The efforts of Greta Thunberg and the global BLM movement, spearheaded in Australia in large part by young people, has led to the assumption that all young people are avid social media users who engage in political discussion, debate and anti-racist movements online with ease. However, research shows that data literacy and digital participation is not a universally even experience. Factors like gender, class and race critically shape online engagement. This seminar will ask how these broader structural factors shape young people’s involvement in digital media and anti-racist movements; how COVID-19 has opened new challenges and possibilities for the emergence of local and transnational antiracist movements; as well as how race affects our general understanding of the kinds of vulnerabilities facing young people, especially children, who experience hate speech, bullying and predators online. *Register Now* <https://deakin.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=820ede1cdf0cfdd56653662f6&…> Can't make it?

Dear Colleagues, I wish to share the call for Postdoc applicants to the HUMAN+ programme at Trinity College Dublin, co-funded by the ERC’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions: *humanplus.ie <http://humanplus.ie>.* The programme focuses on human-centric approaches to technological innovations and will appoint up to 18 fellows for two-year periods between 2021 and 2025, with half of these fellows coming from the Arts & Humanities. I'm interested in mentoring a 2-year Post-Doc on the theme of *“Augmented Reality’s impact on users’ self-image & identity.”* Applicants will likely have a PhD in some aspect of film/media/cultural studies, which would enable them to design a more specific research project: for example, by placing AR in the context of film and screen history through questions of gaze, self-recordings, machine vision, experimental media, etc. The post-doc would be co-supervised by Aljosa Smolic, Prof. of Creative Technologies & PI of V-SENSE, a large centre of Visual Computing with an emphasis on VR and AR (https://v-sense.scss.tcd.ie) Full details of the programme are available at the website (humanplus.ie) and potential applicants can contact me to discuss an application related to the designated AR theme: https://humanplus.ie/supervisors/dr-jennifer -omeara/.

CFP | Special Issue on Cyber Situational Awareness Techniques and Human Factors (Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy)
by HANAN HINDY 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

(We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email) Special Issue "Cyber Situational Awareness Techniques and Human Factors" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcp/special_issues/Cyber_Situational_Aware) MDPI Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues, Over the past decade, the rise of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things and associated interfaces, has dramatically increased our reliance on the cyberspace and the need to understand our environment accurately, to predict, respond, and solve potential cybersecurity problems that may occur. Cyber situational awareness focuses on the correlation of disparate data, playing an integral role in information assurance. In order to achieve cyber situational awareness, understand new threats, and better our defenses, we must obtain relevant information across organizational structures and turn it into usable intelligence allowing security analysts and operators to: * Make informed decisions; * Visualize their environment; * Understand the security posture of the infrastructure; * Understand the destructive actions of adversaries; * Identify key indicators of malicious activities; * Determine the best defense to hinder or stop said malicious activities. While these applications of CSA have been proven beneficial for the cybersecurity industry, they have also highlighted a number of shortcomings, such as the lack of interconnection with human factors, the difficulty to create fusion centers, the lack of a collaborative defense approach (from a user or network perspective), and the need for CSA frameworks, to name a few. This Special Issue on "Cyber Situational Awareness Techniques and Human Factors" is aimed at industrial and academic researchers applying non-traditional methods to solve cybersecurity problems. The key areas of this Special Issue include but are not limited to: * situational awareness assessments * information security metrics and measurements * OSING * cyber behavioral analytics and profiling * PsyOPS * web analytics and incident response * social network intelligence * game theory * cyberattack scenarios * situation-aware application * context-aware application * situation-aware network * context-aware network * attack graphs * security and incident analysis * sensor fusion * data correlation * cyber psychology * human decision control * proactive defense strategies Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 September 2021. For more information: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcp/special_issues/Cyber_Situational_Aware Best regards, Special Issue Editors

CALL FOR ARTICLES - The discourses of Gender, Violence and Social Inequality in the era of digital communication
by Dolors.Palau＠uv.es 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

CALL FOR ARTICLES Quaderns de Filologia – Linguistics Series vol. 26 (2021) (https://ojs.uv.es/index.php/qfilologia/index) Title of volume: The discourses of Gender, Violence and Social Inequality in the era of digital communication Editors: Sergio Maruenda Bataller (Universitat de València) Dolors Palau Sampio (Universitat de València) Maite Taboada (Simon Fraser University) Summary: This volume aims to study and analyse the public discourses on gender, violence and social inequality in the so-called digital media (Couldry 2012) and, more precisely, their evolution and political, cultural, social and ideological impact on these in the digital era and ‘new’ forms of social, institutional and political communication (Fuchs 2007; Bennet & Segerberg 2013; Winseck 2017). This volume aims to gain insights into the discourses generated and communicated through the so-called Internet society (Castells 2001), as we reach the 25th anniversary of the net. Thus, the present volume adopts a critical and communicative theoretical approach to the analysis of the current discourses that linguistically and discursively construct and constitute gender, violence and social inequality (Critical Discourse Studies, Flowerdew & Richardson 2018), as forms of cognitive and social representation that may become hegemonic or peripheral (Butler 1990; Bell 1991; Wodak 2001; Lazar 2005; Fairclough 2006; van Dijk 2008; Cotter 2010; Erlich, Meyerhoff & Holmes 2014). Although not restricted to a specific methodology, this volume advocates for mixed-method approaches that combine qualitative research and corpus-based analyses for the identification of recurrent and «normalised» discourse patterns (Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies [CADS] - Mautner 2009; Baker et al. 2008; Partington et al. 2013; Gabrielatos & Duguid 2014; Baker & Levon 2015). Themes: 1. Discursive (multimodal) studies on specific topics and aspects on gender, violence and social inequality in the digital media, including press, social media, and other forms of institutional, social and political communication. Examples: a. The discursive representation of gender violence b. Women in the new forms of communication c. The ideological construction of diverse identities and LGTBQphobia. d. The discourses on migration e. The discourses on extremism and hate f. The discourses on disabilities g. The discourses on aporophobia h. etc. 2. Historical (diachronic) and contrastive studies among cultures, languages and semiotic modes (Potts et al. 2005). 3. Methodological proposals and models of qualitative and/or quantitative analysis of the themes of the volume. 4. Corpus compilation and description on gender, violence and social inequality. Abstract submission* Proposals must be sent to: sergio.maruenda(a)uv.es Subject: abstract QF ELING 2021 Until December 15, 2020 Communication of acceptance From January 1, 2021 to January 7, 2021 Deadline for submission of originals (full article) Proposals must be sent to: sergio.maruenda(a)uv.es Subject: article QF ELING 2021 May 1, 2021 Peer-reviewing process from May 1, 2021 Publication of volume December 2021 * Abstracts must be 250-300 words, excluding references. Please provide title, author, affiliation + email, text, keywords (5), references.
