This track of the Transformative Consumer Research (TCR) Conference* seeks to critically examine the sociocultural facets of cashless culture (e.g., people, processes, technologies) and the transformative capabilities of cashless culture for consumer well-being. For this track, we seek policymakers, cross-disciplinary researchers, and industry experts with diverse interests in consumer well-being and cashless culture. For more details on the track and what to expect, click here: https://tcr2021.mcintire.virginia.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Track-Desc… *NOTE: The TCR Conference is a dialogical conference in which small groups of researchers generate new contributions. In other words, you don’t apply with a ‘paper’ or ‘presentation’ -- rather, you collectively develop new research with others in the track. Articles from this TCR Conference will be submitted to a special issue of the Journal of Consumer Affairs, among other outlets in the areas of digital media and cultural studies. For more information about TCR and previous publications, click here: https://www.acrwebsite.org/web/tcr/foundational-readings To apply to join the ‘Consumer Well-being in a Cashless Culture’ track, you must submit a 300-500 word ‘Statement of Your Research Vision’ along with your CV.

CfP: Materialities Roundtable - 2020 Critical Mediations Salon Series
by Paulina Lanz 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

With apologies for cross-posting *Deadline: 6 October 2020* Dear list members, On behalf of the Critical Mediations Conference Committee, I am pleased to share the Call for Participation for the second part of the 2020 Critical Mediations <https://www.criticalmediations.org/> Salon Series: *CALL FOR PARTICIPATIONCritical Mediations Salon Series #2: Materialities* We invite researchers and practitioners that do critical research to reflect on the role of materiality in their work. From theoretical provocations that recognize “the curious ability of inanimate things to animate, to act, to produce effects dramatic and subtle” to how these effects reorganize our day to day, materiality provides a unique perspective to look at fields of critical inquiry. (Bennett 2009: 6) The precarity of our time and space (living through a global pandemic/ an election year for some/ a reckoning of privilege and power in racist institutions/ the eleventh hour of climate change to name a few) has also changed our relationship with materiality. As Bill Brown posits “we begin confronting the thingness of objects when they stop working for us: when the drill breaks, when the car stalls, when the windows get filthy, when their flow within the circuits of production and distribution, consumption and exhibition, has been arrested, however momentarily.” (Brown 2001:4) *How does materiality inform your research/practice/art? How does it crop up in examinations of archives, policy, data, public life, imagination?* *Please submit a short abstract of how materiality articulates with your work in the linked form <https://forms.gle/2TktyAfeG6cJfWyVA> by midnight (PST) on Tuesday, October 6th.* *Important Dates:* - Participation Deadline Tuesday, October 6th at midnight (PST) - Mystery Artifact Release Monday, October 19th - CM Salon Series: Materialities Monday, October 26th at 12pm (PST) - 1 hour session The Call for Participation can be found here <https://mailchi.mp/fe470733b9d6/cfp_materialities>. We would be delighted to see how different fields are working through these topics.

Information systems (IS) have provided the infrastructure for multinational businesses, created new cultural connections irrespective of geographic boundaries and distances, and allowed an increasingly mobile global population to be connected to their friends, families, and cultures no matter where they are, forming global online communities. Of particular interest to the track this year are the socio-cultural features of the intended and unintended consequences of global IS; this includes, for example, disinformation, fake news, hate speech, rumors, conspiracy theories, cyberbullying, racist algorithms, fraud, and trolling. The track welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of global IS, or IS research situated in a global, international or cross-cultural context. The track is open to all methodological approaches and perspectives. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Research that considers the impacts of cultural values on information systems use, adoption or development * Research that consider the global spread of disinformation, trolling, fake news, fraud and conspiracy theories * Research on global IT sourcing strategies * Cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons of IS adoption, use and development * Effects of global social computing on organizational work organization and practices * Issues relating to globally distributed teams * Issues relating to IT adoption at the national level * Issues relating to global knowledge management * Issues relating to cross-national legislation and regulation * Issues relating to global information governance * Use and impacts of IT in the context of multinational organizations * Issues relating to security in information systems that span multiple countries * Single country studies showing implications for other locations or results different from other contexts * Multi-country studies of IS adoption, use, and development Track Chairs: Pnina Fichman, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA Edward W.N. Bernroider, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria Barbara Krumay, Johannes Kepler University, Austria If you are interested in submitting a mini-track proposal, please notice the following important information: - Mini-tracks will be managed under tracks.

Journal of Hate Studies Call for Submissions
by Lisa Silvestri 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

The Journal of Hate Studies General Issue, Vol. 17 with a Forum on “Pandemania” Guest Editor: Lisa Silvestri (Gonzaga University) *The Journal of Hate Studies* is an international scholarly journal promoting intellectual engagement with processes that embolden the expression of hate. The goal is to establish a deep repository of theory and research on which to ground practical anti-hate interventions. For example, past articles in the journal have: · Examined hate in any one or more of its manifestations (e.g. racism, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia, religious intolerance, ethnoviolence, anti-immigrant animus, etc.). · Considered how hate is institutionalized, maintained, or perpetrated through culture, organizations, policies, politics, media, discourses, epistemologies, etc. · Developed, adapted, or refined disciplinary specific or trans-disciplinary research methods for understanding and/or effectively addressing hate. *The Journal* reflects the optimism that understanding hate can lead to its containment, allowing humans to flourish without fear of reprisal. For this issue, we will accept both general submissions on any topic within the field as well as contributions destined for a subsection featuring conversations on hate taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic. General submissions range between 6,000-8,000 words. Forum submissions are shorter, ranging between 3,000-5,000 words. Potential topics covered by the “pandemania” forum can include, but should not be limited to, the following COVID-19 focused topics: Racism and anti-racism Xenophobia Protests Policing Masks and social distancing Institutional violence Digital manifestations of hate We invite both textual and visual submissions employing interdisciplinary and innovative approaches in the humanities and social sciences. To float ideas and proposals for the general submission or for this forum, specifically, please contact silvestri(a)gonzaga.edu. *Brief Guidelines for Submissions* The Journal seeks compelling articles written with precision and depth that find resonance with an interdisciplinary audience. A primary criterion for acceptance is the level to which the article enriches, extends, and advances the study and understanding of hate in its multiplicity of forms. Research-based submissions should follow 7th APA format and include a discussion of approach, method, and analysis. Submissions focusing on pedagogy should balance theoretical frameworks with practical considerations of how particular approaches play out in both formal and informal educational settings. Discipline-specific submissions should be written for non-specialists. For further information on style and formatting, accessibility requirements, please consult: https://jhs.press.gonzaga.edu/ *Submission and Review Process* All work appearing in The Journal undergoes extensive double-blind peer-review. As a courtesy to our reviewers, we will not consider simultaneous submissions, but we will do our best to reply with reviewer comments within 4 months of the submission deadline. All work should be original and previously unpublished. Essays or presentations posted on a personal blog may be accepted, provided they are substantially revised. Important Dates Submission deadline for full manuscripts is *December 30, 2020*. Notification of acceptance expected April 30 *for publication in early fall 2021*. For full journal details, including themes and goals, general topic areas, submission instructions or to apply to become a reviewer, please visit: https://jhs.press.gonzaga.edu/ -- The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing, because you think you can only do a little.

Call for Papers - IFIP workshop on Gender, Diversity and ICT - Linköping, April 15-16, 2021
by Charles M. Ess 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Dear AoiR-ists, with the usual regrets for duplications and cross-postings: please forward to interested colleagues and relevant listservs: == 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 in Linköping, Sweden, April 15-16, 2021. 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).
