by Riki Thompson 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Dear all, Calling all dating app researchers. The deadline to submit proposals for the IPrA 2023 conference in Brussels 9th-14th July 2023 is coming up on November 1. We invite you to consider joining our panel “Communicative practices in online dating”. The call for papers with a link to the programme page and a panel overview can be found here: https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP<https://pragmatics.international/page/CfP>. Please note that contributions to our panel will have to be submitted separately as panel contributions by 1st November 2022. Spontaneously submitted panel contributions that are not accepted by the panel organizers will be evaluated as individual presentations. Note that you can submit your abstract for consideration by the organizers of one panel only. Abstracts should be between 250 and 500 words and based on research that is (nearly) completed, with a well-formulated research question, and with a good description of the types of data used (if the work is empirical) and of the approach. We will also be proposing a special issue on communicative practices in online dating to the journal Discourse, Context, and Media and invite panel participants to join. If you want to know more about the panel or the submission process, please contact us. Best Will, Riki and Elisabeth Panel Organisers: Elisabeth Muth Andersen (Department of Language and Communication, University of Southern Denmark - elan(a)sdu.dk<mailto:elan@sdu.dk>) Will Gibson (UCL, Institute of Education. UK – w.gibson(a)ucl.ac.uk<mailto:w.gibson@ucl.ac.uk>) Riki Thompson (Writing Studies & Digital Rhetoric, University of Washington - rikitiki(a)uw.edu<mailto:rikitiki@uw.edu>) Dating Apps have fundamentally changed the communicative practices of dating with 270 million adult users of dating apps worldwide in 2020. This panel brings together studies of textual interaction among dating app users, analysing in detail the interactional features of these encounters. Drawing particularly on Conversation Analysis and cognate areas such as interactional pragmatics, Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA), and Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), the panel explores a diverse but interrelated set of issues describing communicative practices in online dating. Such issues may involve but are not limited to the ways that users use location information and orient to place to generate topics and to organise offline meetings, the negotiation of gender norms and practices associated with online dating, and the relationship between education, age, and forms of talk. The analyses in the panel are expected to pay attention to the distinctive textual features of these chats such as the structure of actions (e.g. compliments, invitations etc.) and messages (cf. Licoppe 2021), practices involving humour and flirting, and the sequential organization of interaction. Papers could also address the role of profile information in structuring the interaction, the use of particular communicative practices such as emoji, or platform affordances to facilitate particular types of conversation. Together, these papers provide an important advancement on existing studies of face-to-face dating (Korobov 2011; Stokoe 2010; Turowetz & Hollander 2012), and a critical contribution to the small but growing body of work on online dating and language (Kavroulaki 2021; Licoppe 2020; Mortensen 2017; Thompson 2022), showing how modern technologies are radically altering the ways that people manage dating.

The Markup Digital Inequality Investigation
by Joly MacFie 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Useful methodology links... As I already joked on another list, 'The Markup' a very apt outlet for this research. joly ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Aaron Sankin <aaron(a)themarkup.org> Date: Wed, Oct 19, 2022 at 10:43 AM Hi, I’m a reporter with a nonprofit news organization called The Markup <http://www.themarkup.org>. In partnership with the Associated Press, we just published an investigation revealing that four major, national internet service providers–AT&T, Lumen, Verizon, and EarthLink–have been charging customers in the same city the same price for wildly different home internet speeds. And the addresses that were offered the worst deals disproportionately tended to live in neighborhoods that were lower-income, less White, and historically redlined. For example, in New Orleans, we found AT&T offering an internet connection at one address that was hundreds of times slower than what was offered at another address in town–both for $55 a month. The slow speed offer didn’t even come close to meeting the current FCC definition of broadband. Our investigation is based on an analysis of more than 800,000 internet service offers made on real-world addresses in 38 cities across the country. This investigation builds on a 2018 NDIA report <https://www.digitalinclusion.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/NDIA-Tier-Flatt…> from Bill Callahan and Angela Siefer about “tier flattening,” a practice where ISPs eliminate low-priced speed tiers—thereby pushing customers who can only get slow connections have to pay the same as customers with better connections. Since the NDIA community has been active on this issue, I wanted to share our work with the listserv. You can read the story here: https://themarkup.org/still-loading/2022/10/19/dollars-to-megabits-you-may-… Here is a link to an in-depth methodology detailing our full results and a step-by-step breakdown of how we conducted our analysis: https://themarkup.org/show-your-work/2022/10/19/how-we-uncovered-disparitie… All of the data we used to conduct our address-level analysis can be found on our GitHub page: https://github.com/the-markup/investigation-isp And if there are any journalists on here, we’ve also published a guide with tips about how to use our data to localize our investigation to tell a story about the digital divide in your city, You can find that here: https://themarkup.org/story-recipes/2022/10/19/journalists-investigate-whic… If you decide to share the story on social, please tag me or our newsroom account so we’re aware.

The journal encourages inter- and multidisciplinary works combining for example Cultural Studies, History, Religious studies, Theology, Ludology, and Psychology. All submitted articles will be reviewed on a double-blind peer-review basis. ================ Video games are full of images, so it would be a good idea to include some of them, illustrating your argumentation. But, for any image, you need to hold the copyright. Please ensure that! Before publishing with the journal, you need to sign a copyright declaration which we provide. Please submit all images as .jpg or .png file(s) due to formatting issues. Besides your contribution, we need keywords (up to 10), an abstract of up to 200 words, and a brief biographical paragraph (100 to 150 words) with your current institutional address and email address. Please consult the gamevironments submission style sheet before submitting your paper, as well as the Help Desk for some general principles. You find all information on our journal website: https://journals.suub.uni-bremen.de/index.php/gamevironments/about/submissi… There is no article processing charge. If you are ready, just submit your manuscript via our journal website: https://journals.suub.uni-bremen.de/index.php/gamevironments/about/submissi… Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly: games2(a)uni-bremen.de. ================ PAPER TYPES We include different categories of texts in our journal: a) regular academic articles Articles should be between 5.000 and 10.000 words in length. In general, a clear structure is of course helpful to understand your argumentation and should include an introduction, discussion of the relevance of your idea, theoretical frame, used method(s) and case study. Articles are subjected to an external double-blind peer review process. b) reports Sometimes you may just want to give an impression of your current research or an introduction to a new project. Also, you should get applause in case you acquired some money out of the roughly 5% of successful third-party funding. Please feel free to do so :) Reports should give insight into a new project, idea/concept or other forms of current research. An analytical and critical approach towards your main questions is central. Further, include relevant theoretical/methodological approaches as well as aspects of necessary future research. In general, such reports should be between 3000 and 5000 words in length. They are not peer-reviewed, but we as journal editors (or in the case of a special issue the guest editors) will give some feedback if necessary. c) interviews Next to academic articles we are interested in projects related to games, gamers, gaming and religion, culture, and society. For instance, if you have an interview with a game designer, a pedagogue working with games, etc., please feel free to share it in our journal! In your contribution, please provide information why the interview is relevant for this research area and include possible implications or interesting aspects for future research. In general, interviews should be between 2000 and 7000 words in length. They are not peer-reviewed, but we as journal editors (or in the case of a special issue the guest editors) will give some feedback if necessary. d) book reviews There is a flow in publications dealing with games and gaming, so it could be interesting to introduce and discuss some of them. If you are reading a new book that you think can be helpful for other researchers, feel free to propose a review. Authors should critically engage with the book. A book review should consist of an introduction, a main section that connects your critical thoughts on the book to existing research and points out relevant aspects of necessary future research, as well as a conclusion with some general thoughts about the book. Reviews should be around 1000 words. Please note that in most cases, the journal will not be able to provide a free copy for reviews, but will try to source a free copy for you. e) game reviews Due to the fact that we are a games journal that wants to collect, systematize and further develop the various recent multidisciplinary approaches in the research area, we need to know our way around in our field, namely GAMES! So, if you are playing a game which you think can be an interesting and promising object of investigation, please send us proposals for a game review. Authors should critically engage with the game and its context in a scientific way. A game review should consist of an introduction, a main section that connects your critical thoughts to existing research and points out relevant aspects of necessary future research, as well as a conclusion. Reviews should be around 1000 words. Please note that in most cases, the journal will not be able to provide a free copy for reviews. ================ -- Dr. Dr. Lisa Kienzl (sie/ihr | she/her) Literaturen und Medien der Religion | Institut für Religionswissenschaft und Religionspädagogik http://www.religion.uni-bremen.de Lab "Media and Religion" | ZeMKI, Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/zemki/labs/media-and-religion Managing editor gamevironments https://www.gamevironments.uni-bremen.de/ Universität Bremen Sportturm (SpT) Postfach 330 440 28359 Bremen T. +49 (0)421 218 67912

The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. These include providing robust services in highly dynamic and extreme environments, how to minimize energy demands or zero out battery usage in favor of renewable energy sources, how to smartly blend multiple wireless technologies available to a network node (including across radically different bands), and how to make wireless on-demand networks and services self-configurable, adaptive, self-organizing, and self-healing in a wealth of different context, each exhibiting its own peculiar constraints. IFIP WONS, now at its eighteenth edition, has established itself as a high quality forum to address the above and related challenges.

Open Access Book: Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication
by Alexandra Ketchum 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

I wanted to let folks know that the *open access* version of *Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication* is available at: https://press.library.concordia.ca/projects/engage-in-public-scholarship Description of the book: "Public scholarship – sharing research with audiences outside of academic settings – has become increasingly necessary to counter the rise of misinformation, to fill gaps from cuts to traditional media, and to increase the reach of important scholarship by making it available to the public. Engaging in these efforts often comes with the risk of harassment and threats – especially for women, people of colour, queer communities, and precariously employed workers. Engage in Public Scholarship! provides constructive guidance on how to translate research into inclusive public outreach while ensuring that such efforts are accessible for a range of abilities as well as safer for those involved. In clear and helpful language, Alex Ketchum discusses practices and planning for a great range of educational activities – from in-person and online events, conferences, and lectures, to publishing and working with the media, to social media activity, blogging, and podcasting. Using an intersectional feminist lens, this book serves as a concise approach to the key challenges and benefits of feminist and accessible public scholarship by surveying debates and offering solutions. Examining the needs for long-term preservation and impact, Ketchum discusses issues relating to digital sustainability, maintenance, the concept of “openness,” and how to be mindful of exclusionary barriers that impede access. A useful and readable guidebook for scholars, students, and content creators, Engage in Public Scholarship!offers both encouragement and toolkits for reaching audiences and sharing knowledge in practical and more equitable ways." __ Alex Ketchum, PhD Faculty Lecturer at the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at McGill University Director of the Just Feminist Tech and Scholarship Lab <http://www.justfeministtechandscholarshiplab.com/p/about.html> Founder of Disrupting Disruptions: disruptingdisruptions.com The Feminist and Accessible Publishing, Communications, and Technologies Series Author of Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication <https://www.concordia.ca/press/engage.html#order> (Concordia Uni Press, 2022) Author of Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses <https://www.concordia.ca/press/ingredients.html#read> (Concordia Uni Press, 2022) Creator of The Feminist Restaurant Project: thefeministrestaurantproject.com alexketchum.ca <http://www.alexketchum.ca/>| pronouns she/her
