Dear All (sorry for cross-posting), We are pleased to announce that the final conference of the project “V-Data - The value of digital data: enhancing citizens’ awareness and voice about surveillance capitalism”, funded by Fondazione Cariplo, will take place 7-8 September 2023 at the University of Pavia. Call for contributions and all info on programme, fees and accommodation available at: https://vdataresearch.com/outputs/cal-for-contributions/ The event will comprise panel presentations and one keynote session hosting the internationally renowned scholar Stefania Milan ( https://www.stefaniamilan.net/about-me/). A maximum of 25 papers will be selected for presentation. Preference will be given to speakers who plan to attend the conference in person, but a small number of remote presentations (no more than one per panel) may be included in the programme. We invite researchers who are active in the field of surveillance studies, surveillance capitalism, data justice, algorithmic studies, data ethics, Science and Technology Studies (STS), digital and computational methods, digital labour, media consumption and attitudes, critical consumer studies, platform studies (and many more) to submit proposals for paper presentations. Please submit an abstract (max. 300 words) to the event organisers by sending it via email to vdataresearch@gmail.com by 30 April 2023. What are you waiting for?
