Upcoming LIVESTREAM Seminar: The craigslist ethic: A web 1.0 vision of online democracy
by Eleanor Marchant 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi Everyone, I'm so excited to announce that on Monday March 9, Jessa Lingel, Assistant Prof from the Annenberg School at UPenn will be joining us, at the Programme in Comparative Media Law & Policy, at Oxford University for a livestream discussion of her new book, "An Internet for the People: The Politics and Promise of Craigslist". The seminar will start at 2pm GMT / 9am EST and you can join in to watch the video and participate in the discussion by following this link: https://zoom.us/j/660143969 More details about the talk and our new seminar series below: The craigslist ethic: A web 1.0 vision of online democracy A growing number of tech insiders are raising doubts about the long term consequences of the mainstream internet, in terms of individual mental health as well as national democracy. The need for a more ethical internet has led some to embrace sci fi imaginings and others to reject digital media altogether. This talk considers the vision of a single platform as instructive for thinking about the future of the web: craigslist. Over its 22 year history, craigslist has grown into a multi-faceted website for local exchanges, which can include buying, selling, hiring, apartment seeking, dating or simply ranting about the neighborhood. At once outdated and highly relevant, easy to use and easy to overlook, craigslist has mostly stayed the same while the web around it has changed, becoming less open and more profit driven. The design decisions and user policies governing craigslist give shape to particular a form of politics, and examining these rules and norms reveals what we stand to lose if the web continues to become less open, more homogenous and geared towards sleek professionalism over messy serendipity. PCMLP Global Seminar Series We recently started the Global Seminar Series with the express intention of breaking out of the traditional mold of in person seminars that are often rich in information but inaccessible to those outside of Oxford. By hosting the seminars live online we can bring fantastic speakers from around the world, and make their talks available to anyone with an internet connection regardless of location. We actively encourage virtual participation in all of our seminars and discussions.

New book - Transcendent Parenting: Raising Children in the Digital Age
by Sun Sun LIM 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hello everyone, I am delighted to share details of my new book Transcendent Parenting: Raising Children in the Digital Age (Oxford University Press, 2020), available via OUP here<https://global.oup.com/academic/product/transcendent-parenting-978019066432…> and Amazon here<https://www.amazon.com/Transcendent-Parenting-Raising-Children-Communicatio…> I have blogged/written about it on LSE Parenting for a Digital Future<https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/parenting4digitalfuture/2020/02/12/when-playground-…> blog Oxford University Press<https://blog.oup.com/2019/11/what-lies-behind-asias-thriving-shadow-educati…> blog The Straits Times<https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-digital-connections-add-stress-both-pare…> The Page 99 Test<http://page99test.blogspot.com/2020/01/sun-sun-lims-transcendent-parenting.…> blog Back cover description: ��This book focuses on the phenomenon of transcendent parenting, where parents actively use technology to go beyond traditional, physical practices of parenting. In drawing on the experiences of intensely digitally-connected families in Singapore to tell a global story, Sun Sun Lim argues how transcendent parenting can embody and convey, intentionally or not, the parenting priorities in these households. Chapters outline how parents exploit mobile connectivity to transcend the physical distance between themselves and their children, the online and offline social interaction environments, and the timelessness of seemingly ceaseless parenting. Transcendent Parenting further explores how mobile communication allows parents to be more involved than ever in their children's lives, leaving readers to question whether or not parents have become too involved as a result. With its clear discussions of the effects of transcendent parenting on parents' wellbeing and children's personal development, Transcendent Parenting will appeal to a broad audience of readers, from scholars, educators and policy makers to parents and young people across the globe.�� Please let me know if you require review copies for your journal.

Post-doc: Media, Journalism and Community Power at the MIC Center
by Todd Wolfson 25 Feb '20

25 Feb '20

The MIC Center’s Media Ecosystem project is recruiting a Post-Doctoral Researcher *Philadelphia’s Media Ecosystem: Journalism, Community Organizing, and the Narratives and Power Structures that Shape our City* This project will explore the way that community groups across the region harness media and journalism and other tools to build community power. The research associate will focus on understanding the interrelationship between community-oriented media, organizing, and social change. This research will include a network analysis of both community media institutions and local community groups to understand their interconnections, as well as a qualitative examination of the ways media and other tools are harnessed to build within and across communities in the region. Skills and qualifications: ·PhD or equivalent combination of education and experience. ·Experience carrying out qualitative and ethnographic research with limited direction. ·Report writing ability, including experience writing for non-academic audiences. ·Ability to cultivate relationships quickly and excellent networking skills. ·Familiarity with and existing relationships with Philadelphia-area community groups a plus. ·Ability to perform Social Network Analysis/Organizational Network Analysis and the requisite quantitative skills to display and present data in compelling and accessible ways a plus. This post is full-time and for up to 24 months (part-time applications will also be considered). The Post-Doctoral fellow will be provided a stipend of $55,000, health insurance, a workspace, computer, and library access. It is expected that the fellow be working on-site in Philadelphia. *About MIC and the project: * The Media, Inequality & Change Center (MIC) is a collaboration between University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for communication and Rutgers University's School of Communication and Information. MIC occupies the intersection of technology, policy, and social justice. It is committed to studying the political economy of social problems, media, and democracy, while engaging local activist projects, and drawing connections with national and international social movements. Over the three-year grant, MIC will lead two integrated research projects focused on Philadelphia’s local media ecosystem. Mapping media institutions will be a multi-year, multi-phase study employing mixed methods and resulting in an in-depth, structural analysis of the region’s news media. MIC’s community network analysis will employ a political economic framework that assesses the ownership and control of local media as well as how communities harness media to make positive social change.Drawing on our deep national and international networks, MIC will cross-fertilize best practices, amplify findings, and facilitate dialogue across the city and beyond. As part of this project, MIC also will provide regular opportunities for project partners and community organizations to meet, share data, and collaborate with researchers, practitioners, and organizations engaged in similar work in other locations domestically and internationally. The project as a whole will contribute to new knowledge about the interrelationships between media, organizing, and social change. It will also shed light on the ways in which our local media ecosystem upholds systems of power. Ultimately, our aim is to outline a vision for remaking media in ways that reflect communities’ information needs, especially around vitally important social issues such as inequality and criminal justice.

Machine Intelligences in Context: Beyond the Technological Sublime ***Special Issue of Culture Machine ***
by Anne Kaun 25 Feb '20

25 Feb '20

Special Issue of Culture Machine Machine Intelligences in Context: Beyond the Technological Sublime Edited by Peter Jakobsson, Anne Kaun & Fredrik Stiernstedt We are seeking contributions for a special issue of Culture Machine<https://culturemachine.net/about/> – an international open-access journal of culture and theory – exploring Machine Intelligences in Context. Culture Machine is a series of experiments in culture and theory. Its aim is to seek out and promote scholarly work that engages provocatively with contemporary technical objects, processes and imaginaries from the North and South. Building on its open ended, non-instrumental, and exploratory approach to critical theory, Culture Machine calls for creative scholarship and research that contests globalizing technical narratives and their environmental logics of extraction. This special issue is a long overdue confrontation with the hype surrounding artificial intelligence. The supposed blessings that AI will bestow upon datafied societies, as well as the associated dangers, are now well-known both to the academic specialist and to the general public. Representatives from the tech sector and the world of politics claim that the fourth industrial revolution will be powered by AI and that AI will eventually become ubiquitous within politics, industry, culture and in everyday life. The impulse behind this special issue is to interrogate these prophesies a bit closer and to get a look behind the shiny surfaces of these new, often unseen technologies. Because it does seem that what AI actually promises, and most of all, what it actually delivers, is neither found in the realm of the fantastic nor the uncanny, and a lot of it is not even particularly new, intelligent or artificial. The task of this special issue is thus to provide a counter-narrative to the dominant accounts of AI. It is not a matter of debunking AI, of unmasking the ideological interests behind it or revealing its dirty algorithmic secrets, but of putting AI in its critical contexts beyond the technological sublime – ie. the myths surrounding current technological developments that are meant to inspire both awe and fantasies of control and mastery. By combining phenomena that do not normally go together, such as AI and intersectionality, this special issue seeks to un-familiarize the familiar and to make unexpected connections, while also exploring potential critical and more just futures. One question that seems particularly pertinent to ask is of the relations, substitutions and combinations of different forms of intelligence, both human and more than human, and to explore how these come together in different contexts. Contributions that employ critical perspectives from either the social sciences or the humanities are welcome, but we also invite and encourage experimental and transdisciplinary approaches, including contributions from the information sciences, software studies, and articles focused on case studies of AI with stakes for Latin America, Asia, and Africa. It is time to move past an understanding of AI that borders towards viewing it as a technological sublime. In order to do so we should analyse it as a broad phenomenon that questions the integration of machinic forms of intelligence in lived settings, particularly across the relations it is generating in the Global South. We welcome proposals that address, build upon and expand the following topics: * Critical interrogations of definitions and conceptualizations of intelligence(s) * Pluralities of machine intelligences * Sensory capacities and AI * The biopolitics and geopolitics of AI * Sex, gender and AI * Race and AI * Critical interrogations of AI narratives * Critical perspectives on AI sited in the Global South * Progressive regulation of AI Please submit a 500-word abstract and 2 page CV to peter.jakobsson(a)sh.se<mailto:peter.jakobsson@sh.se> by 1 March 2020 Timeline: Submission of abstracts 1 March 2020 Notification of acceptance 20 March 2020 Submission of full papers 1 September 2020 Peer Review 15 November 2020 Revision 15 December 2020 Publication January 2021

Leigh *Anderson*, University of Washington Data for Policy is inviting proposals for 1.5-hour workshops for a pre-conference program on 14th September aimed at educating policy practitioners and researchers on current and emerging knowledge and debates on topics that intersect data and public policy. In exceptional cases, allocation of multiple 1.5-hour slots on the same theme will also be considered. We are seeking a selection of workshops that preview or complement the conference program. Proposals from the academic, government, and private sector of a non-commercial nature are welcome. Accepted workshop proposals will be published on the conference website <https://dataforpolicy.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e48a758fb1eccb009e…> and advertised for registration. *Workshop Goals* Valuable workshops are those that advance participant’s ability to be critical and informed consumers or producers of data based evidence, understand the differences between causal inference and prediction, and be cognizant of the potential and limitations of new data sources and computational methods for public policy and program delivery. Topics can fall into three areas and cover: - *Technical to policy translation* on data sources such as the internet, IoT, social media, administrative, satellite and other remotely-sensed, computation methods and technologies (e.g. AI, Blockchain), and popular/ open-access data and document sharing and management tools. - *Policy to technical translation* covering how the policy process works, points of decision-making and the use of data; current methods of program delivery including coverage, measurement and evaluation; legal and policy frameworks governing data production, acquisition, sharing and use. - *Sector applications* in particular policy fields such as health, education, climate, transportation, employment, finance and management, governance and democracy, and security. We have two target audiences in mind. These are: - *Executive, Policy and Practitioner:* These participants are key decision-makers and influencers primarily in the public sector, but also in private and not-for-profit organizations with social responsibility in health, education, transportation or any field where knowledge and expertise will be complemented by a greater understanding of the technical domain, including what is meant by privacy, how to work and communicate with data scientists, using data and technology to improve program delivery, estimating the cost-effectiveness of different digital technologies, and anticipating the regulatory and ethical implications. Proposals that target this audience should think of relatively introductory level instruction pertaining to the language, landscape, value, uses and likely impacts of different technologies and data sources. - *Researchers and Data Scientists Specializing in Government and Public Applications:* These participants are researchers and analysts from the social or computing sciences or other fields, such as law and philosophy. Proposals that target this audience should be clear about any assumed background training for a workshop more focused on producers of knowledge using new technologies, data, and methods, and the policy implications of the research. General audience workshops that both groups can attend may also be proposed. Queries can be directed to team(a)dataforpolicy.org Submissions should be made via *EasyChair <https://dataforpolicy.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e48a758fb1eccb009e…>* (please see guidelines <https://dataforpolicy.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e48a758fb1eccb009e…>for further instructions). ------------------------------ 3. *Vacancy (deadline: 28th February)*: Research Assistant / Research Fellow in Data Science for Governance and Public Policy We are interested in building a collaborative team to lead research in this emerging field whilst also supporting the coordination and management of our two main projects – *Data for Policy* <https://dataforpolicy.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e48a758fb1eccb009e…> conference series and the *Data & Policy* <https://dataforpolicy.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e48a758fb1eccb009e…> journal. The primary purpose of this post will be to research, monitor and report on the evolution of an emerging field using data science for policy and public good, with the aim of growing the conference and publications in the journal. The post holder will support the Data for Policy project activities based at UCL Computer Science. Depending on their experience and appointment level, they will be expected to conduct and/or contribute to group research efforts, help with the editorial responsibilities of the Data & Policy journal and the organisation of the annual Data for Policy conferences. The funding for this post is for 12 months in the first instance.
