[apologies for x-posting] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear AOIR colleagues, First call for papers for the Mobile, digital and social media stream for ANZCA 2011 – Communication on the Edge: Shifting Boundaries and Identities 6-8 July 2011. The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. www.management.ac.nz/anzca2011 FULL PAPERS DUE FOR REFEREEING: Monday 7th February 2011 ABSTRACTS FOR NON-REFEREED PAPERS: Monday 7th February 2011 Stream Coordinators: Clare Lloyd and Scott Rickard Digital communication is impacting on our everyday lives, constantly shifting and changing our personal relationships, and enhancing opportunities to interact with others. Or does it? What challenges lie ahead in an era when manufacturers dominate the market place, and challenge our conceptions of our digital everyday lives with new apps, services and devices? And in what ways are we adopting, adapting, and appropriating technologies to improve our everyday communications? How are social participation sites challenging our personal understanding of risk, control and privacy? Or perhaps our identities are being challenged by the ubiquitous camera; reconceptualising our notions of who we are, and our locations both physical and virtual? How are marginalised communities and organisations engaging with digital communications; is the digital divide widening or narrowing? The mobile, digital and social media stream welcomes submissions that address the conference theme, and or contemporary issues in relation to mobile communications, mobile media, social media, and digital media. Further information can be obtained from the conference website and the Stream Co-ordinators: Scott Rickard srickard@swin.edu.au Clare Lloyd clare.lloyd@newcastle.edu.au Best wishes, Clare -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Dr Clare Lloyd Associate Lecturer Communication School of Design, Communication and Information Technology The University of Newcastle Callaghan NSW 2308 Email: Clare.Lloyd@newcastle.edu.au http://www.newcastle.edu.au/school/design-communication-it/ Location: McMullin Building, MCG08 -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
