Tracing the Trump impeachment narrative on Twitter with AI -- Biden winds up getting attacked
by Sarah Ann Oates 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Dear AoIRists, I am sad I am not at the fabulous conference but happy to share some recent work that might be of interest. I work with an AI startup called MarvelousAI and we did some interesting tracking of the impeachment narrative on Twitter, here's a blog about it: https://marvelous.ai/2019/10/04/whistleblower-projection-whatabout-biden/ It's been a fun journey working with a start-up, where things are done in hours rather than months. Also, I am sure I drive them crazy with obscure references etc. but I have to say it's been really incredibly fun. We also did a paper together for the American Political Science Association meeting this year and they got a taste of pol comm world :) *Running While Female *analyzes how the Democratic female candidates for president are being talked about on Twitter and you can get it here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3444200 Any feedback or thoughts (on the papers or on the idea of working with start-ups) welcome!

CfP: Civic Participation in the Datafied Society, 28-29 May, Cardiff
by Lina Dencik 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

We are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for our next conference at the Data Justice Lab themed: Civic Participation in the Datafied Society Date: May 28-29, 2020 Location: Cardiff University in Cardiff, UK. Host: Data Justice Lab As the generation, collection and analysis of data continues to transform key aspects of our society across economics, politics and culture, the question of participation has rarely been so pertinent. Democratic processes and traditional avenues for participation are facing challenges as state-citizen relations are increasingly shaped through data analytics and automation at the same time as alternative visions for participatory democracy and decision-making have proliferated. As citizens, we are said to be both coerced and active participants in this shift, both liberated and exploited in the use of digital tools, both more visible and more obscured in data-driven systems. How, then, should we understand civic participation in the datafied society? In what ways are we positioned as citizens in the advancement of datafication? How are decisions made, governance carried out, and systems created? What possibilities exist to intervene in, influence, create and resist power? Who gets to participate and on what terms? How might our institutions and government practices need to change? What are strategies for democratising the emergent datafied society? And what are avenues for enhancing citizen and community participation? This two-day event explores the relationship between datafication and participation. Hosted by the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC), it will bring together international scholars, practitioners, activists, and community groups to discuss the possibilities and challenges of civic participation in a datafied society. Speakers include: Carly Kind (Ada Lovelace Institute) Mark Andrejevic (Monash University, Australia) Nanjira Sambuli (World Wide Web Foundation) Natalie Fenton (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK) Rashida Richardson (AI Now) Tawana Petty (Detroit Digital Justice Coalition) The conference will include both scholarly contributions and workshops with civil society, practitioners and impacted communities in order to facilitate and advance knowledge exchange. We therefore welcome alternative formats and ideas. Themes for submissions include (but are not limited to): * Citizen juries, assemblies and audits * Participatory data governance and oversight * Data commons and co-operatives * Data activism and resistance * Participatory design and design justice * Digital and human labour in data * Participation, exploitation and coercion * Geopolitics of participation Submissions Deadline for 500-word abstracts: 15th of December, 2019 Submit via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=datajustice2020<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair…> All submissions must include a title, author name(s), institutional affiliation(s) and full contact information (mailing address, email address). If you propose a workshop or practical demonstration, please provide a clear statement of purpose and a detailed description of activities, as well as any infrastructure requirements.

Trust and Digital Platforms - special issue of Global Perspectives
by Terry Flew 03 Oct '19

03 Oct '19

Global Perspectives special issue – Trust and Digital Platforms Call for papers Special Collection for the Communication and Media Section of Global Perspectives on “Trust and Digital Platforms” Estimated Timeline 1 December 2019 - 500-word abstracts * Please submit abstracts to Terry Flew (t.flew(a)qut.edu.au) and Sora Park (sora.park(a)canberra.edu.au) * 1 February 2020 - notification of invitation to submit full papers (6000-8000 words) 1 August 2020 - submission of full papers 1 December 2020 - review process complete 1 May 2021 - publication of articles Trust and Digital Platforms As online activities and experiences are increasingly mediated through digital platforms, a series of scandals and ‘public shocks’ (Ananny & Gillespie, 2017) have raised concerns about privacy and security, the misuse of user data, algorithmic biases, and the public distribution of objectionable and sometimes abhorrent content through the internet (Flew, Martin, & Suzor, 2019). Legislators and regulators in many countries are now engaged in public enquiries and the development of new laws to apply public interest standards to digital platforms, as First Amendment arguments about freedom of online expression and claims that the platforms are simply intermediaries are increasingly under challenge (Napoli, 2019). This special issue proposes to view such questions from the perspective of trust. International surveys have documented a decline in trust in social, political institutions over time, including rising distrust of the media (Edelman, 2019). Manifestations of declining public trust are variously seen in the rise of populist political movements (Norris & Ingelhart, 2019), concerns about ‘fake news’ and ‘deepfakes’ (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017), and scandals surrounding leading public institutions, from financial institutions and digital platform companies to political parties and religious organizations. Trust is a multifaceted concept, and important contributions have been made to the field from philosophy, political science, sociology and economics, as well as communication and media studies. To take one example, the concept of a public sphere rests upon an underlying degree of trust in journalists and the organizations involved in the production and distribution of news and information (Coleman, 2012). Amidst talk about whether the concerns about the power of digital platforms and ‘surveillance capitalism’ (Zuboff, 2019) points towards ‘the end of trust’(McSweeney’s, 2019), this special issue poses questions such as: * Do communication scholars have original insights into questions of trust, and how can they draw upon other fields of scholarship around trust issues? * Is trust or distrust a concept that is empirically measurable? Are there lessons from earlier ‘social capital’ debates about how to understand relations of trust, and what is the relationship of digital technologies to trust issues? * Can government regulation address the power of digital platforms and contribute to better relations of trust between platform users and providers? What lessons can be learnt from laws passed in other jurisdictions (e.g. European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, Germany’s Online Hate Speech laws, Singapore’s anti-Fake News laws)? * Does the global and decentralized nature of such platforms necessitate that the lead be taken by non-governmental organizations, or that the solutions will be essentially technological in nature (e.g. a combination of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies)? * Is regulation of digital platforms best understood as being within the remit of communications policies, or are the most appropriate measures primarily related to economic policies, such as anti-trust and consumer protection laws, or by regarding digital platforms as ‘information fiduciaries’ (Balkin, 2018; Dobkin, 2018)?

Publication guidelines can be found here. About the journal Global Perspectives (GP) is an online-only, peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary journal seeking to advance social science research and debates in a globalizing world, specifically in terms of concepts, theories, methodologies, and evidence bases. Work published in the journal is enriched by invited perspectives, through scholarly annotations, that enhance its global and interdisciplinary implications. GP is devoted to the study of global patterns and developments across a wide range of topics and fields, among them trade and markets, security and sustainability, communication and media, justice and law, governance and regulation, culture and value systems, identities, environmental interfaces, technology-society interfaces, shifting geographies and migration. GP sets out to help overcome national and disciplinary fragmentation and isolation. GP starts from the premise that the world that gave rise to the social sciences in their present form is no more. The national and disciplinary approaches that developed over the last century are increasingly insufficient to capture the complexities of the global realities of a world that has changed significantly in a relatively short period of time. New concepts, approaches and forms of academic discourse may be called for. About the Communication and Media Section of Global Perspectives Section Editor: Payal Arora, Erasmus University Rotterdam The ‘global turn’ in communications, advances in mobile technologies and the rise of digital social networks are changing the world´s media landscapes, creating complex disjunctures between economy, culture, and society at local, national, and transnational levels. The role of traditional mass media - print, radio and television - is changing as well. In many cases, traditional journalism is declining, while that of user-generated content by bloggers, podcasters, and digital activists is gaining currency worldwide, as is the impact of robotics and artificial intelligence on communication systems. Today, researchers find themselves at important junctures in their inquiries that require innovations in concepts, frameworks, methodologies and empirics. Global Perspectives aims to be a forum for scholars from across multiple disciplines and fields, and the Communication and Media Section invites submissions on cutting-edge research on changing media and communication systems globally.
