With apologies for cross-posting. Dear Colleagues, There’s only two days left to register for the 2022 Policy & Internet Conference, to be held at the University of Sydney, September 28 and 29. Registrations will close Tuesday (27 September) for catering purposes. https://internet-policy-meco.sydney.edu.au/datafication-platformization-meta... The conference theme, Datafication. Platformization. Metaverse. The state of global internet policy, explores how the current developments within digital media spaces has a regulatory impact. This conference is hybrid, so if you can’t make it to Sydney for the live event, please consider registering for the streaming online alternative. We also have a preconference, free of charge, on the Tuesday 27. We invite all interested to a pre-conference event on the 27th of September, between 1pm and 4pm, on the topic of Strategic Storytelling in Digital Media. Strategic storytelling is a practice being used by actors as diverse as the far-right, climate justice activists, proponents of the "circular economy", First Nations peoples in Australia and beyond, those campaigning for recognition of intersectional relations and identity difference, and resistant narratives in warfare. This pre-conference will bring together leading scholars whose research touches on these diverse themes and topics to examine the practice, and generate dialogue and potential new research directions alongside Professor John Hartley, who has recently joined the University of Sydney's Discipline of Media and Communications. Please consider registering here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/strategic-storytelling-in-digital-media-resea...
