Popular Culture Studies Journal: Call for reviews
by Christopher John Olson 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

The Popular Culture Studies Journal is seeking authors to review works on any aspect of American or international popular culture. Specifically, we are interested in reviews of recent (i.e. published within the last two years) scholarly monographs or anthologies and general interest books examining all areas of popular culture from a variety of perspectives. We will also consider older seminal pieces that deserve a second look. For a list of books to review, please visit Booklist for Reviews<https://mpcaaca.org/the-popular-culture-studies-journal/for-submitting-revi…>. In addition, we are soliciting reviews of films, videos, websites, games, theater, or any other popular works that have been published, released, performed or posted in the last two years. Once again, we will also consider older seminal works that deserve a second look. We only ask that reviews of popular media texts highlight how such works might be used in pedagogical or scholarly situations. If you wish to review a popular media text, you must submit a brief rationale for the relevance of the review. A short paragraph outlining why you think the text is worthy of review in the journal will suffice. Reviews should adhere to the ethos of the Popular Culture Studies Journal and be largely positive with any criticism of the work being constructive in nature. For more information about this journal, please visit the Popular Culture Studies Journal<https://mpcaaca.org/the-popular-culture-studies-journal/>. Written reviews should be between 800-1,000 words and should be typed, double-spaced with 12-point Times New Roman font. Research and documentation must adhere to The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers and The MLA Style Manual, 8th edition, which requires a Works Cited list with parenthetical author/page references in the text. Punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation, and other matters of style must also follow The MLA Handbook and The MLA Style Manual. If you are interested in submitting any alternative form of review, please contact the reviews editor directly with your proposed format. Guidelines will be determined depending on the proposed format. Reviews should be sent electronically to Christopher J. Olson at olson429(a)uwm.edu<mailto:olson429@uwm.edu> with PCSJ Review and the author’s last name in the subject line. Reviews should include both the review and the reviewer’s complete contact information (name, university affiliation, address and email). Reviews should be sent as Microsoft Word attachments in .doc or .docx format, unless an alternative format has been approved by the editor. If you are interested in reviewing for the Popular Culture Studies Journal or if you are an author or publisher with a work you would like to have reviewed, then please contact the reviews editor at the following address or email: Christopher J.

got ethics? Two ethics panels tomorrow!
by Charles M. Ess 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

of course you do ... At least, this is the primary starting point of the approaches to developing ethics guidelines for internet research since the inception of AoIR - i.e., that enculturated human beings in general and practitioners in particular bring to the tables of ethical reflection and deliberation our extensive experience and capacities for ethical judgment and decision-making. Our dialogical processes have further involved applied ethicists, philosophers of technology, cross-cultural perspectives, any number of colleagues in the social sciences, humanities, mathematics, computer science, network engineering - you name it - issuing in, among other things, three documents on internet research ethics that have often proven to be centrally useful to both researchers and ethics review boards around the globe. Moreover, the AoIR conferences have included attention to ethical matters beyond internet research ethics: this year, in particular, the CFP included Power, justice and inequality in digitally mediated lives; Life, sex, and death vis-a-vis social media; and Political Life online. As many of you know/recall, this year inaugurates a new collaboration with the Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society (JICES) and AoIR. The aim is to encourage the development of papers and then articles appropriate to the JICES' foci on social and ethical issues evoked in "the planning, development, implementation and use of new media and information technologies." I'm very pleased to note that the CFP evoked a terrific series of papers that will be presented tomorrow, October 29, in two panels: Theoretical and Practical Research Ethics: Three Cases (12.00-13.00 UTC) Legal and Ethical Perspectives on (Big) Data, Platforms, AI and Algorithms (15.00-16.00 UTC) If you browse the titles and abstracts, you'll find a wide diversity of topics and approaches that will all but certainly overlap with one or more of the ethical matters of interest, if not compelling urgency, to you and yours, whether as practitioners and/or human beings and citizens in the contemporary worlds. Both panels will be hosted on Zoom: links and additional information can be found on the AoIR calendar. On behalf of our panelists and co-organizer aline shakti franzke, we warmly encourage you to expand and sharpen your ethical chops by participating in the panels as you can. Many thanks and hope to see many of you there. all best, - charles ess -- Professor Emeritus Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Fellow, Siebold-Collegiums Institute for Advanced Studies, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany Co-chair & Editor, Internet Research Ethics 3.0 <https://aoir.org/reports/ethics3.pdf> 3rd edition of Digital Media Ethics now out: <http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509533428> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no

Doing qualitative research which addresses inequalities in times of social distancing
by Helen Kennedy 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hello all Many of us are currently facing challenges as we seek to carry out qualitative research which addresses inequalities under socially distanced conditions. Lots of people are thinking creatively about how to overcome these challenges, and we’re aware of a number of events, webinars and discussions on this topic that have taken place. We are gathering together resources on this topic (including recordings of webinars, if available), which we will share publicly on our Living With Data <https://livingwithdata.org/> project website in August. We will include general resources about doing qualitative research in socially distant times (such as Doing fieldwork in a pandemic <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1clGjGABB2h2qbduTgfqribHmog9B6P0NvMgVuiH…>), but we are especially interested in resources relating to inequalities research, covering, for example, researching with marginalised, minoritised or hard-to-reach groups and communities, or facilitating qualitative research with diverse groups (including diversity in groups, eg in relation to race, class, culture, language, lived experience, politics, accessibility). Please can you share resources with us by emailing Elisa Serafinelli ( e.serafinelli(a)sheffield.ac.uk Research Associate @ the University of Sheffield). We will then collate and share them. Best wishes Elisa Serafinelli & Helen Kennedy (Digital Society Network <https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/social-sciences/research/digital-society> & Living With Data <https://livingwithdata.org/> @ University of Sheffield) -- Helen Kennedy, Professor of Digital Society, @hmtk, Living With Data <https://livingwithdata.org/> *RECENT PUBLICATIONS: * Public perceptions of good data management: findings from a UK-based survey <https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2053951720935616>, *Big Data and Society* (June 2020, w/Todd Hartman, Robin Steedman & Rhia Jones) *Public Understanding and Perceptions of Data Practices: a review of existing research <https://livingwithdata.org/current-research/publications/>* (May 2020, w/ Susan Oman, Mark Taylor, Jo Bates, Robin Steedman) *Data Visualization in Society <https://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789463722902/data-visualization-in-society>* (April 2020, ed w/ Martin Engebretesen, Open Access with Amsterdam University Press) Complex ecologies of trust in data practices and data-driven systems <https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2020.1748090>, *Information, Communication & Society* (April 2020, w/Robin Steedman & Rhia Jones) Approaching public perceptions of datafication through the lens of inequality: a case study in public service media <https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2020.1736122>, *Information, Communication & Society *(March 2020, w/Robin Steedman & Rhia Jones)

CfP: Opening up memory making. Inquiries into memory modalities in digital media ecologies @ SIEF2021
by Isto Huvila 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

SIEF Congress: Breaking the rules? Power, participation, transgression 2021, 21-24 June 2021 in Helsinki, online The call is open until Nov 26 at https://www.siefhome.org/congresses/sief2021/cfpan Among other the following panel might interest the list members: “Opening up memory making. Inquiries into memory modalities in digital media ecologies” Digital media ecologies open-up publics for articulations of people and groups beyond the established institutions. They promise to break with traditional knowledge hierarchies by providing new modes of participation and publicness. However, participatory memory making for people and groups in vulnerable social situations did not emerge by itself through the re-mediation of memories, which emerges from digitalization with its particular capacity for representing, sharing and sustaining knowledge (including emotional, practical and tacit knowing). Being aware of the fact that culture may cultivate integrative or disruptive forces, establishing inclusive politics of heritage for envisioning possible futures has become a key issue in memory making. Building on the rich knowledge on participation in memory making, we thus want to move on and explore the wide array of modalities, in which mediated memories contribute to opening-up established knowledge orders in public memory. This panel invites contributions on how memory modalities open-up established knowledge orders and foster social inclusive, future envisioning memory making. We seek to discover and inquire which organisational settings, discourses, business models and finances, cultural economies, legal frameworks or potential other modalities facilitate accessibility, agency and motivation of people and groups to partake in public memory making. Being part of the public memory is important for envisioning positive possible futures acknowledging people’s and groups’ history, identity, belonging, and membership, in questions of eligibility for public support or redemption, for partaking in economic outcomes or questions of ownership of cultural heritage resources.
