Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross posting this call for papers. My colleagues Dr. Leanne Bowler and Dr. Luci Pangrazio, and I invite you to submit to a special issue on Data Literacies for the journal of Information and Learning Sciences <https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/journal/ils>. I’ve excerpted the CFP below, for the full description please see: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/calls-for-papers/perspectives-data-li... For this Special Issue, we invite papers exploring current perspectives in learning and information research and teaching on data literacies among learners, addressing the growing need for a data literate society. Future job prospects hinge on the ability to participate and use datafied systems and processes, which requires the ability to read, analyze, reason with, and argue with multiple forms of data. But equally, people are themselves subjects of data, being thoroughly measured, tracked, and analyzed through their personal digital data created with everyday information and communication technologies. Contemporary data subjectivity, built on data traces and their near constant collection, affects people’s most basic sense of autonomy and agency in life. As well, there is a wide disconnect between the data practices of government and corporations and the data skills, knowledge, and level of awareness of the general public (Deahl, 2014; Qlik, 2019). Scope: The guest editors invite research addressing teaching and learning related to data literacies in primary and secondary school (K-12) and at the undergraduate level, as well as informal spaces of learning such as libraries and after-school programs, and among learners and publics of all ages. Submissions from a broad range of disciplines, including information science, the learning sciences, and science and technology studies, among others are welcome. We welcome work offering new data literacy theory / frameworks / definitions, design and implementation research, practice theories, and well-contextualized cross-sectional research exploring data literacy levels among groups / publics / contexts, perhaps addressing inequality. Justice-oriented frameworks, sociotechnical lenses, and other approaches appropriate to the topic of data literacies in varying information and learning contexts are invited. Submissions are due 31 May 2023.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Sincerely, Amelia -- Dr. Amelia Acker Associate Professor School of Information University of Texas at Austin http://www.ameliaacker.com/
