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.

HICSS CYBERCRIME mini-track CFP
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.

HICSS Mini-track on Culture, Identity & Inclusion CFP
by Filippo Trevisan 19 May '22

19 May '22

With apologies for cross-posting. Our Digital & Social Media Mini-track: Culture, Identity & Inclusion looks forward to receiving your papers by June 15,2022 and welcomes paper reviewers. To serve as a reviewer, please email: nlevins(a)american.edu<mailto:nlevins@american.edu> or dcogburn(a)american.edu<mailto:dcogburn@american.edu> or trevisan(a)american.edu<mailto:trevisan@american.edu>. The conference is scheduled to be held on Maui from January 3-6, 2023. To submit a paper, please see: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ Here is a description of our Mini-track: Technology-facilitated social media present opportunities for new frontiers of research as they interact with cultures, identities, and diversity. As digital inequalities are on the rise globally, the global pandemic makes understanding the internet and the related myriad divides, as well as increased reliance on digital technologies and social networking platforms more vital than ever. Recognizing the kaleidoscope and intersectionality of culture, gender, and identity, this mini-track presents innovative research across a wide range of methods and subjects. Exploring how social media technologies become interconnected with and embedded in existing socio-cultural contexts is essential to assess how these platforms affect key power dynamics in society. This mini-track sets the scene for analyzing better how digital and social media can foster (or serve as hindering factors for) diversity and inclusion in multiple settings, especially in a world coping with renewed calls for social justice and a pandemic increasingly indicating long-term impacts. In sum, this mini-track highlights findings from a range of disciplines and methodologies that focus on the three I’s of internet, identity, and inclusion as they intersect with transformational social media and perhaps now more than ever impact human lives. Possible topics include: * The pandemic & roles of social media in inclusion and/or exclusion * Diversity, equity & inclusion in Digital & Social Media * Inter-cultural and Cross-cultural use of Social Media * Crowdsourcing Processes and Inclusion Issues * Designing Social Media for Inclusion * Social media, identity, and collective action * Gendered Social Media * The construction and circulation of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion, and disability through the use of social media * Online Harassment * Identity Enactment, Adoption, and Policing * Reproduction of biases * Governance and Rules in Action * Aging and Social Media * Inter-generational use of Social Media * Impact and influence of social media on diversity * Social Media, MOOCS, & Inclusion * Social Media & Implicit Bias * Social Media, Culture & Change/Social Innovation * Social Media & Intersectionality * Social media, access and remote learning * Social media, accessibility, and digital disability * Social Media, Disruptive Innovation, and Capacity-Building for All * Inclusion & Platform Governance Minitrack Co-Chairs: Nanette Levinson American University nlevins(a)american.edu<mailto:nlevins@american.edu> Derrick Cogburn American University dcogburn(a)american.edu<mailto:dcogburn@american.edu??> Filippo Trevisan American University trevisan(a)american.edu<mailto:trevisan@american.edu> ——— Dr. Filippo Trevisan Associate Professor - School of Communication Deputy Director - Institute on Disability and Public Policy (IDPP) American University 4400 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington, DC - 20016 Tel: +1 (202) 885 6930 Email: trevisan(a)american.edu<mailto:trevisan@american.edu> Web: www.filippotrevisan.net<http://www.filippotrevisan.net/> Twitter: @filippotrevisan<https://twitter.com/filippotrevisan> Now in paperback: “Disability Rights Advocacy Online: Voice, Empowerment and Global Connectivity<https://www.routledge.com/Disability-Rights-Advocacy-Online-Voice-Empowerme…>” NY: Routledge, 2017.

Mapping data practices and ethical awareness in government organisations
by Schaefer, M.T. (Mirko) 19 May '22

19 May '22

Dear all, at Utrecht Data School, we developed the Data Ethics Decision Aid<https://dataschool.nl/en/deda/>, as a dialogic process for critically reviewing data projects and assessing their social impact (see also Franzke, Muis, Schäfer 2021<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10676-020-09577-5>). We use DEDA for participatory observation of data practices, mostly in (local) government organisations. By now we have collected fieldnotes from more than 80 DEDA workshops. Here is finally our paper on how we use DEDA for participatory observation, and how it enables mapping data practices and ethics in government organisations: Siffels, Lotje, David van den Berg, Mirko Tobias Schäfer, Iris Muis. 2022. Public Values and Technological Change: Mapping how municipalities grapple with data ethics. http://mtschaefer.net/media/uploads/docs/Public-Values-and-Technological-Ch… It will appear in the forthcoming OA volume<https://link.springer.com/book/9783030961794>: Hepp, Andreas, Juliane Jarke, Leif Kramp (eds). New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies: The Ambivalences of Data Power. Palgrave. At the forthcoming DataPower Conference (Bremen), Utrecht Data School together with Theo Röhle (University of Gothenburg) and Petter Falk (Karlstad University) will present preliminary findings from mapping data practices using DEDA in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany. We invite critical data studies colleagues to speak with us about expanding this participatory observation approach across more national contexts.

Call for Applications for the 2022 AusSTS workshop
by Kieran Hegarty 18 May '22

18 May '22

***Call for Applications*** AusSTS2022: “Generation”<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faussts.wo…> Dates: Thurs 28th and Fri 29 July 2022 As STS practitioners, we grapple with the understanding that generating knowledge and ideas are always practices in becoming, unfinished, and multiple, never isolated. We are asked to think about the socio-technical, material-discursive, and political relations that generate some worlds and ideas, and exclude others. These multiple configurations speak of the inevitability of interdependence, relationality, permeability, and boundaries. To think about generation in multiple senses means to think through the humble awareness of our indebtedness to other bodies, knowledges, histories, ecologies—as a part of a community in constant formation. This awareness can reflect in the ethics of our own praxis. It can inspire us to bring into conversation different generations and sensitivities of STS. It can also speak of the knowledges and material practices that shape memories of past generations, and expectations and promises about future ones. It can mean asking what relations get remembered, what relations are maintained, and who is harmed or excluded in the process. AusSTS is committed to bringing together STS scholars from across Australasia by offering a space where these conversations and reflections can happen freely and generously. Like last year’s workshop, AusSTS 2022 will be a multi-sited event hosted across four locations: Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin, and Wellington. The event will include shared online keynotes, short presentations, as well as local activities and get-togethers. We invite proposals for short presentations from early career and PhD/Masters researchers that respond broadly to the theme of ‘generation’. This includes, but is not limited to: * Generation as era: from historical epochs (18th century, 19th century, 20th century) to population clusters (boomers, millennials, gen z), to cultural movements (beat generation, MTV generation, digital natives, TikTok teens) * Generation as reproduction: intergenerational trauma, the passing on of genes, the mutation of viruses, interventions into the reproduction of humans, animals, crops, and other biological matter * Generation as innovation: AI, machine learning, and other computational processes that self-generate images, categories, or actions (e.g. generative adversarial networks (GANs)), the Anthropocene and new technologies for energy generation * Generation as creativity: pedagogy and the creation of generative spaces, generative frameworks, theories and methods for research, practices and techniques for generating art, language, and social relations * Generation as hope: regeneration, the next generation, techniques of conservation/preservation in the face of extinction/disaster/destruction Confirmed keynote speakers: * Anne Pollock (King’s College London) * Intergenerational Plenary: Hana Burgess (UoA), Mythily Meher (UoA), Billy van Uitregt (VUW) Structure, cost and accessibility: The workshop is a multi-sited, face-to-face event that will take place across four locations. Registration costs will vary depending on the events planned at each location: * Melbourne * Sydney * Darwin * Wellington We ask participants to apply to attend one of these face-to-face locations. All sites will take part in shared online keynote presentations. Each site will then host their own set of activities ranging from short presentations, workshops, and field trips. We endeavour to make all face-to-face venues accessible for our participants. Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions regarding accessibility requirements or have specific venue accessibility requests. All keynote events will be free and live-streamed for those who are unable to attend the workshop in-person. Details about cost will be shared in the coming months. AusSTS is committed to making these events affordable for all our participants, especially our HDRs and ECRs. Submission guidelines: This workshop departs from the traditional symposia format of long papers and short discussion. Participants can expect to present a short paper consisting of a question, problem, or provocation and take part in panel discussions and cross-disciplinary dialogues. We invite postgraduate and early career researchers (ECRs) from all disciplines and areas of expertise to apply, including life, environmental and materials science, social sciences and humanities, artists, social activists, and other practitioners.

WAIM working conference 6-7 June 2022 in Washington DC (free attendance + travel support available)
by Kevin G Crowston 18 May '22

18 May '22

The Work in the Age of Intelligent Machine (WAIM) Research Coordination Network<https://waim.network/> announces a final call for the working conference to be held 6-7 June 2022 in Washington DC. Travel grants are available for selected participants (see below). The WAIM network aims to promote disciplinary convergence in relation to work in the age of intelligent machines. The use of intelligent machines—digital technologies that feature data-driven forms of customization, learning, and autonomous action—is rapidly growing and has and will continue to impact most if not all industries and work domains. Convergence is defined by the National Science Foundation as “the deep integration of knowledge, techniques, and expertise from multiple fields to form new and expanded frameworks” (NSF 17-065<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2017/nsf17065/nsf17065.jsp>). By embracing research concepts and approaches from other disciplines, researchers transform our emergent conceptual foundations and concomitant strategies in relation to the transformation of work via intelligent machines. The conference will feature a set of panels bringing together leading researchers and practitioners from diverse approaches to demonstrate the value of convergent research on work and intelligent machines. It will as well include small-group discussions bringing together authors and a mentor for discussion around work-in-progress papers and grant proposals. These groups will provide both feedback for developing and refining convergent ideas, as well as a place to make sense of how to navigate the world’s “new normal” as a researcher. Attendance at the conference is free (though capacity limited). You can register to attend in person here: https://forms.gle/67iEsTry6VCoe6o78 In light of the recent spike in COVID transmission, at conferences in particular, masks will be strongly recommended indoors during the event and meals will be outdoors to the extent possible. Remote participation will also be possible. Register to participate remotely here: https://forms.gle/ia5xiYvYUiyUc4V66 Travel funding (domestic advance purchase economy class airfare, ground transportation and hotel) will be provided for selected participants, with a focus on supporting doctoral students and earlier career researchers.

WEBCAST MAY 18: Women in the Africa Community Networks Movement / Les femmes au sein du mouvement des réseaux communautaires en Afrique
by Joly MacFie 18 May '22

18 May '22

This is coming up in a couple of hours. I recall at one of the CNX sessions it being said that women made better CN stewards than men, for a variety of reasons, but mainly because they were more reliable long term. Cela arrive dans quelques heures. Je me souviens qu'à l'une des séances du CNX, on avait dit que les femmes faisaient de meilleurs délégués syndicaux du RC que les hommes, pour diverses raisons, mais principalement parce qu'elles étaient plus fiables à long terme.
