Now that you're fresh from one great conference ...
consider another upcoming one ... (and again, THANKS / TUSIND TAK everybody for making our 10th anniversary conference such an extraordinary experience!) On behalf of the Local and Program Chairs, and the CATaC Executive Committee, we are very pleased to pass on to you the Call for Papers for CATaC (Cultural Attitudes towards Technology and Communication) 2010, "Diffusion 2.0: Computing, mobility, and the next generations". Venue: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Dates: 15-18 June 2010 CATaC'10 will feature keynote addresses by Dr Linc Kesler (First Nations Studies, The University of British Columbia) and Dr John Willinsky (Stanford University School of Education). The CATaC conference series provides a premier international forum for current research on how diverse cultural attitudes shape the implementation and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The conference series brings together scholars from around the globe who provide diverse perspectives, both in terms of the specific culture(s) they highlight in their presentations and discussions, and in terms of the discipline(s) through which they approach the conference theme. Original full papers (especially those which connect theoretical frameworks with specific examples of cultural values and practices) and short papers (e.g. describing current research projects and preliminary results) are invited. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: - Mobile technologies in developing countries - New layers of imaging and texting interactions fostering and/or threatening cultural diversity - Theoretical and practical approaches to analyzing "culture" - Impact of mobile technologies on privacy and surveillance - Gender, sexuality and identity issues in social networks - Cultural diversity in e-learning and/or m-learning Both short (3-5 pages) and long (10-15 pages) original papers are sought. See "submissions" on the conference website - http://www.catacconference.org - for information about submitting papers and formatting guidelines. The conference web site also provides further details regarding accommodations, submission procedures, etc. We look forward to receiving your submissions and to welcoming you to Vancouver in 2010! Local Co-Chair: Leah Macfadyen (UBC) Local Co-Chair: Kenneth Reeder (UBC) Program Chair: Herbert Hrachovec (University of Vienna) Executive Committee: Lorna Heaton (Université de Montréal, Canada) Maja van der Velden (University of Oslo, Norway) Fay Sudweeks (Co-Chair, CATaC) Charles Ess (Co-Chair, CATaC)

What happens in Milwaukee, stays in Milwaukee ... very nice blog, Matt - thanks! I would also add, at the risk of seriousness, that insofar as our meetings and conversations approach something like (gentle warning to Terri Senft, who's on record for banning the term 'public sphere' from AoIR conferences ...: I know you won't be happy with me using the phrase ... smile) a public sphere, they do so in ways that reflect, in my view, important critical revisions of the purely rational version thereof in early Habermas. As one example my colleague May Thorseth (NTNU, Trondheim) has (among others) critiqued and extended that early version in light of the work of Hannah Arendt, Iris Marion Young, and others, in order to recognize the legitimacy and significance of the emotive and the narrative as well. E.g., Nancy Baym's recalling for us a founding story ... (Terri - you'll like the part about how May draws a good chunk of this from Kant's third Critique! [As do, FWIW, several of the other articles in the special issue.]) Thorseth, May. 2008. Reflective judgment and enlarged thinking online. _Ethics and Information Technology_, Volume 10, Number 4. DOI: 10.1007/s10676-008-9166-6 Pages: 221-231 enjoy! - charles ess Past President (and thereby now a member of AoIR's jedi ghosts ...)
My thanks for the response; small amendments made to blog so that it is a slightly better historical record (remember it was live blogging) :).
