CFP: JASIST Special Issue “Healthier Information Ecosystems”
by Brian McKernan 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Call for Papers This special issue of the *Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology* (*JASIST*), “Healthier Information Ecosystems,” will focus on the interconnected nature of online pathologies, draw attention to the socio-technical aspects of information technology, and animate interdisciplinary approaches to addressing these problems. Similar to Buckminster Fuller’s mission of “World Game,” we want to aid in developing a wide variety of solutions (including but not limited to technical, political, social, and educational) to the wicked problems of our time to make “the world work for 100% of humanity, in the shortest period of time… without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” We invite contributions that address the socio-cultural embeddedness of the problems plaguing information ecosystems and provide new ways of thinking about and strategies to achieve a healthier global information environment. We are actively seeking a broad approach to issues of healthier information ecosystems, including both theoretical and applied, qualitative and quantitative, as well as inside and outside the discipline of information science and technology. We are interested in transdisciplinary contributions that move beyond narrow, cross-sectional treatments of online phenomena to highlight the socio-technical dynamics of online spaces framed in cultural-historical contexts. Themes to Consider We are open to a wide variety of methodologies, including empirical, theoretical, and applied. We are also open to contributions that propose new approaches to exploring these issues and/or solutions from an interconnected information ecosystem perspective, but such papers should clearly explain how the proposed approaches will contribute to substantive solutions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Definitions of healthy ecosystems - Ethical models for evaluating the health of online information ecosystems - Multilevel metrics for evaluating the health of online information ecosystems Strategies for creating healthy ecosystems - Design and collective human dynamics - Disrupting systems of mis- and dis-information in politics and democracy, including national, state, and local politics. - Educational interventions Connecting information to other disciplines - Information as a social, political, economic, and cultural phenomenon - Interdisciplinary perspectives and approaches to information and media - The role of information ecosystems in conspiracy theories - Interactions between online and offline decision making and behavior - Information architecture, interface design and psychological biases of information consumers - Engaging with systems of power; who is advantaged and who is disadvantaged from current or future systems New methods of theory, research, and application of information ecosystems - Complex dynamics of information, social interaction and cognition - Social dynamics and digital media ecosystems - How policy, economic, and market forces shape algorithm design and development - Big data, open science, and their socio-cultural impacts - Hijacking of user-generated content and / or AI-generated content - Mis- and dis-information transference during the COVID 19 pandemic Papers should speak to the information science community, but do so in an interdisciplinary manner that centers on the interplay of information, technology, and society. We are eager to receive contributions from disciplines that might lend new perspectives, including (but not limited to) statistical physics, complex systems, biology, environmental science, economics, management science, organization science, communication, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy. All contributions should clarify how they can be used to help our information ecosystems work for the betterment of society at large, developing an inclusive and thus “healthy” ecosystem.

"Platform" fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study
by Christian Sandvig 19 Aug '22

19 Aug '22

Dearest AIR colleagues, The residential fellowship theme for 2023-24 at the Institute for Advanced Study School of Social Science will be "Platform" -- If you hold a Ph.D. and are working on this theme please consider applying! More information below. Please feel free to forward as appropriate. Christian -- Christian Sandvig Co-Director, Center for Ethics, Society, and Computing (ESC) University of Michigan http://umich.edu/~csandvig - http://esc.umich.edu/ --------------------------------------------- PLATFORM A platform aspires to operate across devices and experiences, de-emphasizing form in favor of content. A platform can be a foundation for political ideology, a web-based application for discourse, a system yielding multifaceted biomedical and communicative ends, and more. From a social science perspective, a platform can be understood as an infrastructure for action, an architecture or affordance that enables and constrains social, economic, and political possibilities, and conditions how we represent and experience the world. The Platform theme aims to incite scholarly thinking across platforms of different kinds, and in different mediums—including analog, electronic, and virtual—to explore the norms and practices that organize, permeate, and stem from them. What historical, technological, theoretical, and policy perspectives and methodologies are key for understanding platforms and how they operate in academia, government, and industry, as well as in the physical world and in the realm of social relations? The theme will explore ways to account for the expansion, rise, and influence of “the platform” in global society. In what ways do platforms—such as biomedical technologies–structure, reorganize, and consolidate science, knowledge, and markets? How does the dominance of private platforms produce forms of inequality—including along vectors of race, gender, class, nation, and region—and compel reimaginings of public infrastructure? How do today’s platforms differ from the social infrastructures and architectures of the past? Platforms have become default archives for both personal and institutional artifacts like data, text, sound, and images. Whose history is being preserved and whose is lost? How does exclusion from a platform—such as the deplatforming of controversial nations or figures, and particular forms of speech—highlight its power? These queries and considerations are suggestive and do not exhaust the concerns of this year long engagement of the Platform theme. Scholars from across the social sciences as well as the information sciences, the humanities, law, and related fields are encouraged to apply. The theme will be led by Alondra Nelson, Harold F. Linder Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS); Lisa Nakamura, Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor at the University of Michigan; and Christian Sandvig, H. Marshall McLuhan Collegiate Professor of Digital Media at the University of Michigan. APPLICATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15, 2022 https://www.ias.edu/sss/sss-fellowships
