Decades of infrastructure studies scholarship have demonstrated the increasingly central role played by large technical systems in societies around the world (Bratton, 2015; Edwards et al., 2009; Misa et al., 2003; Parks & Starosielski, 2015). From the beginning of the reform era, the Chinese state has consistently promoted its infrastructure-building achievements by connecting them with economic growth, social stability and poverty reduction. The success of China’s informational network-building efforts (Hong, 2017), resulting in the world’s largest population of internet users and a national tech industry challenging the global dominance of Silicon Valley, testify to the increasing importance of digital infrastructure ‘with Chinese characteristics’ (Stevens, 2019). As of 2020, the term xin jijian, or ‘New Infrastructure’, has become a top policy priority earmarking developments related to key domains of digital technology, including telecommunication networks, smart cities, industrial automation, cloud computing, and energy production (Meinhardt, 2020). Two years into the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, digital infrastructure remains a key priority for both state and tech industries, underpinning experiments in social governance, economic resilience and technological innovation (de Seta, 2021). But what is China’s digital infrastructure? How do networks overlap and intersect, producing new infrastructural effects or reinforcing existing inequalities? Where do large sociotechnical systems emerge and which user populations do they enlist? When do practices and protocols become standards, reshaping global flows of devices and data? In order to answers these questions, we invite contributions from a broad range of disciplines including media and communication studies, sociology, anthropology, science and technology studies, digital humanities, cultural studies, human geography and area studies. This special issue revolves around a broad understanding of digital infrastructure that ranges from physical and material components (QR codes, 5G stations, data centers, surveillance cameras) to software and quantification protocols (social apps, fintech, artificial intelligence, credit scoring), and from policy imaginaries (New Infrastructure, New Silk Road) to industry hypes (smart cities, blockchain, the metaverse). Open to historical reviews, contemporary accounts and future speculations, we welcome contributions that revisit and respond to concepts and theories from infrastructure studies, drawing on empirically driven analyses of networks, systems and standards to articulate new critical understandings of China’s digital infrastructure.

Call For Papers - HICSS 56 | Human-Centered Digital Privacy Solutions
by Michele A. L. Villagran 17 Apr '22

17 Apr '22

Conference: Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-56) | January 3-6, 2023*Minitrack: Human-centered Digital Privacy Solutions for Digital and Social Media**Track: Digital and Social Media**Submission Deadline: June 15, 2022 (11:59 PM HST)* The burgeoning growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions, the ubiquity of social media and digital repositories, and cross-platform data usage have raised the stakes of addressing digital privacy. Semi-structured digital records, like emails, and unstructured text, like social media posts, present a significant threat of privacy breaches. The enormity of data presents an uphill task to identify and mitigate private information on digital and social media platforms. While AI-powered privacy solutions are a welcomed step, it is only recently that researchers have focused on more human-centered and transdisciplinary (Polk, 2015) digital privacy solutions. Privacy protection is a legal and ethical responsibility of both public and private sector organizations, and AI development and deployment should account for the diversity of the target audience, the cultural contexts, and extant biases (Ehsan et al., 2021). Privacy solutions should not only be effective and accurate but also human-centered and accountable (Hepenstal et al., 2019). This minitrack aims to attract submissions on digital privacy solutions that bring different disciplines together, especially computer science, system sciences, information science, social science, and law. The focus of this minitrack is to bridge the gap between algorithmic development (automated decision-making systems, fair, accountable, and transparent systems) and human-centered approaches (usability studies, surveys, user interviews). We encourage submissions that address privacy concerns in digital and social media through inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches, including but not limited to AI and ML. Potential submissions for this minitrack should address (but are not limited to) the following research topics: - quantitative, qualitative, and computational studies on digital (e.g., images, webpages, emails, websites) and social media (e,g., Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, Weibo) privacy; - qualitative studies using interviews, surveys, and usability studies to identify the privacy behavior of users (when using digital and social media); - quantitative work on digital privacy using statistical analysis; - machine and deep learning approaches to identify, classify, and mitigate sensitive and private information on digital and social media platforms; - novel privacy solutions using explainable AI, transparent ML algorithms, or any interdisciplinary methods.

private sector access to public sector data in Scotland - evidence and CfP
by Angela Daly 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Hi everyone, I am the chair of a new independent expert group advising the Scottish Government on whether and how the private sector can access public sector (personal) datasets in Scotland. We are particularly interested in whether and how this can be done in ways which lead to genuine public benefit and engender public trust. Personally I'm also interested in public participatory approaches to this issue. The first meeting of the group was at the end of March and there will be material online soon about the group's make-up and what we discussed in the first meeting. For now, here's an official tweet: https://twitter.com/scotgoveconomy/status/1509217303887503360 Anyway, I wanted to let you all know about this and that I am open to hearing any views, and in particular, receiving any evidence e.g. based on your research on this topic, at any point over the IEG's lifetime. I hope this can help you to produce 'impact' from your work and actually influence what is happening here in Scotland. If you want to talk more, please email me! There are a few academics involved and some ex/part time academics within the Scottish Government - to that end we have a special track as part of Data for Policy 2022 (hybrid conference) on the IEG's theme - I would invite any of you researching on this topic to submit something and circulate to your networks: https://dataforpolicy.org/special-track-3-how-public-is-the-personal-for-sc… Thanks, Angela (Professor of Law and Technology, University of Dundee - adaly001(a)dundee.ac.uk)
