Hi everyone, just a friendly reminder that the deadlines for submitting a nomination for the Association for Information Science and Technology Special Interest Group for Social Informatics's (ASIS&T SIG SI) Best Paper and Emerging Social Informatics Researcher Awards are coming up a little over a week from now, on *July 10*. Please see our original call for nominations (quoted below) for details on how to nominate; self-nominations are welcome and the process is fairly easy! We would especially encourage students whose research relates to social informatics or cognate areas (e.g. sociotechnical systems, ICT4D, Internet research, etc.) to consider applying for our new Emerging Social Informatics Researcher Awards, as if you are selected as one of two winners you may be able to attend the online ASIS&T 2020 Annual Meeting and Social Informatics Research Symposium (co-organized by SIG SI, SM [Social Media], and IEP [Information Ethics & Policy]). Or if you are a supervisor or advisor of, or collaborator with, a student who might be interested, please also encourage them to apply for the award! Students at all levels are welcome to apply, and good luck! - Adam (Awards Coordinator, ASIS&T SIG SI) On Fri, Jun 19, 2020 at 4:06 PM Adam Worrall <worrall@ualberta.ca> wrote:
