FINAL Governing Conversations Event: 9/08 at 10 AM ET Interoperability (Cybersecurity)
by David Morar 30 Aug '22

30 Aug '22

*Join Governing Conversations <http://bit.ly/GovConv> next week on Thursday September 8th at 10 AM ET for our final event: Interoperability! Register here! <https://yale.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gzk_HJUtTEKD0en2wJLmLQ>* A solution for a whole range of digital governance concerns, from access to platform regulation, that seems to be increasingly discussed is that of interoperability. A technical solution that requires a proper policy implementation, the concept of interoperability has the potential to both free users from constraints that are not useful to them, and to better protect them from cyber attacks, when applied to tools, models and standards in cybersecurity. Our panelists will discuss policy proposals, technical perspectives as well as more general theoretical ideas about what interoperability can and can’t do, and its inherent limitations. *Moderator*: *Ian Brown*, Visiting professor, CyberBRICS FGV *Scholars*: *Mehtab Khan*, Director, Yale/Wikimedia Initiative on Intermediaries and Information *Sukhi Gulati, *Internet Policy Research Assistant, MIT Internet Policy Research Institute *Amandine Le Pape*, Co-founder, Matrix.org; *Register here!* <https://yale.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gzk_HJUtTEKD0en2wJLmLQ> More about the Cybersecurity Governing Conversations <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/governing-conversations/#cybersecur…> events Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) Center for Technology and Society <https://direitorio.fgv.br/pesquisa/centro-de-tecnologia-e-sociedade> & CyberBRICS <https://cyberbrics.info/> Project joined the Governing Conversations event series, as a co-sponsor for the Cybersecurity theme! Following the success of the Platform Governance <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/governing-conversations/#platformgo…> and Access & Accessibility <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/governing-conversations/#accessibil…> themes of the event series initiated by the NYU Digital Interests Lab and Yale Law Information Society Project, the third and final theme, Cybersecurity, benefits from the knowledge and expertise of two world-class institutions from Rio de Janeiro, helmed by Prof. Luca Belli. The Cybersecurity Governing Conversations shines a spotlight on cybersecurity issues related to the Global South, the BRICS and the topic of interoperability. The first event in the theme, *Cybersecurity in the Global South* <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/governing-conversations/#globalsouth> *,* was on July 21st at 10 am ET (*video here!* <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ilhg-SMc34>), with the following event, *BRICS and Cybersecurity* <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/governing-conversations/#BRICS>, on August 18th at 10 am ET (*video here! <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oJBaPI4v90>*), and the final event, *Interoperability <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/governing-conversations/#interop>*, on September 8th at 10 AM ET (*registration here! <https://yale.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gzk_HJUtTEKD0en2wJLmLQ>*).

by Hashem Elassad 30 Aug '22

Hi there Definition: Virtual Communities of Practice: An online group dedicated to a profession or craft and not just a product. https://www.commsor.com/post/understanding-communities-of-practice Goal of the project: Demonstrate that this is a major growing trend, especially within companies. Context: those communities are just thought of as "not product" communities and companies are not aware of How major a trend this is. Also, non-academic people refer to communities of practice in very different terms. My question: how would you go about demonstrating such a trend ? May We Seek What We Need and Find What We Seek Researcher/ Content Curator & Creator/ Writer (Psychology/ Learning / Career Development) Hashem ElAssad If you find something interesting on my LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/hashemelassad/>, let's chat about it!

Symposium: Wikipedia and Education in the Time of the “Crisis of Information”
by Mathieu.O'Neil 30 Aug '22

Symposium: Wikipedia and Education in the Time of the “Crisis of Information” Friday 16 September 2022, 9am-4pm Anne Harding Centre - Building 24, University of Canberra In the age of the infodemic and growing distrust towards the institutions of liberal democracy there can be little doubt that information is in crisis. The Wikipedia and Education in the Time of the “Crisis of Information” Symposium brings together academics who use Wikipedia as part of their teaching practice or analyse wiki data, and key actors bridging the academia-Wikipedia divide. Participants will share their experiences, address Wikipedia’s potential to address the “crisis of information”, and critically reflect on what role educational institutions can play in this respect. The symposium will begin with the launch of the book Six Fact-Checking Lessons for Kids, which compiles educational resources developed as part of the Co-Developing a New Approach to Media Literacy in the Attention Economy research project. This project is part of the Affiliated Schools Research program, in which researchers from the University of Canberra collaborate with ACT school teachers.

Call for Papers: Mobile Media Use Among Children and Youth in Asia
by Andrew Yee Zi Han 30 Aug '22

30 Aug '22

Restricted Dear All, I am currently editing a Springer volume titled "Mobile Media Use Among Children and Youth in Asia" and am issuing a Call for Papers that deal broadly in topics related to digital media use and youth in Asia. The book volume will also be indexed under Scopus, so the chapters will have decent reach and visibility, and will be great for emerging scholars working on Asia-related research. This edited volume is aimed at canvassing research across Asia, especially among countries traditionally less represented in the literature. The hope is this can serve as a platform for emerging scholars in the region to showcase their work. The full CfP can be found here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GMSE4-ipYkxImKsZ-6tDUZGPhOc4rVQG/view<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GMSE4-ipYkxImKsZ-6tDUZGPhOc4rVQG/view?usp=…>). The abstract submission deadline is 15th September 2022. Full submissions will only be due end-Feb 2023. If you, your colleagues, or your students have any questions, please feel free to drop me message at andrew_yee(a)sutd.edu.sg.
