*MA Data, Culture and Society* The School of Media and Communication at University of Westminster welcomes applications to its MA programme in Data, Culture and Society for September 2019 entry. We live in an age where almost everything of what we do is connected to data. Big data and datafication - the increasing transformation of multiple aspects of everyday lives into digital data - pose great opportunities but also risks for contemporary societies. The programme is part of the School's Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) which is home to around 30 researchers and 65 doctoral students. It has been a leading centre of media and communications research in the UK for almost 30 years. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), 52 per cent of our research was judged to be “world-leading”, with 87 per cent of the total rated “internationally excellent”. CAMRI is noted for its strong international dimension and its focus on critical media research, with interests in the study of digital and social media, the political economy of communications, global and transnational media, media policy studies, media and activism, and media history. *Live webinar, Wednesday, 20 March, 2PM: * Interested applicants can join a live webinar to find out more about the course and ask questions. Please register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1768245992160977420 *What do students do on the course?* This multidisciplinary course combines hands-on and applied approaches with theoretical learning and critical analysis. It will encourage collaboration, creative practice, group work and problem-based learning. Students will be introduced to the tools and approaches that can be used for collection, analysis, management and visualisation of data, as well as to the skills needed to critically think about the ethical, cultural, social and political implications of their practices. *Who is the course for?* The course combines technical skills, critical use and creative production. It addresses graduates, who may wish to acquire a set of skills in relation to data analytics, processing and visualisation, while maintaining and furthering a critical mode of enquiry into practices and trends that shape individuals, organisations and societies today.

At the same time, the edge of the Internet is increasingly empowered with new capabilities, like pervasive sensing and computing power, which opens the way to new domains, services and business models beyond traditional mobile Internet, such as connected cars, participatory and urban sensing, industrial IoT. As a consequence, new types of information have to be delivered by the network with varying requirements in terms of reliability, transmission rates and latency. To cope with the exponential growth of devices and mobile data traffic, there is a need for clean-slate or evolutionary Internet architectures merging and assembling different network technologies, supporting new paradigms for wired/wireless system planning and optimization, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, efficient and quality-aware content distribution, and new approaches for unified operations and management of the heterogeneous components, like software-defined systems and network function virtualization. These are only some examples of the challenges that are of interest to IFIP WWIC 2019. The IFIP WWIC 2019 conference takes a broader view to the merge of wired and wireless technologies and welcomes submissions from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, and technologies for a global wired/wireless Internet network. Papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis, are solicited. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to generate insightful provocative discussions.

Imagining your audience on social media
by Mark Carrigan 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

Hi everyone, Could anyone recommend literature on how people imagine audiences on social media? I'm particularly interested in the *ambition *to build an audience: who they are imagined to be, how it is imagined they can be reached, what is imagined to flow from winning their attention. I'm finding stuff that touches on this in the literature on micro-celebrity and influencers but I've got a bit preoccupied with how this relates to the practical steps people take in their day-to-day use of a platform. Any ideas or leads to follow are very much appreciated. Thanks! Cheers, Mark ____________________________ Sent From My Desktop www.markcarrigan.net @mark_carrigan *Digital Engagement Fellow, The Sociological Review Foundation <http://www.thesociologicalreview.com/> (@TheSocReview <http://www.twitter.com/thesocreview/>)* *Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Cambridge (@CPGJCam <http://www.twitter.com/cpgjcam/>)* *Each of my jobs is part-time therefore it will often take more than 24 hours for me to respond to e-mails.
