how they can intervene into, and participate in, decisions about the use of data. How, then, do we advance people’s voice in the deployment of data and AI? How do we democratise datafied governance? Our new report Civic Participation in the Datafied Society explores different ways in which citizens are – and can be – involved in these decisions which are fundamentally transforming societies. We have investigated the roles of citizen juries and citizen summits, oversight and advisory institutions, civil society campaigns, alternative discourses and infrastructures, and efforts to advance data literacy. In this 2-hour session we will present the research and our main findings. We will hear about further work by the Ada Lovelace Institute on how to advance civic participation. And we'll have a discussion with all participants on the most promising practices and experiences, the most serious challenges, and a way forward towards a bigger role for citizens in decision-making over data.

NEW BOOK: Crisis Vision: Race and the Cultural Production of Surveillance (Torin Monahan)
by Monahan, Torin 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

Crisis Vision: Race and the Cultural Production of Surveillance (Duke University Press, 2022) Torin Monahan More information: https://www.dukeupress.edu/crisis-vision In Crisis Vision, Torin Monahan explores how artists confront the racializing dimensions of contemporary surveillance. He focuses on artists ranging from Kai Wiedenhöfer, Paolo Cirio, and Hank Willis Thomas to Claudia Rankine and Dread Scott, who engage with what he calls crisis vision—the regimes of racializing surveillance that position black and brown bodies as targets for police and state violence. Many artists, Monahan contends, remain invested in frameworks that privilege transparency, universality, and individual responsibility in ways that often occlude racial difference. Other artists, however, disrupt crisis vision by confronting white supremacy and destabilizing hierarchies through the performance of opacity. Whether fostering a recognition of a shared responsibility and complicity for the violence of crisis vision or critiquing how vulnerable groups are constructed and treated globally, these artists emphasize ethical relations between strangers and ask viewers to question their own place within unjust social orders. //Table of Contents Acknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1.

CfP: BJET Special Section on Advancing Theory in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
by Vitomir Kovanovic 01 Oct '22

01 Oct '22

BJET Special Section on Advancing Theory in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Technology has been heralded as a needed innovation to improve educational practice. Indeed, the use and sophistication of technologies to support multi-modal learning has advanced significantly in recent times, as have insights gained from learning analytics and data science. Technologies are now highly embedded in education and across all levels of schooling, ranging from early years to higher education and professional upskilling. Although there is an abundance of experimental and exploratory research investigating the use of these specific technologies, relatively few studies have leveraged technological advances to directly challenge or expand on learning and education theory. As such, our understanding of learning theory has remained relatively constant, despite the rapidly changing education context and almost ubiquitous access to, and availability of, technologies and information. This can be seen through a review of the research literature in the fields of Education Technology, Learning Analytics (LA) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education, where a plethora of works are focused on predictive models, testing of a novel technology or evaluations of impact. Comparatively, there are far fewer examples of research interrogating or posing new theories on learning experiences where instructors and designers integrate and complement the work of artificial agents. The lack of critical engagement from research in education technology, and in particular LA and AI, with theory and challenging perspectives may stem from an over reliance on constrained data sets and traditional research methods (Perrotta and Selwyn, 2020; Poquet, et al., 2021). For instance, the majority of LA research findings tend to be derived from relatively small-scale, or single course studies (Dawson, et al., 2019). As an example in LA, Dawson and colleagues (2019) draw on Hevner's research maturity model to demonstrate that LA has stalled in a cycle of exploratory works. Although such exploratory research is critical for a field and brings much creativity and rapid trial and testing, there is also a need to progress works towards large scale replication studies and the establishment of new theory and revision of existing theories. However, the practicalities of undertaking AI in education and LA research is funnelled more towards the analysis of individual courses in lieu of multi-age and multidisciplinary data sets derived from traditional methodologies (Arocha, 2021; Dawson, et al., 2019; Jacobson et al, 2016). The theoretical framing of these works and interpretation of findings are often based on an education theory that was conceptualized in a markedly different era and learning context. Conventional learning theories were conceived for learning contexts with limited technology mediation, let alone the use of advanced technologies and intelligent agents to the extent that we are seeing today. These technologies have a significant influence on how courses are designed and delivered alongside instructional recommendations. More critically, they influence the concept of agency and autonomy as recommendations are often made without awareness of the unique developmental needs of each student and without regard to the longer term impacts of metacognitive skills being replaced by automated systems. Questions arise regarding the existing framing of learning theories and whether they remain applicable in an education system that provides for automation, recommendations, and intervention of learning misconceptions or for that matter establishing common standards and judgment of learning. The lack of alignment between conventional theories and advanced technologies mediating new learning experiences points clearly to the need for a revision and postulation of new frameworks, views, theories that include these agents as members of the learning ecosystem. In this special section, we invite publications that address, but are not limited to, one or more of the following topics: * Posing a novel theory that is reflective of changing education dynamics. In particular, the modes of learning at the intersection of human and artificial cognition. * Revising learning theory in consideration of advanced technologies. * Presenting methodologies that seek to operationalise and test education and learning theory, including newer theories - such as Activity Theory, Complex Systems Modeling, Actor Network Theory, Connectivism, and Networked Learning. * Advancing theoretical and methodological understandings to aid adoption and impact of educational technology. Manuscripts should not normally exceed 6000 words, including references. All contributions should be prepared following the BJET Guidelines for Authors and submitted via the BJET manuscript submission system see: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/14678535/homepage/ForAuthors.h… All submissions will go through the usual process of blind peer-review. The editors will select papers for the special issue on the basis of their academic merit, quality and overall coverage of the theme of the special section. Important Dates: Full paper submission: 20th November 2022 Last Article Acceptances: 24th April 2023 Articles published online as soon as copyediting is completed.
