Zoom seminar: The problem with sex in social media
by Susanna Paasonen 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Dear all, Please join us on December 4th, 2-4 pm, EET, for a Zoom discussion on sex and social media content moderation. (Talks will also be recorded for later viewing at https://www.dataintimacy.fi/en/events/) The problem with sex in social media Sexual content is moderated on most social media platforms. At the same time, the diverse shapes that sexual content takes and the multiple roles that sexuality plays in the everyday lives of social media users mean that this no simple issue. Our seminar brings together an international group of experts to address the different stakes involved in publishing and moderating sexual content in social media. Speakers include a representative of Facebook, a scholar exploring sexual cultures in social media, and a sexual education expert working in public health. Moving from the overall rationale of social media community standards to the perceived value of sexual communication and questions connected to sexual rights, we ask why, how and where sex poses a problem and what social consequences all this entails. Christine Grahn: How community standards work Grahn is Facebook’ Public policy manager, Finland, since almost 6 years. Before that, she worked in the Swedish Government Offices, as well as the European Parliament Katrin Tiidenberg: Sex and platform power Tiidenberg is a social media researcher working at the Baltic Film and Media School of Tallinn University in Estonia. Her most recent books include Sex and Social Media (written with Emily van der Nagel) and Metaphors of Internet (edited with Annette Markham). Nalubega Ross: Sexual Rights and Digital Intimacies: A proposed framework for intimate exchanges online Ross is a researcher at Arizona State University studying the multiple contexts in which refugees have to learn about sex and how this affects sexual and reproductive lives. Followed by discussion. Join us through Zoom Meeting ID: 664 5076 3084 Join by SIP 66450763084(a)109.105.112.236 66450763084(a)109.105.112.235 Join by H.323 109.105.112.236 109.105.112.235 Meeting ID: 664 5076 3084 The talks will be recorded for later access at https://www.dataintimacy.fi/en/events/ The seminar is organized by IDA – Intimacy in Data-Driven Culture (2019-2022/25), a research consortium funded by the Strategic Research Council at the Academy of Finland exploring different vulnerabilities connected to data culture, the shapes that intimacies take in networked exchanges, and the avenues available for building a more just and open data economy. https://www.dataintimacy.fi/en bests, Susanna -------------------------- Susanna Paasonen Professor of Media Studies University of Turku <suspaa(a)utu.fi>

New Media & Society Special Issue
by Scott Campbell 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi all - Please consider submitting to and spreading the word about this special issue. Cheers! *Special Issue:* *The Future of Mobile Communication Research* *A Tribute to Rich Ling* Call for papers for a special issue of *New Media & Society*, Volume 24, 2022. *Guest editors *(ordered alphabetically by last name) Scott W. Campbell, Constance F. and Arnold C. Pohs Professor of Telecommunications, Department of Communication and Media, University of Michigan Adriana de Souza e Silva, Professor, Department of Communication, North Carolina State University Leopoldina Fortunati, Professor, Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics, University of Udine Gerard Goggin, Professor, Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University *Overview* In recent decades mobile communication has become central to how people navigate and experience everyday social life. As mobile phones diffused globally in the 1990s, scholars began investigating changes in how people relate to distant and proximal others, as well as the physical surroundings. Among the first was Rich Ling, a sociologist with one foot in industry and the other in academia. Throughout his career as a researcher with Norway’s Telenor Group and a faculty member at universities around the world, Rich Ling has contributed to the foundation of the emerging field of Mobile Media and Communication. In light of Ling’s approaching retirement as an endowed professor at Nanyang Technological University, this special issue pays tribute to his scholarly contributions as we look to the future of mobile communication research. It is no stretch to suggest that Rich Ling is one of the most prolific and influential scholars of mobile communication. He wrote the first single-authored book on the social consequences of mobile communication, *The Mobile Connection* (2004, Morgan Kaufmann), which remains one of the most heavily cited volumes on the subject. His second book, *New Tech, New Ties* (2008, MIT Press) reveals how ritualistic use of mobile media facilitates cohesion in the intimate sphere of friends and family. He extended this analysis in his subsequent book, *Taken for Grantedness *(2012, MIT Press), which offers a broader theoretical framework explaining how mobile communication has become embedded in social structure. Along with these and other books, Ling has also published hundreds of journal articles, book chapters, and industry/policy reports on the uses and consequences of mobile media and communication. In addition to his own scholarship, Rich Ling’s influence in the field is evident through his leadership, serving as editor of many volumes, editor of *Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication*, and founding co-editor of the journal *Mobile Media and Communication*. Ling is also recognized for being a generous mentor, providing opportunities for new generations of scholars to become active in the field. As such, Rich Ling’s contributions not only shape the past, but also strongly influence the future of mobile communication scholarship. This special issue seeks papers that envision the future of mobile communication scholarship in the light of Ling’s contributions to research and theory. While articles should primarily raise and address questions about future scholarship in the field, they should also be, at least to some extent, grounded in some aspect of Ling’s work. Submissions can focus on different types of topics and approaches. Articles may centrally address future directions in research questions pursued, theory, methods, or other aspects of mobile communication scholarship. We are also open to different types of manuscripts, ranging from theoretical essays, empirical investigations, critical/cultural analysis, and other forms of scholarship. *Submission * Proposals of no more than 1,000 words should include a brief abstract and a clear explanation of the main argument and how the full submission would contribute to the aims of this special issue. Please email your proposal to Future.of.Mobile.NMS(a)gmail.com no later than *December 30, 2020*. Authors can expect feedback on their proposal by *February 1, 2021*, and invited paper submissions will be due *May 1, 2021*. Invited submissions will undergo peer review following the usual procedures of *New Media & Society*. Approximately 10-12 papers will be sent out for full review. Therefore, the invitation to submit a full article does not guarantee acceptance into the special issue. Full articles will need to follow the *New Media & **Society* submission guidelines. The special issue is scheduled for publication in *Volume 24 of 2022*. *References * Ling, R. (2004). *The mobile connection: The cell phone’s impact on society. *San Francisco, CA: Morgan Kaufman Publishers. Ling, R.

Toolkit for collecting instant messaging data and running controlled experiments
by Gregory Mills 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Dear AoIR colleagues, We have just released a toolkit for collecting naturalistic instant messaging data, as well as running controlled experiments on algorithmically mediated conversation. The toolkit runs as a bot on the Telegram network, which participants connect to using the Telegram app on their mobile phones. Since all messages between participants are mediated via the toolkit, data is instantly available for analysis - there is no need for participants to send in their data. The toolkit allows high levels of experimental control: Participants can be dynamically assigned to different groups, and experimental instructions (e.g. images, texts, questionnaires) can be sent automatically by the toolkit to the participants in their chat window. The toolkit allows high-levels of experimental control over the content and timing of participants’ turns. Turns can be selectively reordered, or blocked, e.g. to investigate the effects of shadowbanning. The toolkit also allows individual words, phrases, emoticons, etc. to be filtered from participants' turns. This technique can also be used to insert "spoof" turns into the dialogue, that appear, to participants to originate from each other - allowing direct testing of hypotheses about how participants respond to specific prompts. In addition, the toolkit provides a set of customizable, (non-Telegram ) chat interfaces for investigating how different interfaces affect online conversations. The toolkit is open-source and is downloadable at: http://cogsci.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/diet/ Best, Gregory Mills g.j.mills(a)rug.nl

8th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2021): Preliminary Call for Papers
by Announce Announcements 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

*** Preliminary Call for Papers *** 8th International Symposium on End-User Development (IS-EUD 2021): "Democratizing AI Development" July 6-8, 2021, Atlantica Miramare Beach Hotel 4*, Limassol, Cyprus http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… End-user development (EUD) aims at empowering end users to develop and adapt systems at a level of complexity that is adequate to their expertise, practices, and skills. EUD may occur along the entire software lifecycle, with the purpose of making users able to participate in their artifact development, not only at design time, but also during actual use. Originally, EUD was conceived as a more general concept than end-user programming; thus, scholars proposed methods, techniques and tools that allow end users to modify or extend software artifacts, such as spreadsheets, web applications, video games, and mobile applications. In the co-called Internet of Things era, end-user development moved on to address the problem of defining and modifying the behavior of smart environments, including smart objects, pervasive displays, smart homes, smart cities, and so on. Therefore, the term "end-user development" acquired a broader meaning covering approaches, frameworks and socio-technical environments that allow end users to express themselves in crafting digital artifacts that encompass both software and hardware technology. Recent research and technological trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Cyber-Security, Robotics, and Industry 4.0, have contributed to renew the vision of end-user development, by providing tools and platforms that allow end users to harness the power of AI to create solutions involving Computer Vision, Image Processing, Conversational User Interfaces, as well as solutions for smart environments. Such developments lower the threshold for creating AI solutions, and expand the programmer base for such solutions, by extending AI application both for professional and discretionary use. IS-EUD is a bi-annual event for researchers and practitioners with an interdisciplinary approach to EUD, including: Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Human-Work Interaction Design, and related areas. IS-EUD 2021 Theme: Democratizing AI Development The 2021 edition of IS-EUD focuses on EUD for AI-based systems, where end users are called on to become end-user developers of intelligent agents, digital twins, collaborative and social robots. This edition would like to discuss the adoption of EUD in new fields, the proposal of novel EUD paradigms, and the impact of AI-based EUD in terms of user acceptability and appropriation. One of the most interesting topics in human-AI interaction is explainability of AI-based systems: research submissions presenting end- user oriented solutions to this problem will be particularly welcome. Theoretical and empirical work analyzing pros and cons of this new EUD wave, identifying requirements for end-user development of AI and acceptance of related solutions is invited. Software infrastructures and eco- systems supporting the reuse of solutions and the emergence of meta- design practices are of particular interest to this community, linking the challenges relating AI to topics central to the IS-EUD community. Conference Topics The conference welcomes contributions that: · describe new, simple and efficient environments for end-user development · describe new processes, methods and techniques for empowering users to create, modify and tailor digital artifacts · present case studies and design implications on challenges and practices of end-user development · develop theoretical concepts and foundations for the field of end-user development Specific topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: · User-oriented orchestration of AI-based devices · Conversational interfaces for end-user development · End-user development for big data visualization and exploration · End-user development for collaborative robotics · End-user development for social robotics · End-user development in Industry 4.0 · End-user development and explainable AI-based systems · Cybersecurity and end-user development · End-user development in daily life · Technologies and infrastructures for end-user development · Empirical studies of end-user development · Recommender systems to support end-user development · Cultures of participation and meta-design approaches · Technology acceptance and adoption studies of end-user development technologies · Evaluation of end-user development technologies · Supporting creative work through end-user development Submissions We invite two types of paper submissions: 1. Long papers, up to 16 pages, describing original unpublished research making a substantial contribution to the research field 2. Short papers, up to 8 pages, describing original unpublished research, making a small but solid contribution to the field All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted papers (both long and short) will appear in the archival proceedings of IS-EUD 2021, published by Springer in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series, and will be presented in plenary sessions of the conference. Work in Progress submissions (max 4 pages) and Demonstration papers (max 4 pages) are also welcomed. A Demonstration paper should be structured according to the following: · Abstract (150 words maximum) · Topics to be covered and their relevance to the EUD community · Detailed description of the planned demonstration activity · Diagrams or screenshots (if relevant) · Supporting documentation (e.g., project website) · References Work in Progress submissions are intended for presenting preliminary results or tentative findings and position papers. The authors of accepted contributions will have the opportunity to give an oral presentation during parallel sessions. Workshop proposals are invited (max 4 pages) aligned to the themes of the conference. Workshops provide an informal setting where participants have the opportunity to discuss specific topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Workshops can be half day or one-day long. Finally, the IS-EUD Doctoral Consortium is intended to bring together PhD students working on theory and application of EUD. We particularly encourage students that are about half-way through their doctoral research to submit doctoral consortium abstracts (max 4 pages) describing the topic of their PhD, their approach and a summary of their progress.

2nd CFP: hybrid conference, Work, place, mobility and embodiment: «recovery» or repairment in a post-Covid world?
by Charles M. Ess 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

Dear AoIRists, with the usual regrets for duplications and cross-postings: please forward to interested colleagues and relevant listservs: == 2nd CFP: Work, place, mobility and embodiment: «recovery» or repairment in a post-Covid world? The next IFIP Working Group 9.8 workshop on Gender, Diversity and ICT will take place will take place as a hybrid event in Linköping, Sweden, April 15-16, 2021, and online. We focus on experiences and reflections from feminist techno-science perspectives on themes of gender, diversity, and inclusion vis-a-vis the societal-scale shifts to online platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Meetings, etc.) and more digitalized ways of living and working in general in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic jolted whole vocations and sectors of society into remote/digital modes. While much of our lives in the contemporary North, as thoroughly interwoven with digital and network technologies, gives the impression of immateriality - the disease brought into stark focus how much of everyday life depends on materialities and the work of bodies. The embodied labor of not only doctors and nurses, but also of drivers, teachers, social workers, cleaners, cashiers, researchers and many others remains essential to both fighting the pandemic and meeting the basic necessities of sustaining life and societies. The pandemic makes visible the intersecting positions and hierarchies of embodied work, as well as the merits and limits of the digital. Against this background, our broad question is: how should we conceptualize, design for, and speak about «recovery» from the pandemic? Who should / will be included in a «recovery» of pre-pandemic practices of travel and affiliated conceptions of place and mobility as privileges tied to class, gender, ethnicity, etc? How are we to conceptualize and thereby shape how we think and feel about possible futures and the role of digital technologies therein? What happens, for example, if we shift from the language of «recovery» to the language of «repairment» - that which is needed is to repair unjust social, cultural, spiritual, economic, and political structures and systems, and most especially the climate and ecosystems of the planet we live on? Repairment can further implicate notions of entanglement and co-generation. Taking up these and perhaps other theoretical, conceptual, and/or linguistic resources - can we discern and better design for our interrelationality, most especially as we are inextricably interwoven with one another via computational and network technologies? SUBMISSION DETAILS / TIMELINE We invite papers (3000-5000 words) that address the themes and issues described above or similar to these. (Papers may be crafted with a view towards helping refine these during the workshop for possible submission to and presentation in the 2022 IFIP conference in Tokyo). Papers must be prepared for blinded submission as all papers will undergo a blind review process. Papers should be formatted in a standard style and referencing system as defined within a document template that will be provided. We will explore possibilities of taking at least some of the Workshop submissions into a journal special issue (the details of this have yet to be developed.) DEADLINES February 1, 2021 - submission of paper March 1, 2021 - notification of acceptance / rejection Those interested in submitting a paper to the workshop are welcome to contact the organizers with preliminary ideas regarding paper topics, approaches, etc. Chair: Sisse Finken, IT-University of Copenhagen: <sisf(a)itu.dk> Co-Chair: Johanna Sefyrin, Linköping University: <johanna.sefyrin(a)liu.se> Additional information and resources can be found: <http://ifiptc9.org/9-8/> Papers should be submitted to: Charles Ess - c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no with "IFIP WG 9.8 workshop" in the subject line.
