Please join! Prefiguring and Resisting Tech Workshop, Aug 18-19
by Vera Khovanskaya 20 May '22

20 May '22

Dear all, We welcome you to submit provocations for a forthcoming workshop, 'Prefiguring and Resisting Tech: Towards Just Transitions' — the purpose of this workshop is to convene a group of movement-aligned and community-committed academics to reflect on our practices and learn ways of working towards more just futures. The workshop will be held remotely on August 18th and 19th 2022. We ask participants to submit a provocation of no more than 1000 words, whether an essay, analysis, story, or work of art by June 20. You can find the workshop proposal here (and attached below): https://justtransitions.ucsd.edu/events/2022-prefiguring-and-resisting-tech… <https://justtransitions.ucsd.edu/events/2022-prefiguring-and-resisting-tech…> Please feel free to share this invitation with others you think may be interested. Vera Khovanskaya, on behalf of our organizing group Esther Choi (UCSD Ethnic Studies), Bonnie Fan (Carnegie Mellon HCII), Sarah Fox (Carnegie Mellon HCII), Lilly Irani (UCSD Communication, Science Studies, and Design Lab), Vera Khovanskaya (UCSD Communication and Design Lab) Prefiguring and Resisting Tech: Towards Just Transitions The technology industry’s role in surveillance and exploitation requires a response and transition to more equitable, democratic, and solidaristic futures. Activists and scholars can draw on a rich foundation of theoretical and pragmatic work that imagines and enacts alternative futures to the dictates of racial capitalism and settler colonialism. The solidarity economy, for example, is a framework <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__solidarityeconomy.us_d…> that seeks to network and build alternative economic practices and structures based on shared values that include cooperation, sustainability, equity, participatory democracy, and pluralism. Just transition centers justice and equity, along with reparations and redress for past harms, in the transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy. Abolition proposes the end of policing, imprisonment, and surveillance as punitive practices and creating alternative forms of care, repair, and transformation to replace them. As university workers, we struggle with how universities have historically created knowledge and conducted “community engagement” for state and corporate needs while ameliorating tensions and threats to the legitimacy of dominant orders. We believe that academic workers can be disloyal to these histories, but only by theorizing and acting against how institutions structure our labor, knowledge, and relationships. The broad aims of this workshop are to gather university workers involved in technology and others who have a stake in these issues to share knowledge, develop stronger analyses of our movement-aligned work, and build relationships for future work and organizing. As conveners, we are researchers who engage issues of technology in alignment with social movements, community organizations, and unions. We draw lessons from and hope to be accountable to frontline communities, especially working class communities and Black, Indigenous, and people of color who are most directly harmed by technologies of surveillance, gentrification, and extraction. We seek proposals that offer grounded accounts and analyses of topics such as: Role of technology and technologists and their practices in social and solidarity movements Solidarity economies, worker-cooperatives, regenerative economies, economic democracy, etc. Pilot projects, technology experiments, and the role of the public sector in authorizing or governing them Strategies to push back against surveillance, labor exploitation, environment, whether escape, structural change, or resistance, for overcoming these forces in the near- and long-term Transformative scholarship, in theory and practice Histories of academic complicity and violence (e.g., predictive policing, unaccountable research) Just transitions, climate justice, environmental racism Transportation and mobility justice (rider and worker equity, accessibility, environmental effects) Alternative metrics and evaluation practices for tech and economic development Abolitionist technology practices and liberatory design approaches Analysis of and responses to false solutions (e.g., “false climate solutions” <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__climatefalsesolutions.…>) proposed as answers to social movement demands Political, infrastructural, and/or ideological issues do we see as posing a threat to organizing alternatives What to do about personal or institutional complicities and harms, whether mitigation or means of repair (e.g. transformative justice) Confirmed participants include Kendra Albert (Berkman Klein Center, Cyberlaw Clinic), Sig Giordano (Kennesaw State University), Sarah T Hamid (Carceral Tech Resistance Network), Wayne Yang (UCSD). Participation logistics: this workplace will take place virtually, tentatively scheduled for August 18th and 19th 2022 (to include international participants, we aim for early morning Pacific Time). We ask participants to submit a provocation of no more than 1000 words, whether an essay, analysis, story, or work of art by June 20. The submission should speak to how your liberation is tied up in the work described and what harms, however unintentionally, your positionality might risk in this work. These will be circulated among workshop participants in advance, for discussion during the workshop. Submissions due: June 20, 2022 Notification of acceptance: Jul 1, 2022 Workshop: August 18th and 19th 2022 Please submit your provocations to just-transitions(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:just-transitions@ucsd.edu>. For those who do not have full-time employment, we can offer a stipend on request to support food, caregiving support, and time for participating in the workshop. Accomodations: We plan on providing live captioning. Please do not hesitate to request additional accommodations that would facilitate your participation in the workshop.

Online seminar 25 May | Roxana Radu: Digital sovereignty in the new era of Internet Governance
by Orsolya Gulyás 20 May '22

20 May '22

Dear colleagues, A quick reminder to register for the second edition of our Data Sovereignty Seminar Series on 25 May at 15.00 (CEST) with Roxana Radu (University of Oxford). In addition, we would also like to already bring to your attention our third seminar on 16 June at 17.00 (CEST) with Nick Couldry and Ulises Mejias on resisting data colonialism. The event series is jointly organised by the Center for Digitalisation, Democracy and Innovation at the Brussels School of Governance and the UNU-CRIS/VUB Chair on Digital Sovereignty. Registration: https://brussels-school.be/event/data-sovereignty-seminar-series Seminar #2: Roxana Radu - Digital sovereignty in the new era of Internet Governance Description Internet governance is entering a new phase characterized by fragmentation and polarization. These recent trends make it harder to imagine a unitary network bound by globally agreed norms. National spaces of control, ideological divides and the increased bifurcation of Internet-based technologies are likely to reconfigure the way in which the Internet is governed. Various models of digital sovereignty drive this transformation, affecting the power limitations and safeguards possible. This talk examines projects of digital sovereignty in the making and their implications for how the Internet is globally governed. Programme 15:00-15:05: Welcome and introduction by Orsolya Gulyás & Clément Perarnaud (BSoG) 15:05-15:25: Presentation by Roxana Radu (University of Oxford) 15:25-15:35: Discussion by Mauro Santaniello (University of Salerno) 15:35-16:00: Q&A with the audience Time: May 25, 2022 at 03:00 PM CEST Best wishes, Orsolya Gulyás and Clément Perarnaud ORSOLYA GULYÁS PhD Researcher +32 485 980 172 Brussels School of Governance<https://brussels-school.be/> Pleinlaan 5 - 1050 Brussels

by Piotr Siuda 20 May '22

20 May '22

CALL FOR PAPERS: CYBERCRIME AT THE 56TH HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES Research of the Internet as a site for communication and networking has focused mostly on legal practices. Recent years have nevertheless seen a significant increase in cybercrime, including illegal commerce being conducted on various platforms. In the public eye, much of it is associated with the non-indexed Dark Web, but research tells us that it is likewise present on many clear web sites and being conducted via numerous social media and instant messaging services. Rarely a day goes by without cybercrime being reported in the media. Examples include online trading in narcotics and other illicit goods and services, the hijacking of individual accounts and organizational systems, extortion, exit scams, fake investments in cryptocurrencies and even blatant information manipulation for financial gain. This minitrack aim is to give insights and develop a theoretical and practical understanding of issues related to cybercrime without excluding any methodological approaches. We welcome conceptual, theoretical, empirical and methodological papers that enrich our understanding of illegal online practices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Trading in illicit goods and services online The use of the Dark Web as a marketplace or information sharing environment Using social media and instant messaging services for illicit trading Ransomware Phishing and scamming Cryptomarkets and cryptocurrencies Information manipulation for commercial gain Dark Web deception, risk, security, and privacy Differences between legal and illegal online trading Regional differences in cybercrime Investigative techniques and methods for cybercrimes SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Author Instructions: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ Esports minitrack website: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-55/internet-and-the-digitaleconomy/#cybercr… IMPORTANT DATES: April 15, 2022: Paper submission begins (through HICSS systems: https://hicsssubmissions.org/) June 15, 2022: Paper submission deadline (11:59 pm HST) August 17,2022: Notification of acceptance/rejection September 22, 2022: Deadline for authors to submit final manuscript for publication October 1, 2022: Deadline for at least one author for each paper to register for the conference MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS: Tuomas Harviainen (Primary Contact) Tampere University tuomas.harviainen(a)tuni.fi Piotr Siuda Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz piotr.siuda(a)ukw.edu.pl Robert W.
