Dear AOIRs, I would like to bring to you attention the call for abstracts "Building knowledge based on digital data:participation spaces,methodological problems and ethical implications" Here you can find the details about the call for abstracts: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/8486e6_54381ccbf60b4b8eb37fc6f99752dcda.pdf This track aims to gather contributions exploring knowledge building from the increasing availability of digital data, focusing on research opportunities and methodological challenges for social sciences, with particular reference to the following aspects: participation spaces and the involvement of non-expert actors, the issue of ownership and data control by those who generate them, the ethical implications of research activities using digital data produced by others, epistemological and methodological aspects of data collected by third parties for multidimensional and complex research purposes, the role of theories and forms of generative social science. *Abstracts (written in English, or in Italian in case of tracks in double language) should be submitted by** the 10th of **February* to the conference email address (7thstsitaliaconf@gmail.com) and to the emails of convenors' selected track. The track will be part of STS Italia VII conference “Technoscience from Below <https://www.frombelow-stsitaliaconf.org/>” hosted by University of Padova (Italy) in late spring, 14-16 June 2018 <http://airmail.calendar/2018-06-14%2012:00:00%20CEST>.
