Short internet ethnography suggestions
by Eleanor Marchant 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi Everyone! I have agreed to teach a guest lecture on ethnography for a friend's undergraduate research method course and I'm wondering if people in this group might have suggestions for a really great reading. I really want to give them a reading that is itself an ethnography (rather than being a piece about ethnography or how to do it), and that deals with some aspect of technology or internet and society, perhaps incorporating both online and offline ethnographic methods. Perferably something published in the last 8 years to keep it contemporary. I have tons of favorite ethnographic pieces in this vein, but the problem is most of them tend to be books and I don't think you can get a good feel for these works by just reading one chapter. So does anyone have suggestions about short readings, perhaps, a journal article, that fit the bill? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I would suggest Jeff Lane's soon to be released ethnography "Digital Street" on young people in Harlem. An extensive online/offline ethnography based on five years of observations, dealing with poverty, gangs, violence, dating and more. https://amzn.to/2RYqamh He published a journal article, early observations that does a nice job of explaining the need for why ethnography of digital subjects needs offline components: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0002764215601711?journalCode=a… Keith > Message: 4 > Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 12:07:33 +0000 > From: Eleanor Marchant <eleanor.marchant(a)csls.ox.ac.uk> > To: aoir list <air-l(a)aoir.org> > Subject: [Air-L] Short internet ethnography suggestions > Message-ID: > < > CWXP265MB12700FCCE53BDCE7EC9D128C8EDC0(a)CWXP265MB1270.GBRP265.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM > > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Hi Everyone! > > I have agreed to teach a guest lecture on ethnography for a friend's > undergraduate research method course and I'm wondering if people in this > group might have suggestions for a really great reading.

Call for abstracts for Media for Social Justice conference
by Harlow, Summer 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

The Jack J. Valenti School of Communication at the University of Houston is now accepting abstracts for its 2019 Global Communication Summit, Media for Social Justice: Journalism + Activism + Technology, to be held Feb. 22. The bilingual conference will bring together academics, journalists, and activists from throughout Latin America and the United States to discuss the media-social movement relationship. Details of the conference are available here in Spanish and in English: https://www.globalcommunicationsummit.org/ Abstracts are due Dec. 14 to Summer Harlow at sharlow(a)central.uh.edu<mailto:sharlow@central.uh.edu>. For details of the abstract call, see here in English: https://www.globalcommunicationsummit.org/call-for-papers/ La convocatoria también está disponible en español: https://www.globalcommunicationsummit.org/convocatoria/ The full call for abstracts is copied below: Call for Abstracts The University of Houston’s Valenti School of Communication is seeking abstracts for its second annual Global Communication Summit. The theme for the event, to be held Feb. 22, 2019, is Media for Social Justice: Journalism + Activism + Technology. The deadline for abstracts is Dec. 14, 2018. Research shows that mainstream news outlets have struggled to accurately and fairly portray protests: the media’s tendency toward negative protest coverage (known as the “protest paradigm”) demonizes protesters and delegitimizes their demands. How the media cover protests is fundamental to a protest’s viability, influencing the public’s acceptance or rejection of the cause. A recent rise in protests worldwide, coupled with an ever-evolving media ecology, demand a better understanding of the factors that influence protest coverage. In part the paradigmatic coverage of protests, and the resulting complex and tense media-activist relationship, rests with journalists and their identities, practices, and routines. Few journalists, though, are trained in how to cover social movements, thus potentially contributing to the maintenance of the paradigm. Further potentially exacerbating the problem is that activists are not necessarily trained communicators, and unaware of how best to reach out to journalists or attract positive media attention. A lack of trust and fear of misrepresentation also comes into play. Recent research has begun considering how journalists and activists can use social media to disrupt the paradigm, especially as digital technologies allow activists to take control of their own messages and bypass mainstream media through the creation of online alternative or activist media. Further, the insertion of social media users into the gatekeeping process has the potential to influence which protest narratives are most circulated online. In this digital era of increased protest activity—online and offline—, it’s important to consider how new technologies might be changing the way journalists and activists relate, while recognizing that analog tactics still have an important part to play, especially in non-Western and developing countries. With this in mind, we invite abstracts that broadly address the role of media in contributing to, or detracting from, social justice. Possible questions to explore include, but are not limited to: * What role do social media play in facilitating and mobilizing activism and community participation? * What are the benefits and/or potential pitfalls of hashtag activism? How do the digital and analog complement or compete with each other in the activist’s repertoire? * How have activists’ media practices changed in response to new technologies and political challenges? * How have journalists responded to the worldwide uptick in protests? How are journalists’ protest coverage and practices changing? * How are journalists responding to shifts in media power as more activists, citizens, and politicians use social media to communicate their messages? * Ethically speaking, what should the relationship between journalists and activists look like? * How do we define the demarcating line between journalists and activists, and is it even worth doing so? * What roles and responsibilities do journalists have in contributing to social justice? * What role can community, alternative, and activist media play in this age of “fake news”? We especially invite abstracts that take a de-Westernized approach and/or focus on cases outside the United States. Qualitative and quantitative work is welcome, as are methodological papers. Abstracts should include: 1. Paper title 2. Names, affiliations, and a brief bio of authors 3. 3-5 keywords 4. A 300-400 word abstract (excluding references) that includes a description of the research project and its significance, with specific research questions or hypotheses, methods, overview of findings (if available at the time of submission), and relevance to the conference theme. Submissions should be in English or Spanish. Timeline: 1. Abstracts are due Dec. 14 and should be submitted to Summer Harlow at sharlow(a)central.uh.edu<mailto:sharlow@central.uh.edu>. Be sure to include “Global Communication Summit” in the subject line. 2. Notifications of acceptances will be sent by late December/early January. The conference will begin at 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 22, with a plenary panel of journalists and activists from Latin America and the U.S. The afternoon will include a workshop for activists and journalists, and the evening will feature a documentary screening. There also will be a keynote speaker during lunch. Summer Harlow, Ph. D. Assistant professor Jack J.

Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. The Doctoral Consortium is implemented as a student mentoring program that introduces students to senior researchers from the relevant fields. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student's work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium, students are asked to submit a paper presenting their doctoral research that describes: ? The problem being addressed. ? Motivation outlining the relevance of the problem and referring to related work. ? The main contributions that the PhD project aims to achieve. ? The progress made to date (including a clear description of the proposed approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. ? Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2019 key areas. Each DC submission is encouraged to consider the following: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve. In addition, as appropriate for the PhD project, the submissions can consider: indication of data to be used for experimentation, indication of implementation approach, indication of evaluation criteria and experimental design. Each submission should contain a cover page including the paper title, name of the PhD candidate, the name of his/her supervisor(s) and University, a paragraph describing the stage they are in the PhD programme, together with a brief description of their background. This will enable the committee to adapt its assistance to each student. Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair Doctoral Consortium submission system: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http:%2F%2Fwww.cs.ucy.ac… Submissions should be pdf documents consisting of 1 cover page and the paper (up to 4 pages long), formatted using the ACM SIG proceedings template. ACM UMAP Proceedings The accepted ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings, which will be published by ACM and that will be available via the ACM Digital Library. The main author (doctoral student) must register for the conference for the paper to be included in the proceedings. Financial Support ACM UMAP has a history of supporting students to attend. Further details will be announced on the website soon. Important Dates ? Paper submission: 1st March, 2019 ? Notification to authors: 22nd March 2019 ? Camera ready submission: 3rd April 2019 ?

The 27th ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (UMAP 2019): First Call for Doctoral Consortium Submissions
by Announce Announcements 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

*** FIRST CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM SUBMISSIONS *** 27th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2019) Golden Bay Beach Hotel 5*, Larnaca, Cyprus, June 9-12, 2019 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… Submissions due: March 1, 2019 ACM UMAP 2019, the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information, will, as in previous issues of the conference series, include a Doctoral Consortium (DC) Session, which provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of distinguished researchers from the field. Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice. The Doctoral Consortium is implemented as a student mentoring program that introduces students to senior researchers from the relevant fields. Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see below described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for presentation at a Doctoral Consortium Session as part of the conference. Promising, but less well- developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student's work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium. How to Submit to the Doctoral Consortium To apply for the ACM UMAP 2019 Doctoral Consortium, students are asked to submit a paper presenting their doctoral research that describes: · The problem being addressed. · Motivation outlining the relevance of the problem and referring to related work. · The main contributions that the PhD project aims to achieve. · The progress made to date (including a clear description of the proposed approach, methodology and preliminary results) as well as the plan for further research. · Topics include (but are not limited to) the ACM UMAP 2019 key areas. Each DC submission is encouraged to consider the following: identification of related (state of the art) work, indication of the potential innovation, application or advancement of the state-of-the-art that the work intends to achieve.

My goal is two-fold: At the very least, I want to prepare journalism students to be able to report upon the current and future social impact of AI. Ideally, I would like journalism students to be prepared to help anticipate, influence and shape the intersection of AI and journalism. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on books, articles, links and resources that you think might be useful. With thanks and best wishes.
