Hi Satarupa, 

Our work wasnt related to social/protest movements, but we conducted a study looking at tweets related to concussion in sport and used basic content analysis on the tweets we retrieved:

Dear Scholars,

I am conducting research on the social media (Twitter) discourses of the
Anna Hazare anti-corruption movement in India. I have a corpus of tweets
collected during five days that are significant for the movement. I would
highly appreciate any recommendations for literature on qualitative
(thematic/discourse/content) analysis of Twitter data, especially in the
context of a social/protest movement.

Please feel free to write to me off the list if you have any questions.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Satarupa
I found this one very useful for its analysis of social sense making using
twitter.

Terri,

there is a wonderful card game on Privacy that 
can be used for education. And the good thing is, 
there is an online version on this, played via 
Facebook.

You can learn more about the online game here: 
http://www.open.edu/openlearn/privacy

For the card game you have to approach 
david.barnard-wills at trilateralresearch.com - you 
was involved in conceptualising the game in the 
first place.

I will test this game with students and 
highschool pupils to see whether it can be used 
for education during this spring. I will let you 
know if and how it works.

best wishes

nilz

Call for Papers: Media, Religion and In/vulnerability 

Proposed Panel at CRESC Annual Conference (SOAS, London, September 4-6 2013)

Abstract Deadline: April 8 2013

The Mediating Religion Network invites proposals for papers on the topic of ?Media, Religion and In/vulnerability?. Mediating Religion aims to contribute several panel sessions at the 2013 Annual Conference of the Centre for Research into Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC). This year?s CRESC conference title is In/vulnerabilities and Social Change: Precarious Lives and Experimental Knowledge, and we are convinced that scholars of religion and media can make a valuable contribution to academic discussion of this important theme. Mediating Religion hopes to publish these presentations as a special issue of a peer-reviewed academic journal. 

The CRESC Annual Conference Call for Papers can be found here: http://www.cresc.ac.uk/events/cresc-annual-conference. The conference focuses on ?the relationship between vulnerability and invulnerability?, including the precarious lives of the majority and the precarious knowledge and status of religious, political and media elites.

Religion and media constitute intertwined sites and occasions for the formation of social relations and connectivities marked by persistent and novel vulnerabilities and invulnerabilities. But what are the conditions that make such relations and connectivities on the one hand durable, strong and powerful or on the other, vulnerable, precarious and risky? 

Contributions may take historical and/or ethnographic perspectives and may approach the concept of media broadly to include either a direct focus on specific media (e.g., print or digital) and religion (e.g., religious broadcasting) or a wider theoretical focus on mediation as a problematic of social theory in which religion and its (in)vulnerability to processes of rapid social change is a recurring question.

Proposals for papers should include a title, a 200-word abstract and a very brief statement of the applicant?s affiliation and research interests. We would like to keep a focus around issues of blame and trust in our explorations of in/vulnerabilities. 

Submissions should be sent to Dr Tim Hutchings (CRESC Research Fellow) at tim.hutchings at open.ac.uk. Feel free to contract Tim or Marie Gillespie (marie.gillespie at open.ac.uk) to discuss paper proposals. Deadline for Proposals - April 8th 2013.

Call for Papers: "Digital Media and Sacred Text", June 17, Open University (Camden, London)

Keynote speaker: Professor Heidi Campbell

This one-day conference will bring together academics interested in the study of religion and digital text from a wide range of religious traditions, including sociologists, ethnographers, media scholars, computer scientists and digital humanists. We also welcome religious practitioners and publishers engaged in creating digital sacred texts. 

Possible topics include:

-         How can digital media affect the relationship between a religious reader and their sacred text?
-         Does digitisation influence the interpretation of a text?
-         Can digitisation impact structures of religious authority? 
-         What norms are emerging to guide the use of digital sacred texts, and how are those norms being negotiated?
-         How can digital sacred texts be designed to meet the needs of religious readers?
-         What challenges does the process of digitizing sacred text raise for religious communities?

If you would like to present a paper at this event, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words by April 15th to Tim Hutchings (tim.hutchings at open.ac.uk).

Thanks to generous funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, we are able to offer a small number of bursaries to cover travel expenses for PhD students.

Subject: [Air-L] Governing Algorithms - Conference at New York University -

GOVERNING ALGORITHMS
A conference on computation, automation, and control

New York University
May 16-17, 2013

Algorithms are increasingly invoked as powerful entities that control,
govern, sort, regulate, and shape everything from financial trades to news
media. Nevertheless, the nature and implications of such orderings are far
from clear. What exactly is it that algorithms ?govern?? What is the role
attributed to ?algorithms? in these arguments? Can we turn the ?problem of
algorithms? into an object of productive inquiry?

This conference sets out to explore the recent rise of algorithms as an
object of interest in scholarship, policy, and practice beyond computer
science. Taking a fresh view on the current wave of interest in this topic,
we aim to discuss themes such as:

* the very idea of ?algorithms? as a subject and object of analysis
* issues of methodology and the kind of knowledge claims that come with
algorithms
* the rhetoric of problems and solutions, success and failure
* questions of agency, accountability, and automation
* secrecy, obscurity, inscrutability
* rules, regulations, resistance

Speakers include: Lucas Introna, Tarleton Gillespie, Evgeny Morozov, Daniel
Neyland, Frank Pasquale, Claudia Perlich, Robert Tarjan as well as Mike
Annany, Kate Crawford, Lisa Gitelman, Moritz Hardt, Matthew Jones, Karrie
Karahalios, and Martha Poon.

Everyone is welcome, but registration is required:
http://governingalgorithms.org/registration/

Organizing committee:
Solon Barocas, Sophie Hood, Helen Nissenbaum, Malte Ziewitz

The conference is supported by the Intel Science & Technology Center for
Social Computing, the Information Law Institute at NYU School of Law, and
the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.

Subject: [Air-L]  Audiovisual Thinking issue #5 is now available
Message-ID: <CAO7hG2nApsPhVG-nPW7r06pUjBgOC-Bq-Z91-LHxPE_g0vmHWw@mail.gmail.com>

Audiovisual Thinking issue #5 on the theme of Audiovisual learning 2.0 is
now available on wwww.audiovisualthinking.org.



The call for submissions for issue#6 on The Visuality of Security is still
open and closes on the 15th April 2013.


What is Audiovisual Thinking?

Audiovisual Thinking is a peer reviewed academic online journal and
pioneering forum where academics, practitioners and educators can
articulate, conceptualize and disseminate their research about audiovisual
culture through video.

International in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, the purpose of
Audiovisual Thinking is to develop and promote academic thinking in and
about all aspects of audiovisuality and audiovisual culture. Advised by a
board of leading academics and thinkers in the fields of audiovisuality,
communication and the media and hosted by Copenhagen University, the
journal seeks to set the standard for academic audiovisual essays now and
in the future. We study, teach and research the moving image, media and
audiovisuality, yet we rarely mediate in these same forms and media.
Audiovisual Thinking hopes to change this.

Video submissions are welcome from all fields of study and, as one would
expect, the main criteria for submissions are that the discussion and
thinking are conveyed through audiovisual means.

Please visit us on www.audiovisualthinking.org to watch academic videos and
submit your own.

Dear Dr. Forno,

I am preparing a blog post on the common assumptions behind the Coburn
amendment and MOOC madness, and I found  your comments below very useful in
conceptualizing my argument. I would like to directly quote and cite you in
the post. Would that be alright with you? And, if so, should I link to your
infowarrior.org site so my readers can find you? If this is not something
you are interested in, I will instead paraphrase you anonymously, but I
would much rather give you credit!

Thanks for your consideration,

Quantifying Politics Using Online Data
Special Issue -- Social Science Computer Review Journal

https://sites.google.com/site/qpol2013

Submission deadline:  July 7, 2013  (Abstracts: June 1)
Submission website:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpol2013


Large web-based datasets make possible political studies at a scale inconceivable just a few decades before. Everything from personal opinions to popular political movements leaves a footprint online, and provides a first-hand account of both everyday and historic events. This new data also calls for new approaches -- quantitative methods developed in the realms of political and social science, but also in data analysis and mining. Applied to online data, these make possible language modeling, topic tracking, novelty detection, social network mining, and many more types of analyses, all providing new insights into the social and political realities. This special issue focuses on the application of quantitative methods in political analysis of online data. The sources of such data may be, but are not limited to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, news comments, Wikipedia edits, discussion forums, blogs, etc.

Social Science Computer Review (SSCR) is an interdisciplinary journal covering social science instructional and research applications of computing, as well as societal impacts of information technology.

Hi, Satarupa.

My colleague Joel Penney and I have an article forthcoming in the next
issue of New Media and Society about the use of Twitter in Occupy Wall
Street. While we did not analyze specific tweets (our data derived from
interviews with OWS participants), hopefully parts of it will be useful to
you. An advance copy of the article is available through this link, if you
have access to Sage publications.

Best,
Caroline

Hi everyone. What a great Q Satarupa!

I have an article that was recently published online first (upcoming in print) in a special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist edited by Zeynep Tufekci and Deen Freelon explored the possibilities of learning about the Occupy Wall Street movement through the #OWS hashtag. 

I'm attaching the link to the article as well. Thanks to Caroline and Joel for passing on their article about OWS, I can't wait to read it :)

Here's mine: http://intl-abs.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/03/15/0002764213479372.abstract

Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 13:08:26 -0500
Subject: [Air-L] digitalSTS Workshop: Call for Applications (due April 8th,
	2013)
Message-ID: <E83CD273-D310-421C-91DA-3C8B99FF8CDA@columbia.edu>

Apologies for X-posting.

Dear Colleagues,

Following upon the success of last year?s digitalSTS event at the 4S Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, we invite your participation in a second workshop. Over the course of two days this summer (June 27-28, 2013) we will use design methods to explore new hybrid forms of materiality in technoscience. This is an opportunity to learn new skills or lead others in making visualizations, maps, models, and data documentaries.

Across domains of science and technology studies, increased attention is being focused on the material dimensions of digital media. Indeed, scholars convened around social studies of materiality are seeking out new methods to study the stuff of ?big data,? ?information infrastructures,? and the ?internet of things.? Moreover, these new phenomena are understood as hybrids, merging digital and non-digital practices that resist simple analysis. We see productive means of engaging with hybrid forms of materiality in the interpretive, collaborative, and interventionist approaches pioneered by designers including codesign, participatory design, design fiction, speculative design, and critical making. Design is particularly relevant to digital studies; through making, it is possible to become a participant in the otherwise opaque technical work of constructing data and other digital artifacts.

The workshop will be staged at Harvard University?s Arnold Arboretum, one of the most comprehensive and best-documented living collections of trees, shrubs, and vines in the world. The Arboretum is equal parts urban forest, museum, and open laboratory. It is a venerable and sprawling site for the public display of scientific objects and knowledge. Workshop participants will take part in hands-on, team-based design projects that leverage the collection?s digital data as well as their woody referents in the landscape. Please join us at this second digitalSTS workshop to explore new tools for taking apart technoscience.

To apply for a spot in the digitalSTS Workshop, please submit the following materials to digitalsts at zoho.com

1. A 1-paragraph biography

2. A 1-2 paragraph statement of interest in design methods and digital STS

3. A link to your online presence

The application deadline is APRIL 8th, 2013. Participants will be notified soon after the deadline as to the status of their application. We encourage submissions by anyone engaged in digital studies of science and technology. Support for travel and accommodations may be available to graduate students.


This workshop is hosted in cooperation with metaLAB(at)Harvard and the Arnold Arboretum, and supported by funds and in-kind contributions from metaLAB, the Arboretum, NSF?s Office for Cyberinfrastructure, and Microsoft Research. More information is available at: http://digitalsts.wordpress.com.

Please feel free to pass this e-mail on to other scholars, designers, scientists, writers, bloggers, museum curators, researchers, journalists, filmmakers, colleagues, graduate students, faculty administrators, departments, and other professionals who might be interested.


Kind regards,

Yanni Loukissas, metaLAB/Graduate School of Design, Harvard University

I (sorta) maintain a bibliography of Twitter research at: http://www.danah.org/researchBibs/twitter.php

Anyone can add their own research to the list by clicking "submit new citation" on the upper right corner.  I'd strongly welcome/encourage folks to submit their work because lots of researchers from different fields visit this site pretty regularly. 

The articles on this list cover a lot of ground, far beyond qualitative analysis, but there's a lot of material there that's qualitative too.  

I hope that this helps!

Dear Satarupa,

I recently published a book, Twitter: Social Communication in the Twitter Age (Polity Press, 2013) which may be helpful for you. http://amzn.to/VNrgNn 

It has both qualitative and quantitative chapters about Twitter. It has a qualitative chapter on social movements and Twitter as well!

Regards,
Dhiraj

Subject: [Air-L] 2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies (DSST)
 Summer Institute
Message-ID: <06166848-21B5-40BB-9233-8C688D106992@umd.edu>

2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies (DSST) Summer Institute
(a joint effort of the Consortium for Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST) and the Summer Social Webshop)

July 28 ? August 1, 2013
University of Maryland -- College Park, Maryland USA

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 5, 2013  

MOOCs, Education and learning; personal health and well-being; open innovation, eScience, and citizen science; co-production, open source, and new forms of work; cultural heritage and information access; energy management and climate change; civic hacking, engagement and government; disaster response; cybersecurity and privacy ? these are just a few problem domains where effective design and robust understanding of complex sociotechnical systems is critical.  To meet these challenges a trans-disciplinary community of scholars has come together from fields as wide ranging as CSCW, HCI, social computing, organization studies, information visualization, social informatics, sociology, information systems, medical informatics, computer science, ICT for development, education, learning science, journalism, and political science.

Through summer institutes (CSST), extended workshops (Social Webshop), preconference workshops at a wide variety of venues, and other activities (Digital Societies and Technology Research Coordination Network) this community of researchers from academia and industry has developed a strong focus on problems and opportunities arising from the interplay of social and technological systems which span individuals, groups, organizations, and societies.

The 2013 Summer Institute builds on this tradition to strengthen and expand this diverse community by bringing together graduate students, post doctoral students, faculty, and other researchers in four groups at the University of Maryland, College Park on July 28-August 1:

Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers ? Through mentoring, peer networking, and skill-building tutorials, doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers will identify substantive ways that the theories, approaches, and tools within the larger community can advance their work with the design and study of sociotechnical systems.

Established researchers ? Prior summer institute/workshop participants and established researchers will network with other researchers (senior and junior), explore ideas and new directions, shape emerging research agendas, articulate critical challenges, and share knowledge about practices, tools, and approaches which have the potential to advance the design and study of sociotechnical systems.

Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams ? Nascent groups of researchers seeking to develop cross-disciplinary collaborations will work with peers and mentors to refine problem statements and research goals; connect with collaborators with complementary skills and interests; and create actionable research agendas and funding proposals.  Preference will be given to groups interested in designing and studying sociotechnical systems that address societal grand challenges such as (but not limited to) healthcare; energy management and climate change; cybersecurity and privacy; education and learning; disaster response; technology development and innovation; economic development and work; and civic engagement and participation.

Research infrastructure development teams ? Groups of researchers interested in creating computational or analytic tools, data resources, training materials or other infrastructure to support the design and study of sociotechnical systems will work with one another, other Summer institute participants, and local developers.  These infrastructure ?hackathon? sessions will result in the creation of use cases, prototypes, draft materials, and when possible deployable systems and resources.

APPLYING FOR DSST 2013

Applications are encouraged from all academic, industry, NGO, and public sector organizations worldwide.  To apply for the 2013 Summer Institute, select the group that best fits your needs and situation and send the appropriate materials to the Summer Institute co-coordinator (Brian Butler) at bsbutler at umd.edu by April 5th, 2013: 

* Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers should send their CV and a short (~ 1 page) response to: ?How does/will your work advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems??  Several core references should be included to situate your work within the larger research community.  Doctoral students should also provide a letter of recommendation from their advisor/department chair indicating their expected graduation date.

* Established researchers should send their CV and a short (~ 1 page) response to:  ?What are the most interesting challenges and opportunities related to the design and study of critical sociotechnical systems?  What activity (30 minutes to 4 hours long) could you run that would help the Summer Institute participants better engage these challenges and opportunities??  Proposed activities can be for any (or all) Summer Institute participants and might include, but are not limited to: focused presentations; brainstorming sessions; in-depth problem descriptions; method, tool, or data tutorials; or research agenda setting exercises.  

* Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (~ 1 page) response to:  ?What is the research focus/problem domain?  What types of activities/studies are needed to engage that domain?  How will pursuing this agenda help advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? References potential funding sources can be included, if known, to situate the proposal within the larger research community.  Groups invited to the Summer Institute will have between 4-6 people.  However, only 3 individuals need to be part of an application for it to be considered (assistance will be provided prior to the Summer Institute to help invited teams recruit additional participants as needed).  Preference will be given to cross-institutional teams in which junior/mid-career researchers play significant leadership roles.   

* Research infrastructure development teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (~ 1 page) response to:   ?What is the problem you are seeking to address?  What will you do to address that problem?  How will creating these technologies, tools, materials or infrastructure improve our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? References to examples from other domains can be included to situate your proposal.  Teams invited for the Summer Institute will have between 4-6 people from multiple disciplines and institutions.  However, only 3 individuals need to be part of an application to be considered (assistance will be provided prior to the Summer Institute to help invited teams recruit additional participants as needed).

Lodging, meals, and other onsite costs will be covered for all Summer Institute participants.  Limited travel support is available, if needed, for participants from US and Canadian institutions (with preference given to doctoral and post-doctoral students). Travel support may also be available for other Summer Institute participants. To be considered for all available financial support you should provide the following information when you apply:
* What college, university, or organization are you affiliated with?
* What is your primary department affiliation?
* If you are applying from a Canadian university, are you a member of the GRAND network?

Materials should be sent to Summer Institute co-coordinator (Brian Butler) at bsbutler at umd.edu by April 5th, 2013.  Applications will be reviewed by the Summer Institute Advisory Group beginning April 6th, 2013 using the following criteria:   
* Clear articulation of the hoped-for contribution to the theory, practice, or design of sociotechnical systems
* Likelihood of Summer Institute participation providing significant practical benefit for the individual/team
* Contribution to a balanced and diverse group of participants
The number of participants selected will depend on the available funding and the fit between applicants? interests and goals. 

For more information about the Summer Institute, contact the Summer Institute co-coordinators, Brian Butler (bsbutler at umd.edu) and Susan Winter (sjwinter at umd.edu).  For information about the broader community of researchers interested in design and study of sociotechnical systems, see:  CSST (www.sociotech.net), Social Webshop (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/webshop2012/), the "Researchers of the Socio-Technical" Facebook group, or the CSST listserv (csst at listserv.syr.edu).

Subject: [Air-L] 5 PhD positions, University of Tampere
Message-ID: <016f01ce2f90$43e59ac0$cbb0d040$@uta.fi>

Dear Colleagues,

Hopefully you can help us in spreading the word: The School where our Game
Research Lab is located has opened a call for five PhD positions (1-4
years), and we are of course interested to see good applications from those
working on game and internet studies areas. - Frans


The School of Information Sciences (SIS) at the University of Tampere
invites applications for FIVE DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITIONS. The positions are
for a fixed-term of one to four years. Successful candidates may accept the
position by 1 August 2013 at the earliest.

Successful candidates will pursue a doctoral degree in one of the doctoral
programmes of the School of Information Sciences at the University of
Tampere. More information about the three doctoral programmes of the School
of Information Sciences can be found at the School's website. Full-time
doctoral studies are expected to be completed in four years. Fixed-term
contracts can be drawn up for a period of one to four years; the length of
the contract depends on how far along in their studies the successful
candidates are and when they expect to graduate.

The personal study and supervision plans of doctoral students define the
terms of their dissertation work and are used to monitor their progress
annually. The personal study and supervision plan includes a detailed annual
working schedule.

In addition to the dissertation work, doctoral students teach or participate
in other tasks connected to their studies at the School. These duties must
equal to a maximum of five per cent of total working hours.

Successful candidates must have a higher university degree, be currently
pursuing a doctoral degree in one of the School?s doctoral programmes and
have their study and research plan approved, before writing the contract. If
the candidate does not have a right to pursue a doctoral degree at the
School of Information Sciences, the candidate must  apply it at the same
time when applying for the salaried doctoral student position.

Successful candidates are selected on the basis of how promising they are
academically. This is evaluated on the basis of their study and research
plans and previous academic success. The research plan is evaluated using
e.g. the following criteria: clarity of research questions, feasibility and
possible risks of the plan, knowledge of relevant literature and research
methods. In addition, the originality of the research and its compatibility
with SIS research profile is evaluated.

The salary will be based on the demand level chart for the teaching and
research staff of Finnish Universities. The preliminary level of demand is 2
- 4, depending on how far advanced the candidate's research is. The basic
salary will be supplemented with a performance increase based on the
employee's individual performance. The positions carry a four-month trial
period.

Please submit your application documents through the University's online
application system (link below) at 15:45 (Finnish time) on 30 April 2013,
and submit the following enclosures along with your application:

- Your curriculum vitae, including the date when you received your right to
pursue a doctoral degree or when you have applied for it. The curriculum
vitae must include the information of two referees if the Master?s degree
was not taken at the University of Tampere.
- Transcript of academic records (Master?s degree)
- A list of publications
- A study plan
- A research plan including a time schedule for your dissertation. More
detailed instructions on how to draft a research plan can be found at the
School?s website.
- An account of grants received for dissertation research and previous
employment at Finnish doctoral programs or other similar institutions.

Ola a todos! Este Caderno da Cultura Digital foi escrito em 2009. Ele faz
parte do Minist?rio da Educa??o e foi elaborado para auxiliar as pr?ticas
educativas nas escolas do Brasil. Veja um pequeno resumo:
"O Caderno Pedag?gico intitulado Cultura Digital ? parte da S?rie de
Cadernos vinculados ao Programa Mais Educa??o ? MEC e tem por objetivo
apresentar alguns exemplos e informa??es aos monitores, professores e
gestores da escola no sentido de oferecer possibilidades de tensionar uma
pr?tica escolar refratada pela Cultura Digital em todos os campos da vida,
seja do espa?o escolar ou n?o. Ele se encontra diretamente entrecruzado com
todos os Cadernos Pedag?gicos do Programa Mais Educa??o muito especialmente
por ser ele um tema contextual, o da cultura hoje em um cotidiano que ?
tamb?m digital.
O Caderno Cultura Digital ? destinado aos que se interessam em pensar a
escola integral nas suas m?ltiplas formas de ser e habitar a
contemporaneidade, na tentativa de problematizar formas de pensar as
comunidades hoje, na rela??o de todos para todos, considerando o
compartilhamento de experi?ncias, se expandindo do mais pr?ximo e enraizado
para o mais distante e virtual.
A internet, assim como a pr?pria Cultura Digital, por ser din?mica e se
comportar como um organismo vivo que renova seu tecido celular
constantemente, nos apresenta um desafio enorme na escrita deste Caderno
Pedag?gico e temos a certeza de que este documento se atualizar? nas
pr?ticas educativas de nossos leitores.
Esperamos contribuir n?o s? para o tensionamento de conceitos e
experi?ncias, mas tamb?m para a continuidade dos estudos, reflex?es e
pr?ticas atravessadas pela Cultura de uso Digital."

Dear all,

Digging out this old thread in case you're still interested in autocomplete
research. I just published a paper about a system to visualize autocomplete
of any request for all google domains, and a few observations about
produced data.

The paper : http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00805048
The tool : https://github.com/fabelier/Zeitgeist-Borders

It's all open-source, have fun ! :)

Don't hesitate to contact me and Sam (coauth, cc) if you want more info
about this project.

Best,
Antoine

Dear All,

I have a book titled Web Social Science which will be in the bookstores 
by July, published by SAGE .  I hope you might consider it for your 
teaching .

If you would like more information, please contact me.  Below is the 
book blurb and also a link to the page on the SAGE website.

Regards,
Rob

This book provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the theory and 
practice of Web Social Science. It demonstrates how the Web is being 
used to collect social research data, such as online surveys and 
interviews, as well as digital trace data from social media 
environments, such as Facebook and Twitter. It also illuminates how the 
advent of the Web has led to traditional social science concepts and 
approaches being combined with those from other scientific disciplines, 
leading to new insights into social, political and economic behaviour.

Situating social sciences in the Digital Age, this book gives you the 
opportunity to:

- Gain an understanding of the fundamental changes to society, politics 
and the economy that have resulted from the advent of the Web

- Learn about relevant data, tools and research methods for conducting 
research using web data

- Learn how how web data are providing new insights into long-standing 
social science research questions

- Understand how social science can facilitate an understanding of life 
in the Digital Age

Original and timely, this book will be of immense value for students and 
researchers throughout the social sciences. It will also be an important 
resource for students and researchers from information science, computer 
science and engineering who want to learn about how social scientists 
are thinking about and researching the Web.

Hello all,

Thanks Antoine, I definitely have to check that out.
I did a small comparative study using the Autocomplete tool by the 
Digital Methods Initiative. I wrote about it here:
http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/re-search/2012/10/01/googling-911-a-cross-cultural-comparison-of-suggestions-for-a-loaded-term/
(and in German here: http://berlinergazette.de/google-911-autocomplete/).

Best,

Ren?

You are not the API I used to know: On the challenges of studying social
media data


A set of #hashtagged tweets and @follow networks visualised to study crisis
response to a natural disaster. Facebook likes, shares, comments, and liked
comments tabulated over time for an activist page to study relationships
between content formats and engagement. LinkedIn profile completeness
percentages measured for a group of civil servants to study online
grooming. Social media data are employed increasingly for work in the arts
and social sciences, and are even becoming an expected research strategy
alongside the fieldwork, surveys and interviews when studying contemporary
states of affairs.


The 2013 Digital Methods Summer School would like to examine critically the
status of the findings, while at the same time reviewing and actively
employing the techniques. Is there increasingly a unified approach to the
study of social media data? Are there recipes and preferred tools (or
utensils)? Are we still allowed to hack the graph? The question of how to
study online data is increasingly a piece with how big data companies
provide them. More specifically, has polling APIs supplanted scraping as
the appropriate means of data collection? What are the effects of the
research ethics debate on social media research practice? There are also
the information graphics and data visualisations to consider. The preferred
outputs mark the return of the graph visualisation, if it ever went away.
What does the graph visualisation mean for the interpretation and
presentation of research findings? There is also the question of what is
actually being measured, apart from activity in social media. How to ground
the findings? In even more online data?


About "Digital Methods" as Concept


Digital methods is a term
<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/MoreIntro> employed
as a counter-point to virtual methods, which typically digitize existing
methods and port them onto the Web. Digital methods, contrariwise, seek to
learn from the methods built into the dominant devices online, and
repurpose them for social and cultural research. That is, the challenge is
to study both the info-web as well as the social web with the tools that
organize them. There is a general protocol to digital methods. At the
outset stock is taken of the natively digital objects that are available
(links, tags, threads, etc.) and how devices such as search engines make
use of them. Can the device techniques be repurposed, for example by
remixing the digital objects they take as inputs? Once findings are made
with online data, where to ground them? With more online data?


About the Summer School


The Digital Methods Summer School, founded in 2007 together with the
Digital Methods Initiative, is directed by Professor Richard Rogers, Chair
in New Media & Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. The Summer
School is one training opportunity provided by the Digital Methods
Initiative (DMI). DMI also has a Winter
School<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool>,
which includes a mini-conference, where papers are presented and responded
to. Winter School papers are often the result of Summer School projects.
The Summer School is coordinated by two PhD candidates in New Media at the
University of Amsterdam, or affiliates. This year the coordinators are
Michael Stevenson and Simeona Petkova both of the University of Amsterdam.
The Summer School has a technical staff as well as a design staff. The
Summer School also relies on a technical infrastructure of some nine
servers hosting tools and storing data. Participants bring their laptops,
learn method, undertake research projects, make reports, tools and graphics
and write them up on the Digital Methods wiki. The Summer School concludes
with final presentations. Often there are guests from non-governmental or
other organizations who present their issues. For instance, Women on
Waves<http://www.womenonwaves.org/> came
along during the 2010 and Fair Phone <http://www.fairphone.com/> to the
2012 Summer School. Digital Methods people are currently interning at
Greenpeace International and the Global Reporting
Initiative<https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx>
.

CALL FOR AWARD APPLICATIONS

Carl J. Couch Internet Research Award 2013

Sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research
http://www.cccsir.com/

The Carl Couch Center issues an international call for
student-authored papers to be considered for Carl J. Couch Internet
Research Award. The Couch Center welcomes both theoretical and
empirical papers that apply symbolic interactionist approaches to
internet studies.

According to basic symbolic interactionist premises, what we
understand as self, identity, relationship, and cultural formations
are constructed dialogically and interactively.  While the works of
George H. Mead, Georg Simmel, Erving Goffman and other leading
symbolic interactionists have been integral to the study of social
interaction, Carl Couch was among the first from this tradition to
suggest the importance of engaging in the study of mediated
interaction. It is critical that symbolic interactionists move boldly
forward, beyond Couch's initial suggestion, to study what has become
for many a dominant form of communication in their everyday life.

Whether we research identities, emotion, memory, family, work, career,
presentations of self, deception, love, loss or other areas, the
impact of mediated communication is felt by those interacting within
it.  As internet-related media continue to influence our everyday
interactions--not only with other people but also with technologies,
devices, algorithms, platform parameters, and so forth--it becomes
crucial for symbolic interactionists to attend to the role of these
mediating factors in the interaction process.

We encourage any paper that uses a symbolic interactionist approach in
internet studies. We also encourage papers that explore the interface
between deliberate social interaction and structured (or automated)
interactions sponsored or enacted by various technological features,
exploring not only how identities, relations, and social formations
are negotiated through social interactions, but also how these
interactions are mediated further through the use or capacities of
various technologies.

Papers will be evaluated based on the quality of (1) mastery of
symbolic interactionist approaches and concepts, (2) originality, (3)
organization, (4) presentation, and (5) advancement of knowledge.
Those contemplating entering should note that an interactionist
approach demands thoughtful analysis, and not mere description, of
social interactions. Evaluation will be administered by a Review
Committee of four:

Mark D. Johns, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa
Jennifer Dunn, Texas Tech University, Lubbock
Annette Markham, University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee
Lois Ann Scheidt, Indiana University, Bloomington

Competition is open to graduate or undergraduate students of all
disciplines. Works that are published or accepted for publication are
not eligible for award consideration. Entries should be in English and
not exceed 30 pages (approximately 7500 words) in length, including
references and appendices. Limit of one entry per student per year.

The top paper will receive Couch Award to be presented at the 2013
meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers (aoir.org) at the
University of Denver. The top paper will be awarded a certificate and
a cash prize of $300 US and the author will be invited to present
their work at a session of the AoIR conference, October 24-27, 2013 in
Denver, Colorado, USA.

Candidates should send a copy of their paper, with a 100-word
abstract, electronically to Mark Johns at mjohns at luther.edu
Application deadline is May 15, 2013. Notification of award will be
sent by June 15.

Artifacts: Proposal submission deadline June 1, 2013

The Collaborative Innovation Networks Conference (COINs) invites you to
submit your papers, workshop proposals, and artifacts to the 4th annual
international conference to be held in Santiago de Chile, hosted by
Pontificia Universidad Cat?lica de Chile from August 11 to August 13, 2013.
COINS13 brings together practitioners, researchers and students of the
emerging science of collaboration to share their work, learn from each
other, and get inspired through creative new ideas. Conference activities
will take place throughout the historic cities of Santiago and Valparaiso.
Attendees will be encouraged to engage with the community, meet local
entrepreneurs, artists, and designers, take a guided tour of the city, and
participate in hands-on workshops and interactive sessions.

Last year?s conference in Basel, Switzerland followed the success of the
previous two COINS Conferences hosted by the Savannah College of Art and
Design, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Center for Collective Intelligence and Wayne State University.

Where science, design, business and art meet, COINS13 looks at the emerging
forces behind the phenomena of open-source, creative, entrepreneurial and
social movements. Through interactive workshops, professional
presentations, and fascinating keynotes, COINS13 combines a wide range of
interdisciplinary fields such as social network analysis, group dynamics,
design and visualization, information systems, collective action and the
psychology and sociality of collaboration.

The best papers will be selected for a special issue of the International
Journal of Organisational Design and Engineering (IJODE;
http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=IJODE).

Program Chairs: Marisa Von B?low (PUC) & Cristobal Garcia (PUC)
Proceedings Chair: Peter Gloor (MIT)

Learning from the Swarm

The COINS13 conference committee seeks original paper submissions, creative
workshop ideas and concepts, unique artifacts or installations, and
engaging rapid-fire presentations celebrating the theme ?Learning from the
Swarm?. This year we are asking what is relevant with regard to the
innovative powers of creative and civic swarms, what are the observable
qualities of virtual collaboration and mobilization, and how does the quest
for global cooperation affect local networks. We invite both theoretical
and practice-based dialogues, case studies, scientific papers,
technological solutions, research studies, and interactive artifacts that
thoroughly reflect this year?s conference theme.

We invite researchers and designers to submit their latest scientific
results and experimental design solutions as full research papers, workshop
proposals, and artifact demonstrations in the following conference themes:


   -

   Networks & Collaboration in a Global Context: Optimization through
   Collaboration | Teamwork through virtually enhanced Collaboration |
   Measuring the performance of COINs | Patterns of swarm creativity
   -

   Group Dynamics, Social Movements & Net Activism: Collaborative Learning
   | Collaborative Leadership  | Design & visualization of interdisciplinary
   collaboration  | Virtual Teaming
   -

   Individual & Social Learning: The psychology and sociality of
   collaboration and collective action  | Social Behavior Modeling | Social
   Intelligence and Social Cognition
   -

   Tools and Methods: Social System Design and Architectures  | Dynamic
   Social Network Analysis  | Semantic Social Network Analysis | Actor Network
   Theory


The increase of online social network communication opens up unprecedented
opportunities to read the collective mind, revealing trends while they are
still being hatched by small groups of creative individuals. The Web has
become a mirror of the real world, allowing researchers, in fields of
social & behavioral science as well as design, to study and better
understand why some new ideas change our lives, while others never make it
from the drawing board of the innovator. Collaborative Innovation Networks,
or COINs, are cyberteams of self-motivated people with a collective vision,
enabled by technology to collaborate, challenge the status-quo and innovate
by sharing ideas, information, resources and work.  COINs are powered by
swarm creativity, wherein people work together in a structure that enables
a fluid creation and exchange of ideas. ?Coolhunting? ? the discovering,
analyzing, and measuring of trends and trendsetters as well as movers and
shakers ? puts COINs to productive use.

Below are the details and deadlines for the submission of Papers,
Workshops, Artifacts, and Pecha Kucha sessions.

For up to date information and additional details please visit our website:
www.coinschile.com

To engage with the broader COINs community, follow us on twitter

and scope of collaboration science and design including: bold research
ideas, conceptual developments, research investigations, methodological &
theoretical advances, design ideas, development experiences and more.
Submissions should report original research, reflections on theoretical
concerns, methodological advances, or other insights that contribute to our
understanding of all aspects of collaboration and help advance the state of
knowledge for the community. We encourage perspectives from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds.
Papers should be submitted in .doc or .pdf format.
Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work.
Submit papers by May 15, 2013 on EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13

Important Dates:
May 15, 2013 | Deadline for Paper Submissions
June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
paper
July 30, 2013 | Final copy for conference to publications chair
August 11-13 | Paper presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile

Workshops:
Proposals Submission Deadline May 15, 2013

Workshops will take place during the conference and will form part of the
main program. This year we are accepting proposals for both two-hour and
four-hour sessions.

Workshops are intended to provide a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing
experiences, fostering conversation and research communities, learning from
each other, exploring controversies, engaging in debate, envisioning future
directions and elaborating new methods and perspectives.

Workshop activities can range from open forum discussion, to demonstrations
or presentations with discussion, to collaborative activities such as
structured brainstorming, illustrative games or role-plays. Whatever the
focus or format, organizers will be required to schedule time for
conversation, reflection, discussion, and debate. Although we envision most
workshop activities to take place in one setting, let us know if your
workshop will venture out into other sites in Santiago.
Workshop proposals should include:

   - a summary of 500 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop
   - a longer detailed description of the workshop structure, activities
   and goals
   - the names, contact information and background of the organizer(s)
   - the maximum number of participants you'd like to attend the workshop
   - anticipated A/V requirements.


Please be as specific as possible as it helps us in selection, and in
helping you plan the workshop.

Workshop participants will be registered on a first come first served basis
by the conference committee, so the workshop organizers will not be able to
select their participants.

Accepted workshops will be publicized via the COINS13 website within a
month after organizers are notified. Workshop organizers will also be
encouraged to promote COINS13 and their workshops to potential attendees.
Submit proposals by May 15, 2013 to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13. Additionally, please
include your email address and other contact details.

Important Dates:
May 15, 2013 | Deadline for workshop Submissions
June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
paper
August 11-13 | Workshop at COINS13, Santiago, Chile



Artifacts:
Proposals Submission Deadline June 1, 2013

The artifacts category seeks to provide participants with an opportunity to
present work in a forum that facilitates open discussion and enables direct
interaction with conference attendees. A dedicated session will be held
during the conference to present the artifacts.

Artifacts can be anything from design sketchbooks, to reformed
organizational processes, to ads you?ve produced, to products you?ve made,
to short films, to conceptual objects, etc. We encourage submissions that
are thought provoking and visually engaging, and which cover
exploratory/speculative work, smaller projects, unusual representations of
ethnographic work, and so on. The form of the presented materials is open.
In keeping with the category title artifacts though, we encourage
submissions based on some material instantiation that can be exhibited at
the conference. Our hope is that it will be the ?thinginess? of the
artifacts that will, in part, prompt interaction with and between
conference attendees.

Submissions should include a single page describing or illustrating the
proposed submission (the one page inclusive of any and all figures and
references, where appropriate). This page should convey to reviewers what
the artifact being submitted is and how it is hoped to provoke discussion.
The page will also be included in the published conference proceedings.

Also included in the submissions should be a paragraph and image (no more
that 150 words) that can be displayed on the conference website.

Please submit these submission materials by June 1, 2013 to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13   Additionally, please
include your email address and other contact details.

Important Dates:
June 1, 2013 | Deadline for artifacts Submissions

June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
artifact. Accepted submissions will have their 150 word descriptions posted
on the COINS13 website. Descriptions (including images) of accepted
artifacts will be published in the COINS13 Proceedings.
July 30, 2013 | Final papers due
August 11-13 | artifacts presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile. The
artifact itself should be transported to Santiago for the conference.

New Social Media, New Social Science? Blurring the Boundaries: One Year On
http://www.socialsciencespace.com/2013/04/new-social-media-new-social-science-blurring-the-boundaries-one-year-on/ 

Last year, SAGE, the National Centre for Social Research and the Oxford Internet Institute set up a network for social media researchers with funding from the National Centre for Research Methods.  The aim of the network was to bring together researchers from across disciplines and sectors who have an interest in using social media within social research and we now have over 500 network members worldwide.

You can see an overview of the network goals and activities and what we've achieved so far here.

There will be several chances to hear what has been achieved in the first year: we are holding a one-day conference on April 16th 2013 in London. Places are free but are strictly limited: if you would like a place please contact Mithu Lucraft to request an application form.

We are also running a One Year On Digital Debate on 23rd April 2013 to give people a chance to participate in the discussions arising from the conference. If you are interested in this digital event then please register here.

Follow @NSMNSS to hear up-to-date news on these online activities.

You are not the API I used to know: On the challenges of studying social media data


A set of #hashtagged tweets and @follow networks visualised to study crisis response to a natural disaster. Facebook likes, shares, comments, and liked comments tabulated over time for an activist page to study relationships between content formats and engagement. LinkedIn profile completeness percentages measured for a group of civil servants to study online grooming. Social media data are employed increasingly for work in the arts and social sciences, and are even becoming an expected research strategy alongside the fieldwork, surveys and interviews when studying contemporary states of affairs.


The 2013 Digital Methods Summer School would like to examine critically the status of the findings, while at the same time reviewing and actively employing the techniques. Is there increasingly a unified approach to the study of social media data? Are there recipes and preferred tools (or utensils)? Are we still allowed to hack the graph? The question of how to study online data is increasingly a piece with how big data companies provide them. More specifically, has polling APIs supplanted scraping as the appropriate means of data collection? What are the effects of the research ethics debate on social media research practice? There are also the information graphics and data visualisations to consider. The preferred outputs mark the return of the graph visualisation, if it ever went away.
What does the graph visualisation mean for the interpretation and presentation of research findings? There is also the question of what is actually being measured, apart from activity in social media. How to ground the findings? In even more online data?


About "Digital Methods" as Concept


Digital methods is a term
<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/MoreIntro> employed as a counter-point to virtual methods, which typically digitize existing methods and port them onto the Web. Digital methods, contrariwise, seek to learn from the methods built into the dominant devices online, and repurpose them for social and cultural research. That is, the challenge is to study both the info-web as well as the social web with the tools that organize them. There is a general protocol to digital methods. At the outset stock is taken of the natively digital objects that are available (links, tags, threads, etc.) and how devices such as search engines make use of them. Can the device techniques be repurposed, for example by remixing the digital objects they take as inputs? Once findings are made with online data, where to ground them? With more online data?


About the Summer School


The Digital Methods Summer School, founded in 2007 together with the Digital Methods Initiative, is directed by Professor Richard Rogers, Chair in New Media & Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. The Summer School is one training opportunity provided by the Digital Methods Initiative (DMI). DMI also has a Winter School<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool>,
which includes a mini-conference, where papers are presented and responded to. Winter School papers are often the result of Summer School projects.
The Summer School is coordinated by two PhD candidates in New Media at the University of Amsterdam, or affiliates. This year the coordinators are Michael Stevenson and Simeona Petkova both of the University of Amsterdam.
The Summer School has a technical staff as well as a design staff. The Summer School also relies on a technical infrastructure of some nine servers hosting tools and storing data. Participants bring their laptops, learn method, undertake research projects, make reports, tools and graphics and write them up on the Digital Methods wiki. The Summer School concludes with final presentations. Often there are guests from non-governmental or other organizations who present their issues. For instance, Women on Waves<http://www.womenonwaves.org/> came along during the 2010 and Fair Phone <http://www.fairphone.com/> to the
2012 Summer School. Digital Methods people are currently interning at Greenpeace International and the Global Reporting Initiative<https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx>
.

Commercial games, especially Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing
Games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft and EverQuest are
very popular nowadays. These types of games not only have fantasy
interfaces and rich storylines, but they also give the players a lot of power
to control what they want to do in the game world. This freedom of choice allows
players to do what they want when they want, aligning well with
the constructivist paradigm of learning. This opens up a host of possibilities
for using these game approaches in education to potentially improve
learner?s learning experience and performance.

This special issue focuses on sharing experiences and innovations in theoretical
and conceptual issues related to the development of practical mobile and
internet-based educational games. The aim is to provide readers with
evidences and experiments that account for learners' experiences and
perceptions related to knowledge and concepts acquisition through
game approaches in various disciplines and domains.

Message-ID: <013e01ce31de$e5607e10$b0217a30$@hine@btinternet.com>

Thanks so much to everyone who sent me suggestions of mixed methods Internet
research in response to my recent query. I'm still working my way through
the responses in detail. It's been really enlightening to see the sheer
amount of methodological mixing going on in Internet studies and  clearly
there's something about the multiple affordances of digital data that
stimulate people to draw on multiple methodological traditions. I'm finding
it very interesting to think through these examples of mixing in research
according to the notion of "facet methodology" that I've just come across -
see Mason (2011). I know several other people were interested to know about
the outcomes of my query, so I've prepared a brief summary of the various
projects and resources I heard about. It's a bit long to send out whole to
this list, so I've put it here:  http://christinehine.wordpress.com/

Best wishes,

Information Systems and technology for 
Organizational Agility, Intelligence and Resilience
A book edited by Dr. Hakikur Rahman and Dr. Rui 
Dinis de Sousa, Centro Algoritmi, University of Minho, Portugal

To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com

(Call for the chapter:
http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/931)

Introduction
The contemporary global economy requires 
innovative organizations and employees with novel 
skills, attitudes, and intellectual agility. 
Organizations and individuals must be able to 
take advantage of scientific and technological 
developments to become more innovative and 
competitive by pursuing flexibility in 
communication and decision making, as well as 
knowledge sharing and collaboration, in a 
trustworthy and secure organizational and 
technological environment. In these aspects, 
information systems and information technology 
(IS/IT) play a central role as promoters of new 
initiatives to communicate, work, do business, 
relate, act, manage, and lead. Similarly, 
manifestations like e-/m-commerce, e-/m-markets, 
e-/m-business, e-/m-tourism, e-/m-governance, 
e-/m-learning, e-democracy, e-/m-collaboration, 
crowdsourcing, intermediation, and others have 
emerged in recent years, conveying IS/IT that 
influence the way individuals and organizations 
see themselves, others, and the possibilities for 
vibrant interaction. At the same time, Web 
technologies and IT applications such as decision 
support systems, workflow management systems, 
enterprise systems, value-chain management 
systems, and document and content management 
systems have allowed these systems to increase 
organizational productivity, bring the 
organization closer to its stakeholders, and 
create new forms of competition and 
inter-organizational collaboration. Foremost, a 
variety of theories, methods, best practices, and 
tools have been developed in different scientific 
areas to support the design and implementation of 
initiatives aimed in promoting organizational 
learning, organizational memory, and the 
transformation of organizational identity to 
improve organizational agility, intelligence, and resilience.

Overall Objective of the Book
The main contributor of this book is comprised of 
a group that carries out research on IS/IT 
through interdisciplinary research and 
development projects (such as transfer of 
knowledge, dissemination of knowledge, and 
various other research approaches including 
basic, transactional, and clinical research), as 
well as advanced training projects aiming to 
develop systematic and comprehensive strategies 
that promote overall organizational well-being. 
The main aim is to advise and support 
organizational agents who want ensure success in 
terms of financial, social, and environmental 
aspects as well as in the aspect of human 
development in a more sustainable way. The broad 
objective of this book will be to incorporate 
methods and technologies for the development of a 
sustained organization among the contemporary 
issues, such as increased globalization, economic 
crisis, short product life cycle, augmented 
competition, and amplified innovation. However, 
in specific, the scope of the book would like to 
include conceptual research, methodological 
aspects, empirical cases (using conventional 
instruments like survey, interview, literature 
review, case studies, and others), and especially 
success cases illustrating practices of the above mentioned instruments.

Target Audience
The target audience may incorporate academics, 
researchers, intermediaries, policy initiators, 
associations, subsidiaries, and individuals who 
would like to initiate a start-up, rejuvenate the 
existing enterprise, or collaborate with other 
partners for better competencies and value 
addition, not only in terms of finance, but also 
in respect to knowledge gain that, in the long 
run, assists in financial gain. In these aspects, 
this book will be a valuable asset to the small 
and medium entrepreneurs; associations dealing 
with small organizations; corporate business 
sectors; intermediaries; knowledge managers 
including academics, researchers, government, and 
non-government staffs; and policy initiators.

Call for papers ECREA conference

(Mis)understanding political participation


Munich (Germany), 11-12 October 2013. 

Organised by the ECREA?s Communication & Democracy, Gender & Communication sections. Supported by the Media and Communication sections of the German Communication (DGPuK) and Sociology Association (DGS) and YECREA.


It is commonly accepted that political participation and civic engagement are cornerstones of a healthy democracy. Going beyond established academic discourses about the decline of citizens? political participation in institutional politics, and the rise of alternative forms of political participation, this conference aims to explore the issues, the platforms, the actions, the locations, and the motivations of politically active citizens today.


Political participation is nowadays characterised by ambiguities: Despite the evidence of growing disenchantment with institutional politics, electoral turnouts in some countries are increasing; despite increased possibilities for participation through online media, these are often dismissed as ?clicktivism?; despite celebratory discourses on the uses of social media in the Arab spring, the Occupy movement, in the Pussy Riot case, the same-sex marriage debates in France and the UK and in recent LGBT+ protests, they were grounded and performed in particular physical spaces; despite their possibilities for challenging the mainstream, online media technologies are mostly profit-driven.

We need to discuss the opportunities and challenges that these conditions entail for the ways in which digitally-mediated social interactions, practices and environments shape everyday participation, engagement or protest, and to analyse their implications for politics, culture and society. This includes asking whether ?clicktivism? is eroding the physical or embodied participation constituting traditional offline activism, and if new ?digital divides? and political, social and cultural inequalities will result from mediated participation and engagement. Crucially, it also warrants critically re-assessing the relations and interplays between institutional and non-institutional politics, and traditional definitions of what is considered ?political?.

We invite paper and panel proposals from a wide range of disciplines (media and communication studies, cultural studies, gender studies, sociology, political sciences etc.) related to the central theme of the conference, including (but not limited to) the following topics:

?      Mediatisation of political participation and civic engagement


?      Media practices and mediation of political participation, engagement and protest

?      Relationships between national media systems and participation

?      NGOs, mainstream media and social media

?      Media representations of engagement, protest and new masculinities

?      Feminist protest and new media

?      Intersectionality and media

?      Gay and lesbian rights, the queer movement and the media

?      Issues of surveillance and data privacy

?      Digital divides, hierarchy and marginalisation in civic engagement

?      Historical accounts of mediatisation of participation and engagement

We specially invite empirical case studies (comparative and/or single-case studies). Panel and paper proposals from PhD students and early career scholars are also very welcome. We also encourage authors to submit policy papers, applied case studies or artistic reflections for a special poster session.


Extended abstracts should be no longer than 700 words, written in English and contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, methodology and results.


Panel proposals should consist of a rationale for the panel (max 400 words), abstracts for individual panel presenters (max 200 words each), name of panel chair/organiser, name and affiliations of participants.

All proposals should be submitted by May 15th, 2013 to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecreapepms2013.


Notifications of acceptance will be sent out after June 15th, 2013.

Subject: [Air-L] Sources for theory / theories: media re-reporting and
 national identity
Message-ID: <CD886FB7.5C9F1%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

One of my Masters students is examining how Norwegian newspapers re-report
Norwegian-related news in the U.S. and the U.K. - specifically, the recent
fun poked by U.S. news sources regarding "the firewood program," accounts of
Bogd?y prison island, and the nomination of the Kon-Tiki movie for an
academy award.  Our broad inquiry circles around (a) why are these sorts of
re-reports - including on occasion a positive spin on what was originally a
negative report - important components of news reporting - specifically with
a view towards (b) their function as part of a fostering and reinforcing a
sense of national identity?
We are looking broadly at Anderson's notion of national identity as an
imagined community - but we're hoping to find more recent analyses and
theoretical sources that would be helpful as well.

A specific wrinkle here is that while we can find plenty of good work on how
contemporary media serve to foster specific aspects of _individual_ identity
(e.g., using Goffman, Simmel, and/or others in conjunction with social
media) - we're trying to focus on a sense of collective or shared national
identity and how such media (re)reporting seems to be important in
contributing to and fostering such an identity.
There are further specific wrinkles affecting a sense of national identity,
including relatively recent independence (1905) that may also play relevant
roles in accounting for this form of reporting - and thereby suggest
specific sorts of similar research in other countries as well?

In all events, I hope this query is specific enough to spark specific
responses; if you have suggestions for us, please share these offlist -
though I will be more than happy to collect these and repost.

Many thanks in advance,
- charles

My doctoral research is about how security management professionals are
using their Personal Learning Environments for work-based learning and
professional development. Prior to individual interviews and focus groups, I
am doing observations in discussion groups such as LinkedIn.

I would appreciate hearing if you are aware of any observational research
that has been conducted in LinkedIn or similar environments. My work is
qualitative, but I am also interested in quantitative or mixed methods
studies. Thanks,

Publishing may be dirt cheap but any systematic/formal e.g. academic
publishing isn't free... So the problem is that while there is a necessary
and valuable shift from commercial publishing (and outrageous profiteering)
to open access online publishing there really aren't any good business
models yet to cover the (much less but not totally trivial) costs of the new
forms of academic publishing.  

If for whatever reason (and there are lots including the issues pointed to
here) one doesn't want to go to a pay for play model that leaves
advertising(???) or donations (???) or...

How long till someone marries up the PGP Web-of-Trust and LinkedIn and ISI
impact factors / JCR and some other social media data to vet conferences as
reputable or not?

Imagine cryptographically signing that you were at a conference and found it
viable as a real academic interaction - or not.  And being able to mark as
trusted/invalidating other people's evaluations of events.

And imagine how little time it would take for people to start trying to game
such a system.  ;-)

mmm?  It is worthwhile to distinguish "publishing" from "distribution".  

Distribution has gotten much cheaper.  
Publishing remains a highly labor intensive activity that requires significant expertise and organization to do well.

Dear colleagues,

After lurking on this list a while, it seems to me that members may be
interested in the journal Big Data, recently launched, of which I am
editor-in-chief.

The entirety of the first issue has been made freely available online at
http://online.liebertpub.com/toc/big/1/1

Peer reviewed papers will be published open access, under CC BY license,
with no author fees. (Many thanks danah boyd for her assistance and
advocacy in ensuring this).

The journal aims to be integrative over the contributing fields to big
data, including data science, software, visualization, policy?and
accessible to both practitioners and researchers in the field, from
industry, academia and government. As such it aims for a modern feel, and
is pursuing an innovative business model in order to facilitate the OA
publishing.

I welcome feedback and contribution from members of this list.

Submission details are available here:
http://www.liebertpub.com/manuscript/big-data/611/
Editorial board: http://www.liebertpub.com/editorialboard/big-data/611/

True, but software now handles a lot of the organizational issues related to
(particularly OA) publishing (we use OJS <http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs> ) and
varous forms of communication and information management tools handle quite
a lot of the "expertise" issues... (by for example, dramatically increasing
the range of human and other resources to which one has easy and low cost
access including for editing, reviewing, consulting with colleagues,
software support etc. 

 

It doesn't reduce the need for the expertise but it does make accessing and
using that expertise a lot more time/cost efficient (in publishing as in
almost every other area of human endeavour...But of course, the expertise
requirement that remains.

Dear all,

Thanks again for your advices.
I just finished gathering two datasets that would allow a first attempt in
quantitative analysis of online pornography : http://sexualitics.github.io/

No analysis nor visualisations yet, but they are on their way ! Please,
send me (or fork/pull) yours if any.

Don't hesitate to ask precision about the datasets or methodology used, i
would be glad to answer.

All best,
Antoine

I addressed that issue in my PhD thesis on "The Politics of YouTube:

CALL FOR PAPERS: GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE
Novelty / Theory, 26-28 September 2013, Hong Kong
"Research without theory: Questioning ingrained practices and the pursuit of novelty"

(please disseminate! || provisional deadline: 31 May 2013)

Institution: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU), Department of Applied Social Sciences (APSS), Hong Kong

Speakers: Prof. Mark Hobart (SOAS, London) & Dr. Robert Hassan (University of Melbourne).

The general theme of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University APSS Graduate School conference is "Research without theory: Questioning ingrained practices and the pursuit of novelty" (read more). We paired the two concepts of Novelty and Theory to challenge our sociological imagination and put our own research under scrutiny through some questions: why does it seem so easy and natural to talk about the contemporary in terms of novelty? Why do we think that the originality of our research proposal will be enough to grant it legitimacy? What are the risks of attuning our research to the current concerns of the moment, instead of setting our own theoretical agenda? How can we practice the new without theorizing it constantly? These (and more) questions are the core of a graduate students conference meant to encourage peer interaction, provide a chance for networking across disciplines and exchange insights in a conductive learning environment.

All graduate students in Hong Kong, as well as other local and international graduate students are invited to submit their paper proposals to the conference. Our preference goes to paper presentations, but we also accept posters in case you cannot attend the conference or you prefer to lurk in the shadows of the lunch break.

N/T2013 welcomes contributions from a wide range of disciplines willing to engage with the conference theme from any angle. Areas for possible contributions include, but are not restricted to:

- Anthropology
- Cultural studies
- Humanities
- Psychology
- Social work
- Sociology

...and beyond.

If you are not sure about the way in which your ideas would fit the conference or you want to put some people together and organize a panel, just drop us a line.

Submissions:
All submissions should include a 300-word abstract (in English) and personal details (institutional affiliation, academic qualification, and email address).

Unfortunately, we cannot offer any kind of funding for traveling, accommodation and other expenses, but we will do our best to suggest to you the cheapest options and organize some good meals.

Join us!

The N/T2013 team.

The Third Halmstad Summer School on Testing

Halmstad University, Halmstad, Sweden

June 3 - June 5, 2013

http://blog.accurate-programming.org/


Scope
========

Software testing accounts for a major part of software development cost 
and effort,
yet the current practice of software testing is often insufficiently 
structured and disciplined.
There have been various attempts in the past decades to bring more rigor 
and structure into this field,
resulting in several industrial-strength processes, techniques and tools 
for different levels of testing.
The 3rd Halmstad Summer School on Testing provides an overview of the 
state of the art in testing, including theory, industrial cases, tools 
and hands-on tutorials
by internationally-renowned researchers.

Tutorials
========

Test-Driven Software Development in Java Including Concurrency (Robert 
Cartwright, Rice)

Industrial-Strength Model-Based Testing and its Methodology (Wen-Ling 
Huang and Jan Peleska, Verified Systems and Bremen)

Property-based testing with QuickCheck (John Hughes, QuviQ and Chalmers)

Closing the V - by going from V to DEL (Tony Larsson, Halmstad)

Testing and Verifying Software Properties with ACL2 and ProofPad, and 
Dracula (Rex Page, Oklahoma)

Introduction to Model-Based Testing (Mohammad Mousavi, Halmstad)

Hands on ScalaCheck (Rickard Nilsson, Lund)

Accurate Programming Using ScalaCheck (Walid Taha, Halmstad)


Registration
==========


The registration deadline is May 1, 2013.

The registration fee is 1000 SEK (approx. 120 EUR) and covers lunches 
and coffee breaks.

To apply to the summer school, please send an email to 
Veronica.Gaspes at hh.se <mailto:Veronica.Gaspes at hh.se> with "Halmstad 
Summer School on Testing" in the title.


Venue
======

The summer school will be held on the campus of Halmstad University  in 
Halmstad, Sweden.
Halmstad is a popular summer destination located on the Swedish west coast.
Just a few minutes by bicycle or bus takes you from campus to city 
centre, sandy beaches or forested Galgberget Hill.
Trains take you directly to G?teborg in 75 minutes, to the 
Malm?-Copenhagen area in about 2 hours and to Stockholm in 4.5 hours.
There are also daily flights from Halmstad Airport to Stockholm.



Directions for getting to campus can be found here:


http://www.hh.se/english/abouttheuniversity/visitus.307_en.html


The campus map, with a link to a printable pdf version can be found here:


http://hh.se/english/discover/visitus/campusmap.1252_en.html


If you are flying in internationally it is generally easiest to fly into 
Copenhagen (CPH) airport (also known as Kastrup).
The best thing about flying into CPH is that you just buy a train ticket 
when you arrive at the airport and simply take a train from the airport 
directly to Halmstad.
The train leaves from the airport itself approximately once an hour on 
weekdays.
  We recommend that you check the time-table here:


http://www.sj.se/start/startpage/index.form?l=en


and allow one hour from touchdown to getting to the train station (just 
outside customs).

In Halmstad, everything is either in walking distance or a short taxi 
ride away.
Usually there are taxis at the station.
If there are none there is a phone that connects directly to the local 
taxi company.
For the eventuality that the phone is not working, it is good to have a 
cell phone handy.
The number for the taxi company is written on the phone.


Note that CPH is in Denmark (and not in Sweden).
So, if you need visas for European countries, make sure you get one that 
works for both.
If for some reason you cannot or do not want to use CPH, the next best 
international airport is in Gothenburg (GOT), locally known as Landvetter.
The tricky thing about using that airport is that you would first have 
to take a 45 minute shuttle from the airport to the Gothenburg train 
station, and then take the train to Halmstad.
That is one transfer and one wait.



Accommodation
=============

Here are some suggestions for the accommodation, with an indication of 
their price range, (obtained from booking.com <http://booking.com>) and 
their distance to the summer school venue:



Hotel Continental (~140-160 EUR / night, 1.5km)

Subject: [Air-L] Workshop: Participatory Design for Persons with Cognitive
 or Sensory Impairments @ Interact2013
Message-ID: <CADW2KPFWL0RB4w80YhGKSv-5qdMu7fi7cc5+xLXwQs9Tkf7Q9g@mail.gmail.com>

*

Are you interested in participatory design and do you work with users with
impairments? We organize a workshop on participatory design for persons
with cognitive or sensory
impairments<http://interact2013impairmentsworkshop.wordpress.com/>at
Interact
2013 <http://www.interact2013.org/> in Cape Town, South Africa. This
workshop will be held on Tuesday September 3rd.

Workshop on participatory design for users with impairments

Involving people with impairments in the design process is very
challenging, especially when impairments affect cognitive functions or
communication. People with such impairments may have substantial problems
with thought processes and communication, including understanding
abstractions, sequencing thoughts and actions, understanding symbols, and
interpreting social cues. Many participatory design techniques are based on
these processes and are therefore not usable, or need to be adjusted for
people with impairments.

Workshop aims

This workshop aims to exchange experiences with participatory design
techniques that were designed for, or adapted to people with impairments.
Since many of these techniques are highly focused on specific target
groups, a further aim is to extract general principles and to generate
guidelines for involving users with impairments in the design process.

Who should attend?

Researchers and designers who have been involved in one or more
design-oriented project(s) involving users with impairments are invited to
participate. After this workshop, a call for papers will be launched for a
special issue (on the topic of the workshop) of the journal CoDesign.

Hi all,


There is a great article based almost entirely on an analysis of Youtube 
comments by Bambi Schefflein and Graham Jones. I don't have the 
reference now (as I am working off line) but it is listed in my Annual 
Review of Anthropology on Ethnographic Approaches to Digital Media. It 
is a real gem even if not on trolls per se.

 A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013.    There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE.  Is this an example of 'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation.  Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site.

"Title-squatting"--I like it. The NYT article on predatory open access journals talked a bit about this phenomenon.

Call for participation

We invite advanced students and young researchers interested in researching online communities through social network analysis to participate in the international summer course, ?Social Network Analysis: Internet Research?. The course is organized by the Department of Sociology, the Laboratory for Internet Studies (LINIS<http://linis.hse.ru/>), and the Sociology of Education and Science Laboratory (SESL<http://slon.hse.ru/en>) of the National Research University - Higher School of Economics. English will serve as the course?s working language. The summer school will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia from August 15 to the 22, 2013.
This year will address how online communities can be empirically examined using social network analysis and network science. Connections between theory and application will be illustrated in conjunction with contemporary examples from internet-based social networks. The course will focus on research design, online data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization. The course will also review and compare the available software packages that are widely used to analyze online social networks, paying close attention to issues such as performance, user interface, and features.
The course has four components:
1.    Lectures that will provide background on the field and review both theory and methods;
2.    Hands-on computer laboratory sessions operating primarily within the R and Python environments. These labs will offer direct, technical skills in collecting, analyzing, and visualizing ?big data? from internet sources;
3.    Seminars that will focus on discussing research articles;
4.    Student project presentations that include a discussion of the research. Participants will receive feedback from both their peers and the instructors.
We encourage students and young researchers with backgrounds in social science (e.g., sociology, anthropology, political science, economics), computer science, and informatics to apply.  We welcome both Russian and international applicants.
Requirements for participation:
o    English fluency.
o    Computer literacy and knowledge of online social networks.
o    An elementary understanding of social network analysis.
o    Applicants with related research experience will receive preference.
There is no registration fee. Attendance is limited to 25 participants. Participants who successfully complete all course requirements and pass a cumulative exam will be eligible to receive five ECTS.
Accommodation: 16 students may get hostel-type accommodation paid by the School  (to be distributed on first  come, first served basis). Out-of-country participants should get entry visa. Invitations for visa will be provided by the School. Contact e-mail: sna.school2013 at gmail.com<mailto:sna.school2013 at gmail.com>.
In order to apply please complete the online application form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UrS6bM9mInrzevlQCpADXT9YNLzIdXmeJuUvJKffWgs/viewform> along with brief description of your research project (200-400 words). Deadline for application:  May 15, 2013. Final decisions: May 31, 2013.

They do not appear on Beall's List of Predatory Open-Access Publishers (yet).
http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ 
Beall's List does include a journal with the same name as one of the IROCS journals (International journal of computer science and Information security), but it is not the same one. 

They do seem to have many things in common with those that do appear on this list.

"Title-squatting"--I like it. The NYT article on predatory open access journals talked a bit about this phenomenon.

A scam? Absolutely. If you get that feeling from a 2-minute glance of their site, then your hunch is right.

In my opinion, never a need to pay-to-publish in an academic journal. There are tons of legitimate options out there in our field (all the usual suspects). And if you're craving a good open access journal, there's always First Monday, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Game Studies, International Journal of Internet Science, International Journal of Communication, etc. etc. etc. If your article is worth publishing, you shouldn't have to pay to do so!

A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013.? ? There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE.? Is this an example of 'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation.? Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site.

Daren,

You should know that the non-commercial open access journals also need some
form of financial support (a stable business model).  My understanding is
that various of these journals currently rely on various forms of donations
-- in some cases corporate, in others local universities (who have the
resources to provide this support) and other... But a lot of open access
journals are currently hitting a financial wall in that their source of
voluntary labour and non-recurrent contributions are drying up and in the
absence of appropriate funding models there are problems, at least on the
horizon.

Pay-to-publish (pay to play) is almost certainly not an appropriate way to
go for a variety of reasons, but nor IMHO is a situation wihere there are
publishing opportunities only for those with wealthy (and potentially
self-interested ?) benefactors.

Research grants in some cases now have provision for dissemination which
IMHO could/should be linked to OA publishing and most importantly some
provision needs to be developed to steer the funds that are currently going
to over-priced commercial "free" publishing journals towards "free"
publishing non-commercial OA journals. 

How to establish the relative value of individual journals in the midst of
what appears to be a major onslaught of bad money chasing good (as in this
instance) is something that will need to be addressed and quite quickly I
believe if scholarly/research publishing as we have known it up to now is to
survive. (And that of course, belies the question of whether such an
approach to research dissemination is the most useful one in the longer term
in any case, as a number of experiments currently underway are putting into
question.)

A scam? Absolutely. If you get that feeling from a 2-minute glance of their
site, then your hunch is right.

In my opinion, never a need to pay-to-publish in an academic journal. There
are tons of legitimate options out there in our field (all the usual
suspects). And if you're craving a good open access journal, there's always
First Monday, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Game Studies,
International Journal of Internet Science, International Journal of
Communication, etc. etc. etc. If your article is worth publishing, you
shouldn't have to pay to do so!

"Title-squatting"--I like it. The NYT article on predatory open access
journals talked a bit about this phenomenon.

A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie
apparently launching in 2013.    There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu
option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There
are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause,
including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want
it to appear being something produced by IEEE.  Is this an example of
'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit
sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this
generic CFP solicitation.  Of course, this is just my opinion based on a
2-minute skim of their site.

Subject: [Air-L] How Twitter may (or may not) influence political opinion
 formation - a survey for American Twitter users
Message-ID: <CAMcZodOu-xnvLXB=G0qdq6DAD8wgm3_ErJN=KZvuKWyYEZz0BA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I am a sociology student from Plymouth University in the UK. I am currently
in the middle of my third year undergraduate dissertation.

I want to find out how influential Twitter is in political opinion
formation, specifically during last years US presidential election (thus
why I'm looking for American Twitter users only.)

The survey is made up of 23 questions and is mainly multiple choice (with a
few boxes here and there) and should not take more than 5 minutes.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MRS2F5J

I will be very grateful to everyone who fills it out, as you will be
helping me with my dissertation.

Thank you!

Liam.

------- Annoucement of the publication of Vol. 11, No. 1 of IJDET (an EI journal)-----------
http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-distance-education-technologies/1078

We are glad to announce the publication of Vol. 11, No. 1 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI
journal). In this issue, FIVE papers are included:



TSI-Enhanced Pedagogical Agents to Engage Learners in Virtual Worlds (pages 1-13)
Steve Leung, Sandeep Virwaney, Fuhua Lin, AJ Armstrong, and Adien Dubbelboer
Building pedagogical applications in virtual worlds is a multi-disciplinary endeavor that involves learning theories, application
development framework, and mediated communication theories. This paper presents a project that integrates game-based learning,
multi-agent system architecture (MAS), and the theory of Transformed Social Interaction (TSI), the project implements a group of
engaging, affectionate and effective pedagogical agents equipped with abilities of self-repsentation, emotional states reasoning and
situational awareness. A prototype of a virtual quiz show, QuizMASter, has been implemented to realize these abilities, and will be
used to test for the effectiveness of the approach.

PACALL: Supporting Language Learning Using SenseCam (pages 14-30)
Bin Hou, Hiroaki Ogata, Toma Kunita, Mengmeng Li, and Noriko Uosaki
The authors' research defines a ubiquitous learning log (ULLO) as a digital record of what a learner has learned in the daily life
using ubiquitous technologies. In their previous works, the authors proposed a model named LORE (Log ? Organize ? Recall ?
Evaluate) to describe the learning process of ULLO and developed a system named SCROLL to implement this model. This paper focuses
on Log among 4 factors in LORE and proposed a passive way to log ULLOs. They use SenseCam to capture a learner's learning
activities and propose a system named PACALL to support reflection of what s/he has seen. This system filters bad photos that taken
by SenseCam and helps learner find learning content. The author use this system in language learning and help learners learn the
foreign name of objects around.

Research Trends with Cross Tabulation Search Engine (pages 31-44)
Chengjiu Yin, Sachio Hirokawa, Jane Yin-Kim Yau, Kiyota Hashimoto, Yoshiyuki Tabata, and Tetsuya Nakatoh
To help researchers in building a knowledge foundation of their research fields which could be a time-consuming process, the authors
have developed a Cross Tabulation Search Engine (CTSE). Its purpose is to assist researchers in 1) conducting research surveys, 2)
efficiently and effectively retrieving information (such as important researchers, research groups, keywords), and also 3) providing
analytical information relating to past and current research trends in a particular field. Their CTSE system employs data-processing
technologies and emphasizes the use of a "Learn by Searching" learning strategy to support students to analyze such research
trends. To show the effectiveness of CTSE, a pilot experiment has been conducted, where participants were assigned to do research
survey tasks and then answer a questionnaire regarding the effectiveness and usability of the system. The results showed that the
system has been helpful to students in conducting research surveys, and the research trend transitions that our system presented
were effective for producing research trend surveys. Moreover, the results showed that most students had favorable attitudes toward
the usage and usability of the system, and those students were satisfied in gaining more know ledge in a particular research field
in a short period.

Design and Implementation of an Online Auxiliary System for Correcting Japanese Composition  (pages 45-57)
Yuqin Liu, Guohai Jiang, Lanling Han, and Mingxing Lin
In language learning, error correction information given by teachers for student compositions is of great value in both teaching and
learning. However, in traditional paper-based error correction mode, error correction information is easily lost and cannot be fed
back to students systematically. The aim of this research is to provide maximum feedback related to systematic correction for
students and teachers so that there can be targeted learning and teaching. This paper describes a web-based auxiliary error
correcting system for Japanese writing that compares compositions before and after error correction and provides statistics related
to error type, error frequency, and error variation. The system was evaluated in the Dalian University of Technology and the
experiment proved that teachers and students benefit from this system.

Technical Feasibility of a Mobile Context-Aware (Social) Learning Schedule Framework (pages 58-73)
Jane Y. K. Yau, and Mike Joy
The purpose of this paper is to show the technical feasibility of implementing their mobile context-aware learning schedule (mCALS)
framework as a software application on a mobile device using current technologies, prior to its actual implementation. This process
draws a set of compatible mobile and context-aware technologies at present and can be used as a reference point for implementing
generic mobile context-aware applications. The authors' mCALS framework retrieves the learner's location and available time
contexts via the built-in learning schedule (i.e., electronic organizer) on a mobile device. These contexts together with the
learner's learning styles and knowledge level (on a selected topic) are used as the basis for the software application to suggest
learning materials that are appropriate for the learner, at the time of usage. This retrieval approach eliminates the use of
context-aware technologies and the need to directly request the user to enter context information at the time of usage. The authors
develop a fully functional prototype of this framework for learners to plan their individual as well as social learning activities
amongst one another to make their individual learning processes collaborative and as a way to enhance individual and social learning
experiences.

The Emerging Learning Design 2013 Conference is pleased to announce the
title and abstract of our Keynote Presentation by Dr. Christopher Hoadley
(see below).  *
Registration is currently open and can be found at
http://eld.montclair.edu/registration/

The conference presentations are still being confirmed but the current
schedule can be found at http://eld.montclair.edu/schedule/

Keynote
The Death Of Content: Why Universities and Schools are (and aren?t) being
replaced by the Internet
In this talk, I argue that the current coin of the realm in
academia?content?is dying and that universities need to radically rethink
their role in the world. MOOCs, homeschooling, and the shadow education
system all are evidence that the 20th century role of schools is
decreasingly relevant. But does this mean that schools will become
obsolete? I argue that schools face a choice: use technology to enhance
their current functions but hasten their demise, or use technology to
transform themselves and capitalize on 17th century strengths to be a
cornerstone of the 21st century knowledge economy. I offer some ideas on
how to reconceptualize the notion of ?schools? based on the latest research
in learning and on ancient ideas about how to teach.

Dr. Chris Hoadley is associate professor in the Educational Communication
and Technology Program and the Program in Digital Media Design for
Learning. He has over 35 years of experience in designing, building, and
studying ways for computers to enhance collaboration and learning.
Currently his research focuses on collaborative technologies and computer
support for cooperative learning (CSCL). Hoadley is the director of
dolcelab, the Laboratory for Design Of Learning, Collaboration &
Experience. He is an affiliate scholar for the National Academy of
Engineering?s Center for the Advancement of Scholarship in Engineering
Education (CASEE) and was awarded a Fulbright for 2008-2009 in the South
Asia Regional program to study educational technologies for sustainability
and empowerment in rural Himalayan villages. Other interests include
research on and through design, systems for supporting social capital and
distributed intelligence, the role of informatics and digital libraries in
education, and science and engineering education. Hoadley previously
chaired the American Educational Research Association?s Special Interest
Group for Education in Science and Technology (now SIG: Learning Sciences),
and served as the first president of the International Society for the
Learning Sciences. Hoadley earned his baccalaureate in cognitive science
from MIT, and a masters in computer science and doctorate in education from
UC Berkeley. He previously taught at Stanford University, Mills College,
and Penn State University in education, computer science, and information
sciences.

Hi there,

Does anyone have a way to search for a particular post on Facebook? I've
tried a few ways, with no success...

Thanks!

This is one of the main reasons Facebook is for the here-and-now and not
much else. Historical data is quite useful to the company, but unsearchable
and largely inaccessible to everyone else.

If you know what page it's on, you can scroll down and let the page fill
with posts (hours worth? Days worth? Years worth? Scroll farther back than
you expect it to appear), then search on the page (CNTRL-F).

If you know it's within your data (your posts? Your page), you might still
be able to export everything and search that way?

Message-ID: <CAFKgRuoGCEDXSqcfMQ92gSLPiLE--jf=kf_+mFW-Ffib4Z0CPA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi~,

I am looking for current research on collective intelligence and online
collaboration including wikipedia, peer-production, and open innovation. I
did a research on this issue about 3-4 years ago. Those books by Axel
Bruns(2008), Yochai Benkler(2006), Charles Leadbeater(2008), and Tapscott &
Williams(2006) was very helpful at that time.

Please let me know any current books or papers on this subject.

Many thanks in advance.

Have you looked into HootSuite already? It can create streams based on searches of public FB posts -- max 3 terms, basic Boolean operators. Not sure about its capacity for historical searches or exporting data, though.

The search function of the Facebook Graph API has a two week rolling 
window, I believe. Double Twitter's, but not helpful for historical 
searches. However, if you know the wall your desired post is on, you can 
pull posts all the way back to the beginning with no time limit as long 
as you have access to the account you wish to pull from (so it either 
has to be public or you have to be friends with the 
person/organization). ~DEEN

Message-ID: <CAKSgqcpBHV+37w4efhyhn6rUR80OoX-CRr-3wtJXP_LurN=z0g@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,



I am a social psychologist from E?tv?s University, Budapest, Hungary, and
together with my colleague, Anna Kende, we are planning to submit a special
issue proposal to the European Journal of Social Psychology. We hope to see
a collection of articles which challenge some of the basic concepts of
social psychology, especially in connection to groups, intergroup
relations, prejudice, identity, categorisation, collective action, and
reflect the relevance of paying attention to social media,  Facebook,
Twitter, etc. If you are interested in publishing in this issue, please
send me a short summary about your research in order to mention it in our
proposal (until 21st of April).



Please feel free to contact me, if you have any further questions!

Dear All

I am planning to design an intensive course (internet for social research)
that can help graduate students in their research work. What I really
wanted to address is :: .


Identifying gurus in the field ( with some kind of profiling )

Identification of key 'knowledge tribes'

Identification of most influential readings

Some tools to visually map agreements/
debates/ methodological  preferences/ ( examples?)

Parallel streams of research

I found this forum/place as a very helpful resource . Thanks all !

Kind Regards,

Muhammad Babur

Subject: [Air-L] Digital Business Discourse - Call for Chapter Proposals
Message-ID: <CAOZdbQZMTtfvDBxpO5oPLy1+opg4RUXLhG6m6aue2tLCHX=kgA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Colleagues,

I invite chapter proposals for a volume entitled Digital Business
Discourse, to be published by Palgrave in the series *Palgrave Studies in
Professional and Organizational Discourse*.

*Digital Business Discourse*

Proposal submission deadline* 26 May 2013*

address: *dbd at darics.co.uk**
*
Recent scholarship on business discourse either only scarcely registers
computer-mediated discourse, or struggles to meaningfully combine the
findings of the scholarship of organizational studies and
linguistic/ computer-mediated discourse studies. The proposed volume
of *Digital
Business Discourse* is aimed to fill this gap by bringing together research
addressing the interactional practices enabled by the various mediated
communication modes currently used in the professional workplace or virtual
work teams. The main aim of the volume is to bring together research on
computer-mediated or digital business discourse, specifically studies that
include language or discourse-focussed analysis of naturally occurring
digital business interactions. The manuscripts sought are 7,000-9,000 words
long, containing original, previously unpublished research.

For further details please download the Call for Chapter
Proposals<http://erika.darics.co/download/digital_business_discourse_call.pdf>
.

Looking forward to the interesting chapter ideas!

Hi all,

I really appreciate the responses and suggestions I've head back about my
inquiry about finding a facebook post.

To clarify: I'm not looking for a personal post, I'm looking for a specific
post on a specifically available page.

Graph search may be helpful, but I don't have access to it yet. An API
query may be helpful, but I don't have time to set one up. I went back to
the page and looked at all of the posts from the date in question, and I
didn't see the post that I'm looking for. Knowing that wall displays are
sometimes incomplete and wondering if the display varies, I looked at that
date on that page a second time and still didn't see the post. I've tried
to look through exterior search engines, to no avail. I've also tried the
hootsuite app, but not the desktop version. I wonder if the post has been
removed from the page?

Thanks,
Casey

Subject: [Air-L] New book by Andrew McStay
Message-ID: <CAEVZ2O1Kz-QT2-+LvxTz17jOusrQuQSxt0WcSys3jXHnLh_tKA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello AOIR-folk,

I have a new book out with Routledge titled "Creativity and
Advertising: Affect,
Events and Process?. This is somewhat different to my past forays into
digital advertising and privacy as it focuses on the centrality of
creativity to advertising, and the ways in which it ?miraculates? it. The
blurb describes it thus:

?Creativity and Advertising develops novel ways to theorise advertising and
creativity. Arguing that combinatory accounts of advertising based on
representation, textualism and reductionism are of limited value, Andrew
McStay suggests that advertising and creativity are better recognised in
terms of the ?event?. Drawing on a diverse set of philosophical influences
including Scotus, Spinoza, Vico, Kant, Schiller, James, Dewey,
Schopenhauer, Whitehead, Bataille, Heidegger and Deleuze, the book posits a
sensational, process-based, transgressive, lived and embodied approach to
thinking about media, aesthetics, creativity and our interaction with
advertising.

Elaborating an affective account of creativity, McStay assesses creative
advertising from Coke, Evian, Google, Sony, Uniqlo and Volkswagen among
others, and articulates the ways in which award-winning creative
advertising may increasingly be read in terms of co-production,
playfulness, ecological conceptions of media, improvisation, and immersion
in fields and processes of corporeal affect.

Philosophically wide-ranging yet grounded in robust understanding of
industry practices, the book will also be of use to scholars with an
interest in aesthetics, art, design, media, performance, philosophy and
those with a general interest in creativity.?

If your interest is piqued, the link to the publisher's page is:
http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415519557/

Do also drop me a line at mcstay at bangor.ac.uk if you are looking at similar
sorts of topics, interested in collaborating or would like me to come and
give a talk :)

All best,

Andy

 meeting--June, Seattle
Message-ID: <397706A958B22849BDBFDD9248B1F68F195E8634@UWIT-MBX05.exchange.washington.edu>

>From a colleague, David McDonald:



Call for Participation

2013 Social Computational Systems (SoCS) Community Meeting June 28-29, 2013 Seattle, Washington





The Social Computational Systems (SoCS) program, funded and managed by the National Science Foundation, was called out as a model Social Computing program in the January 2013 PCAST Report "Designing a Digital Future: Federally Funded Research and Development in Networking and Information Technology". Given this recent attention, it is important to identify key attributes that serve to make research programs successful and valuable. Further, the attention provides the opportunity to consider future research trajectories in Social Computing to begin informing the trajectory of any potential follow-on programs.



The SoCS Community Meeting will be part of the 2013 SoCS PI Meeting to be held June 28-29 in Seattle, Washington. The goal of the Community Meeting is to spur conversations about what has made SoCS successful and what might serve to make future programs intellectually challenging and interesting to the growing research community.





Individuals who would like to participate in the 2013 SoCS Community Meeting should submit a 4 page position paper on one of the two following topics:



1. The Best of Social Computing Research - Position papers in this topic should consider 1-3 outstanding research contributions that should be promoted as exemplary research contributions to Social Computing (broadly construed). The position paper should describe which technologes, methods, features, attributes, insights, or measures contribute to each papers status as a "best" in Social Computing.



2. Future Challenges for Social Computing Research - Position papers addressing this topic will focus on describing 1-3 research challenges that cannot be solved today, but which, if studied and solved, would drive the area of Social Computing to make critical advances to Computing and at least one other research discipline (e.g., psychology, sociology, political science, behavioral economics, social networks, cultural studies, communications, organization science, etc.). For each challenge the position paper should outline what would likely need to be provided as infrastructure, what types of research collaborations would be necessary, and how the broader impacts of the challenge could be realized.





Position papers should be submitted in email as PDF attachments to <socs.meeting.2013 at gmail.com<mailto:socs.meeting.2013 at gmail.com>> by MONDAY MAY 6, 2013. Participation will be competitive based on review of the position papers. We anticipate extending between 12 and 20 invitations to attend. Invited attendees will be provided travel support that should cover the majority of their expenses to attend the meeting.

Dear All,

I apologize. When I sent my initial email about these openings last week, I did not realize that our Chronicle ad was so close to expiring. The positions remain open and applications are still being accepted.

Here is a link to the posting for both jobs on the UT Dallas website: http://provost.utdallas.edu/facultyjobs/

and initiatives as e.g. the Regions of Climate Actions (R20). SAME 2013 devotes to the challenge, how 
information management and systems can support sustainable communities in their regional settings. 
This workshop focuses on the development of a research agenda around the wider topic of how smart 
media and automated systems can support the larger context of sustainability for communities with 
the help of information systems, social web technologies, smart media, and automated systems. The 
workshop defines a research agenda within this particular context, and especially devotes to the 
investigation of opened research issues how ubiquitous and pervasive computation can be utilized to 
create sustainable communities. Energy conservation and saving are one of the key-words SAME 2013 
will devote its focus: sustainable cities ? sustainable community ? sustainable energy ? sustainable 
culture supported by smart information systems, smart media, and fully automated systems. Smart 
electronics and infrastructure will be one major component in creating a green city environment. 
Within the scope of this workshop, the goal is to investigate smart technologies, policies, and projects 
that are devoting to the issue of sustainable communities to create a better living experience.

 #memorystudieslive

University of Glasgow, Wednesday 17th April 2013, 9am-5.50pm BST


Does promiscuous media make for promiscuous memory? Even the sciences-of-the-mind increasingly search for cognition ? the mental process of awareness, perception, remembering ? outside of the head, extended and distributed across digital/social worlds. Memory is breaking out of the archive, the organization, the institution, increasingly diffused across brains, bodies, and personal and public lives. Has the digital leached away scarcity, trust, obligation, and much of memory?s former faithful companions? ?Memory? today seems different, strange, but which has also acquired (paradoxically) new force and new uncertainties.
Is connectivity irresistible? Is memory lost to the machine? Is the archive broken?
Six leading experts in the fields of media archaeology, media studies and memory studies assess the emergent forces of remembering and forgetting in the new media ecology:
Wolfgang Ernst, Humboldt University, Berlin.
Jussi Parikka, Winchester School of Art
Wulf Kansteiner, SUNY, Binghamton
Jos? van Dijck, University of Amsterdam
Anna Reading, King's College London
William Merrin, Swansea University

Call for Papers (Special Issue) - Deadline: 15.05.2013

Transformation of Citizenship and Governance - Asia Focus: The
Challenges of Social and Mobile Media
 Guest
 Editors: Marko M. Skoric (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore),
 Nojin Kwak (University of Michigan, USA), Ines Mergel (Maxwell School 
of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University), and Peter 
Parycek (Danube University Krems, Austria)
 The proliferation of 
social media and mobile phones over the last decade has spurred 
significant interest in their civic and political implications not only 
within the scholarly community, but also among journalists, 
practitioners, activists, policy-makers, and ordinary citizens. While 
the role of new media platforms in facilitating macro-level political 
changes has generally attracted most attention, these new communication 
tools are also actively utilized in more traditional civic and political
 processes, including community initiatives and electoral campaigns. 
Also important is people?s everyday use of new technologies, which 
research has uncovered as providing an opportunity to encounter public 
affairs news and discourse, enhance understanding of issues, and get 
involved in civic and political activities. Further to this, social and 
mobile media platforms have created new channels and means for citizens 
to interact with governments and other political institutions, monitor 
their functioning, and more actively participate in policy-making 
processes. There is little doubt that the emerging social and mobile 
media practices, including content generation, collaboration, and 
network organization, are changing our understanding of governance and 
politics.
 While the above changes are already widely debated in 
mature, developed Western democracies, there is an even greater need to 
address them in the context of rapidly developing Asian societies. 
Although countries in Asia vary greatly in terms of the levels of 
economic and political development, quality of information and 
communication infrastructure, as well as their cultural, political and 
religious traditions, the arrival of networked new media platforms has 
lead to some similar socio-political shifts. Those include an increasing
 diversity of voices in the public sphere, greater visibility of 
political discourse, increased demands for transparency and 
accountability, and a significantly improved capacity for decentralized 
civic and political action.
 This special issue is aimed at 
showcasing innovative scholarly works examining various subjects 
concerning the role of social media, mobile phones, and other new 
technologies in the formation of democratic citizenship and good 
governance in Asia. We seek studies that address relevant topics in a 
particular Asian country, and also welcome comparative research on Asian
 countries or Asian and non-Asian countries. A special section in the 
journal will cover those Asian cases, while we also encourage to submit 
authors covering the issues topic with a non-Asian focus to submit their
 work for a second section.
 The authors are encouraged to explore diverse topics, and possible
areas include (but are not limited to):
 Use of social media, mobile phones, and other new communication
technologies in electionsUse of social and mobile media by civic and
grassroots groupsInfluence of new media on citizen choices,
participation, and knowledgePatterns of new media use and civic and
political consequencesSocial media to engage citizens; smart & mobile
democracy Political elites? use of social and mobile mediaSustainability
of e-participation Networks vs. traditional party-structures ICTs and
their use for governmental transformationOpen data initiatives

ECREA Digital Culture and Communication

Call for Papers ? Digital Culture: Promises and Discomforts

EXTENDED DEADLINE: May, 15

The ongoing mediatisation process is subject to social transformations 
as well as technical innovation processes and creative practices. We 
endorse digital technologies with the promises of a better way of 
life, solving our problems of managing the world?s complexity, 
allowing better participatory policies and helping us in our daily 
life. At the same time, however, we are confronted with the 
fundamental problems of technological structures, such as the problems 
of Internet surveillance, control and the unequal distribution of 
power on the Web. Looking at digital cultures as a driving force of 
social change, we find ourselves confronted with a variety of 
contradictory images of digital culture and its possible futures.

In this workshop we want to critically discuss the promises and 
discomforts of digital culture taking into account the tensions raised 
by different material practices, understandings and social orders 
around the role of digital media in performing social change. Special 
focus lies on the three aspects of Digital Culture:

(1) Digital imaginations and narratives
The images of future are drawn in tecno-scapes, like in 
science-fiction films, artificial intelligence designs, virtual worlds 
or metaverses. What kinds of individuals, societies and environments 
are imagined through the growing pervasiveness of Digital Culture into 
our lives? How digital imaginaries shape our experience and relate to 
our ways of narrating ourselves and our creative practices? What are 
the role of innovation, creative industries and urbanlabs in the 
design of the future and in the different kinds of social 
intervention? How digital imagination is performing new narrative 
forms as well as transforming knowledge production and sharing?

(2) Digital Neighbourhoods and Citizenship
Among the existing networked digital technologies it is smartphones 
and tablet computers, which are becoming increasingly popular at an 
extraordinary pace. These devices not only make digital media 
applications truly ubiquitous but also create an abundance of digital 
location-sensitive information, which saturates local places, social 
relations, and the perception and organisation of neighbourhoods. The 
concept of space turns into a mash-up of  material and digital places, 
creating new forms of the social while at the same time renegotiating 
the cultural and political logics of local/global or private/public. 
How does the use of digital media trigger new social phenomena, such 
as altered forms and modes of communication, collaboration, 
consumption, infrastructure, mobility or public service?

(3) Digital Engagement and Social Change
Digital engagement manifests itself in a broad range of digital 
practices. People discursively engage through and with digital media 
and thus dissolve spatial, temporal and social boundaries. Especially 
a few popular commercial social networks, like Facebook and Twitter, 
are presumed to play a crucial role in the process of social change by 
means of interaction and connectivity. On a political dimension, 
citizens and activists voice their opinions, discuss political issues, 
organize and mobilize for protest in new or alternative public 
spheres. However, it remains unclear, whether and in which 
differentiations digital media engagement affects established power 
relations and thus promotes social change. Which diverse forms of 
political engagement unfold in digital media environments? How can 
underlying technological and power structures of media be rendered 
visible and to what extent do they affect the possibilities and 
boundaries of digital engagement?

We welcome papers picking up any of the described issues and topics 
and we will also consider contributions related with digital forms of 
social intervention, art projects or urbanlabs proposals. Extended 
abstracts should be no longer than 700 words, written in English and 
contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, 
methodology and results (if applicable). Participants may submit more 
than one proposal, but only one paper by the same first author might 
be accepted. Panel and paper proposals from PhD students and early 
career scholars are particularly welcome. All proposals should be 
submitted by May 15, 2013 to ecreadigitalculture at gmail.com. 
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out after June 30, 2013.

Keynote Speakers

We are delighted to announce the following two keynote speakers:

Annette Markham (Ume? University, Sweden) ? topic to be announced
Jakob Svensson (Karlstad University, Sweden) will give a lecture on 
?New Media for Development?

The workshop will take place at the Department of Media Studies of the 
University of Bonn, Germany
Poppelsdorfer Allee 47, 53115, Bonn.

The conference date is October 2nd ? 5th, 2013.

This HICSS minitrack has been ongoing since 2003 under various titles. Papers address the interrelationship between social media and communities in all aspects of our (online and offline) lives.  We call for papers that address research, theory, practice, and/or policy around our new interlinkages via social media in support of communities of practice, inquiry, and interest  for business, political, social, learning, and gaming initiatives and outcomes.
 
Until this year, this minitrack has been in the Internet and Digital Economy Track. Due to its overwhelming success, the minitrack has become a founding part of the new Track: Digital and Social Media. In previous years, the minitrack has been among the largest at the conference, and ?best papers? from the minitrack have often received the ?Best Paper in Track? awards.
 
We call for papers that address issues of online communities of practice, inquiry and interest created in the interest of political, educational, business, social and/or gaming pursuits, and with attention to how online community building and management contribute to success in these endeavors. Papers are welcomed that address wholly online communities, as well as those that address the interplay between online and offline means of interaction; the use of single media, as well as those that address the way different media support community practice; and community, as well as crowd-based collectives online.
 
Examples of possible interdisciplinary topics of interest in these contexts include, but are not limited to the following:
 
Social, political and/or economic impact of social media
Crowds and Communities as sociological phenomenon in the digital economy
Community development and community informatics
Design, development, and user studies of social media
Design of online crowds and/or communities of practice, inquiry or interest
Online learning communities: structures, implementations, and practices
Serious leisure online
Organizational behavior of communities
Behavior in online gaming communities
Social network studies and analyses of online crowds and communities
Mobile applications, services and use for and by online communities
Case studies and topologies of online communities
Case studies and analyses of the rise and fall of social network sites and online communities
Theoretical models of online crowds and communities, social media use, etc.
Models and cases of synergies and/or conflicts between offline and online worlds
Critical perspectives on social media and local and/or virtual community
Research methods for the study of social networking and community

Social Media & Learning
This minitrack calls for papers that address leading edge use of technology, research methods and system design to analyze and support learning in social networks. The ability to generate and maintain rich networked connections through social media, social networking, crowdsourcing, cloud technology, and social computing has a profound impact on the way we solve problems, learn, innovate and develop our identities, and the value this creates for individuals and groups. This minitrack will bring together state of the art research that furthers social theories of networking and learning, such as networked learning, collaborative learning, viral learning, and social capital, in combination with for example social and learning analytics and social network analysis to help visualize, develop and facilitate formal, non-formal and informal networking and learning settings.
 
We call for papers that use, analyze and/or develop technology and online tools to examine social networking and learning phenomena through social media. We specifically welcome papers that address new and exciting areas of research in the networking and learning potential of social media or the potential value social media creates for connectivity, development, and growth. Some of this work might be driven by social media and networking research in relation to education, organizations, gaming, simulation and 3d worlds. We encourage papers that address learning and value creation through social media in any setting: education, work, daily life, home, and ?serious leisure?. Appropriate social media and learning behavior ranges from same-time, same-place to anytime, anywhere that increases interactions among participants via social media in formal and informal learning settings and mixtures thereof, and may include collectives from learning crowds to communities, teams and networks of practice.
 
We envision that papers will:
?      examine the foundations for social media and learning in online networks, crowds and communities;
?      analyze and/or support the role of social media and networks in learning;
?      address value creation in social media and online communities and networks;
?      develop methods for analyzing social media and learning;
?      implement social network analysis to reflect social media, networking and learning processes;
?      address awareness and visualization of social networks and communities;
?      develop metrics for characterizing and following social networking and learning trends;
?      implement and develop tools for automated data capture and data analytics on social networking and learning;
?      discuss empirical trends in social networking and learning on and through the Internet, including issues and opportunities relating to information literacy, literacy and new media, ubiquitous learning, viral learning and entrepreneurial learning;
?      examine economic models, trends and markets for social media and learning, including open source and open access and viral models;
?      examine the design and facilitation of social media and learning in online networks, crowds and communities;
?      show development and use of new social media tools, devices (laptops, mobiles, OLPC ), and spaces and their networking and value creation potential; or
?      discuss ethical issues relating to learning online, including issues relating to data capture, analysis and display, and learning about controversial subjects or anti-social activities.
 
 
This minitrack ? SOCIAL MEDIA & LEARNING -- is part of the DIGITAL & SOCIAL MEDIA track at HICSS.

Call for Papers



*Tensions of Rhetorics and Realities in Critical
Diversities*<https://tensionsrhetoricsrealities.wordpress.com/call-for-papers/>



Edited by

Alexa Athelstan, Nichole Edwards, Mercedes P?ll & Sanaz Raji

(University of Leeds)



We warmly invite your contributions to our edited collection entitled *Tensions
of Rhetorics and Realities. *The book will be submitted to the Routledgeseries
* Advances in Critical Diversities *(eds. Yvette Taylor and Sally Hines).



This collection orientates itself towards an understanding of diversity as
an often misappropriated concept used to obscure and maintain existing
inequalities rather than to further their deconstruction. Consequently, the
collection intends to (re-)emphasize the importance of looking at
diversities not from a one-dimensional level, but with consideration of the
multiple positioned and intersecting viewpoints and contexts that shape the
diversity of human existence ? thereby allowing for a constructive and *
critical* engagement with related issues.



Encouraging a strongly intersectional and interdisciplinary approach, *Tensions
of Rhetorics and Realities* seeks to investigate and theorize the spaces of
conflict, discrepancy, contradiction or difficulty that can arise when
dealing with discourses and practices, policies and lived experiences,
theories and methodologies, individuals or communities. Incompatibilities
or infeasibilities within those domains can easily lead to tensions or
idiosyncrasies. A particular focus on *rhetorics* and
*realities*highlights the critically of the ways in which diversity
issues are being
framed, understood and dealt with in various settings and by various
actors. This collection will therefore approach diversities* *critically ?
as a site of real-life impacts and circumstances, as a concept and a
strategy ? while maintaining the awareness that diversity efforts remain
subject to their proponents? positionalities, ideologies, moral and value
judgments, economic and political aims, and a variety of other contextual
factors illustrating their situatedness. At the same time, the individuals
and groups intended for or affected by diversity measures are subjects to
their own contextual circumstances.



We welcome submissions from all academic disciplines investigating *Tensions
of Rhetorics and Realities in Critical Diversities*. Within this framework,
topics may include (but are not limited to):



   - Social, political and economic measures of inclusion/exclusion
   - Equality, inequality and the in-between
   - Individual, collective, institutional or systematic agency
   - Sites of power and power dynamics (e.g. the nation-state, the law,
   citizenship, social spheres, the media)
   - Characteristics of ?desirable? or ?undesirable? states of society
   (e.g. multiculturalism)
   - States of crisis and critically
   - Contemporary political trends and diversity (e.g. neoliberalism,
   benefit cuts)
   - Social movements, activism and identity politics (e.g. LGBTQIA* rights)
   - Different ?publics? and lived experiences of division/communality
   - Practices of representation and recognition (e.g. in the media, policy)

?       Tokenism and political correctness

   - Policing and censorship
   - Identities as multi-layered, *diverse* categories for social engagement
   - Intimacy practices, a-/sexuality and normativity
   - Gendered lives, realities and expectations
   - Racisms, anti-racisms and ?post?-racisms
   - Colonialisms, ?post?-colonialisms and neo-colonialisms
   - Feminisms, ?post?-feminisms and men?s rights movements
   - Issues of dis-/ability in the home, the public sphere or the workplace
   - Questions of faith ? religions and atheisms
   - Class, non-/belonging and socio-economic mobility
   - Privileged positionalities and subaltern knowledges
   - In-/visibility and potential of queer, DIY, alternative or grassroots
   spaces and efforts
   - Climate, ecology and the state of the ?natural? world
   - Diversity policies and organisational practice
   - Articulating Critical Diversities ? the language of diversity issues
   - Media discourses on diversity and difference
   - Humour as a means of/against discrimination
   - Critical Diversities in the academy
   - Divides between theories and practices of diversity
   - Methodologies for researching and assessing Critical Diversities





Please submit your *300 word abstract, a short biography and your contact
details* to tensions.rhetorics.realities at gmail.com by the deadline of
*10thJune 2013
*. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions! Please feel free
to contact us with any enquiries or expressions of interest.

?Online Collective Action and Policy Change?  - Special Issue of ?Policy and Internet"

Guest Editors:
Andrea Calderaro (European University Institute) and Anastasia Kavada (University of Westminster)

Abstract
The Internet has multiplied the platforms available to influence public opinion and policy making. It has also provided citizens with a greater capacity for coordination and mobilisation, which can strengthen their voice and representation in the policy agenda. As waves of protest sweep both authoritarian regimes and liberal democracies, this rapidly developing field calls for more detailed enquiry. However, research exploring the relationship between online mobilisation and policy change is still limited. This special issue of ?Policy and Internet? addresses this gap through a variety of perspectives. Contributions to this issue view the Internet both as a tool that allows citizens to influence policy making, and as an object of new policies and regulations, such as data retention, privacy, and copyright laws, around which citizens are mobilising. Together, these articles offer a comprehensive empirical account of the interface between online collective action and policy making.

CALL FOR AWARD APPLICATIONS

Carl J. Couch Internet Research Award 2013

Sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research
http://www.cccsir.com/

The Carl Couch Center issues an international call for
student-authored papers to be considered for Carl J. Couch Internet
Research Award. The Couch Center welcomes both theoretical and
empirical papers that apply symbolic interactionist approaches to
internet studies.

According to basic symbolic interactionist premises, what we
understand as self, identity, relationship, and cultural formations
are constructed dialogically and interactively.  While the works of
George H. Mead, Georg Simmel, Erving Goffman and other leading
symbolic interactionists have been integral to the study of social
interaction, Carl Couch was among the first from this tradition to
suggest the importance of engaging in the study of mediated
interaction. It is critical that symbolic interactionists move boldly
forward, beyond Couch's initial suggestion, to study what has become
for many a dominant form of communication in their everyday life.

Whether we research identities, emotion, memory, family, work, career,
presentations of self, deception, love, loss or other areas, the
impact of mediated communication is felt by those interacting within
it.  As internet-related media continue to influence our everyday
interactions--not only with other people but also with technologies,
devices, algorithms, platform parameters, and so forth--it becomes
crucial for symbolic interactionists to attend to the role of these
mediating factors in the interaction process.

We encourage any paper that uses a symbolic interactionist approach in
internet studies. We also encourage papers that explore the interface
between deliberate social interaction and structured (or automated)
interactions sponsored or enacted by various technological features,
exploring not only how identities, relations, and social formations
are negotiated through social interactions, but also how these
interactions are mediated further through the use or capacities of
various technologies.

Papers will be evaluated based on the quality of (1) mastery of
symbolic interactionist approaches and concepts, (2) originality, (3)
organization, (4) presentation, and (5) advancement of knowledge.
Those contemplating entering should note that an interactionist
approach demands thoughtful analysis, and not mere description, of
social interactions. Evaluation will be administered by a Review
Committee of four:

Mark D. Johns, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa
Jennifer Dunn, Texas Tech University, Lubbock
Annette Markham, University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee
Lois Ann Scheidt, Indiana University, Bloomington

Competition is open to graduate or undergraduate students of all
disciplines. Works that are published or accepted for publication are
not eligible for award consideration. Entries should be in English and
not exceed 30 pages (approximately 7500 words) in length, including
references and appendices. Limit of one entry per student per year.

The top paper will receive Couch Award to be presented at the 2013
meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers (aoir.org) at the
University of Denver. The top paper will be awarded a certificate and
a cash prize of $300 US and the author will be invited to present
their work at a session of the AoIR conference, October 24-27, 2013 in
Denver, Colorado, USA.

Candidates should send a copy of their paper, with a 100-word
abstract, electronically to Mark Johns at mjohns at luther.edu
Application deadline is May 15, 2013. Notification of award will be
sent by June 15.

*Apologies for cross-posting*

I'm developing a proposal for a community informatics subject to sit within our information studies program here at CSU.  I need to pull together some readings that might define the field.

I've identified the helpful bibliography on the CIRN Commons wiki at http://cirn.wikispaces.com/Bibliography

Do any colleagues on the list care to suggest what they consider key readings in the theory and practice of community informatics?

I'm happy to compile responses sent to me off-list and share a full set of suggestions with air-l.

Computational Social Science: From Social Contagion to Collective Behaviour

Barcelona, 19 September 2013
http://microsites.oii.ox.ac.uk/collectivecontagion/

Important Dates:
Abstract submission deadline: 30 June 2013
Conference date: 19 September 2013

Event Overview
Intense scientific debate is going around the definition of the foundational concepts and appropriate methodological approaches to deal with the understanding of social dynamics. These challenges are aiming to understand human behavior in its complexity driven by intentional (and not necessarily rational) decisions and influenced by a multitude of factors. The functioning of communication-based mechanisms requires individuals to interact in order to acquire information to cope with uncertainty and thus deeply rely on the accuracy and on the completeness of information (if any). In fact, people's perceptions, knowledge, beliefs and opinions about the world and its evolution, get (in)formed and modulated through the information they can access. Moreover their response is not linear as individuals can react by accepting, refusing, or elaborating (and changing) the received information.

Technology-mediated social collectives are taking an important role in the design of social structures. Yet our understanding of the complex mechanisms governing networks and collective behaviour is still quite shallow. Fundamental concepts like authority, leader-follower dynamics, conflict or collaboration in online networks are still not well defined and investigated - but they are crucial to illuminate the advantages and pitfalls of this form of collective decision-making (which can cancel out individual mistakes, but also make them spiral out of control).
The aim of this satellite is to address the question of ICT mediated social phenomena emerging in multiple scales ranging from the interactions of individuals to the emergence of self-organized global movements. We would like to gather researchers from different disciplines to form a forum to discuss ideas, research questions, recent results, and future challenges in this emerging area of research and public interest.

/Call for Participation/
Recent innovations have generated considerable discussion about the 
transformation of higher education. Massively open online courses 
(MOOCs) run by entrepreneurial startups using social media to provide 
educational experiences for thousands of students. Open courseware 
repositories and learning platforms for "flipping the classroom", moving 
exposition online and experiential, group activities into the classroom. 
Market and social pressures driving traditional educational institutions 
to simultaneously increase scale, reduce costs, and continually 
innovate. Seemingly constant change, presents unknown consequences for 
the work, practices, positions, and identity of faculty, staff, and 
students. Waves of technological, pedagogical, and institutional 
innovation are either fundamental transformations or distracting fads.

These forces affect us in many ways.As faculty, changes in higher 
education directly affect our work, professional identity, and personal 
well-being. As educators, new technologies and institutional 
arrangements create new opportunities and constraints for working with 
students. As leaders, changing competitive environments affect the 
viability and health of our institutions and the choices we make about 
regulatory structures, joint-ventures, personnel, and investments.

At the same time, researchers have studied exactly the kinds of issues 
we are observing in higher education, but in other settings. Disruptive 
technologies; implications and development of knowledge and information 
repositories; institutional and inter-organizational competitive 
dynamics; individual, group, organizational, and population learning; 
the strengths and limitations of virtual teams; the dual nature of 
structure and routines; tensions between immediate adaptation and 
long-term viability; and the nature of work practices in 
knowledge-intensive organizations. These are just a few areas in which 
we have conducted research relevant for understanding and managing the 
ongoing transformation of higher education.

Although there is an extensive body of relevant knowledge, collectively 
we rarely make critical connections back to the ongoing discussions 
about the nature and future of higher education. In spite of this, 
discussions about higher education transformations are often based on 
anecdotes, opinion, and isolated experience of commentators, activists, 
and pundits --leaving faculty, students, administrators, and 
policymakers even more confused about what they should expect and 
prepare for in the future.

*A2A Workshop Objectives and Deliverables *

The purpose of the Academy (of Management) to Academy Workshop (A2A) is 
to build connections between state-of-the-art management, organization 
studies, and information systems research and the policy, institutional, 
and professional discussions prompted by the ongoing transformation of 
higher education. By making these connections more explicit we seek to:

?Help participants better understand and explain the trends affecting 
their organizations

?Provide high-value entry points into the management research literature 
for leaders grappling with organizational, institutional, and 
technological changes in higher education

?Identify opportunities for advancing the study of institutional, 
strategic, and technological change in knowledge-intensive environments 
by highlighting issues in higher education that are not well addressed 
by existing theory or empirical work

To achieve these objectives, the A2A Workshop will focus on the 
development of a set of 1-2 page briefs that build strategic connections 
between issues in higher education and current management, organization, 
and information systems research. Each brief will consider a specific 
issue or trend (e.g. the implications of online education for faculty 
work-life balance; the strategic implications of MOOCs for state 
universities; etc.); identify 3-4 published studies that provide 
theoretical and empirical bases for understanding and addressing the 
issue; and provide a short statement of how that work can be used to 
understand, explain, and respond to the focal issue.

The completed briefs and a summary of directions for new research will 
be made publically available through the website of the Center of the 
Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) 
<http://casci.umd.edu/> at the University of Maryland.Other publication 
outlets (conference paper, journals, etc.) will be pursued based on the 
interest workshop participants.

*Applying for and Participating in the A2A Workshop *

To apply for the A2A Workshop, prepare a short (1-2 page) position paper 
describing a specific issue in higher education, why it is important, 
and how management, organizational, and/or information systems 
scholarship is relevant for that issue.For full consideration please 
submit your position paper to the A2A co-coordinator by (Brian Butler) 
at bsbutler at umd.edu by May 10th, 2013.

All applicants will be invited to participate in the A2A blog. This 
blog/wiki will contain regular posts that highlight current issues in 
higher education and relevant management research.

Selected applicants will be invited to join a ? day Professional 
Development Workshop (PDW) session on August 10^th from 8am -- 12pm 
(prior to the Academy of Management Annual Meeting 
<http://aom.org/annualmeeting/>).At this session we will work in groups 
to refine the focal issue statements, select the relevant 
theories/concepts/papers, collaboratively create initial drafts, and 
engage in comment and on-the-spot revision of the briefs.

While the specific issues considered will emerge from the submitted 
position papers and online discussions, possible topics include (but are 
not limited to):

?Change management and leadership in academic centers and departments

?Mentoring at a distance

?Intrapreneurship and autonomy in publically funded institutions

?Virtual teams and organizations for research

?Design of learning management systems to support learning analytics

?Differential competitive dynamics in heterogeneous/homogeneous 
organizational fields

?Disruptive technologies in public organizations

?Educational institutions as a site of knowledge work

?Practice theories of technology and innovation

?Organizational and community learning about MOOCs

?Team and individual performance and behavior in turbulent environments

?Learning analytics and continuous improvement

?Identity and innovation in small colleges

?Sociomateriality and educational institutions

?Dynamics of groups and communities in open learning environments

?Professional identity and "alternative" employment arrangements

?Bureaucracy, institutions, innovation and identity in state universities

*Where Do Neoliberals Go After the Market?
Calculation, computation and crisis*

A one-day conference organised by Centre for Interdisciplinary
Methodologies<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/>,
University of Warwick

*13th June 2013
10am-6.30pm
Room S0.21*

Neoliberalism is commonly identified as a belief in the self-regulating
powers of markets, especially financial markets. Markets, from this
perspective, are powerful information-processors, which are uniquely
capable of governing complex societies while preserving liberty. In recent
decades, financial institutions have added further computational power,
which, among other things, has led to the automation of trading and the
calculation and simulation of market scenarios to manage risk. The
financial crisis has been perceived by some as the outcome of this
collision between markets and increasingly ?performative? economics.
But where does this leave neoliberalism and its technical ideal of freedom?
Does it simply require more markets or greater computational power to
prevent future crises? Or are we witnessing the emergence of a different
neoliberalism, based on different technologies and ideologies of liberty,
in appeals to ?Big Data? and ?openness?? Might software and ?open data?
usurp the primacy of the price system in the neoliberal imagination, as
tools of governance in complex modern societies? To what extent are the
political desires of the digital elite ? from Hackers to Silicon Valley ?
amenable to the neoliberal project?

This one-day conference will address these questions from a range of
disciplinary perspectives, including software studies, history of
economics, political theory, media theory, international political economy
and economic sociology.

 *Speakers Include*

?       *Prof Philip Mirowski <http://www3.nd.edu/~pmirowsk/>*, University

*Journalism in an Era of Big Data*



Call for papers for a special issue of *Digital Journalism* (Routledge,
Taylor & Francis; http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rdij20/current)



*Submission deadline:*

July 1, 2013 (abstracts)

January 1, 2014 (full papers for peer review)

June 1, 2014 (revised full papers due)



*Guest Editor:* Seth C. Lewis of the University of Minnesota, USA

(*Digital Journalism* Editor: Bob Franklin)

The term ?Big Data? is often invoked to describe the overwhelming volume of
information produced by and about human activity, made possible by the
growing ubiquity of mobile devices, tracking tools, always-on sensors, and
cheap computing storage. In combination with technological advances that
facilitate the easy organizing, analyzing, and visualizing of such data
streams, Big Data represents a social, cultural, and technological
phenomenon with potentially major import for public knowledge and news
information. How is journalism, like other social institutions, responding
to this data abundance? What are the implications of Big Data for
journalism?s norms, routines, and ethics? For its modes of production,
distribution, and audience reception? For its business models and
organizational arrangements? And for the overall sociology and epistemology
of news in democratic society?

This special issue of the international journal *Digital
Journalism*(Routledge, Taylor & Francis) brings together scholarly
work that
critically examines the evolving nature of journalism in an era of Big
Data. This issue aims to explore a range of phenomena at the junction
between journalism and the social, computer, and information
sciences?including the contexts and practices around news-related
algorithms, applications, sophisticated mapping, real-time analytics,
automated information services, dynamic visualizations, and other
computational approaches that rely on massive data sets and their
maintenance. This special issue seeks not simply to describe these tools
and their application in journalism, but rather to develop what Anderson
(2012) calls a ?sociological approach to computational journalism??a frame
of reference that acknowledges the trade-offs, embedded values, and power
dynamics associated with technological change. This special issue thus
encourages a range of critical engagements with the problems as well as
opportunities associated with data and journalism.

The special issue welcomes articles drawing on a variety of theoretical and
methodological approaches, with a preference for empirically driven or
conceptually rich accounts. These papers might touch on a range of themes,
including but not limited to the following:

?      The history (or histories) of computational forms of journalism;

?      The epistemological ramifications of ?data? in contemporary newswork;

?      Norms, routines, and values associated with emerging forms of
data-driven journalism, such as data visualizations, news applications,
interactives, and alternative forms of storytelling;

?      The sociology of new actors connected to computational forms of
journalism, within and beyond newsrooms (e.g., news application teams,
programmer-journalists, tech entrepreneurs, web developers, and hackers);

?      The social, cultural, and technological roles of algorithms,
automation, real-time analytics, and other forms of mechanization in
contemporary newswork, and the implications of such for journalistic roles
and routines;

?      The ethics of journalism in the context of Big Data;

?      The business, managerial, economic, and other labor-related issues
associated with data-centric forms of newswork;

?      Approaches for conceptualizing the distinct nature of emerging
journalisms (e.g., computational journalism, data journalism, algorithmic
journalism, and programmer journalism);

?      The blurring boundaries between ?news? and other types of
information, and the role of Big Data and its related implications in that
process



Articles should be no more than 8,000 words in length, including
references, etc. Please submit an abstract of 600-800 words that clearly
spells out the theoretical construct, research questions, and methods that
will be used. Also include the names, titles, and contact information for
2-3 suggested reviewers. Abstracts are due by July 1, 2013, to
sclewis at umn.edu (with ?DJ special issue? in the subject line). Providing
the abstract meets the criteria for the call, full manuscripts are due by
January 1, 2014 (also to sclewis at umn.edu), at which point they will be
peer-reviewed and considered for acceptance. The proposed date of
publication is 2015. Please contact guest editor Seth C. Lewis with
questions: sclewis at umn.edu. Manuscripts should conform to the guidelines
for Digital Journalism<http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=rdij20&page=instructions>

Overview

There is a reciprocal relationship between art and visualization research ?
New media artists redefine the way that we view science and information,
while experts in science, medicine, informatics, and visualization impact
art practice through new ideas, technologies, and collaborations. The IEEE
VIS 2013 Arts Program showcases high-quality artwork and research that
demonstrates and investigates the exciting and increasingly prominent
intersections between art and visualization. Through an *art show* that
runs concurrently with the IEEE 2013 VIS conference and a dedicated *papers
track*, the Arts Program aims to foster new thinking, discussion, and
collaboration between artists, designers, technologists, visualization
scientists, and others working at the intersection of these fields.

The theme for this year's arts program is *Art+Experiment*. Visualization
research encompasses not only data representation, but also the development
of interaction techniques, explorations of display aesthetics, and
examinations of applied perception. Increasingly, empirical justification
for new visualization techniques is derived through well-designed
experiments. And in fact, much recent research is concerned with the
creation, implementation, replication, and evaluation of user studies in
order to propel the fields of information and scientific visualization. At
the same time, the new media arts community is interested in the creative
possibilities offered by new technologies and new techniques, but also in
developing new methods and presentations to explore and question their
cultural meaning and impact.

What does it mean for an art installation to produce experimental results?
Can an artwork be expressive, challenging, and conceptual, yet
simultaneously rigorous, practical, and empirical? We invite artists and
researchers to think about the connections and chasms between art and
research, and to explore the nature of experimental design and creative
experimentation.

Papers Track

For this year's Arts Program we are including a papers track. Artists,
reseachers, and scholars are invited to submit papers related to the theme
of *Art+Experiment*. There is no fixed minimum or maximum length for the
papers, but they are generally expected to be between 5 and 10 pages.

Papers could discuss any of the following topics:

   - the influence of information visualization techniques on art practice
   - the influence of contemporary art practice on visualization techniques
   - exploration of the history of visualization
   - art and information
   - data visualization art
   - database aesthetics
   - creative visualization techniques
   - experimental interaction techniques
   - design and information aesthetics
   - infographics and art
   - cybernetic art and visualization
   - telematic art and visualization
   - aesthetics of experiment

Accepted authors will present their papers at the Arts Program session
during the conference. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE VIS
2013 Arts Program proceedings. Detailed submission instructions can be
found below.

There is also an art show track.

Digital and interactive technologies are becoming increasingly embedded in everyday lives of people around the world. 
Application of technologies such as real-time, context-aware, and interactive technologies; augmented and immersive 
realities;, social media; and location-based services has been particularly evident in urban environments where 
technological and sociocultural infrastructures enable easier deployment and adoption as compared to non-urban areas. 
There has been growing consumer demand for new forms of experiences and services enabled through these emerging technologies. 
We call this ambient media, as the media is embedded in the natural human living environment. This workshop focuses on 
ambient media services, applications, and technologies that promote people?s engagement in creating and re-creating 
liveliness in urban environments, particularly through arts, culture, and gastronomic experiences.

The workshop takes a multidisciplinary and future oriented approach, and welcomes participants from diverse disciplinary 
domains for open discussions about technological, sociocultural, and content-related aspects of ambient media services 
that support people?s engagement in (re)creating their urban environments into a livelier place through art, cultural, 
and gastronomic experiences. 

Within this context, we welcome submissions relating to (but not limited to) the following:
?	case-studies (successful, and especially unsuccessful ones);
?	speculative and innovative concepts or design;
?	demonstrations of services and applications;
?	user-experience studies and evaluations;
?	artistic installations and contents;
?	social and/or economic studies, businesses models, and marketing 
?	technological novelties, evaluations, and solutions;

The following topics fit within the scope of the workshop:
?	Analysis of videos related to art, culture, and gastronomy
?	Ubiquitous environments and interfaces in lively city environments
?	Intelligent appliances and gadgets supporting art, culture and gastronomy
?	Multimedia learning for activities around smart city environments
?	Locative media and context sensor technologies
?	Artistic, cultural, and gastronomic services and applications;
?	Socio-economic studies, business models, advertising, and marketing;
?	Applied ambient media technologies in city environments (e.g. P2P, 3D, augmented reality, QoE, protocols, networks, security, and privacy);
?	Engagement and persuasion in smart environments;
?	QoE and for ambient urban city applications.

Subject: [Air-L] SAMLA Visual Rhetoric Regular Session CFP
Message-ID: <CAOeZqnbaMQofrdGQKZwrXKz--S5vKqLv9EMZdsf6QW+th_pVnQ@mail.gmail.com>

The South Atlantic Modern Language Association?s (SAMLA) focus this year is
Cultures, Contexts, Images, and Texts: Making Meaning in Print, Digital,
and Networked Worlds, and this Call for Papers invites submissions that
explore and examine the ways that images are used to make meaning in print
and online.

In keeping with the rhetorical focus of this session, we are interested in
papers that inquire how visual artifacts make meaning by persuading using
one or more of Aristotle?s appeals: ethos, logos, and/or pathos.

Papers may examine how visuals persuade in print, digital, and networked
worlds through moving images such as videos and movies, artwork, static
online or printed images, and video games.

The Visual Rhetoric session is a regular session of SAMLA, and we invite
submissions that engage with the theme of this year's conference as well as
engaging with other issues and topics that represent the field of visual
rhetoric.

Please send abstracts of 500 words or less to the session?s chair, Shawn
Apostel, sapostel at bellarmine.edu, no later than May 24, 2013, and include
with your abstract any audio / visual needs you have. All presenters must
be members of SAMLA at the time of presentation. Please be sure to include
your contact information and any other special needs you may have.

SAMLA will be held in Atlanta, GA on November 8-10, 2013. For more
information about the conference, visit http://samla.memberclicks.net/.

Best regards,

Shawn

Subject: [Air-L] literature on friendship
Message-ID: <CAFxgb8oYAb1YrAOjk4gBVQchv0m7HW6Xtfh1DVPNuWW2cwvL4w@mail.gmail.com>

A colleague of mine in computer science wants to develop a deeper
understanding of what friendship means in online environments and how it
compares with understandings of friendship in offline environments.  She is
specifically interested in the following two questions and is looking for
literature suggestions:

1)  Is there research that characterizes friendship in either qualitative
or quantitative ways?
2) Is there research that distinguishes the characteristics of online
friendships based on the nature of the origin (i.e. was the friendship
established prior to online interaction vs during the online interaction)?

All literature suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks!

Message-ID: <C3F417E2-D015-45F4-9EB9-4AA50629315F@qut.edu.au>

PROTOTYPE TURN
ACM Creative & Cognition 2013 Workshop
Sydney, Australia
June 17, 2013
----
From citizen science to critical design and the ?maker? movement we are witnessing a ?prototype turn? that emphasizes collaborative and open design practices that challenge and redefine the existing social, political, and technical limits (of software and hardware). In recent years, design trends in technological platforms have widely applied concepts such as quantified self, gamification, DIY/maker culture, highlighting and in many cases, advocating open access and (re-)use of data. However, this emphasis towards ?openness? is not without problems and drawbacks. 

This workshop will bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in emergent and critical perspectives related to open data across diverse fields from science to arts. The workshop will serve as an active forum to discuss a diverse set of perspectives in order to examine and interrogate the notion of ?openness? by looking at specific cases and related social, cultural, political, and technological phenomena surrounding the open access to and (re-)use of data. 

The specific goals of this workshop are to: 

- Document the emerging and fast evolving space of communities focused around open approaches towards data

- Reflect upon specific instances of open data practices and uses that would benefit from critical thinking around the ?open ethics?

- Produce a toolkit that helps develop practical and critical strengths for new open data projects.


WORKSHOP STRUCTURE
Participants will be asked to present their papers in this half-day workshop and we will also archive everyone?s papers on the workshop?s website. In the second half of the workshop, we will prepare datasets from existing projects and ask the diverse groups to work together to develop potential kits and tools for stakeholders and communities to deliberate upon the use of open data. These kits and tools will provide the users with pragmatic, as well as critical/theoretical, considerations when working with open data. Participants will present their prototypes and ideas after which we will discuss the results and plan future events and dissemination of output from the workshop.


SUBMISSION FORMAT
Please submit a 2 ? 3 page position statement, which includes the following: 

- Description of your current project or applications that are related to the open approach towards the use and reuse of data. 

- Questions about how theoretical and critical perspectives would inform your own project. 

- Ideas or speculations about the trajectory of open ethics in your field of expertise. 

- A short biography of the author wishing to attend the workshop (100-150 words). 

Applications should be single-authored. We highly encourage teamwork on the day, but would like social interaction, idea iteration, and group formation at the event. We ask participants to submit their applications to prototypeturn at gmail.com by May 16th, 2013

Message-ID: <3A516523-513B-4BB8-92F0-597B60949FC7@uoregon.edu>

Hi everyone, 
I was wondering if folks have advice or suggestions on literature pertaining to synchronous interviews via Facebook Chat. For my dissertation research I am looking to interview youth (ages 13-18) online and am hoping to do so through Facebook Chat. I've considered other instant message platforms but Facebook has the most ecological validity for my current research. However, I am obviously concerned with issues of confidentiality and protection of participants. 

I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice. 

All the best,

Subject: [Air-L] (advice sought) Public safety and configuration of list
Message-ID: <1366686005.41cc0.19977@out.zelea.com>

To the experts in Liberationtech, Air-L and Mailman lists,
(cc General Counsel of Stanford University)

Stanford University has configured the Liberationtech mailing list in
a manner that is potentially unsafe.  University staff are aware of
the problem and are evalutating the situation, but have yet to take
action.  I'm a subscriber to the list, and I ask your advice.


SITUATION

  The Liberationtech mailing list is run by Stanford University in
  connection with its Program on Liberation Technology.  That program
  investigates the use of IT "to defend human rights, improve
  governance, empower the poor, promote economic development, and
  pursue a variety of other social goods." [1] Experts on the list
  advise and inform on matters such as encrypting communications,
  protecting infrastructure from cyber attack, and protecting onself
  from personal danger.  Often those seeking help are in vulnerable
  situations.  They include aid workers, reporters and activists who
  live and work in environments where human rights are not well
  respected, or where the government is too weak to protect people
  from organized criminals, rival militias, and so forth.

  The list software is GNU Mailman.  The administration interface
  includes the following configuration items: [2]

    (a) Should any existing Reply-To: header found in the original
        message be stripped?  If so, this will be done regardless of
        whether an explict Reply-To: header is added by Mailman or
        not.

         X  No
         -  Yes

    (b) Where are replies to list messages directed?  Poster is
        *strongly* recommended for most mailing lists.

          X  Poster
          -  This list
          -  Explicit address (c) _________

  Shown above is the default, recommended setting of (1 No, 2 Poster).
  It leaves the sender's Reply-To headers (if any) unaltered during
  mail transfer.  Instead of this, the Liberationtech mailing list is
  configured as follows:

    (b) Where are replies to list messages directed?  Poster is
        *strongly* recommended for most mailing lists.

          -  Poster
          X  This list
          -  Explicit address (c) _________

  With this setting, whenever a subscriber Q sends a message to the
  list, the software adds a Reply-To header pointing to L, which is
  the address of the list itself.  The message is then passed on to
  the subscribers.  The meaning of the added Reply-To header is, "Q
  asks that you reply to her at L." [3]

  Note that this is false information; Q does not ask that.


EXAMPLE OF DANGER

  Matt Mackall has suggested that, "here of all places", people might
  get hurt as a consequence of this configuration [4].  I agree.
  Here's a brief example of how people might get hurt:

    1. Subscriber P is in a vulnerable situation.  P is distacted by
       the situation and is not getting a lot of sleep.

    2. P asks the mailing list for advice on the situation, because
       that's the purpose of the list.

    3. Subscriber Q replies with helpful information.

       The mailing list adds a Reply-To header to Q's message that
       points to address L.  Again, the mis-information is, "Q asks
       that you reply to her at L". [3]

    4. P replies with private information, including (as Matt puts it)
       a "potentially life-endangering datum".  Tired and distracted,
       P replies by hitting the standard Reply button.  In the mail
       client, this means "reply to Q".

       The reply goes instead to L, which is the public mailing list.

       Oh my god!  What have I done!

    5. People get hurt.

  Isn't this a danger?


POSSIBLE EXPLOIT THAT INCREASES THE DANGER

  Suppose that P is actually a police operative in an authoritarian
  state, or a criminal operative in a failed state.  He only pretends
  to be a vulnerable activist (say).  His real aim is to hurt the
  activists and other opponents; damage the university's reputation;
  close down the mailing list; make democracy look foolish [5]; and
  finally make some money in the bargain [6].  The likelihood of his
  success is roughly proportional to the amount of harm suffered by
  the activists and other innocent people.

  If such an exploit were even *perceived* to be feasible, then the
  mis-configuration of the mailing list would not only be exposing the
  public to a haphazard danger, but also providing the means and
  incentive to orchestrate and amplify that danger.

  Might not this exploit be perceived as feasible?


INTERIM RECOMMENDATION

  While Stanford University is evaluating these safety concerns and
  has yet to make a decision, it should return the configuration to
  its default setting.  The default setting is known to be safe.

I'm glad to see this being addressed, particularly in light of the use of
targetted viruses sent specifically to activist mailing lists (which is, of
course, a slightly different issue). In the past this mostly seems to be
around Chinese/Tibetan issues, but it's probably useful to start thinking
about mailing list security more broadly.

Message-ID: <A81D94D8FC4AFD4FB60903BE11625B4C26E6E8E5@CISAMRMBS01.mds.ad.dur.ac.uk>

You are invited to take part in an online study investigating social media and online risk. Social Media refers to Social Networking websites and digital applications that enable people to interact and share information; this includes sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate how and why people may be using social media, including their attitudes and perceptions of it and also to investigate any positive and/or negative consequences associated with its use.

If you have used any form of Social Media in the last 3 months, you are eligible to participate. Participation is anonymous and simply involves completing an online questionnaire which will take approximately 25 minutes.  The survey includes questions about your use of Social Media, your perceptions of Social Media and any positive and/or negative experiences you have had as a result of using Social Media. You will also be asked for some basic demographic information. No identifiable information will be requested.
Everyone who completes the survey has the chance to win a ?50 Amazon voucher.
I am more than happy to repay the favour by participating in your study. Also, if you would like to do a link swop and share my survey via your social media sites, I am happy to do the same in return :)
Please visit this website to take part: https://durhambs.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5gt9rX6RB8Q9pNr
If you have any questions please email the principle researcher, Dawn Branley at dawn.branley at durham.ac.uk<mailto:dawn.branley at durham.ac.uk>, or tweet @TheCyberPsyche

More tweets, More votes: Social media as a quantitative indicator of
political behavior
New work by Joseph DiGrazia, Karissa McKelvey, Johan Bollen and Fabio Rojas.

We hope this paper can convince your reviewers that social media
aren't just spam-infested pools of emoticons. We show that random
samples are significant predictors of vote margin in house elections.

No sentiment needed -- only raw counts of the names of the candidates.
We do it by measuring simply the number of times a candidate was
mentioned by full name (first last). Handles and hashtags don't work
as well. There will be another paper later about that.

The working paper (short!) is here:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2235423

We'd appreciate your comments

Symposium on Urban Informatics: Exploring Smarter Cities

Philadephia PA | June 11, 2013
ExCITe Center | 3401 Market Street

http://ischool.drexel.edu/urbaninformatics

Registration is open and the program has been posted.

The symposium on Urban Informatics will bring together designers, city 
planners and managers, technologists, scholars and entrepreneurs in 
Philadelphia, at the heart of the U.S. northeast urban corridor, to 
explore the frontiers of the urban environment. The event will be hosted 
at the Expressive and Creative Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) 
research center on the Drexel University campus.

The opening plenary will be delivered by Dr. Keith Hampton and several 
panel discussions are planned that will bring together diverse 
perspectives on urban technologies. Participants will be encouraged to 
take time to form ad-hoc discussion groups throughout the day.

PLENARY BIO | After receiving his doctorate from University of Toronto 
in Sociology, Keith Hampton joined the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology faculty as the first professor of "technology and the city" 
in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning and later joined the 
Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. He 
served as chair of the American Sociological Association's section on 
Communication and Information Technologies from 2007-2009, and 
past-chair from 2009-2010. Hampton is currently an associate professor 
of communication at Rutgers University's School of Communication.

You just need to do a Vulcan mind-meld with Lois Scheidt, and then
everything will be all right.  ;-)

[Lois is the one AoIR-ista I know who has both the adolescent experience
and the IRB experience around all these issues - you *need* to talk to her,
so that you have someone who's already walked through fire with an IRB
(both as applicant and as reviewer) and sorted out what's ethical and
practically possible around these issues.  Particularly because there are
juveniles involved.]

I second this advice. Lois talked me through IRB ethical/methodological issues at great length and with inspiring clarity and coherence.

Hi Lois :)

Janet Salmons' work about conducting online interviews might be helpful to
you. In addition, you should consult with your IRB ahead of time, let them
know what you're up to, and ask for their guidance. IRBs vary considerably,
so be sure you consult the board at your institution. Best of luck, Peter

Maybe there's a misunderstanding here.  The list subscribers are not
responsible for the safe administration of the list.  The university
alone is responsible.  It could never pass that responsibility on to
the subscribers, even if it wanted to.

> ... to appeal to higher authorities that have much better things on
> which to spend their time ...

Well, it was university staff who appealed to counsel some weeks ago,
following an off-list discussion.  As I mention, the university is
evaluating the matter and has yet to make a decision.  My purpose in
posting is to ask advice from experts, and to remind the counsel's
office (a busy place, as you say) of the need for a decision.

Again, pending that decision, I recommend that the configuration be
returned to its default setting.  The default is known to be safe.

It's unethical and just makes other list members very, very cranky.  As
does any thread that suggests changing the reply-to bit on any list.

That aside - this ought to be a dead issue.  Don't use mailing lists with
archives for private or might-need-to-be-private correspondence that might
endanger lives or well-being of others.  The information *will* leak.  In
fact - I would suggest not using mail for this sort of issue at all,
regardless of whether it's a list or has archives or not.  The trail of
cleartext bits and routing information is too easily exploited.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for papers/research on the emerging culture and technological infrastructure of sharing --- e.g., car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing, time banks, etc. Beyond journalistic accounts, I am not having much luck, so if anyone is aware of papers on the topic, I'd much grateful.

Many thanks in advance,

MC1: Half-Day Master Class: Co-producing assisted living technologies and 
services
Rob Procter, Joe Wherton, Trish Greenhalgh, Paul Sugarhood, Mark Rouncefield, 
Guy Dewsbury

In this master class, we develop and expand on themes concerning the challenges 
of understanding the assisted living needs of older people in domestic 
settings, and methods for involving them and their carers in the co-production 
of assisted living technologies and services. It has the overall objective of 
developing an understanding and appreciation of the benefits and the various 
practical issues involved in facilitating a ?bricolage? approach to the 
dependable co-production of assisted living technologies.

WS1: Participatory Publics: Civic technology and local communities
Olav W. Bertelsen, Susanne B?dker, Martin Brynskov, Christopher A. Le Dantec, 
Anne Marie Kanstrup, Volkmar Pipek

New forms of community technologies are focused on supporting local, 
geographically connected communities directly through neighborhoods and civic 
activity. The workshop will address the following questions: What constitutes 
participation in community settings and how is it supported/augmented through 
IT? How do we understand the relationships between participation, community and 
technology in these (emerging) settings? It will be based on examples of 
technology supported participatory publics brought to the workshop by 
participants.

WS2: CSCW at the Boundary of Work and Life
Luigina Ciolfi, Gabriela Avram, Erik Gr?nvall, Chiara Rossitto, Louise Barkhuus

This workshop will explore how CSCW themes, concepts and sensibilities can be 
extended and applied to practices blurring the boundary between work and life. 
Technology has moved from workplaces to become part of nearly every aspect of 
everyday life. Similarly, CSCW research spans not only work settings and 
practices, but also other life domains, from family life, to gaming, tourism 
and other leisure activities. However, the neat distinction between which 
activities are work-related and which are not is becoming less and less 
meaningful as often the spheres of work and life blur into each other. 
Similarly, the use of technology is not limited to specific work vs. non-work 
situations. This workshop will discuss how to look at this blurring of 
practices, spheres of life and expectations: is it a problematic issue that 
should be addressed, or a new way of working and living that people are 
increasingly embracing? How do people coordinate and interact when work tasks, 
personal tasks and leisure tasks blur into each other, and how to 
support/facilitate/mediate this through design?

WS3: MoRoCo ? Models and their Role in Collaboration
Alexander Nolte, Michael Prilla, Peter Rittgen, Stefan Oppl

Using visual representations (models) of work or business processes can be 
considered a common practice in modern organizations. They are used to document 
current practices, to inform people about processes and to plan change or 
software development. As they include and affect multiple stakeholders, it has 
been found reasonable to develop and use them collaboratively to negotiate or 
coordinate work practice. In practice, however, models are seldom used or 
developed collaboratively, resulting in low impact of models and stakeholders 
in them on organizational development and change. Given the potential of 
collaborative work on models, we need a better understanding on how they can be 
developed and used collaboratively in order to leverage their role as artifacts 
of collaborative work in practice. The MoRoCo 2013 workshop focuses thus on 
collaborative work with and development of models. It aims at build a big 
picture of research on the role that models play in collaborative work in order 
to set up a common research agenda among participating researchers and 
practitioners alike.
The workshop is a follow up to the workshop on "Collaborative usage and 
development of models and visualization" held at ECSCW 2011 (proceedings are 
available online at 
http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-777/), which 
resulted in a special issue of the International Journal for eCollaboration 
(2013, in press). For this workshop the organizers are planning a similar 
course of events.

WS4: Francophone Ergonomics and CSCW ? a comparative analysis
Fran?oise Darses, Pascal Salembier, Kjeld Schmidt, Ina Wagner

The Francophone tradition of work analysis, with its rich repertoire of field 
studies, various forms of analysis, and conceptual frameworks, provides a very 
interesting perspective on forms of work activity. Although this perspective 
has been present for many years in ECSCW conferences and in the CSCW Journal, 
it has remained relatively isolated from the mainstream discussion within CSCW. 
The objective of the proposed workshop is to start an in-depth discussion of 
Francophone ergonomics and its conceptual and methodological contributions to 
CSCW research.

WS5: Designing Mobile Face-to-Face Group Interactions
Joel Fischer, Stuart Reeves, Steve Benford, Chris Greenhalgh

This workshop is concerned with understanding the nature of face-to-face group 
interactions in mobile, but collocated settings. It seeks to examine 
group-sensitive design examples, concepts and techniques, research methods and 
approaches to study group activities, and to learn how these social activities 
might be respected and supported by design. We aim to bring together 
researchers interested in the social organisation of face-to-face interaction, 
and designers of collaborative groupware and mobile, interactive experiences to 
explore opportunities and challenges for the design and study of experiences, 
apps and systems that support, augment or enable collocated activities.

WS6: Web2Touch (W2T?13): Coping with the evolution and security of shared Web 
information
Rodrigo Bonacin, Mariagrazia Fugini, Olga Nabuco, C?dric Pruski

Collaboration using the Web introduces special challenges when content needs to 
be consistent and reliable over time and under rapid evolution of contents 
resulting from collaboration activities. The development of collaborative 
Web-based environments is an open issue particularly on the topics of 
organization and management of shared information in a reliable and secure 
manner. Semantic Web techniques have been extensively used to address problems 
of knowledge management and sharing over the Web during the highly dynamic life 
of cooperative applications. The focus till now has been mainly on static 
knowledge organization; however the next generation of semantic techniques will 
have to face evolving knowledge organization and will need to cope with 
security, trust, reliability of what is exchanged in the Web. The goal of the 
W2T workshop is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners within the 
field of secure and knowledge-intensive Web collaboration using semantic 
techniques to share experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities to cope 
with frequent evolution of knowledge during cooperative processes based on the 
Web as a collaborative platform. W2T focuses also on security of highly 
evolutive knowledge during collaborative processes. W2T brings together

WS7: EC-TEL meets ECSCW - Workshop on Collaborative Technologies for Working 
and Learning
Monica Divitini, Tobias Ley, Stefanie Lindstaedt, Viktoria Pammer, Michael 
Prilla

This workshop explores the potential of collaborative technologies that are 
embedded in workplaces and practices, and which contribute to and help to scale 
learning on the individual, group or organisational levels. This includes 
particularly learning in informal, dynamic and naturalistic settings where 
learning often is a by-product of work. With this workshop, we intend to bring 
together the European communities of technology-enhanced learning, which meets 
at EC-TEL 2013 ? The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, and 
of computer-supported cooperative work, which meets at ECSCW 2013 ? The 
European Conference on Computer-supported Cooperative Work.

WS8: Designing with Users for Domestic Environments: Methods - Challenges - 
Lessons Learned
Corinna Ogonowski, Benedikt Ley, David Randall, Mu Mu, Nicholas Race, Mark 
Rouncefield

When developing new ICT systems and applications for domestic environments rich 
qualitative approaches improve the understanding of the users integral usage of 
technology in their daily routines and provide methods for long-term user 
involvement to inform the design process. However, this kind of research has to 
deal with methodological, technical and organisational challenges for the study 
design and its underlying cooperation processes. The workshop wishes to 
identify practical challenges of long-term user involvement, discuss best 
practice and develop a roadmap for sustainable relationships for design with 
users.

WS9: Backchannels and live participation tools: Current state and next steps 
forward
Matti Nelimarkka, Anders M?rch, Kai Kuikkaniemi, Marcus Specht, Teemu Leinonen,

Participation tools, such as audience response systems, Twitter-walls or 
custom- tailored software systems, are used to enhance lectures, meetings and 
conferences. The principal idea behind these tools is to give voice and engage 
the audience e.g. in information sharing, summarization, and multiple points of 
views. Previous studies in this domain include case descriptions and studies, 
where the use of participation tools have been described and analyzed, using 
various methods and theoretical positions. The aim of this workshop is to 
gather this diverse research domain, from scholars specialized in learning 
sciences to human-computer interaction researchers, for one day to examine this 
multidisciplinary phenomenon.

Subject: [Air-L] AoIR Executive Committee Elections
Message-ID: <72A7C5438AAF2B4382455117C749427D2A477043@CITESMBX1.ad.uillinois.edu>

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that AoIR has now commenced the process of electing a new Executive Committee to take office in October of this year and serve until October 2015. We are seeking nominations for the new executive. I also note that voting for your executive committee is one of the privileges of membership in AoIR. This is one of the ways you can shape the organization. So if you have let your membership lapse or have not yet signed up, now would be a great time to join AoIR!

Here is an overview of the election timeline, procedures and positions for nomination, as determined by the Association's by-laws. This year we will be handling voting through an election management site, and voting instructions will be provided later.

Below in this email, you will find: A. Time frame of the election. B. Description of the AoIR governance system and of the elected positions. C. Nominations and Elections Processes. And D. Questions for Candidates.

A. Time Frame of the Election:

1. Call for Nominations: opens April 25, 2013.

2. Nominations close for all positions (4 officer positions and 3 open seats) May 8, 2013.

3. Candidate information will be made available to AoIR members on aoir.org and will be sent to air-l.

4. Voting begins May 22, 2013 at the balloting site. (Details for accessing this site will be sent in a later email.)

5. Voting ends May 31, 2013.

The new committee is formally announced and assumes its duties at the end of the Annual General Meeting during the AoIR conference, 23-26 October 2013.

B. AoIR Governance and Description of Elected Positions:

The organizational structure of AoIR is simple. There are 5 officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Graduate Student representative). The 9-member Executive Committee consists of these officers, plus the Past President and 3 open seat representatives. Elected officials hold their positions for two years. After two years, the Vice President becomes President. In this election, nominations are invited for Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Graduate Student representative, and 3 open seats. You may nominate yourself or someone else you think would do a good job. Details on the nomination procedure follow below.

Here are brief descriptions of positions:

President: Acts as "CEO" and supervises the organization. The President?s duties include serving as part of the Conference Committee. This position is not directly elected, as the Vice President becomes President after two years.

Vice President: "Back up" for President, performing various duties as they arise; becomes President after 2 years. The Vice President also serves on the Conference Committee.

Secretary: Handles records and membership matters.

Treasurer: Liaises with Secretary to maintain membership records; takes care of financial and related administrative duties (e.g., annual report to membership and U.S. tax authorities), including close attention to the annual Internet Research (IR) conference budget. The Treasurer serves on the Conference Committee.

Graduate Student Representative: Responsible for running graduate student activities. The Graduate Student Representative must be actively enrolled in a degree program at the time of nomination and election. All members can vote for the grad student representative.

Open Committee Seats: Three open Seats on the Executive Committee represent membership of AoIR, and contribute to decision-making.

Immediate Past President: Serves on the Executive Committee.

More information can be found in the AoIR Bylaws:

http://aoir.org/about/bylaws-statements-and-policies/bylaws/

Candidates should familiarize themselves with the duties laid out in the Bylaws. I also encourage persons interested in running for a specific position to contact the current office-holder(s) with any specific questions, etc.


C. Nominations and Elections Processes.

Only a member of AoIR can run for a position, nominated by anyone. If nominated for more than one position a nominee must choose to run for one (and only one) position in this election. You may nominate yourself or another person (or people).

Self Nominations: Email AoIR Secretary Catherine Middleton <catherine.middleton at ryerson.ca> and indicate the position for which you are nominating yourself. Please provide, in your nomination email a short candidate statement addressing the questions below.

Nominating Others: Email AoIR Secretary Catherine Middleton <catherine.middleton at ryerson.ca> with the name of the person you want to nominate, the position for which you are nominating this person, contact information for that person, and an indication of whether you know if this person would accept this nomination. (If you don't know, we'll contact them and ask).

All candidates for election will be required to provide answers to the questions listed at the end of this email, have the answers posted to the AoIR election forum website, and participate in an online candidate forum.

In addition the Graduate Student candidates must confirm in their response that they comply with the by-laws: The Graduate Student Representative must be actively enrolled in a degree program at the time of nomination and election.

The voting system used by AoIR is one vote per member for each of the eight positions for election listed above. Votes will be tallied using a balloting software site. In the case of the four directly elected officers, the candidate with the highest number of votes shall be declared the winner; in the case of the open seats, the three candidates with the highest, second-highest and third highest votes shall be declared the winners of the open seats.

In the case of tied results for the officer positions, the winner shall be determined by the ballot counters, by drawing of lots, using a method that ensures each of the tying candidates has an equal chance of success and witnessed by at least 1 person independent of the association. In the case of tied results for the open seat positions, the drawing of lots shall be used only when there are more tied candidates than seats available.

D. Questions for Candidates:

1. What are your qualifications for this position (including prior experience and participation in AoIR)?

2. Please describe two or three short-term goals you would like to achieve through membership on the executive (including a rationale for each and how you would contribute to their achievement).

3. What is your long-term vision for AoIR?

4. What else should voters consider when deciding whether or not to vote for you?

In answering the questions, please be concise and give information specific to the position for which you are nominating and which will permit voters to assess your case for election to that position.


In closing - please consider contributing your time and energy to making AoIR even better in the upcoming years! Many thanks in advance to all who will consider running and serving AoIR in this way.


Lori Kendall
Vice President, AoIR

Dear Madame Incoming and Esteemed:

In addition to our other important positions, I would like to propose AoIR
hold elections for Internet Cat Mascot. In accordance with our by-laws,
this would be an annual position, and the cats would answer the questions
below like anyone else would.

Naturally, since cats cannot yet write, their statements would be drafted
by those nominating. Whether or not anyone okays this, I will write a
statement for Maru. Andrew Herman does not yet know it, but he will
represent Lil Bub.

Friends in the gallery: Can we agree that this is a moment long overdue in
the history of an organization that does NOTHING but STUDY THE INTERNET?

Please, let's get some Internet cats up on this ballot.

Respectfully,
Terri

P.S. Anticipating questions about dogs: No.

Couldn't agree more... One of my cats can compose & send email, create (and delete!) Word files, and toggle the wifi on my laser printer to OFF (even with the manual I couldn't figure out how to undo that one). The other three cats seem uninterested in network activity. Surely that's worth studying. Cheese would be honored to have his issues represented by those esteemed colleagues mentioned below.

Symposium on Urban Informatics: Exploring Smarter Cities

Philadelphia PA | June 11, 2013
ExCITe Center | 3401 Market Street

http://ischool.drexel.edu/urbaninformatics

Registration is open and the program has been posted.

The symposium on Urban Informatics will bring together designers, city planners 
and managers, technologists, scholars and entrepreneurs in Philadelphia, at the 
heart of the U.S. northeast urban corridor, to explore the frontiers of the 
urban environment. The event will be hosted at the Expressive and Creative 
Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) research center on the Drexel University 
campus.

The opening plenary will be delivered by Dr. Keith Hampton and several panel 
discussions are planned that will bring together diverse perspectives on urban 
technologies. Participants will be encouraged to take time to form ad-hoc 
discussion groups throughout the day.

PLENARY BIO | After receiving his doctorate from University of Toronto in 
Sociology, Keith Hampton joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
faculty as the first professor of "technology and the city" in the Department 
of Urban Studies and Planning and later joined the Annenberg School for 
Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. He served as chair of the 
American Sociological Association's section on Communication and Information 
Technologies from 2007-2009, and past-chair from 2009-2010. Hampton is 
currently an associate professor of communication at Rutgers University's 
School of Communication.

Registration will close on May 15th.

Please contact Kris Unsworth at ku26 at drexel.edu with questions.


Hope to see you there!

Safety was hardly discussed in public; mostly only off list.  Here's a
short history of the public exchange between the subscribers and the
university, thus far:

  Subs.  When replying to messages sent via the list, I sometimes
         forget to hit "Reply to List".  Instead I hit "Reply to
         Sender".  When I realize my mistake, I must re-send my reply
         to the list.  What a nuisance!  How can we remedy this?

   Uni.  It's possible to alter the sender's Reply-To headers, making
         it *appear* as though the sender had requested replies to be
         sent to the list.  Then it no longer matters which button you
         press; your reply is directed to the list regardless.

  Subs.  Yes, let's do that!

   Uni.  But in our particular list, this may present a safety hazard
         to the public.  Also it requires inserting false information
         into the mail that technically verges on fraud.

  Subs.  (silence)

   Uni.  Did you hear what I said?

  Subs.  How dare you question our democratically reached decision!
         Did *you* not hear what *we* said?

This is perhaps a little unfair.  If a proper discussion had been held
beforehand, then nobody could have *reasonably* agreed to alter the
Reply-To headers without *first* refuting the public safety concerns.
But this was not done; instead there was a vote.  One subscriber even
called for the vote as a means to end the discussion.

And now, when the university is required to decide the matter, *again*
public discussion is to be curtailed?  That is fine, but remember that
reasonable arguments of public safety and wilful mis-information are
still standing.  They have hardly been addressed yet, let alone
refuted.

(Again, pending that decision, I recommend that the configuration be
returned to its default setting.  The default is strongly recommended
by the providers and its safety is unquestioned.)

actually, usually, email users are responsible for their use of email, on a
list or off, so they are responsible for knowing the settings and adapting
their behaviors to them.  the locus of action of the list is the user, the
administrator just sets the terms.

Charles,

With all due respect, dogs lost their chance at Internet supremacy when
they hitched their leashes to FidoNet.

Yosem,

May I briefly speak in reply?  I will not be joining the admin list,
as it's only by accident that I became involved in this.  Anyway, I'm
sorry to have given you the wrong impression, but you make some errors
in describing my actions and motivations, and I wish to correct them.

> Michael asked that the Program on Liberation Technology at Stanford
> University overrule the list vote over safety issues because he said
> the position created a potential legal liability for the university.

I did not ask the university to overrule the vote, but only to act in
the interests of public safety.  If public safety is best served by
upholding the vote, then that is O.K. by me.  Nor was I concerned with
the university's legal position.  It was the university's own staff
who invited me to off-list discussions, and the university's own staff
who expressed a concern about legal implications, and then referred
the matter to counsel.

The only issue I consider worth discussing in this connection is the
issue of public safety, especially the safety of innocent people who
are not party to these discussions, not connected with the university,
and not connected with the mailing list.  The argument (which I
seconded, but did not originate) is that the configuration of the list
places these people in some danger.  I felt that *their* concerns
ought to have a voice before a decision was made.  So this is what I
attempted to do; though maybe I didn't do a good job of it.

> Michael, however, insists that there are safety issues.  ...

Well, I have never *insisted* on that.  My crime was to ask whether or
not the safety concerns that were raised are valid, and I directed
this question to experts in particular.  But apparently the university
has already made a decision on the matter, so there's nothing further
anyone can contribute.  We can only hope that it's the right decision,
and that we acted rightly in it ourselves.

For those who understand German and are working with 'Digital Methods':

We'll have the (first?) German language Digital Methods conference in Vienna, 7-9 Nov 2013, organized by the CMC-section of DGPUK (German Society for Communication Research). It is titled "Innovative Methods for the study of Public Communication", and the Deadline for the CfP is 10 June.

The Call is in German only, but English submission and presentations are highly welcome and appreciated. However, most of the presentations will be in German (Thus, you might be bored at the conference if you don't understand German ;)

Dear Madame Incoming and Esteemed:

In addition to our other important positions, I would like to propose AoIR
hold elections for Internet Cat Mascot. In accordance with our by-laws,
this would be an annual position, and the cats would answer the questions
below like anyone else would.

Naturally, since cats cannot yet write, their statements would be drafted
by those nominating. Whether or not anyone okays this, I will write a
statement for Maru. Andrew Herman does not yet know it, but he will
represent Lil Bub.

Friends in the gallery: Can we agree that this is a moment long overdue in
the history of an organization that does NOTHING but STUDY THE INTERNET?

Please, let's get some Internet cats up on this ballot.

Respectfully,
Terri

May I respectfully add that this task is of paramount importance and cannot
be taken lightly. Especially because there are rumours that several
imposter cats, photoshop cats and shanzhai cats are already being produced
as possible 'fake' candidates for the position. It is necessary, perhaps,
to set up a steering committee to evaluate the authenticity of the nominees
and conduct a rigorous background check to make sure that the Hello Kitty
clones do not flood up the ballot.

I second this move and feel we should insist on all candidates being 
nail-printed for identity verification.
See the following reports about our modest attempt in capturing and 
analysing paradata of cats answering Web surveys to make sure they 
are not just nervously hitting keys with their tail.

Hello, Terri,
May I add a subcategory, of "AoIR" cat emeritus?  My cats George and Alice are no longer
with us, but they pre-dated the start of AoIR and followed its comings and goings along
with mine for most of its history.  I could include their qualifications in later phases of 
nomination procedures.  

Thank you for pointing out the gap in our electoral system.

cheers,
andee

Perhaps we could call the seat the "AIR Menagerie Representative-at-Large"[1] with a rotating two-year term, which cannot be filled by the same type of life form for two consecutive terms? That might be more inclusive while still allowing cats full opportunity?

[1] Formal title would be "Dean of the AOIR Animal Corps" for when they appear at the State of the Union speech.

@wm:  Love the FidoNet comment.  Ahhh the good ol' days.  :)

Message-ID: <C8BD370BE42EF544B5A8A81AEA9676AD3BB75BE9@BigThunder.catnet.arizona.edu>

Youth Activism Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Youth Activism Project<http://ypp.dmlcentral.net/content/youth-activism-project-yap>, housed in the School of Sociology at the University of Arizona<http://sociology.arizona.edu/>, invites applications for a one-year, renewable postdoctoral fellowship on youth and participatory politics to begin in Fall 2013. The Youth Activism Project, directed by Dr. Jennifer Earl<http://jearl.faculty.arizona.edu/>, is part of the MacArthur Network on Youth and Participatory Politics<http://ypp.dmlcentral.net/>. It is focused on youth engagement in protest, particularly online protest and flash activism.

The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for working with the PI to design and implement research studies related to overall project themes, including quantitative content coding of protest websites and analysis of this coding as well as interviews and focus groups with youth about online protest. Strong candidates will have research experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods, notable experience working in Stata or R, and be productive working in teams and independently. All candidates must have a Ph.D. in hand by the commencement of the fellowship and would preferably have received their Ph.D. within the past three years.

The School of Sociology at the University of Arizona is one of the best sociology programs in the country, consistently ranked among the top 20 Sociology programs in the United States for the past thirty years. It boasts a lively intellectual community and has played a pivotal role in the careers of many leading sociologists. Situated in the beautiful southwest in Tucson, the University of Arizona offers excellent benefits and Tucson offers a wonderful living experience. Competitive salary will be based on experience.

To apply, visit www.uacareertrack.com and apply for Job Number 52359. In addition to online forms, candidates must upload a letter of interest, c.v., (including the names of three references) and a research statement (see job ad for details).

The University of Arizona is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. Only complete applications will be considered.

Perhaps we could call the seat the "AIR Menagerie Representative-at-Large"[1] with a rotating two-year term, which cannot be filled by the same type of life form for two consecutive terms? That might be more inclusive while still allowing cats full opportunity?

[1] Formal title would be "Dean of the AOIR Animal Corps" for when they appear at the State of the Union speech.

Might I suggest a 'Birds of a Feather' session where folks can note their
favourite internet cat memes? And, perhaps discuss briefly what makes it
appealing to the internet audience (the lolz), and a view sentences from an
academic standpoint (the analysis)- whatever your discipline. Perhaps
something related to audience studies, or anthropomorphizing animals, or
cultural meaning, or social significance, or a network look at going
viral...the list is endless. Perhaps tie this into your nominations for a
mascot? 
Just a thought...

Hello everyone,

I am looking for papers/research on the emerging culture and technological infrastructure of sharing --- e.g., car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing, time banks, etc. Beyond journalistic accounts, I am not having much luck, so if anyone is aware of papers on the topic, I'd much grateful.

Many thanks in advance,
Jean-Fran?ois Blanchette

Dear list members,

Let me start by introducing myself - I am a linguistic anthropologist interested in how people use technology to mediate communication, collaboration, and community-building.  For more you can visit my website, below.

Here is my question:  I teach an upper-level undergraduate course on the "Anthropology of Virtual Communication" where students work on a semester-long research project, investigating the communicative practices of an online community.  Some of their research projects turn out really well.  Do you have suggestions for where they could publish their findings?  I would not say that their research is at the level of journals that faculty publish in, but I was wondering if there might journals for student publications.

Peace,
Christina

Emerging Learning Design is pleased to announce the new Journal of Emerging
Learning Design (ELDJ).


This journal is an outgrowth of the annual Emerging Learning Design
Conference, which makes its home at Montclair State University (MSU). The
journal will present best practices in technology design and implementation
by offering articles that propose or review how technology can further
enhance the pedagogy of engaging and dynamic approaches to learning.

Visti http://eldj.montclair.edu to find the inaugural issue of this journal
with the ensuing issue being made up of proceedings from the ELD Conference
this year on June 7, 2013.

The journal?s editor-in-chief is Cigdem Penbeci Talgar, Acting Director of
the Research Academy for University Learning and the managing editor is AJ
Kelton, Director of Emerging & Instructional Technology for the College of
Humanities and Social Sciences, both at MSU.

Registration for the Emerging Learning Design 2013 Conference is currently
open and can be found at http://eld.montclair.edu/registration/  So feel
free to share this email with your friends and colleagues.

The conference schedule can be found at http://eld.montclair.edu/schedule/

We are very much looking forward to the keynote presentation by our special
guest, Dr. Christopher Hoadley from New York University

The Death Of Content: Why Universities and Schools are (and aren?t) being
replaced by the Internet

In this talk, I argue that the current coin of the realm in
academia?content?is dying and that universities need to radically rethink
their role in the world. MOOCs, homeschooling, and the shadow education
system all are evidence that the 20th century role of schools is
decreasingly relevant. But does this mean that schools will become
obsolete? I argue that schools face a choice: use technology to enhance
their current functions but hasten their demise, or use technology to
transform themselves and capitalize on 17th century strengths to be a
cornerstone of the 21st century knowledge economy. I offer some ideas on
how to reconceptualize the notion of ?schools? based on the latest research
in learning and on ancient ideas about how to teach.

Dr. Chris Hoadley is associate professor in the Educational Communication
and Technology Program and the Program in Digital Media Design for
Learning. He has over 35 years of experience in designing, building, and
studying ways for computers to enhance collaboration and learning.
Currently his research focuses on collaborative technologies and computer
support for cooperative learning (CSCL). Hoadley is the director of
dolcelab, the Laboratory for Design Of Learning, Collaboration &
Experience. He is an affiliate scholar for the National Academy of
Engineering?s Center for the Advancement of Scholarship in Engineering
Education (CASEE) and was awarded a Fulbright for 2008-2009 in the South
Asia Regional program to study educational technologies for sustainability
and empowerment in rural Himalayan villages. Other interests include
research on and through design, systems for supporting social capital and
distributed intelligence, the role of informatics and digital libraries in
education, and science and engineering education. Hoadley previously
chaired the American Educational Research Association?s Special Interest
Group for Education in Science and Technology (now SIG: Learning Sciences),
and served as the first president of the International Society for the
Learning Sciences. Hoadley earned his baccalaureate in cognitive science
from MIT, and a masters in computer science and doctorate in education from
UC Berkeley. He previously taught at Stanford University, Mills College,
and Penn State University in education, computer science, and information
sciences.

Hi folks,
I'm happy to announce Rousiley Maia's new book, now available at hampton press -  http://www.hamptonpress.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc - and amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Deliberation-Political-International-Association-Communication/dp/1612890253
Though not directly related to internet studies, this is an interesting book for researchers interested in understanding the role of mass media in a variety of deliberative processes. 

See details attached. 
Best,

Deliberation, the Media and Political Talk Rousiley C.M. Maia

In recent years democratic theory has taken a deliberative turn and one central question that needs to be answered is how to connect face-to-face conversations and deliberations in particular forums to broader discussions in the larger society. Working within the cutting edges of deliberative theories, this book surveys the role of the mass media in the deliberative system and investigates, through a set of empirical cases, a range of key problems in the media arena: the interplay between arguing and strategic maneuvering; public demands for accountability; emotional appeal for deliberation; tensions between agonistic and diplomatic delib- eration; and the public construction of general claims. Adopting an integrative per- spective, this book also looks at how affected people use published opinions to make sense of politics and produce bottom-up reasons, in addition to media-driven or top-down discourses in the public sphere. The general aim of the book is to show that the mass media have an important place in deliberative democracy and to enrich political and media theories with new findings. 

INTRODUCTION. The Plan of this Book.

What Sort of Equality Is Needed for Deliberation? Is Deliberation Oriented Toward Simple Consensus, Defined as Unanimous Agreement?

2. FROM PUBLIC SPHERE TO DELIBERATIVE SYSTEM: LOCATING THE PLACE OF THE MEDIA. 
From Public Sphere to Deliberative System. Micro- or Macro-Deliberation? The Deliberative System.

3. THE NEWS MEDIA AS A FORUM FOR CIVIC DEBATE. 
The Media System. Different Kinds and Levels of Constraints Applied to the News Media as a Civic Forum. An Integrated Approach to the Media System.

4. MEDIATED DELIBERATION. 
What Is Mediated Deliberation? Variables to Observe and Measure in Evaluating Mediated Deliberation.


PART II: MEDIATED DELIBERATION

dear AoiR members

Please would you take a moment to read and support this petition - it is not just any general cause, but a case of a UK based PhD student who is also a colleague and a friend of mine, Sanaz Raj, who has been treated extremely unfairly by the Institute of Communication Studies at Leeds University. Her funding? was revoked and she was subjected to bullying and ongoing injustice. The link below provides a detailed account of the events. Personally, I can testify that Sanaz is a very talented and dedicated young scholar, who did not deserve the treatment she received (nor , of course, does any other student)

Subject: [Air-L] IR14.0 Travel Grant (Applications Due 14 July 2013)
Message-ID: <CAKxz=uB-H=mq_8_q_2MQHH84nN1mYra9RxNYDO+KJZENqY7BHw@mail.gmail.com>

In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR annual
Internet Research (IR) conferences, the Association of Internet
Researchers makes available up to four conference fee waivers and
travel stipends per year. In particular, we hope to help foster
participation by scholars from South America, Africa, and the Asia /
Pacific region. The number of fee waivers and travel stipends will
depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to
sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive
Committee upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local
organizing committee) as well as upon the quality of the applications
for fee waivers.

Applications for fee waivers are invited from student or faculty
authors whose paper or panel proposals have already been accepted via
the AoIR IR conference reviewing process. All applications should be
directed to the President of AoIR (Alex Halavais, prez at aoir.org), and
must be received by July 15, 2013. Late applications cannot be
considered.

Applications should be no longer than 2 pages, and must include the
following information:

1) A brief description of how the author?s presentation or
contribution to the AoIR IR conference will uniquely articulate and/or
represent a distinctive perspective (e.g., of persons and/or cultures)
otherwise unlikely to be represented at the annual AoIR Internet
Research conference.

2) An explanation of the author?s distinctive circumstances that would
warrant a fee waiver, and an indication that the applicant will be
able to make effective use of the funds. These may include, but are by
no means limited to:

* exceptionally limited financial resources (e.g., as a graduate
student or scholar in a non-OECD country, as a disabled person on a
limited income, etc.);

* exceptional limits on institutional support otherwise normally
available (e.g., travel funds, grant funds, etc.);

* other exceptional circumstances that render the usual AoIR IR
conference fees an insurmountable obstacle to attending the IR
conference in order to present one?s own work.

Applicants may also include a letter of support from someone familiar
with her / his circumstances, special needs, etc. Such a letter is
optional, however, not a requirement.

Applications will be reviewed by the AoIR Executive Committee. Fee
waivers and travel stipends of up to $500 will be awarded (to be paid
out after the conference) on the basis of the Executive Committee?s
collective judgment as to which presentations will make the most
distinctive contribution to the AoIR IR conference. In order to
respect and protect the privacy of the applicants, all Executive
Committee discussions and deliberations will be held in strict
confidence.

The AoIR Executive Committee regretfully acknowledges that there may
be more fully meritorious applications than we will be able to award
and support. Nonetheless, we hope that awarded fee waivers and travel
stipends will not only assist deserving scholars and researchers, but
also thereby enrich the IR 14.0 conference in important new ways.

Hi,

I'm in Athens doing some research and was interviewing some people from
RadioBubble (http://international.radiobubble.gr/), a non-profit web radio
station which is providing vital coverage of the crisis, the fascist
movement, and the antifascist movement.

They've kept some archives of a hashtag they use for gathering news,
#rbnews, but don't have the complete archives, and want them to use a basis
for writing an overview of the crisis.

Does anyone know how they could do this for free? Like most people in
Greece, radiobubble is hanging on by the skin of their teeth financially.

Thanks,
sky.

Hi Stacy,

#rbnews is very heavily used within Greece and the Greek diaspora, and even
then mostly within left-wing and perhaps centre-left circles. It plays an
important role in Greek news reporting (even outside radiobubble), but may
not be 'popular' in the broader sense.

They want the complete archives going back to the beginning of the
hashtag's use, and had heard that there were commercial services which may
be able to provide this. I thought perhaps some people here who are using
these services for research could help.

Eugenia, does the export function work just for your own account or could
you do it for a hashtag also?

Thanks,
sky.

CALL FOR PAPERS, ABSTRACTS, POSTERS, DEMOS, WORKSHOPS & TUTORIALS
=========================================================================================

We are pleased to invite you to the Academic MindTrek conference, 1st ? 4th October 2013, 
which brings together a cross-disciplinary crowd of people to investigate current and 
emerging topics of media in many facets. The conference explores academically the emerging 
and frontier-breaking applications of new media in everyday contexts of leisure, business 
and organizational life. October 2nd will be the main Academic MindTrek day with other 
sessions on the preceding and following days. Due to increasing popularity of the conference, 
we are extending the scope of Academic MindTrek 2013! 

The academic conference features six major themes:
* Social Media
* Ambient & Ubiquitous Media
* Business & Media
* Human-Computer Interaction (new track!)
* Open Source
* Digital Games
* ICT & E-Government

=========================================================================================
Why to Participate?
========================================================================================= 
The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference, where the Academic MindTrek 
conference has been a part of this unique set of events comprising competitions, world 
famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It 
is a meeting place where researchers, experts and thinkers present results from their latest 
work regarding the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information society:
* Real chance for media enthusiasts to think outside the box
* Brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that are involved 
  in the development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and the economy to 
  technology
* The highest ranked papers will be published in academic journals (e.g. in 2012 we published 
  a selected set of articles in ACM Computers in Entertainment, Electronic Markets ? The 
  International Journal on Networked Business, and the International Journal of Ambient 
  Computing and Intelligence.
* Provides a chance to learn from the vast media genre at large
* Allows participants to exchange views with cross-disciplinary experts
* Aims to provide insights about the convergence of the various media and the future of media
* High-level keynote speakers. A few examples from previous years: Keith Partridge, Tomi T. Ahonen 
  (Consultant), Latif Ladid (IPV6 Forum), Beat Schwegler (Microsoft), Cinzia dal Zotto (Univ. of 
  Neuchatel), Ari Ojansivu (Google), Ramine Darabiha (Rovio), Molly R?nge (Crowdculture), Slava 
  Kozlov (Philips Design), Dave Nielsen (CloudCamp), Janne J?rvinen (F-Secure), Olavi Toivainen 
  (Nokia), Herbert Snorrason (OpenLeaks), Tuija Aalto (YLE), Juha Kaario (Varaani), among many 
  others. Also this year we are preparing a wide set of invited speakers & keynotes.

Social Media
=========================================================================================
?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both 
in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional 
communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed 
in the collaborative, interactive media space.
 
Ambient and Ubiquitous Media
=========================================================================================
?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and 
ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology, 
art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services, 
ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, 
the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick.

Media Business, Media Production and Media Management
=========================================================================================
Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of 
digital media and focuses on leadership practices, business models and value chains. 
It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional 
media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business 
and media management issues.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
=========================================================================================
The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities, 
consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access, 
ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, 
interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes 
to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with 
several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience.

Open Source
=========================================================================================
The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open 
source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. 
On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new 
business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new 
kinds of technical and non-technical challenges.

Digital Games
=========================================================================================
The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current 
trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to 
social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical 
works, empirical case studies and constructive projects.

ICT & E-Government
=========================================================================================
In recent years, ICT has played a pivotal role in the development of digital economy. 
This technology facilitates the rapid accumulation and dissemination of information, 
group interaction, communication, and collaboration. ICT has become one of the core 
elements of managerial reform around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 and 
emergence of ICT infrastructure, processes and policies many governments and public 
officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, and with organizations 
and citizens. 

Demonstrations
=========================================================================================
The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the 
communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations 
is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media 
demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community, 
industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects 
with a practical implementation.
 
Special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and 
multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. 
Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference 
tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The 
Academic MindTrek registration includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and 
social gatherings.

Subject: [Air-L] Pew: Digital Civic Engagement report,
	"who's missing" analysis
Message-ID: <CALAwQWp46F8toqd=iKfe=Epkk3P-xw8Y8qyBRJZiVKmh3wRQ+Q@mail.gmail.com>

PewInternet.org just put out one of the most important survey reports
in the e-democracy/open government field in about five years.

Here is my in-depth "inclusion" analysis and commentary:
    http://bitly.com/pewcivic

Please share on Twitter and Facebook if so inspired.

Direct to the report:

Civic Engagement in the Digital Age
    http://bit.ly/15QZUPK

Let's talk about it on Twitter with #pewcivic hashtag. What is your
big takeaway?
   https://twitter.com/search?q=%23PewCivic&src=hash


Here is the beginning of my summary:
    http://bitly.com/pewcivic

The new must-read Civic Engagement in the Digital Age study by the Pew
Internet and American Life Project makes it clear to me:

 Accepting ?politics as usual? means those who already show up in
political life continue to dominate online. Closing the digital civic
engagement divide is a challenge for our generation to solve.

Every few years, like their Neighbors Online report, the Pew Internet
and American Life project releases game changing numbers that help us
re-calibrate our priorities and investments to build civic and
democratic good.

Quick Numbers

After many hours of pouring through the report, these are the numbers
that stood out to me.

Good: 49% of all adults participated in online ?civic communication?
and/or are a ?political social networking site? user in 2012

10% only did online ?civic communication? (34% total)

16% only were political sns users (39% total)

23% did both

More on the political sns users below ? Report author Aaron Smith sent
us the breakdown above and other tidbits which are not detailed in the
main report.

Bad: Huge online civic communication gap based on income - Households
over 75K at 47%+, 20K to under 30K only 24% ? Almost half the
participation rate participating civically online, report shows huge
education gaps as well

Really Bad: Whites 38% compared to Blacks at 23% and Latinos at 17% ?
Action oriented online civic communication helps citizens have a
voice, power, and influence in democracy

Bad Foundation: For offline ?civic communication? Whites 43%, Blacks
31%, Latinos 26% - Survey does find better Black ? White racial equity
with direct involvement in offline civic groups/activities. It is
essential to point out that many differences in race are more related
to income and education levels than anything else ? but the impact is
that same, important voices are not being heard.

Clift Notes: Everything about the Internet, from raising voices to
organizing to information access to convenience, makes it a great
equalizer for democratic participation. Today with far greater
minority access to the Internet, why is the civic communication gap
larger online than offline?

The online gap based on race is 3% larger for Blacks and 4% for Latinos.

What is it about the design, technical assumptions, perceived
relevancy, marketing, and inclusive outreach with online civic
engagement that is not working make democracy stronger and more
equitable? Why are the clear democratic benefits of the digital age
not leading to a more representative and participatory democracy for
all? If we seek to engage not just more people from a small pool of
the most educated and wealthier citizens, but instead want this
digital opportunity to provide more democratic opportunity for all, we
are going in the wrong direction.

I think perhaps the problem was that there was no real logical/theoretical link between say being on Facebook and choosing a cookie over a granola bar. ?It might have been because Facebook users have less self-control or self-regulation, but it also might have been more associative. ?Perhaps people tend to watch or read CNN more in the morning when they grab a Granola bar for nutrition while they check their Facebook later at night when they are more likely to indulge in comfort food like cookies. ?Or perhaps people who read Facebook just like cookies more. ?I got the sense that the researchers were trying to do something akin to the marshmallow study (which has its own interpretive issues) but were not quite as clear on a causal mechanism. ?




The later correlation between Facebook and higher debt also seemed somewhat problematic to me. ?I think you could do a study that men who watch Football tend to be heavier drinkers than men who watch CNN (well these days maybe not) - but are they heavier drinkers because they watch football more?




Anyway that is my take on the difficulties with the study, maybe others have another view. ?

I too see the jump to cookies and debt as problematic. There also seems to be  an embedded value system here--*indulgent* and *impulsive* are the cookie eaters. 

Study three makes big claims with a sample of only 84.

Study 1 is sound--talk with your friends and you'll feel better about yourself, which is why we have friends, isn't it?

Study 2 sounds a bit tautological.

SNs increase self-esteem, when you concentrate on self-presentation. Increase in the likelihood of narcissism?

Ms Lattimore

thanks for the followup and your thoughts.

I've mostly given up trying to figure out why people do the research they 
do, and I've seen a lot worse papers in 45 years of refereeing.

We agree that the media almost always oversimplify, and don't know the 
difference between causation and correlation -- nor such things as biased 
samples. (I note the sample was not really described.)

Back to doing research

Subject: [Air-L] Trust in online environments - interdisciplinary faculty
 and PhD workshops - University of Oslo
Message-ID: <CDA67018.5E324%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIRists,

Please cross-post and distribute as appropriate:

        Faculty workshop ? PhD workshop ? Public Debate
Whom ? and what ? can you trust in online / mediated environments?
Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Philosophy, Computer Science, Media
Studies.
September 26-27, 2013: Department of Media and Communication, University of
Oslo.

Lecturers / mentors:
Dag Elgesem, University of Bergen
James Moor, Dartmouth College
Judith Simon,University of Vienna &, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,
Elisabeth Staksrud, University of Oslo
Mariarosaria Taddeo, University of Warwick
Herman Tavani, Rivier University, New Hampshire
John Weckert, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, Australia

Background / description:
James Moor?s seminal paper, ?What is Computer Ethics?? (1985), inaugurated a
new generation of interdisciplinary reflection on how computing technologies
evoked distinctive new ethical challenges.? These challenges are often quite
novel ? and their roots in specific technologies thus require equally novel
and collaborative reflection across the otherwise diverse disciplines of
philosophy, applied ethics, computer science, social science, and so on.

Especially over the past decade, increasing attention has been given to
questions of trust and privacy in online and mediated environments.  These
questions are complicated by important differences between face-to-face and
online/mediated experiences of trust and privacy - and further complicated
by the increasingly important roles of Artificial Agents (AAs) and
Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) such as those at work in ?recommendations for
you? on commercial websites, web-page ranking algorithms used in popular
search engines, and so on. At the same time, AAs and MASs are becoming
increasingly autonomous ? capable of making decisions independently of human
control. Such autonomy raises centrally philosophical questions:? Are such
AAs and MASs further capable of making autonomous ethical judgments ?
including the specific sort of judgment denoted by phronesis or ?practical
wisdom??? And: how would we know if we can or should trust these agents ?
precisely as they become increasingly indispensible to our lives?

Our lecturers / mentors have each undertaken leading work in these domains,
both within philosophically-grounded and -oriented reflection (J. Moor, J.
Simon, M. Taddeo, H. Tavani) and within the contexts of online and mediated
communication environments (D. Elgesem, E. Staksrud, C.Ess).
Our faculty and PhD workshops are designed to further important dialogue and
debate, and foster current doctoral research in these domains.  The public
debate will offer highlights of current insights and findings, along with
critical discussion of our defining themes and questions.

For more details, including registration procedures, please see the
workshops / lecture website.

Background
Especially over the last decade or so, both social science and humanistic
research have recognized the emergence of ?the relational self,? as fostered
by Internet-facilitated modes and venues of communication ? most especially
social media.?
Understanding how far our conceptions of selfhood may be changing in Western
societies ? broadly, from more individual to more relational, and, perhaps,
from more rational to more emotive ? is critical, especially as these
changes seem further tied to
* changing circumstances of socialization and togetherness in everyday life,
and interweaving of different networks of affiliation that is associated
with networked media for personal communication (cf. Rainie & Wellman,
2012); 
* changing methodologies and approaches to research designed to better tease
out and explore the multiple dimensions of relationality;
* changing sensibilities and expectations regarding privacy and notions of
privatlivet and the (proper) boundaries of our intimsf?re (intimate sphere),
and thereby 
* possible coherencies and/or conflicts with current research ethics codes
and law, e.g., expected changes in EU data privacy protection law that
increases individual privacy protections, but may remain silent regarding
privacy and other protections for close relationships such as are already
encoded, for example in the NESH 2006 guidelines (Norway) as already more
relationally oriented.

The workshop addresses theories of relational selfhood; research
methodologies as retuned to such selfhood; and new research ethics questions
evoked by changing senses of selfhood and thus privacy expectations.

Subject: [Air-L] Internet Studies: Perspectives on a Developing Field - new
 publication
Message-ID: <CDA67A33.5E339%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIRists,

On behalf of the co-editors and the authors whose work is gathered in this
special issue of new media and society, I'm very happy to call your
attention to the recent online publication of the Introduction:

Internet Studies: Perspectives on a rapidly developing field
Charles Ess, William Dutton
doi: 10.1177/1461444812462845
New Media & Society, April 29, 2013

<http://nms.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/04/24/1461444812462845.full>

To quote from the introduction - which is available as a free download -

We have organized the contributions to this issue such that they flow across
four general areas. The first focuses on the field as a whole, and is filled
by our lead article, by Tai-Quan Peng, Lun Zhang, Zhijin Zhong and Jonathan
JH Zhu, ?Mapping the landscape of Internet Studies: Text mining of social
science journal articles 2000?2009?. We then shift focus to specific
Perspectives from Different Arenas, beginning with Jingyan (Elaine) Yuan?s
?A culturalist critique of ?online community? in new media studies?,
followed by Heidi Campbell?s ?Religion and the Internet as a microcosm for
studying trends and implications within Internet Studies?, then an article
by Jessie Daniels, ?Race and racism in Internet Studies?, and Michel van
Eeten and Milton Mueller?s ?Where is the governance in Internet
governance??. The next set of articles focus more on Methodological
Perspectives, beginning with Juliette De Maeyer?s ?Towards a hyperlinked
society: A critical review of link studies?, followed by Niels Br?gger?s
?Web historiography and Internet Studies: Challenges and perspectives?. The
two final articles are both tied to Critical Perspectives on User
Empowerment, a cross-cutting theme of Internet research across various
research arenas. Anja Bechmann and Stine Lomborg?s article is entitled
?Mapping actor roles in social media: Different perspectives on value
creation in theories of user participation?, and this is followed by
Christian Fuchs and Nick Dyer-Witheford?s challenge to Internet Studies,
entitled ?Karl Marx @ Internet Studies?.

We conclude with a more general account of what we have learned about this
evolving field from this special issue in light of work on our respective
handbooks.

Several of the articles are already published online; the print version of
the complete issue will appear later this year.

We would also like to express our gratitude to numerous reviewers and to
editors Steve Jones and Nickolas Jankowski for their constant support and
assistance in developing and bringing this special issue to fruition.

Enjoy!

Hi Satarupa, 

Our work wasnt related to social/protest movements, but we conducted a study looking at tweets related to concussion in sport and used basic content analysis on the tweets we retrieved:

Dear Scholars,

I am conducting research on the social media (Twitter) discourses of the
Anna Hazare anti-corruption movement in India. I have a corpus of tweets
collected during five days that are significant for the movement. I would
highly appreciate any recommendations for literature on qualitative
(thematic/discourse/content) analysis of Twitter data, especially in the
context of a social/protest movement.

Please feel free to write to me off the list if you have any questions.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Terri,

there is a wonderful card game on Privacy that 
can be used for education. And the good thing is, 
there is an online version on this, played via 
Facebook.

You can learn more about the online game here: 
http://www.open.edu/openlearn/privacy

For the card game you have to approach 
david.barnard-wills at trilateralresearch.com - you 
was involved in conceptualising the game in the 
first place.

I will test this game with students and 
highschool pupils to see whether it can be used 
for education during this spring. I will let you 
know if and how it works.

best wishes

nilz

Call for Papers: Media, Religion and In/vulnerability 

Proposed Panel at CRESC Annual Conference (SOAS, London, September 4-6 2013)

Abstract Deadline: April 8 2013

The Mediating Religion Network invites proposals for papers on the topic of ?Media, Religion and In/vulnerability?. Mediating Religion aims to contribute several panel sessions at the 2013 Annual Conference of the Centre for Research into Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC). This year?s CRESC conference title is In/vulnerabilities and Social Change: Precarious Lives and Experimental Knowledge, and we are convinced that scholars of religion and media can make a valuable contribution to academic discussion of this important theme. Mediating Religion hopes to publish these presentations as a special issue of a peer-reviewed academic journal. 

The CRESC Annual Conference Call for Papers can be found here: http://www.cresc.ac.uk/events/cresc-annual-conference. The conference focuses on ?the relationship between vulnerability and invulnerability?, including the precarious lives of the majority and the precarious knowledge and status of religious, political and media elites.

Religion and media constitute intertwined sites and occasions for the formation of social relations and connectivities marked by persistent and novel vulnerabilities and invulnerabilities. But what are the conditions that make such relations and connectivities on the one hand durable, strong and powerful or on the other, vulnerable, precarious and risky? 

Contributions may take historical and/or ethnographic perspectives and may approach the concept of media broadly to include either a direct focus on specific media (e.g., print or digital) and religion (e.g., religious broadcasting) or a wider theoretical focus on mediation as a problematic of social theory in which religion and its (in)vulnerability to processes of rapid social change is a recurring question.

Proposals for papers should include a title, a 200-word abstract and a very brief statement of the applicant?s affiliation and research interests. We would like to keep a focus around issues of blame and trust in our explorations of in/vulnerabilities. 

Submissions should be sent to Dr Tim Hutchings (CRESC Research Fellow) at tim.hutchings at open.ac.uk. Feel free to contract Tim or Marie Gillespie (marie.gillespie at open.ac.uk) to discuss paper proposals. Deadline for Proposals - April 8th 2013.

Call for Papers: "Digital Media and Sacred Text", June 17, Open University (Camden, London)

Keynote speaker: Professor Heidi Campbell

This one-day conference will bring together academics interested in the study of religion and digital text from a wide range of religious traditions, including sociologists, ethnographers, media scholars, computer scientists and digital humanists. We also welcome religious practitioners and publishers engaged in creating digital sacred texts. 

Possible topics include:

-         How can digital media affect the relationship between a religious reader and their sacred text?
-         Does digitisation influence the interpretation of a text?
-         Can digitisation impact structures of religious authority? 
-         What norms are emerging to guide the use of digital sacred texts, and how are those norms being negotiated?
-         How can digital sacred texts be designed to meet the needs of religious readers?
-         What challenges does the process of digitizing sacred text raise for religious communities?

If you would like to present a paper at this event, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words by April 15th to Tim Hutchings (tim.hutchings at open.ac.uk).

Thanks to generous funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, we are able to offer a small number of bursaries to cover travel expenses for PhD students.

Subject: [Air-L] Governing Algorithms - Conference at New York University -
	May 16-17, 2013

GOVERNING ALGORITHMS
A conference on computation, automation, and control

New York University
May 16-17, 2013

Algorithms are increasingly invoked as powerful entities that control,
govern, sort, regulate, and shape everything from financial trades to news
media. Nevertheless, the nature and implications of such orderings are far
from clear. What exactly is it that algorithms ?govern?? What is the role
attributed to ?algorithms? in these arguments? Can we turn the ?problem of
algorithms? into an object of productive inquiry?

This conference sets out to explore the recent rise of algorithms as an
object of interest in scholarship, policy, and practice beyond computer
science. Taking a fresh view on the current wave of interest in this topic,
we aim to discuss themes such as:

* the very idea of ?algorithms? as a subject and object of analysis
* issues of methodology and the kind of knowledge claims that come with
algorithms
* the rhetoric of problems and solutions, success and failure
* questions of agency, accountability, and automation
* secrecy, obscurity, inscrutability
* rules, regulations, resistance

Speakers include: Lucas Introna, Tarleton Gillespie, Evgeny Morozov, Daniel
Neyland, Frank Pasquale, Claudia Perlich, Robert Tarjan as well as Mike
Annany, Kate Crawford, Lisa Gitelman, Moritz Hardt, Matthew Jones, Karrie
Karahalios, and Martha Poon.

Everyone is welcome, but registration is required:
http://governingalgorithms.org/registration/

Organizing committee:
Solon Barocas, Sophie Hood, Helen Nissenbaum, Malte Ziewitz

The conference is supported by the Intel Science & Technology Center for
Social Computing, the Information Law Institute at NYU School of Law, and
the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.

Subject: [Air-L]  Audiovisual Thinking issue #5 is now available
Message-ID: <CAO7hG2nApsPhVG-nPW7r06pUjBgOC-Bq-Z91-LHxPE_g0vmHWw@mail.gmail.com>

Audiovisual Thinking issue #5 on the theme of Audiovisual learning 2.0 is
now available on wwww.audiovisualthinking.org.



The call for submissions for issue#6 on The Visuality of Security is still
open and closes on the 15th April 2013.


What is Audiovisual Thinking?

Audiovisual Thinking is a peer reviewed academic online journal and
pioneering forum where academics, practitioners and educators can
articulate, conceptualize and disseminate their research about audiovisual
culture through video.

International in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, the purpose of
Audiovisual Thinking is to develop and promote academic thinking in and
about all aspects of audiovisuality and audiovisual culture. Advised by a
board of leading academics and thinkers in the fields of audiovisuality,
communication and the media and hosted by Copenhagen University, the
journal seeks to set the standard for academic audiovisual essays now and
in the future. We study, teach and research the moving image, media and
audiovisuality, yet we rarely mediate in these same forms and media.
Audiovisual Thinking hopes to change this.

Video submissions are welcome from all fields of study and, as one would
expect, the main criteria for submissions are that the discussion and
thinking are conveyed through audiovisual means.

Please visit us on www.audiovisualthinking.org to watch academic videos and
submit your own.

Dear Dr. Forno,

I am preparing a blog post on the common assumptions behind the Coburn
amendment and MOOC madness, and I found  your comments below very useful in
conceptualizing my argument. I would like to directly quote and cite you in
the post. Would that be alright with you? And, if so, should I link to your
infowarrior.org site so my readers can find you? If this is not something
you are interested in, I will instead paraphrase you anonymously, but I
would much rather give you credit!

Thanks for your consideration,

Quantifying Politics Using Online Data
Special Issue -- Social Science Computer Review Journal

https://sites.google.com/site/qpol2013

Submission deadline:  July 7, 2013  (Abstracts: June 1)
Submission website:https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpol2013


Large web-based datasets make possible political studies at a scale inconceivable just a few decades before. Everything from personal opinions to popular political movements leaves a footprint online, and provides a first-hand account of both everyday and historic events. This new data also calls for new approaches -- quantitative methods developed in the realms of political and social science, but also in data analysis and mining. Applied to online data, these make possible language modeling, topic tracking, novelty detection, social network mining, and many more types of analyses, all providing new insights into the social and political realities. This special issue focuses on the application of quantitative methods in political analysis of online data. The sources of such data may be, but are not limited to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, news comments, Wikipedia edits, discussion forums, blogs, etc.

Social Science Computer Review (SSCR) is an interdisciplinary journal covering social science instructional and research applications of computing, as well as societal impacts of information technology.

Hi, Satarupa.

My colleague Joel Penney and I have an article forthcoming in the next
issue of New Media and Society about the use of Twitter in Occupy Wall
Street. While we did not analyze specific tweets (our data derived from
interviews with OWS participants), hopefully parts of it will be useful to
you. An advance copy of the article is available through this link, if you
have access to Sage publications.

Best,
Caroline

Hi everyone. What a great Q Satarupa!

I have an article that was recently published online first (upcoming in print) in a special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist edited by Zeynep Tufekci and Deen Freelon explored the possibilities of learning about the Occupy Wall Street movement through the #OWS hashtag. 

I'm attaching the link to the article as well. Thanks to Caroline and Joel for passing on their article about OWS, I can't wait to read it :)

Here's mine: http://intl-abs.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/03/15/0002764213479372.abstract

Subject: [Air-L] digitalSTS Workshop: Call for Applications (due April 8th,
	2013)
Message-ID: <E83CD273-D310-421C-91DA-3C8B99FF8CDA@columbia.edu>

Apologies for X-posting.

Dear Colleagues,

Following upon the success of last year?s digitalSTS event at the 4S Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, we invite your participation in a second workshop. Over the course of two days this summer (June 27-28, 2013) we will use design methods to explore new hybrid forms of materiality in technoscience. This is an opportunity to learn new skills or lead others in making visualizations, maps, models, and data documentaries.

Across domains of science and technology studies, increased attention is being focused on the material dimensions of digital media. Indeed, scholars convened around social studies of materiality are seeking out new methods to study the stuff of ?big data,? ?information infrastructures,? and the ?internet of things.? Moreover, these new phenomena are understood as hybrids, merging digital and non-digital practices that resist simple analysis. We see productive means of engaging with hybrid forms of materiality in the interpretive, collaborative, and interventionist approaches pioneered by designers including codesign, participatory design, design fiction, speculative design, and critical making. Design is particularly relevant to digital studies; through making, it is possible to become a participant in the otherwise opaque technical work of constructing data and other digital artifacts.

The workshop will be staged at Harvard University?s Arnold Arboretum, one of the most comprehensive and best-documented living collections of trees, shrubs, and vines in the world. The Arboretum is equal parts urban forest, museum, and open laboratory. It is a venerable and sprawling site for the public display of scientific objects and knowledge. Workshop participants will take part in hands-on, team-based design projects that leverage the collection?s digital data as well as their woody referents in the landscape. Please join us at this second digitalSTS workshop to explore new tools for taking apart technoscience.

To apply for a spot in the digitalSTS Workshop, please submit the following materials to digitalsts at zoho.com

1. A 1-paragraph biography

2. A 1-2 paragraph statement of interest in design methods and digital STS

3. A link to your online presence

The application deadline is APRIL 8th, 2013. Participants will be notified soon after the deadline as to the status of their application. We encourage submissions by anyone engaged in digital studies of science and technology. Support for travel and accommodations may be available to graduate students.


This workshop is hosted in cooperation with metaLAB(at)Harvard and the Arnold Arboretum, and supported by funds and in-kind contributions from metaLAB, the Arboretum, NSF?s Office for Cyberinfrastructure, and Microsoft Research. More information is available at: http://digitalsts.wordpress.com.

Please feel free to pass this e-mail on to other scholars, designers, scientists, writers, bloggers, museum curators, researchers, journalists, filmmakers, colleagues, graduate students, faculty administrators, departments, and other professionals who might be interested.


Kind regards,

Yanni Loukissas, metaLAB/Graduate School of Design, Harvard University

I (sorta) maintain a bibliography of Twitter research at: http://www.danah.org/researchBibs/twitter.php

Anyone can add their own research to the list by clicking "submit new citation" on the upper right corner.  I'd strongly welcome/encourage folks to submit their work because lots of researchers from different fields visit this site pretty regularly. 

The articles on this list cover a lot of ground, far beyond qualitative analysis, but there's a lot of material there that's qualitative too.  

I hope that this helps!

Dear Satarupa,

I recently published a book, Twitter: Social Communication in the Twitter Age (Polity Press, 2013) which may be helpful for you. http://amzn.to/VNrgNn 

It has both qualitative and quantitative chapters about Twitter. It has a qualitative chapter on social movements and Twitter as well!

Regards,
Dhiraj

Subject: [Air-L] 2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies (DSST)
 Summer Institute
Message-ID: <06166848-21B5-40BB-9233-8C688D106992@umd.edu>

2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies (DSST) Summer Institute
(a joint effort of the Consortium for Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST) and the Summer Social Webshop)

July 28 ? August 1, 2013
University of Maryland -- College Park, Maryland USA

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 5, 2013  

MOOCs, Education and learning; personal health and well-being; open innovation, eScience, and citizen science; co-production, open source, and new forms of work; cultural heritage and information access; energy management and climate change; civic hacking, engagement and government; disaster response; cybersecurity and privacy ? these are just a few problem domains where effective design and robust understanding of complex sociotechnical systems is critical.  To meet these challenges a trans-disciplinary community of scholars has come together from fields as wide ranging as CSCW, HCI, social computing, organization studies, information visualization, social informatics, sociology, information systems, medical informatics, computer science, ICT for development, education, learning science, journalism, and political science.

Through summer institutes (CSST), extended workshops (Social Webshop), preconference workshops at a wide variety of venues, and other activities (Digital Societies and Technology Research Coordination Network) this community of researchers from academia and industry has developed a strong focus on problems and opportunities arising from the interplay of social and technological systems which span individuals, groups, organizations, and societies.

The 2013 Summer Institute builds on this tradition to strengthen and expand this diverse community by bringing together graduate students, post doctoral students, faculty, and other researchers in four groups at the University of Maryland, College Park on July 28-August 1:

Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers ? Through mentoring, peer networking, and skill-building tutorials, doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers will identify substantive ways that the theories, approaches, and tools within the larger community can advance their work with the design and study of sociotechnical systems.

Established researchers ? Prior summer institute/workshop participants and established researchers will network with other researchers (senior and junior), explore ideas and new directions, shape emerging research agendas, articulate critical challenges, and share knowledge about practices, tools, and approaches which have the potential to advance the design and study of sociotechnical systems.

Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams ? Nascent groups of researchers seeking to develop cross-disciplinary collaborations will work with peers and mentors to refine problem statements and research goals; connect with collaborators with complementary skills and interests; and create actionable research agendas and funding proposals.  Preference will be given to groups interested in designing and studying sociotechnical systems that address societal grand challenges such as (but not limited to) healthcare; energy management and climate change; cybersecurity and privacy; education and learning; disaster response; technology development and innovation; economic development and work; and civic engagement and participation.

Research infrastructure development teams ? Groups of researchers interested in creating computational or analytic tools, data resources, training materials or other infrastructure to support the design and study of sociotechnical systems will work with one another, other Summer institute participants, and local developers.  These infrastructure ?hackathon? sessions will result in the creation of use cases, prototypes, draft materials, and when possible deployable systems and resources.

APPLYING FOR DSST 2013

Applications are encouraged from all academic, industry, NGO, and public sector organizations worldwide.  To apply for the 2013 Summer Institute, select the group that best fits your needs and situation and send the appropriate materials to the Summer Institute co-coordinator (Brian Butler) at bsbutler at umd.edu by April 5th, 2013: 

* Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty, and early career researchers should send their CV and a short (~ 1 page) response to: ?How does/will your work advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems??  Several core references should be included to situate your work within the larger research community.  Doctoral students should also provide a letter of recommendation from their advisor/department chair indicating their expected graduation date.

* Established researchers should send their CV and a short (~ 1 page) response to:  ?What are the most interesting challenges and opportunities related to the design and study of critical sociotechnical systems?  What activity (30 minutes to 4 hours long) could you run that would help the Summer Institute participants better engage these challenges and opportunities??  Proposed activities can be for any (or all) Summer Institute participants and might include, but are not limited to: focused presentations; brainstorming sessions; in-depth problem descriptions; method, tool, or data tutorials; or research agenda setting exercises.  

* Emerging multi-disciplinary research teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (~ 1 page) response to:  ?What is the research focus/problem domain?  What types of activities/studies are needed to engage that domain?  How will pursuing this agenda help advance our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? References potential funding sources can be included, if known, to situate the proposal within the larger research community.  Groups invited to the Summer Institute will have between 4-6 people.  However, only 3 individuals need to be part of an application for it to be considered (assistance will be provided prior to the Summer Institute to help invited teams recruit additional participants as needed).  Preference will be given to cross-institutional teams in which junior/mid-career researchers play significant leadership roles.   

* Research infrastructure development teams should apply as a group, sending their CVs and a short (~ 1 page) response to:   ?What is the problem you are seeking to address?  What will you do to address that problem?  How will creating these technologies, tools, materials or infrastructure improve our ability to design and understand critical sociotechnical systems?? References to examples from other domains can be included to situate your proposal.  Teams invited for the Summer Institute will have between 4-6 people from multiple disciplines and institutions.  However, only 3 individuals need to be part of an application to be considered (assistance will be provided prior to the Summer Institute to help invited teams recruit additional participants as needed).

Lodging, meals, and other onsite costs will be covered for all Summer Institute participants.  Limited travel support is available, if needed, for participants from US and Canadian institutions (with preference given to doctoral and post-doctoral students). Travel support may also be available for other Summer Institute participants. To be considered for all available financial support you should provide the following information when you apply:
* What college, university, or organization are you affiliated with?
* What is your primary department affiliation?
* If you are applying from a Canadian university, are you a member of the GRAND network?

Materials should be sent to Summer Institute co-coordinator (Brian Butler) at bsbutler at umd.edu by April 5th, 2013.  Applications will be reviewed by the Summer Institute Advisory Group beginning April 6th, 2013 using the following criteria:   
* Clear articulation of the hoped-for contribution to the theory, practice, or design of sociotechnical systems
* Likelihood of Summer Institute participation providing significant practical benefit for the individual/team
* Contribution to a balanced and diverse group of participants
The number of participants selected will depend on the available funding and the fit between applicants? interests and goals. 

For more information about the Summer Institute, contact the Summer Institute co-coordinators, Brian Butler (bsbutler at umd.edu) and Susan Winter (sjwinter at umd.edu).  For information about the broader community of researchers interested in design and study of sociotechnical systems, see:  CSST (www.sociotech.net), Social Webshop (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/webshop2012/), the "Researchers of the Socio-Technical" Facebook group, or the CSST listserv (csst at listserv.syr.edu).

Subject: [Air-L] 5 PhD positions, University of Tampere
Message-ID: <016f01ce2f90$43e59ac0$cbb0d040$@uta.fi>

Dear Colleagues,

Hopefully you can help us in spreading the word: The School where our Game
Research Lab is located has opened a call for five PhD positions (1-4
years), and we are of course interested to see good applications from those
working on game and internet studies areas. - Frans


The School of Information Sciences (SIS) at the University of Tampere
invites applications for FIVE DOCTORAL STUDENT POSITIONS. The positions are
for a fixed-term of one to four years. Successful candidates may accept the
position by 1 August 2013 at the earliest.

Successful candidates will pursue a doctoral degree in one of the doctoral
programmes of the School of Information Sciences at the University of
Tampere. More information about the three doctoral programmes of the School
of Information Sciences can be found at the School's website. Full-time
doctoral studies are expected to be completed in four years. Fixed-term
contracts can be drawn up for a period of one to four years; the length of
the contract depends on how far along in their studies the successful
candidates are and when they expect to graduate.

The personal study and supervision plans of doctoral students define the
terms of their dissertation work and are used to monitor their progress
annually. The personal study and supervision plan includes a detailed annual
working schedule.

In addition to the dissertation work, doctoral students teach or participate
in other tasks connected to their studies at the School. These duties must
equal to a maximum of five per cent of total working hours.

Successful candidates must have a higher university degree, be currently
pursuing a doctoral degree in one of the School?s doctoral programmes and
have their study and research plan approved, before writing the contract. If
the candidate does not have a right to pursue a doctoral degree at the
School of Information Sciences, the candidate must  apply it at the same
time when applying for the salaried doctoral student position.

Successful candidates are selected on the basis of how promising they are
academically. This is evaluated on the basis of their study and research
plans and previous academic success. The research plan is evaluated using
e.g. the following criteria: clarity of research questions, feasibility and
possible risks of the plan, knowledge of relevant literature and research
methods. In addition, the originality of the research and its compatibility
with SIS research profile is evaluated.

The salary will be based on the demand level chart for the teaching and
research staff of Finnish Universities. The preliminary level of demand is 2
- 4, depending on how far advanced the candidate's research is. The basic
salary will be supplemented with a performance increase based on the
employee's individual performance. The positions carry a four-month trial
period.

Please submit your application documents through the University's online
application system (link below) at 15:45 (Finnish time) on 30 April 2013,
and submit the following enclosures along with your application:

- Your curriculum vitae, including the date when you received your right to
pursue a doctoral degree or when you have applied for it. The curriculum
vitae must include the information of two referees if the Master?s degree
was not taken at the University of Tampere.
- Transcript of academic records (Master?s degree)
- A list of publications
- A study plan
- A research plan including a time schedule for your dissertation. More
detailed instructions on how to draft a research plan can be found at the
School?s website.
- An account of grants received for dissertation research and previous
employment at Finnish doctoral programs or other similar institutions.

Ola a todos! Este Caderno da Cultura Digital foi escrito em 2009. Ele faz
parte do Minist?rio da Educa??o e foi elaborado para auxiliar as pr?ticas
educativas nas escolas do Brasil. Veja um pequeno resumo:
"O Caderno Pedag?gico intitulado Cultura Digital ? parte da S?rie de
Cadernos vinculados ao Programa Mais Educa??o ? MEC e tem por objetivo
apresentar alguns exemplos e informa??es aos monitores, professores e
gestores da escola no sentido de oferecer possibilidades de tensionar uma
pr?tica escolar refratada pela Cultura Digital em todos os campos da vida,
seja do espa?o escolar ou n?o. Ele se encontra diretamente entrecruzado com
todos os Cadernos Pedag?gicos do Programa Mais Educa??o muito especialmente
por ser ele um tema contextual, o da cultura hoje em um cotidiano que ?
tamb?m digital.
O Caderno Cultura Digital ? destinado aos que se interessam em pensar a
escola integral nas suas m?ltiplas formas de ser e habitar a
contemporaneidade, na tentativa de problematizar formas de pensar as
comunidades hoje, na rela??o de todos para todos, considerando o
compartilhamento de experi?ncias, se expandindo do mais pr?ximo e enraizado
para o mais distante e virtual.
A internet, assim como a pr?pria Cultura Digital, por ser din?mica e se
comportar como um organismo vivo que renova seu tecido celular
constantemente, nos apresenta um desafio enorme na escrita deste Caderno
Pedag?gico e temos a certeza de que este documento se atualizar? nas
pr?ticas educativas de nossos leitores.
Esperamos contribuir n?o s? para o tensionamento de conceitos e
experi?ncias, mas tamb?m para a continuidade dos estudos, reflex?es e
pr?ticas atravessadas pela Cultura de uso Digital."

Dear all,

Digging out this old thread in case you're still interested in autocomplete
research. I just published a paper about a system to visualize autocomplete
of any request for all google domains, and a few observations about
produced data.

The paper : http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00805048
The tool : https://github.com/fabelier/Zeitgeist-Borders

It's all open-source, have fun ! :)

Don't hesitate to contact me and Sam (coauth, cc) if you want more info
about this project.

Best,
Antoine

Dear All,

I have a book titled Web Social Science which will be in the bookstores 
by July, published by SAGE .  I hope you might consider it for your 
teaching .

If you would like more information, please contact me.  Below is the 
book blurb and also a link to the page on the SAGE website.

Regards,
Rob

This book provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the theory and 
practice of Web Social Science. It demonstrates how the Web is being 
used to collect social research data, such as online surveys and 
interviews, as well as digital trace data from social media 
environments, such as Facebook and Twitter. It also illuminates how the 
advent of the Web has led to traditional social science concepts and 
approaches being combined with those from other scientific disciplines, 
leading to new insights into social, political and economic behaviour.

Situating social sciences in the Digital Age, this book gives you the 
opportunity to:

- Gain an understanding of the fundamental changes to society, politics 
and the economy that have resulted from the advent of the Web

- Learn about relevant data, tools and research methods for conducting 
research using web data

- Learn how how web data are providing new insights into long-standing 
social science research questions

- Understand how social science can facilitate an understanding of life 
in the Digital Age

Original and timely, this book will be of immense value for students and 
researchers throughout the social sciences. It will also be an important 
resource for students and researchers from information science, computer 
science and engineering who want to learn about how social scientists 
are thinking about and researching the Web.

Hello all,

Thanks Antoine, I definitely have to check that out.
I did a small comparative study using the Autocomplete tool by the 
Digital Methods Initiative. I wrote about it here:
http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/re-search/2012/10/01/googling-911-a-cross-cultural-comparison-of-suggestions-for-a-loaded-term/
(and in German here: http://berlinergazette.de/google-911-autocomplete/).

Best,

Ren?

You are not the API I used to know: On the challenges of studying social
media data


A set of #hashtagged tweets and @follow networks visualised to study crisis
response to a natural disaster. Facebook likes, shares, comments, and liked
comments tabulated over time for an activist page to study relationships
between content formats and engagement. LinkedIn profile completeness
percentages measured for a group of civil servants to study online
grooming. Social media data are employed increasingly for work in the arts
and social sciences, and are even becoming an expected research strategy
alongside the fieldwork, surveys and interviews when studying contemporary
states of affairs.


The 2013 Digital Methods Summer School would like to examine critically the
status of the findings, while at the same time reviewing and actively
employing the techniques. Is there increasingly a unified approach to the
study of social media data? Are there recipes and preferred tools (or
utensils)? Are we still allowed to hack the graph? The question of how to
study online data is increasingly a piece with how big data companies
provide them. More specifically, has polling APIs supplanted scraping as
the appropriate means of data collection? What are the effects of the
research ethics debate on social media research practice? There are also
the information graphics and data visualisations to consider. The preferred
outputs mark the return of the graph visualisation, if it ever went away.
What does the graph visualisation mean for the interpretation and
presentation of research findings? There is also the question of what is
actually being measured, apart from activity in social media. How to ground
the findings? In even more online data?


About "Digital Methods" as Concept


Digital methods is a term
<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/MoreIntro> employed
as a counter-point to virtual methods, which typically digitize existing
methods and port them onto the Web. Digital methods, contrariwise, seek to
learn from the methods built into the dominant devices online, and
repurpose them for social and cultural research. That is, the challenge is
to study both the info-web as well as the social web with the tools that
organize them. There is a general protocol to digital methods. At the
outset stock is taken of the natively digital objects that are available
(links, tags, threads, etc.) and how devices such as search engines make
use of them. Can the device techniques be repurposed, for example by
remixing the digital objects they take as inputs? Once findings are made
with online data, where to ground them? With more online data?


About the Summer School


The Digital Methods Summer School, founded in 2007 together with the
Digital Methods Initiative, is directed by Professor Richard Rogers, Chair
in New Media & Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. The Summer
School is one training opportunity provided by the Digital Methods
Initiative (DMI). DMI also has a Winter
School<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool>,
which includes a mini-conference, where papers are presented and responded
to. Winter School papers are often the result of Summer School projects.
The Summer School is coordinated by two PhD candidates in New Media at the
University of Amsterdam, or affiliates. This year the coordinators are
Michael Stevenson and Simeona Petkova both of the University of Amsterdam.
The Summer School has a technical staff as well as a design staff. The
Summer School also relies on a technical infrastructure of some nine
servers hosting tools and storing data. Participants bring their laptops,
learn method, undertake research projects, make reports, tools and graphics
and write them up on the Digital Methods wiki. The Summer School concludes
with final presentations. Often there are guests from non-governmental or
other organizations who present their issues. For instance, Women on
Waves<http://www.womenonwaves.org/> came
along during the 2010 and Fair Phone <http://www.fairphone.com/> to the
2012 Summer School. Digital Methods people are currently interning at
Greenpeace International and the Global Reporting
Initiative<https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx>
.

CALL FOR AWARD APPLICATIONS

Carl J. Couch Internet Research Award 2013

Sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research
http://www.cccsir.com/

The Carl Couch Center issues an international call for
student-authored papers to be considered for Carl J. Couch Internet
Research Award. The Couch Center welcomes both theoretical and
empirical papers that apply symbolic interactionist approaches to
internet studies.

According to basic symbolic interactionist premises, what we
understand as self, identity, relationship, and cultural formations
are constructed dialogically and interactively.  While the works of
George H. Mead, Georg Simmel, Erving Goffman and other leading
symbolic interactionists have been integral to the study of social
interaction, Carl Couch was among the first from this tradition to
suggest the importance of engaging in the study of mediated
interaction. It is critical that symbolic interactionists move boldly
forward, beyond Couch's initial suggestion, to study what has become
for many a dominant form of communication in their everyday life.

Whether we research identities, emotion, memory, family, work, career,
presentations of self, deception, love, loss or other areas, the
impact of mediated communication is felt by those interacting within
it.  As internet-related media continue to influence our everyday
interactions--not only with other people but also with technologies,
devices, algorithms, platform parameters, and so forth--it becomes
crucial for symbolic interactionists to attend to the role of these
mediating factors in the interaction process.

We encourage any paper that uses a symbolic interactionist approach in
internet studies. We also encourage papers that explore the interface
between deliberate social interaction and structured (or automated)
interactions sponsored or enacted by various technological features,
exploring not only how identities, relations, and social formations
are negotiated through social interactions, but also how these
interactions are mediated further through the use or capacities of
various technologies.

Papers will be evaluated based on the quality of (1) mastery of
symbolic interactionist approaches and concepts, (2) originality, (3)
organization, (4) presentation, and (5) advancement of knowledge.
Those contemplating entering should note that an interactionist
approach demands thoughtful analysis, and not mere description, of
social interactions. Evaluation will be administered by a Review
Committee of four:

Mark D. Johns, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa
Jennifer Dunn, Texas Tech University, Lubbock
Annette Markham, University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee
Lois Ann Scheidt, Indiana University, Bloomington

Competition is open to graduate or undergraduate students of all
disciplines. Works that are published or accepted for publication are
not eligible for award consideration. Entries should be in English and
not exceed 30 pages (approximately 7500 words) in length, including
references and appendices. Limit of one entry per student per year.

The top paper will receive Couch Award to be presented at the 2013
meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers (aoir.org) at the
University of Denver. The top paper will be awarded a certificate and
a cash prize of $300 US and the author will be invited to present
their work at a session of the AoIR conference, October 24-27, 2013 in
Denver, Colorado, USA.

Candidates should send a copy of their paper, with a 100-word
abstract, electronically to Mark Johns at mjohns at luther.edu
Application deadline is May 15, 2013. Notification of award will be
sent by June 15.

Artifacts: Proposal submission deadline June 1, 2013

The Collaborative Innovation Networks Conference (COINs) invites you to
submit your papers, workshop proposals, and artifacts to the 4th annual
international conference to be held in Santiago de Chile, hosted by
Pontificia Universidad Cat?lica de Chile from August 11 to August 13, 2013.
COINS13 brings together practitioners, researchers and students of the
emerging science of collaboration to share their work, learn from each
other, and get inspired through creative new ideas. Conference activities
will take place throughout the historic cities of Santiago and Valparaiso.
Attendees will be encouraged to engage with the community, meet local
entrepreneurs, artists, and designers, take a guided tour of the city, and
participate in hands-on workshops and interactive sessions.

Last year?s conference in Basel, Switzerland followed the success of the
previous two COINS Conferences hosted by the Savannah College of Art and
Design, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Center for Collective Intelligence and Wayne State University.

Where science, design, business and art meet, COINS13 looks at the emerging
forces behind the phenomena of open-source, creative, entrepreneurial and
social movements. Through interactive workshops, professional
presentations, and fascinating keynotes, COINS13 combines a wide range of
interdisciplinary fields such as social network analysis, group dynamics,
design and visualization, information systems, collective action and the
psychology and sociality of collaboration.

The best papers will be selected for a special issue of the International
Journal of Organisational Design and Engineering (IJODE;
http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=IJODE).

Program Chairs: Marisa Von B?low (PUC) & Cristobal Garcia (PUC)
Proceedings Chair: Peter Gloor (MIT)

Learning from the Swarm

The COINS13 conference committee seeks original paper submissions, creative
workshop ideas and concepts, unique artifacts or installations, and
engaging rapid-fire presentations celebrating the theme ?Learning from the
Swarm?. This year we are asking what is relevant with regard to the
innovative powers of creative and civic swarms, what are the observable
qualities of virtual collaboration and mobilization, and how does the quest
for global cooperation affect local networks. We invite both theoretical
and practice-based dialogues, case studies, scientific papers,
technological solutions, research studies, and interactive artifacts that
thoroughly reflect this year?s conference theme.

We invite researchers and designers to submit their latest scientific
results and experimental design solutions as full research papers, workshop
proposals, and artifact demonstrations in the following conference themes:


   -

   Networks & Collaboration in a Global Context: Optimization through
   Collaboration | Teamwork through virtually enhanced Collaboration |
   Measuring the performance of COINs | Patterns of swarm creativity
   -

   Group Dynamics, Social Movements & Net Activism: Collaborative Learning
   | Collaborative Leadership  | Design & visualization of interdisciplinary
   collaboration  | Virtual Teaming
   -

   Individual & Social Learning: The psychology and sociality of
   collaboration and collective action  | Social Behavior Modeling | Social
   Intelligence and Social Cognition
   -

   Tools and Methods: Social System Design and Architectures  | Dynamic
   Social Network Analysis  | Semantic Social Network Analysis | Actor Network
   Theory


The increase of online social network communication opens up unprecedented
opportunities to read the collective mind, revealing trends while they are
still being hatched by small groups of creative individuals. The Web has
become a mirror of the real world, allowing researchers, in fields of
social & behavioral science as well as design, to study and better
understand why some new ideas change our lives, while others never make it
from the drawing board of the innovator. Collaborative Innovation Networks,
or COINs, are cyberteams of self-motivated people with a collective vision,
enabled by technology to collaborate, challenge the status-quo and innovate
by sharing ideas, information, resources and work.  COINs are powered by
swarm creativity, wherein people work together in a structure that enables
a fluid creation and exchange of ideas. ?Coolhunting? ? the discovering,
analyzing, and measuring of trends and trendsetters as well as movers and
shakers ? puts COINs to productive use.

Below are the details and deadlines for the submission of Papers,
Workshops, Artifacts, and Pecha Kucha sessions.

For up to date information and additional details please visit our website:
www.coinschile.com

To engage with the broader COINs community, follow us on twitter

and scope of collaboration science and design including: bold research
ideas, conceptual developments, research investigations, methodological &
theoretical advances, design ideas, development experiences and more.
Submissions should report original research, reflections on theoretical
concerns, methodological advances, or other insights that contribute to our
understanding of all aspects of collaboration and help advance the state of
knowledge for the community. We encourage perspectives from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds.
Papers should be submitted in .doc or .pdf format.
Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work.
Submit papers by May 15, 2013 on EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13

Important Dates:
May 15, 2013 | Deadline for Paper Submissions
June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
paper
July 30, 2013 | Final copy for conference to publications chair
August 11-13 | Paper presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile

Workshops:
Proposals Submission Deadline May 15, 2013

Workshops will take place during the conference and will form part of the
main program. This year we are accepting proposals for both two-hour and
four-hour sessions.

Workshops are intended to provide a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing
experiences, fostering conversation and research communities, learning from
each other, exploring controversies, engaging in debate, envisioning future
directions and elaborating new methods and perspectives.

Workshop activities can range from open forum discussion, to demonstrations
or presentations with discussion, to collaborative activities such as
structured brainstorming, illustrative games or role-plays. Whatever the
focus or format, organizers will be required to schedule time for
conversation, reflection, discussion, and debate. Although we envision most
workshop activities to take place in one setting, let us know if your
workshop will venture out into other sites in Santiago.
Workshop proposals should include:

   - a summary of 500 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop
   - a longer detailed description of the workshop structure, activities
   and goals
   - the names, contact information and background of the organizer(s)
   - the maximum number of participants you'd like to attend the workshop
   - anticipated A/V requirements.


Please be as specific as possible as it helps us in selection, and in
helping you plan the workshop.

Workshop participants will be registered on a first come first served basis
by the conference committee, so the workshop organizers will not be able to
select their participants.

Accepted workshops will be publicized via the COINS13 website within a
month after organizers are notified. Workshop organizers will also be
encouraged to promote COINS13 and their workshops to potential attendees.
Submit proposals by May 15, 2013 to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13. Additionally, please
include your email address and other contact details.

Important Dates:
May 15, 2013 | Deadline for workshop Submissions
June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
paper
August 11-13 | Workshop at COINS13, Santiago, Chile



Artifacts:
Proposals Submission Deadline June 1, 2013

The artifacts category seeks to provide participants with an opportunity to
present work in a forum that facilitates open discussion and enables direct
interaction with conference attendees. A dedicated session will be held
during the conference to present the artifacts.

Artifacts can be anything from design sketchbooks, to reformed
organizational processes, to ads you?ve produced, to products you?ve made,
to short films, to conceptual objects, etc. We encourage submissions that
are thought provoking and visually engaging, and which cover
exploratory/speculative work, smaller projects, unusual representations of
ethnographic work, and so on. The form of the presented materials is open.
In keeping with the category title artifacts though, we encourage
submissions based on some material instantiation that can be exhibited at
the conference. Our hope is that it will be the ?thinginess? of the
artifacts that will, in part, prompt interaction with and between
conference attendees.

Submissions should include a single page describing or illustrating the
proposed submission (the one page inclusive of any and all figures and
references, where appropriate). This page should convey to reviewers what
the artifact being submitted is and how it is hoped to provoke discussion.
The page will also be included in the published conference proceedings.

Also included in the submissions should be a paragraph and image (no more
that 150 words) that can be displayed on the conference website.

Please submit these submission materials by June 1, 2013 to:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coins13   Additionally, please
include your email address and other contact details.

Important Dates:
June 1, 2013 | Deadline for artifacts Submissions

June 15, 2013 | Author(s) will be notified of provisional acceptance of the
artifact. Accepted submissions will have their 150 word descriptions posted
on the COINS13 website. Descriptions (including images) of accepted
artifacts will be published in the COINS13 Proceedings.
July 30, 2013 | Final papers due
August 11-13 | artifacts presentations at COINS13, Santiago, Chile. The
artifact itself should be transported to Santiago for the conference.

New Social Media, New Social Science? Blurring the Boundaries: One Year On
http://www.socialsciencespace.com/2013/04/new-social-media-new-social-science-blurring-the-boundaries-one-year-on/ 

Last year, SAGE, the National Centre for Social Research and the Oxford Internet Institute set up a network for social media researchers with funding from the National Centre for Research Methods.  The aim of the network was to bring together researchers from across disciplines and sectors who have an interest in using social media within social research and we now have over 500 network members worldwide.

You can see an overview of the network goals and activities and what we've achieved so far here.

There will be several chances to hear what has been achieved in the first year: we are holding a one-day conference on April 16th 2013 in London. Places are free but are strictly limited: if you would like a place please contact Mithu Lucraft to request an application form.

We are also running a One Year On Digital Debate on 23rd April 2013 to give people a chance to participate in the discussions arising from the conference. If you are interested in this digital event then please register here.

Follow @NSMNSS to hear up-to-date news on these online activities.

You are not the API I used to know: On the challenges of studying social media data


A set of #hashtagged tweets and @follow networks visualised to study crisis response to a natural disaster. Facebook likes, shares, comments, and liked comments tabulated over time for an activist page to study relationships between content formats and engagement. LinkedIn profile completeness percentages measured for a group of civil servants to study online grooming. Social media data are employed increasingly for work in the arts and social sciences, and are even becoming an expected research strategy alongside the fieldwork, surveys and interviews when studying contemporary states of affairs.


The 2013 Digital Methods Summer School would like to examine critically the status of the findings, while at the same time reviewing and actively employing the techniques. Is there increasingly a unified approach to the study of social media data? Are there recipes and preferred tools (or utensils)? Are we still allowed to hack the graph? The question of how to study online data is increasingly a piece with how big data companies provide them. More specifically, has polling APIs supplanted scraping as the appropriate means of data collection? What are the effects of the research ethics debate on social media research practice? There are also the information graphics and data visualisations to consider. The preferred outputs mark the return of the graph visualisation, if it ever went away.
What does the graph visualisation mean for the interpretation and presentation of research findings? There is also the question of what is actually being measured, apart from activity in social media. How to ground the findings? In even more online data?


About "Digital Methods" as Concept


Digital methods is a term
<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/MoreIntro> employed as a counter-point to virtual methods, which typically digitize existing methods and port them onto the Web. Digital methods, contrariwise, seek to learn from the methods built into the dominant devices online, and repurpose them for social and cultural research. That is, the challenge is to study both the info-web as well as the social web with the tools that organize them. There is a general protocol to digital methods. At the outset stock is taken of the natively digital objects that are available (links, tags, threads, etc.) and how devices such as search engines make use of them. Can the device techniques be repurposed, for example by remixing the digital objects they take as inputs? Once findings are made with online data, where to ground them? With more online data?


About the Summer School


The Digital Methods Summer School, founded in 2007 together with the Digital Methods Initiative, is directed by Professor Richard Rogers, Chair in New Media & Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam. The Summer School is one training opportunity provided by the Digital Methods Initiative (DMI). DMI also has a Winter School<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool>,
which includes a mini-conference, where papers are presented and responded to. Winter School papers are often the result of Summer School projects.
The Summer School is coordinated by two PhD candidates in New Media at the University of Amsterdam, or affiliates. This year the coordinators are Michael Stevenson and Simeona Petkova both of the University of Amsterdam.
The Summer School has a technical staff as well as a design staff. The Summer School also relies on a technical infrastructure of some nine servers hosting tools and storing data. Participants bring their laptops, learn method, undertake research projects, make reports, tools and graphics and write them up on the Digital Methods wiki. The Summer School concludes with final presentations. Often there are guests from non-governmental or other organizations who present their issues. For instance, Women on Waves<http://www.womenonwaves.org/> came along during the 2010 and Fair Phone <http://www.fairphone.com/> to the
2012 Summer School. Digital Methods people are currently interning at Greenpeace International and the Global Reporting Initiative<https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx>
.

Commercial games, especially Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing
Games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft and EverQuest are
very popular nowadays. These types of games not only have fantasy
interfaces and rich storylines, but they also give the players a lot of power
to control what they want to do in the game world. This freedom of choice allows
players to do what they want when they want, aligning well with
the constructivist paradigm of learning. This opens up a host of possibilities
for using these game approaches in education to potentially improve
learner?s learning experience and performance.

This special issue focuses on sharing experiences and innovations in theoretical
and conceptual issues related to the development of practical mobile and
internet-based educational games. The aim is to provide readers with
evidences and experiments that account for learners' experiences and
perceptions related to knowledge and concepts acquisition through
game approaches in various disciplines and domains.

Thanks so much to everyone who sent me suggestions of mixed methods Internet
research in response to my recent query. I'm still working my way through
the responses in detail. It's been really enlightening to see the sheer
amount of methodological mixing going on in Internet studies and  clearly
there's something about the multiple affordances of digital data that
stimulate people to draw on multiple methodological traditions. I'm finding
it very interesting to think through these examples of mixing in research
according to the notion of "facet methodology" that I've just come across -
see Mason (2011). I know several other people were interested to know about
the outcomes of my query, so I've prepared a brief summary of the various
projects and resources I heard about. It's a bit long to send out whole to
this list, so I've put it here:  http://christinehine.wordpress.com/

Best wishes,

Information Systems and technology for 
Organizational Agility, Intelligence and Resilience
A book edited by Dr. Hakikur Rahman and Dr. Rui 
Dinis de Sousa, Centro Algoritmi, University of Minho, Portugal

To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com

(Call for the chapter:
http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/931)

Introduction
The contemporary global economy requires 
innovative organizations and employees with novel 
skills, attitudes, and intellectual agility. 
Organizations and individuals must be able to 
take advantage of scientific and technological 
developments to become more innovative and 
competitive by pursuing flexibility in 
communication and decision making, as well as 
knowledge sharing and collaboration, in a 
trustworthy and secure organizational and 
technological environment. In these aspects, 
information systems and information technology 
(IS/IT) play a central role as promoters of new 
initiatives to communicate, work, do business, 
relate, act, manage, and lead. Similarly, 
manifestations like e-/m-commerce, e-/m-markets, 
e-/m-business, e-/m-tourism, e-/m-governance, 
e-/m-learning, e-democracy, e-/m-collaboration, 
crowdsourcing, intermediation, and others have 
emerged in recent years, conveying IS/IT that 
influence the way individuals and organizations 
see themselves, others, and the possibilities for 
vibrant interaction. At the same time, Web 
technologies and IT applications such as decision 
support systems, workflow management systems, 
enterprise systems, value-chain management 
systems, and document and content management 
systems have allowed these systems to increase 
organizational productivity, bring the 
organization closer to its stakeholders, and 
create new forms of competition and 
inter-organizational collaboration. Foremost, a 
variety of theories, methods, best practices, and 
tools have been developed in different scientific 
areas to support the design and implementation of 
initiatives aimed in promoting organizational 
learning, organizational memory, and the 
transformation of organizational identity to 
improve organizational agility, intelligence, and resilience.

Overall Objective of the Book
The main contributor of this book is comprised of 
a group that carries out research on IS/IT 
through interdisciplinary research and 
development projects (such as transfer of 
knowledge, dissemination of knowledge, and 
various other research approaches including 
basic, transactional, and clinical research), as 
well as advanced training projects aiming to 
develop systematic and comprehensive strategies 
that promote overall organizational well-being. 
The main aim is to advise and support 
organizational agents who want ensure success in 
terms of financial, social, and environmental 
aspects as well as in the aspect of human 
development in a more sustainable way. The broad 
objective of this book will be to incorporate 
methods and technologies for the development of a 
sustained organization among the contemporary 
issues, such as increased globalization, economic 
crisis, short product life cycle, augmented 
competition, and amplified innovation. However, 
in specific, the scope of the book would like to 
include conceptual research, methodological 
aspects, empirical cases (using conventional 
instruments like survey, interview, literature 
review, case studies, and others), and especially 
success cases illustrating practices of the above mentioned instruments.

Target Audience
The target audience may incorporate academics, 
researchers, intermediaries, policy initiators, 
associations, subsidiaries, and individuals who 
would like to initiate a start-up, rejuvenate the 
existing enterprise, or collaborate with other 
partners for better competencies and value 
addition, not only in terms of finance, but also 
in respect to knowledge gain that, in the long 
run, assists in financial gain. In these aspects, 
this book will be a valuable asset to the small 
and medium entrepreneurs; associations dealing 
with small organizations; corporate business 
sectors; intermediaries; knowledge managers 
including academics, researchers, government, and 
non-government staffs; and policy initiators.

Call for papers ECREA conference

(Mis)understanding political participation


Munich (Germany), 11-12 October 2013. 

Organised by the ECREA?s Communication & Democracy, Gender & Communication sections. Supported by the Media and Communication sections of the German Communication (DGPuK) and Sociology Association (DGS) and YECREA.


It is commonly accepted that political participation and civic engagement are cornerstones of a healthy democracy. Going beyond established academic discourses about the decline of citizens? political participation in institutional politics, and the rise of alternative forms of political participation, this conference aims to explore the issues, the platforms, the actions, the locations, and the motivations of politically active citizens today.


Political participation is nowadays characterised by ambiguities: Despite the evidence of growing disenchantment with institutional politics, electoral turnouts in some countries are increasing; despite increased possibilities for participation through online media, these are often dismissed as ?clicktivism?; despite celebratory discourses on the uses of social media in the Arab spring, the Occupy movement, in the Pussy Riot case, the same-sex marriage debates in France and the UK and in recent LGBT+ protests, they were grounded and performed in particular physical spaces; despite their possibilities for challenging the mainstream, online media technologies are mostly profit-driven.

We need to discuss the opportunities and challenges that these conditions entail for the ways in which digitally-mediated social interactions, practices and environments shape everyday participation, engagement or protest, and to analyse their implications for politics, culture and society. This includes asking whether ?clicktivism? is eroding the physical or embodied participation constituting traditional offline activism, and if new ?digital divides? and political, social and cultural inequalities will result from mediated participation and engagement. Crucially, it also warrants critically re-assessing the relations and interplays between institutional and non-institutional politics, and traditional definitions of what is considered ?political?.

We invite paper and panel proposals from a wide range of disciplines (media and communication studies, cultural studies, gender studies, sociology, political sciences etc.) related to the central theme of the conference, including (but not limited to) the following topics:

?      Mediatisation of political participation and civic engagement


?      Media practices and mediation of political participation, engagement and protest

?      Relationships between national media systems and participation

?      NGOs, mainstream media and social media

?      Media representations of engagement, protest and new masculinities

?      Feminist protest and new media

?      Intersectionality and media

?      Gay and lesbian rights, the queer movement and the media

?      Issues of surveillance and data privacy

?      Digital divides, hierarchy and marginalisation in civic engagement

?      Historical accounts of mediatisation of participation and engagement

We specially invite empirical case studies (comparative and/or single-case studies). Panel and paper proposals from PhD students and early career scholars are also very welcome. We also encourage authors to submit policy papers, applied case studies or artistic reflections for a special poster session.


Extended abstracts should be no longer than 700 words, written in English and contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, methodology and results.


Panel proposals should consist of a rationale for the panel (max 400 words), abstracts for individual panel presenters (max 200 words each), name of panel chair/organiser, name and affiliations of participants.

All proposals should be submitted by May 15th, 2013 to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecreapepms2013.


Notifications of acceptance will be sent out after June 15th, 2013.

Subject: [Air-L] Sources for theory / theories: media re-reporting and
 national identity
Message-ID: <CD886FB7.5C9F1%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

One of my Masters students is examining how Norwegian newspapers re-report
Norwegian-related news in the U.S. and the U.K. - specifically, the recent
fun poked by U.S. news sources regarding "the firewood program," accounts of
Bogd?y prison island, and the nomination of the Kon-Tiki movie for an
academy award.  Our broad inquiry circles around (a) why are these sorts of
re-reports - including on occasion a positive spin on what was originally a
negative report - important components of news reporting - specifically with
a view towards (b) their function as part of a fostering and reinforcing a
sense of national identity?
We are looking broadly at Anderson's notion of national identity as an
imagined community - but we're hoping to find more recent analyses and
theoretical sources that would be helpful as well.

A specific wrinkle here is that while we can find plenty of good work on how
contemporary media serve to foster specific aspects of _individual_ identity
(e.g., using Goffman, Simmel, and/or others in conjunction with social
media) - we're trying to focus on a sense of collective or shared national
identity and how such media (re)reporting seems to be important in
contributing to and fostering such an identity.
There are further specific wrinkles affecting a sense of national identity,
including relatively recent independence (1905) that may also play relevant
roles in accounting for this form of reporting - and thereby suggest
specific sorts of similar research in other countries as well?

In all events, I hope this query is specific enough to spark specific
responses; if you have suggestions for us, please share these offlist -
though I will be more than happy to collect these and repost.

Many thanks in advance,
- charles

My doctoral research is about how security management professionals are
using their Personal Learning Environments for work-based learning and
professional development. Prior to individual interviews and focus groups, I
am doing observations in discussion groups such as LinkedIn.

I would appreciate hearing if you are aware of any observational research
that has been conducted in LinkedIn or similar environments. My work is
qualitative, but I am also interested in quantitative or mixed methods
studies. Thanks,

How long till someone marries up the PGP Web-of-Trust and LinkedIn and ISI
impact factors / JCR and some other social media data to vet conferences as
reputable or not?

Imagine cryptographically signing that you were at a conference and found
it viable as a real academic interaction - or not.  And being able to mark
as trusted/invalidating other people's evaluations of events.

And imagine how little time it would take for people to start trying to
game such a system.  ;-)

How long till someone marries up the PGP Web-of-Trust and LinkedIn and ISI impact factors / JCR and some other social media data to vet conferences as reputable or not?

Imagine cryptographically signing that you were at a conference and found it viable as a real academic interaction - or not.  And being able to mark as trusted/invalidating other people's evaluations of events.

And imagine how little time it would take for people to start trying to game such a system.  ;-)

Publishing may be dirt cheap but any systematic/formal e.g. academic
publishing isn't free... So the problem is that while there is a necessary
and valuable shift from commercial publishing (and outrageous profiteering)
to open access online publishing there really aren't any good business
models yet to cover the (much less but not totally trivial) costs of the new
forms of academic publishing.  

If for whatever reason (and there are lots including the issues pointed to
here) one doesn't want to go to a pay for play model that leaves
advertising(???) or donations (???) or...

mmm?  It is worthwhile to distinguish "publishing" from "distribution".  

Distribution has gotten much cheaper.  
Publishing remains a highly labor intensive activity that requires significant expertise and organization to do well.

Dear colleagues,

After lurking on this list a while, it seems to me that members may be
interested in the journal Big Data, recently launched, of which I am
editor-in-chief.

The entirety of the first issue has been made freely available online at
http://online.liebertpub.com/toc/big/1/1

Peer reviewed papers will be published open access, under CC BY license,
with no author fees. (Many thanks danah boyd for her assistance and
advocacy in ensuring this).

The journal aims to be integrative over the contributing fields to big
data, including data science, software, visualization, policy?and
accessible to both practitioners and researchers in the field, from
industry, academia and government. As such it aims for a modern feel, and
is pursuing an innovative business model in order to facilitate the OA
publishing.

I welcome feedback and contribution from members of this list.

Submission details are available here:
http://www.liebertpub.com/manuscript/big-data/611/
Editorial board: http://www.liebertpub.com/editorialboard/big-data/611/

True, but software now handles a lot of the organizational issues related to
(particularly OA) publishing (we use OJS <http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs> ) and
varous forms of communication and information management tools handle quite
a lot of the "expertise" issues... (by for example, dramatically increasing
the range of human and other resources to which one has easy and low cost
access including for editing, reviewing, consulting with colleagues,
software support etc. 

 

It doesn't reduce the need for the expertise but it does make accessing and
using that expertise a lot more time/cost efficient (in publishing as in
almost every other area of human endeavour...But of course, the expertise
requirement that remains.

Dear all,

Thanks again for your advices.
I just finished gathering two datasets that would allow a first attempt in
quantitative analysis of online pornography : http://sexualitics.github.io/

No analysis nor visualisations yet, but they are on their way ! Please,
send me (or fork/pull) yours if any.

Don't hesitate to ask precision about the datasets or methodology used, i
would be glad to answer.

All best,
Antoine

Subject: [Air-L] Research on YouTube comment trolls?
Message-ID: <CAFB21FTnDoZvg3LcLyZ1Kai6GDyMJYAo5DLZ3uBZ+gcSAiepAw@mail.gmail.com>

Patr?cia Lange has been working on that subject almost since YouTube
was launched: http://sfaapodcasts.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/update-apr-17-lange-sfaa-paper-2007.pdf
She also has other papers on her website you may find interesting.

I addressed that issue in my PhD thesis on "The Politics of YouTube:
Studying online video and political discussion":
http://repositorio.ul.pt/handle/10451/7558, especially regarding
interaction with politicians and political institutions. Send me a
private message in case you want to exchange some ideas.

I hope that helps!

CALL FOR PAPERS: GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE
Novelty / Theory, 26-28 September 2013, Hong Kong
"Research without theory: Questioning ingrained practices and the pursuit of novelty"

(please disseminate! || provisional deadline: 31 May 2013)

Institution: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU), Department of Applied Social Sciences (APSS), Hong Kong

Speakers: Prof. Mark Hobart (SOAS, London) & Dr. Robert Hassan (University of Melbourne).

Website: http://noveltheory.tumblr.com

The general theme of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University APSS Graduate School conference is "Research without theory: Questioning ingrained practices and the pursuit of novelty" (read more). We paired the two concepts of Novelty and Theory to challenge our sociological imagination and put our own research under scrutiny through some questions: why does it seem so easy and natural to talk about the contemporary in terms of novelty? Why do we think that the originality of our research proposal will be enough to grant it legitimacy? What are the risks of attuning our research to the current concerns of the moment, instead of setting our own theoretical agenda? How can we practice the new without theorizing it constantly? These (and more) questions are the core of a graduate students conference meant to encourage peer interaction, provide a chance for networking across disciplines and exchange insights in a conductive learning environment.

All graduate students in Hong Kong, as well as other local and international graduate students are invited to submit their paper proposals to the conference. Our preference goes to paper presentations, but we also accept posters in case you cannot attend the conference or you prefer to lurk in the shadows of the lunch break.

N/T2013 welcomes contributions from a wide range of disciplines willing to engage with the conference theme from any angle. Areas for possible contributions include, but are not restricted to:

- Anthropology
- Cultural studies
- Humanities
- Psychology
- Social work
- Sociology

...and beyond.

If you are not sure about the way in which your ideas would fit the conference or you want to put some people together and organize a panel, just drop us a line.

Submissions:
All submissions should include a 300-word abstract (in English) and personal details (institutional affiliation, academic qualification, and email address).

Unfortunately, we cannot offer any kind of funding for traveling, accommodation and other expenses, but we will do our best to suggest to you the cheapest options and organize some good meals.

Join us!

The N/T2013 team.

The Third Halmstad Summer School on Testing

Halmstad University, Halmstad, Sweden

June 3 - June 5, 2013

http://blog.accurate-programming.org/


Scope
========

Software testing accounts for a major part of software development cost 
and effort,
yet the current practice of software testing is often insufficiently 
structured and disciplined.
There have been various attempts in the past decades to bring more rigor 
and structure into this field,
resulting in several industrial-strength processes, techniques and tools 
for different levels of testing.
The 3rd Halmstad Summer School on Testing provides an overview of the 
state of the art in testing, including theory, industrial cases, tools 
and hands-on tutorials
by internationally-renowned researchers.

Tutorials
========

Test-Driven Software Development in Java Including Concurrency (Robert 
Cartwright, Rice)

Industrial-Strength Model-Based Testing and its Methodology (Wen-Ling 
Huang and Jan Peleska, Verified Systems and Bremen)

Property-based testing with QuickCheck (John Hughes, QuviQ and Chalmers)

Closing the V - by going from V to DEL (Tony Larsson, Halmstad)

Testing and Verifying Software Properties with ACL2 and ProofPad, and 
Dracula (Rex Page, Oklahoma)

Introduction to Model-Based Testing (Mohammad Mousavi, Halmstad)

Hands on ScalaCheck (Rickard Nilsson, Lund)

Accurate Programming Using ScalaCheck (Walid Taha, Halmstad)


Registration
==========


The registration deadline is May 1, 2013.

The registration fee is 1000 SEK (approx. 120 EUR) and covers lunches 
and coffee breaks.

To apply to the summer school, please send an email to 
Veronica.Gaspes at hh.se <mailto:Veronica.Gaspes at hh.se> with "Halmstad 
Summer School on Testing" in the title.


Venue
======

The summer school will be held on the campus of Halmstad University  in 
Halmstad, Sweden.
Halmstad is a popular summer destination located on the Swedish west coast.
Just a few minutes by bicycle or bus takes you from campus to city 
centre, sandy beaches or forested Galgberget Hill.
Trains take you directly to G?teborg in 75 minutes, to the 
Malm?-Copenhagen area in about 2 hours and to Stockholm in 4.5 hours.
There are also daily flights from Halmstad Airport to Stockholm.



Directions for getting to campus can be found here:


http://www.hh.se/english/abouttheuniversity/visitus.307_en.html


The campus map, with a link to a printable pdf version can be found here:


http://hh.se/english/discover/visitus/campusmap.1252_en.html


If you are flying in internationally it is generally easiest to fly into 
Copenhagen (CPH) airport (also known as Kastrup).
The best thing about flying into CPH is that you just buy a train ticket 
when you arrive at the airport and simply take a train from the airport 
directly to Halmstad.
The train leaves from the airport itself approximately once an hour on 
weekdays.
  We recommend that you check the time-table here:


http://www.sj.se/start/startpage/index.form?l=en


and allow one hour from touchdown to getting to the train station (just 
outside customs).

In Halmstad, everything is either in walking distance or a short taxi 
ride away.
Usually there are taxis at the station.
If there are none there is a phone that connects directly to the local 
taxi company.
For the eventuality that the phone is not working, it is good to have a 
cell phone handy.
The number for the taxi company is written on the phone.


Note that CPH is in Denmark (and not in Sweden).
So, if you need visas for European countries, make sure you get one that 
works for both.
If for some reason you cannot or do not want to use CPH, the next best 
international airport is in Gothenburg (GOT), locally known as Landvetter.
The tricky thing about using that airport is that you would first have 
to take a 45 minute shuttle from the airport to the Gothenburg train 
station, and then take the train to Halmstad.
That is one transfer and one wait.



Accommodation
=============

Here are some suggestions for the accommodation, with an indication of 
their price range, (obtained from booking.com <http://booking.com>) and 
their distance to the summer school venue:

Subject: [Air-L] Workshop: Participatory Design for Persons with Cognitive
 or Sensory Impairments @ Interact2013
Message-ID: <CADW2KPFWL0RB4w80YhGKSv-5qdMu7fi7cc5+xLXwQs9Tkf7Q9g@mail.gmail.com>

*

Are you interested in participatory design and do you work with users with
impairments? We organize a workshop on participatory design for persons
with cognitive or sensory
impairments<http://interact2013impairmentsworkshop.wordpress.com/>at
Interact
2013 <http://www.interact2013.org/> in Cape Town, South Africa. This
workshop will be held on Tuesday September 3rd.

Workshop on participatory design for users with impairments

Involving people with impairments in the design process is very
challenging, especially when impairments affect cognitive functions or
communication. People with such impairments may have substantial problems
with thought processes and communication, including understanding
abstractions, sequencing thoughts and actions, understanding symbols, and
interpreting social cues. Many participatory design techniques are based on
these processes and are therefore not usable, or need to be adjusted for
people with impairments.

Workshop aims

This workshop aims to exchange experiences with participatory design
techniques that were designed for, or adapted to people with impairments.
Since many of these techniques are highly focused on specific target
groups, a further aim is to extract general principles and to generate
guidelines for involving users with impairments in the design process.

Who should attend?

Researchers and designers who have been involved in one or more
design-oriented project(s) involving users with impairments are invited to
participate. After this workshop, a call for papers will be launched for a

>     1. Re: Research on YouTube comment trolls? (Patr?cia Dias da Silva)

Hi all,


There is a great article based almost entirely on an analysis of Youtube 
comments by Bambi Schefflein and Graham Jones. I don't have the 
reference now (as I am working off line) but it is listed in my Annual 
Review of Anthropology on Ethnographic Approaches to Digital Media. It 
is a real gem even if not on trolls per se.

 A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013.    There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE.  Is this an example of 'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation.  Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site.

"Title-squatting"--I like it. The NYT article on predatory open access journals talked a bit about this phenomenon.

We invite advanced students and young researchers interested in researching online communities through social network analysis to participate in the international summer course, ?Social Network Analysis: Internet Research?. The course is organized by the Department of Sociology, the Laboratory for Internet Studies (LINIS<http://linis.hse.ru/>), and the Sociology of Education and Science Laboratory (SESL<http://slon.hse.ru/en>) of the National Research University - Higher School of Economics. English will serve as the course?s working language. The summer school will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia from August 15 to the 22, 2013.
This year will address how online communities can be empirically examined using social network analysis and network science. Connections between theory and application will be illustrated in conjunction with contemporary examples from internet-based social networks. The course will focus on research design, online data collection, processing, analysis, and visualization. The course will also review and compare the available software packages that are widely used to analyze online social networks, paying close attention to issues such as performance, user interface, and features.
The course has four components:
1.    Lectures that will provide background on the field and review both theory and methods;
2.    Hands-on computer laboratory sessions operating primarily within the R and Python environments. These labs will offer direct, technical skills in collecting, analyzing, and visualizing ?big data? from internet sources;
3.    Seminars that will focus on discussing research articles;
4.    Student project presentations that include a discussion of the research. Participants will receive feedback from both their peers and the instructors.
We encourage students and young researchers with backgrounds in social science (e.g., sociology, anthropology, political science, economics), computer science, and informatics to apply.  We welcome both Russian and international applicants.
Requirements for participation:
o    English fluency.
o    Computer literacy and knowledge of online social networks.
o    An elementary understanding of social network analysis.
o    Applicants with related research experience will receive preference.
There is no registration fee. Attendance is limited to 25 participants. Participants who successfully complete all course requirements and pass a cumulative exam will be eligible to receive five ECTS.
Accommodation: 16 students may get hostel-type accommodation paid by the School  (to be distributed on first  come, first served basis). Out-of-country participants should get entry visa. Invitations for visa will be provided by the School. Contact e-mail: sna.school2013 at gmail.com<mailto:sna.school2013 at gmail.com>.
In order to apply please complete the online application form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UrS6bM9mInrzevlQCpADXT9YNLzIdXmeJuUvJKffWgs/viewform> along with brief description of your research project (200-400 words). Deadline for application:  May 15, 2013. Final decisions: May 31, 2013.

They do not appear on Beall's List of Predatory Open-Access Publishers (yet).
http://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/ 
Beall's List does include a journal with the same name as one of the IROCS journals (International journal of computer science and Information security), but it is not the same one. 

They do seem to have many things in common with those that do appear on this list.

A scam? Absolutely. If you get that feeling from a 2-minute glance of their site, then your hunch is right.

In my opinion, never a need to pay-to-publish in an academic journal. There are tons of legitimate options out there in our field (all the usual suspects). And if you're craving a good open access journal, there's always First Monday, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Game Studies, International Journal of Internet Science, International Journal of Communication, etc. etc. etc. If your article is worth publishing, you shouldn't have to pay to do so!

A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013.? ? There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE.? Is this an example of 'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation.? Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site.

Daren,

You should know that the non-commercial open access journals also need some
form of financial support (a stable business model).  My understanding is
that various of these journals currently rely on various forms of donations
-- in some cases corporate, in others local universities (who have the
resources to provide this support) and other... But a lot of open access
journals are currently hitting a financial wall in that their source of
voluntary labour and non-recurrent contributions are drying up and in the
absence of appropriate funding models there are problems, at least on the
horizon.

Pay-to-publish (pay to play) is almost certainly not an appropriate way to
go for a variety of reasons, but nor IMHO is a situation wihere there are
publishing opportunities only for those with wealthy (and potentially
self-interested ?) benefactors.

Research grants in some cases now have provision for dissemination which
IMHO could/should be linked to OA publishing and most importantly some
provision needs to be developed to steer the funds that are currently going
to over-priced commercial "free" publishing journals towards "free"
publishing non-commercial OA journals. 

How to establish the relative value of individual journals in the midst of
what appears to be a major onslaught of bad money chasing good (as in this
instance) is something that will need to be addressed and quite quickly I
believe if scholarly/research publishing as we have known it up to now is to
survive. (And that of course, belies the question of whether such an
approach to research dissemination is the most useful one in the longer term
in any case, as a number of experiments currently underway are putting into
question.)

A scam? Absolutely. If you get that feeling from a 2-minute glance of their
site, then your hunch is right.

In my opinion, never a need to pay-to-publish in an academic journal. There
are tons of legitimate options out there in our field (all the usual
suspects). And if you're craving a good open access journal, there's always
First Monday, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Game Studies,
International Journal of Internet Science, International Journal of
Communication, etc. etc. etc. If your article is worth publishing, you
shouldn't have to pay to do so!

"Title-squatting"--I like it. The NYT article on predatory open access

A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie

option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There
are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause,
including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want
it to appear being something produced by IEEE.  Is this an example of
'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit
sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this
generic CFP solicitation.  Of course, this is just my opinion based on a
2-minute skim of their site.

 formation - a survey for American Twitter users
Message-ID: <CAMcZodOu-xnvLXB=G0qdq6DAD8wgm3_ErJN=KZvuKWyYEZz0BA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I am a sociology student from Plymouth University in the UK. I am currently
in the middle of my third year undergraduate dissertation.

I want to find out how influential Twitter is in political opinion
formation, specifically during last years US presidential election (thus
why I'm looking for American Twitter users only.)

The survey is made up of 23 questions and is mainly multiple choice (with a
few boxes here and there) and should not take more than 5 minutes.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MRS2F5J

I will be very grateful to everyone who fills it out, as you will be
helping me with my dissertation.

Thank you!

Liam.

------- Annoucement of the publication of Vol. 11, No. 1 of IJDET (an EI journal)-----------
http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-distance-education-technologies/1078

We are glad to announce the publication of Vol. 11, No. 1 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI
journal). In this issue, FIVE papers are included:



TSI-Enhanced Pedagogical Agents to Engage Learners in Virtual Worlds (pages 1-13)
Steve Leung, Sandeep Virwaney, Fuhua Lin, AJ Armstrong, and Adien Dubbelboer
Building pedagogical applications in virtual worlds is a multi-disciplinary endeavor that involves learning theories, application
development framework, and mediated communication theories. This paper presents a project that integrates game-based learning,
multi-agent system architecture (MAS), and the theory of Transformed Social Interaction (TSI), the project implements a group of
engaging, affectionate and effective pedagogical agents equipped with abilities of self-repsentation, emotional states reasoning and
situational awareness. A prototype of a virtual quiz show, QuizMASter, has been implemented to realize these abilities, and will be
used to test for the effectiveness of the approach.

PACALL: Supporting Language Learning Using SenseCam (pages 14-30)
Bin Hou, Hiroaki Ogata, Toma Kunita, Mengmeng Li, and Noriko Uosaki
The authors' research defines a ubiquitous learning log (ULLO) as a digital record of what a learner has learned in the daily life
using ubiquitous technologies. In their previous works, the authors proposed a model named LORE (Log ? Organize ? Recall ?
Evaluate) to describe the learning process of ULLO and developed a system named SCROLL to implement this model. This paper focuses
on Log among 4 factors in LORE and proposed a passive way to log ULLOs. They use SenseCam to capture a learner's learning
activities and propose a system named PACALL to support reflection of what s/he has seen. This system filters bad photos that taken
by SenseCam and helps learner find learning content. The author use this system in language learning and help learners learn the
foreign name of objects around.

Research Trends with Cross Tabulation Search Engine (pages 31-44)
Chengjiu Yin, Sachio Hirokawa, Jane Yin-Kim Yau, Kiyota Hashimoto, Yoshiyuki Tabata, and Tetsuya Nakatoh
To help researchers in building a knowledge foundation of their research fields which could be a time-consuming process, the authors
have developed a Cross Tabulation Search Engine (CTSE). Its purpose is to assist researchers in 1) conducting research surveys, 2)
efficiently and effectively retrieving information (such as important researchers, research groups, keywords), and also 3) providing
analytical information relating to past and current research trends in a particular field. Their CTSE system employs data-processing
technologies and emphasizes the use of a "Learn by Searching" learning strategy to support students to analyze such research
trends. To show the effectiveness of CTSE, a pilot experiment has been conducted, where participants were assigned to do research
survey tasks and then answer a questionnaire regarding the effectiveness and usability of the system. The results showed that the
system has been helpful to students in conducting research surveys, and the research trend transitions that our system presented
were effective for producing research trend surveys. Moreover, the results showed that most students had favorable attitudes toward
the usage and usability of the system, and those students were satisfied in gaining more know ledge in a particular research field
in a short period.

Design and Implementation of an Online Auxiliary System for Correcting Japanese Composition  (pages 45-57)
Yuqin Liu, Guohai Jiang, Lanling Han, and Mingxing Lin
In language learning, error correction information given by teachers for student compositions is of great value in both teaching and
learning. However, in traditional paper-based error correction mode, error correction information is easily lost and cannot be fed
back to students systematically. The aim of this research is to provide maximum feedback related to systematic correction for
students and teachers so that there can be targeted learning and teaching. This paper describes a web-based auxiliary error
correcting system for Japanese writing that compares compositions before and after error correction and provides statistics related
to error type, error frequency, and error variation. The system was evaluated in the Dalian University of Technology and the
experiment proved that teachers and students benefit from this system.

Technical Feasibility of a Mobile Context-Aware (Social) Learning Schedule Framework (pages 58-73)
Jane Y. K. Yau, and Mike Joy
The purpose of this paper is to show the technical feasibility of implementing their mobile context-aware learning schedule (mCALS)
framework as a software application on a mobile device using current technologies, prior to its actual implementation. This process
draws a set of compatible mobile and context-aware technologies at present and can be used as a reference point for implementing
generic mobile context-aware applications. The authors' mCALS framework retrieves the learner's location and available time
contexts via the built-in learning schedule (i.e., electronic organizer) on a mobile device. These contexts together with the
learner's learning styles and knowledge level (on a selected topic) are used as the basis for the software application to suggest
learning materials that are appropriate for the learner, at the time of usage. This retrieval approach eliminates the use of
context-aware technologies and the need to directly request the user to enter context information at the time of usage. The authors
develop a fully functional prototype of this framework for learners to plan their individual as well as social learning activities
amongst one another to make their individual learning processes collaborative and as a way to enhance individual and social learning
experiences.

The Emerging Learning Design 2013 Conference is pleased to announce the
title and abstract of our Keynote Presentation by Dr. Christopher Hoadley
(see below).  *
Registration is currently open and can be found at
http://eld.montclair.edu/registration/

The conference presentations are still being confirmed but the current
schedule can be found at http://eld.montclair.edu/schedule/

Keynote
The Death Of Content: Why Universities and Schools are (and aren?t) being
replaced by the Internet
In this talk, I argue that the current coin of the realm in
academia?content?is dying and that universities need to radically rethink
their role in the world. MOOCs, homeschooling, and the shadow education
system all are evidence that the 20th century role of schools is
decreasingly relevant. But does this mean that schools will become
obsolete? I argue that schools face a choice: use technology to enhance
their current functions but hasten their demise, or use technology to
transform themselves and capitalize on 17th century strengths to be a
cornerstone of the 21st century knowledge economy. I offer some ideas on
how to reconceptualize the notion of ?schools? based on the latest research
in learning and on ancient ideas about how to teach.

Dr. Chris Hoadley is associate professor in the Educational Communication
and Technology Program and the Program in Digital Media Design for
Learning. He has over 35 years of experience in designing, building, and
studying ways for computers to enhance collaboration and learning.
Currently his research focuses on collaborative technologies and computer
support for cooperative learning (CSCL). Hoadley is the director of
dolcelab, the Laboratory for Design Of Learning, Collaboration &
Experience. He is an affiliate scholar for the National Academy of
Engineering?s Center for the Advancement of Scholarship in Engineering
Education (CASEE) and was awarded a Fulbright for 2008-2009 in the South
Asia Regional program to study educational technologies for sustainability
and empowerment in rural Himalayan villages. Other interests include
research on and through design, systems for supporting social capital and
distributed intelligence, the role of informatics and digital libraries in
education, and science and engineering education. Hoadley previously
chaired the American Educational Research Association?s Special Interest
Group for Education in Science and Technology (now SIG: Learning Sciences),
and served as the first president of the International Society for the
Learning Sciences. Hoadley earned his baccalaureate in cognitive science
from MIT, and a masters in computer science and doctorate in education from
UC Berkeley. He previously taught at Stanford University, Mills College,
and Penn State University in education, computer science, and information
sciences.

Hi there,

Does anyone have a way to search for a particular post on Facebook? I've
tried a few ways, with no success...

Thanks!

This is one of the main reasons Facebook is for the here-and-now and not
much else. Historical data is quite useful to the company, but unsearchable
and largely inaccessible to everyone else.

If you know what page it's on, you can scroll down and let the page fill
with posts (hours worth? Days worth? Years worth? Scroll farther back than
you expect it to appear), then search on the page (CNTRL-F).

If you know it's within your data (your posts? Your page), you might still
be able to export everything and search that way?

Message-ID: <CAFKgRuoGCEDXSqcfMQ92gSLPiLE--jf=kf_+mFW-Ffib4Z0CPA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi~,

I am looking for current research on collective intelligence and online
collaboration including wikipedia, peer-production, and open innovation. I
did a research on this issue about 3-4 years ago. Those books by Axel
Bruns(2008), Yochai Benkler(2006), Charles Leadbeater(2008), and Tapscott &
Williams(2006) was very helpful at that time.

Please let me know any current books or papers on this subject.

Many thanks in advance.

Have you looked into HootSuite already? It can create streams based on searches of public FB posts -- max 3 terms, basic Boolean operators. Not sure about its capacity for historical searches or exporting data, though.

The search function of the Facebook Graph API has a two week rolling 
window, I believe. Double Twitter's, but not helpful for historical 
searches. However, if you know the wall your desired post is on, you can 
pull posts all the way back to the beginning with no time limit as long 
as you have access to the account you wish to pull from (so it either 
has to be public or you have to be friends with the 
person/organization). ~DEEN

Dear All,



I am a social psychologist from E?tv?s University, Budapest, Hungary, and
together with my colleague, Anna Kende, we are planning to submit a special
issue proposal to the European Journal of Social Psychology. We hope to see
a collection of articles which challenge some of the basic concepts of
social psychology, especially in connection to groups, intergroup
relations, prejudice, identity, categorisation, collective action, and
reflect the relevance of paying attention to social media,  Facebook,
Twitter, etc. If you are interested in publishing in this issue, please
send me a short summary about your research in order to mention it in our
proposal (until 21st of April).



Please feel free to contact me, if you have any further questions!

Dear All

I am planning to design an intensive course (internet for social research)
that can help graduate students in their research work. What I really
wanted to address is :: .


Identifying gurus in the field ( with some kind of profiling )

Identification of key 'knowledge tribes'

Identification of most influential readings

Some tools to visually map agreements/
debates/ methodological  preferences/ ( examples?)

Parallel streams of research

I found this forum/place as a very helpful resource . Thanks all !

Kind Regards,

Message-ID: <CAOZdbQZMTtfvDBxpO5oPLy1+opg4RUXLhG6m6aue2tLCHX=kgA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Colleagues,

I invite chapter proposals for a volume entitled Digital Business
Discourse, to be published by Palgrave in the series *Palgrave Studies in
Professional and Organizational Discourse*.

*Digital Business Discourse*

Proposal submission deadline* 26 May 2013*

address: *dbd at darics.co.uk**
*
Recent scholarship on business discourse either only scarcely registers
computer-mediated discourse, or struggles to meaningfully combine the
findings of the scholarship of organizational studies and
linguistic/ computer-mediated discourse studies. The proposed volume
of *Digital
Business Discourse* is aimed to fill this gap by bringing together research
addressing the interactional practices enabled by the various mediated
communication modes currently used in the professional workplace or virtual
work teams. The main aim of the volume is to bring together research on
computer-mediated or digital business discourse, specifically studies that
include language or discourse-focussed analysis of naturally occurring
digital business interactions. The manuscripts sought are 7,000-9,000 words
long, containing original, previously unpublished research.

For further details please download the Call for Chapter
Proposals<http://erika.darics.co/download/digital_business_discourse_call.pdf>
.

Looking forward to the interesting chapter ideas!

Hi all,

I really appreciate the responses and suggestions I've head back about my
inquiry about finding a facebook post.

To clarify: I'm not looking for a personal post, I'm looking for a specific
post on a specifically available page.

Graph search may be helpful, but I don't have access to it yet. An API
query may be helpful, but I don't have time to set one up. I went back to
the page and looked at all of the posts from the date in question, and I
didn't see the post that I'm looking for. Knowing that wall displays are
sometimes incomplete and wondering if the display varies, I looked at that
date on that page a second time and still didn't see the post. I've tried
to look through exterior search engines, to no avail. I've also tried the
hootsuite app, but not the desktop version. I wonder if the post has been
removed from the page?

Thanks,
Casey

Subject: [Air-L] New book by Andrew McStay
Message-ID: <CAEVZ2O1Kz-QT2-+LvxTz17jOusrQuQSxt0WcSys3jXHnLh_tKA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello AOIR-folk,

I have a new book out with Routledge titled "Creativity and
Advertising: Affect,
Events and Process?. This is somewhat different to my past forays into
digital advertising and privacy as it focuses on the centrality of
creativity to advertising, and the ways in which it ?miraculates? it. The
blurb describes it thus:

?Creativity and Advertising develops novel ways to theorise advertising and
creativity. Arguing that combinatory accounts of advertising based on
representation, textualism and reductionism are of limited value, Andrew
McStay suggests that advertising and creativity are better recognised in
terms of the ?event?. Drawing on a diverse set of philosophical influences
including Scotus, Spinoza, Vico, Kant, Schiller, James, Dewey,
Schopenhauer, Whitehead, Bataille, Heidegger and Deleuze, the book posits a
sensational, process-based, transgressive, lived and embodied approach to
thinking about media, aesthetics, creativity and our interaction with
advertising.

Elaborating an affective account of creativity, McStay assesses creative
advertising from Coke, Evian, Google, Sony, Uniqlo and Volkswagen among
others, and articulates the ways in which award-winning creative
advertising may increasingly be read in terms of co-production,
playfulness, ecological conceptions of media, improvisation, and immersion
in fields and processes of corporeal affect.

Philosophically wide-ranging yet grounded in robust understanding of
industry practices, the book will also be of use to scholars with an
interest in aesthetics, art, design, media, performance, philosophy and
those with a general interest in creativity.?

If your interest is piqued, the link to the publisher's page is:
http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415519557/

Do also drop me a line at mcstay at bangor.ac.uk if you are looking at similar
sorts of topics, interested in collaborating or would like me to come and
give a talk :)

All best,

Andy

 meeting--June, Seattle
Message-ID: <397706A958B22849BDBFDD9248B1F68F195E8634@UWIT-MBX05.exchange.washington.edu>

>From a colleague, David McDonald:



Call for Participation

2013 Social Computational Systems (SoCS) Community Meeting June 28-29, 2013 Seattle, Washington





The Social Computational Systems (SoCS) program, funded and managed by the National Science Foundation, was called out as a model Social Computing program in the January 2013 PCAST Report "Designing a Digital Future: Federally Funded Research and Development in Networking and Information Technology". Given this recent attention, it is important to identify key attributes that serve to make research programs successful and valuable. Further, the attention provides the opportunity to consider future research trajectories in Social Computing to begin informing the trajectory of any potential follow-on programs.



The SoCS Community Meeting will be part of the 2013 SoCS PI Meeting to be held June 28-29 in Seattle, Washington. The goal of the Community Meeting is to spur conversations about what has made SoCS successful and what might serve to make future programs intellectually challenging and interesting to the growing research community.





Individuals who would like to participate in the 2013 SoCS Community Meeting should submit a 4 page position paper on one of the two following topics:



1. The Best of Social Computing Research - Position papers in this topic should consider 1-3 outstanding research contributions that should be promoted as exemplary research contributions to Social Computing (broadly construed). The position paper should describe which technologes, methods, features, attributes, insights, or measures contribute to each papers status as a "best" in Social Computing.



2. Future Challenges for Social Computing Research - Position papers addressing this topic will focus on describing 1-3 research challenges that cannot be solved today, but which, if studied and solved, would drive the area of Social Computing to make critical advances to Computing and at least one other research discipline (e.g., psychology, sociology, political science, behavioral economics, social networks, cultural studies, communications, organization science, etc.). For each challenge the position paper should outline what would likely need to be provided as infrastructure, what types of research collaborations would be necessary, and how the broader impacts of the challenge could be realized.





Position papers should be submitted in email as PDF attachments to <socs.meeting.2013 at gmail.com<mailto:socs.meeting.2013 at gmail.com>> by MONDAY MAY 6, 2013. Participation will be competitive based on review of the position papers. We anticipate extending between 12 and 20 invitations to attend. Invited attendees will be provided travel support that should cover the majority of their expenses to attend the meeting.

Dear All,

I apologize. When I sent my initial email about these openings last week, I did not realize that our Chronicle ad was so close to expiring. The positions remain open and applications are still being accepted.

Here is a link to the posting for both jobs on the UT Dallas website: http://provost.utdallas.edu/facultyjobs/

My apologies for any confusion.

 #memorystudieslive

University of Glasgow, Wednesday 17th April 2013, 9am-5.50pm BST


Does promiscuous media make for promiscuous memory? Even the sciences-of-the-mind increasingly search for cognition ? the mental process of awareness, perception, remembering ? outside of the head, extended and distributed across digital/social worlds. Memory is breaking out of the archive, the organization, the institution, increasingly diffused across brains, bodies, and personal and public lives. Has the digital leached away scarcity, trust, obligation, and much of memory?s former faithful companions? ?Memory? today seems different, strange, but which has also acquired (paradoxically) new force and new uncertainties.
Is connectivity irresistible? Is memory lost to the machine? Is the archive broken?
Six leading experts in the fields of media archaeology, media studies and memory studies assess the emergent forces of remembering and forgetting in the new media ecology:
Wolfgang Ernst, Humboldt University, Berlin.
Jussi Parikka, Winchester School of Art
Wulf Kansteiner, SUNY, Binghamton
Jos? van Dijck, University of Amsterdam
Anna Reading, King's College London

Call for Papers (Special Issue) - Deadline: 15.05.2013

Transformation of Citizenship and Governance - Asia Focus: The
Challenges of Social and Mobile Media
 Guest
 Editors: Marko M. Skoric (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore),
 Nojin Kwak (University of Michigan, USA), Ines Mergel (Maxwell School 
of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University), and Peter 
Parycek (Danube University Krems, Austria)
 The proliferation of 
social media and mobile phones over the last decade has spurred 
significant interest in their civic and political implications not only 
within the scholarly community, but also among journalists, 
practitioners, activists, policy-makers, and ordinary citizens. While 
the role of new media platforms in facilitating macro-level political 
changes has generally attracted most attention, these new communication 
tools are also actively utilized in more traditional civic and political
 processes, including community initiatives and electoral campaigns. 
Also important is people?s everyday use of new technologies, which 
research has uncovered as providing an opportunity to encounter public 
affairs news and discourse, enhance understanding of issues, and get 
involved in civic and political activities. Further to this, social and 
mobile media platforms have created new channels and means for citizens 
to interact with governments and other political institutions, monitor 
their functioning, and more actively participate in policy-making 
processes. There is little doubt that the emerging social and mobile 
media practices, including content generation, collaboration, and 
network organization, are changing our understanding of governance and 
politics.
 While the above changes are already widely debated in 
mature, developed Western democracies, there is an even greater need to 
address them in the context of rapidly developing Asian societies. 
Although countries in Asia vary greatly in terms of the levels of 
economic and political development, quality of information and 
communication infrastructure, as well as their cultural, political and 
religious traditions, the arrival of networked new media platforms has 
lead to some similar socio-political shifts. Those include an increasing
 diversity of voices in the public sphere, greater visibility of 
political discourse, increased demands for transparency and 
accountability, and a significantly improved capacity for decentralized 
civic and political action.
 This special issue is aimed at 
showcasing innovative scholarly works examining various subjects 
concerning the role of social media, mobile phones, and other new 
technologies in the formation of democratic citizenship and good 
governance in Asia. We seek studies that address relevant topics in a 
particular Asian country, and also welcome comparative research on Asian
 countries or Asian and non-Asian countries. A special section in the 
journal will cover those Asian cases, while we also encourage to submit 
authors covering the issues topic with a non-Asian focus to submit their
 work for a second section.
 The authors are encouraged to explore diverse topics, and possible
areas include (but are not limited to):
 Use of social media, mobile phones, and other new communication
technologies in electionsUse of social and mobile media by civic and
grassroots groupsInfluence of new media on citizen choices,
participation, and knowledgePatterns of new media use and civic and
political consequencesSocial media to engage citizens; smart & mobile

ECREA Digital Culture and Communication

Call for Papers ? Digital Culture: Promises and Discomforts

EXTENDED DEADLINE: May, 15

The ongoing mediatisation process is subject to social transformations 
as well as technical innovation processes and creative practices. We 
endorse digital technologies with the promises of a better way of 
life, solving our problems of managing the world?s complexity, 
allowing better participatory policies and helping us in our daily 
life. At the same time, however, we are confronted with the 
fundamental problems of technological structures, such as the problems 
of Internet surveillance, control and the unequal distribution of 
power on the Web. Looking at digital cultures as a driving force of 
social change, we find ourselves confronted with a variety of 
contradictory images of digital culture and its possible futures.

In this workshop we want to critically discuss the promises and 
discomforts of digital culture taking into account the tensions raised 
by different material practices, understandings and social orders 
around the role of digital media in performing social change. Special 
focus lies on the three aspects of Digital Culture:

(1) Digital imaginations and narratives
The images of future are drawn in tecno-scapes, like in 
science-fiction films, artificial intelligence designs, virtual worlds 
or metaverses. What kinds of individuals, societies and environments 
are imagined through the growing pervasiveness of Digital Culture into 
our lives? How digital imaginaries shape our experience and relate to 
our ways of narrating ourselves and our creative practices? What are 
the role of innovation, creative industries and urbanlabs in the 
design of the future and in the different kinds of social 
intervention? How digital imagination is performing new narrative 
forms as well as transforming knowledge production and sharing?

(2) Digital Neighbourhoods and Citizenship
Among the existing networked digital technologies it is smartphones 
and tablet computers, which are becoming increasingly popular at an 
extraordinary pace. These devices not only make digital media 
applications truly ubiquitous but also create an abundance of digital 
location-sensitive information, which saturates local places, social 
relations, and the perception and organisation of neighbourhoods. The 
concept of space turns into a mash-up of  material and digital places, 
creating new forms of the social while at the same time renegotiating 
the cultural and political logics of local/global or private/public. 
How does the use of digital media trigger new social phenomena, such 
as altered forms and modes of communication, collaboration, 
consumption, infrastructure, mobility or public service?

(3) Digital Engagement and Social Change
Digital engagement manifests itself in a broad range of digital 
practices. People discursively engage through and with digital media 
and thus dissolve spatial, temporal and social boundaries. Especially 
a few popular commercial social networks, like Facebook and Twitter, 
are presumed to play a crucial role in the process of social change by 
means of interaction and connectivity. On a political dimension, 
citizens and activists voice their opinions, discuss political issues, 
organize and mobilize for protest in new or alternative public 
spheres. However, it remains unclear, whether and in which 
differentiations digital media engagement affects established power 
relations and thus promotes social change. Which diverse forms of 
political engagement unfold in digital media environments? How can 
underlying technological and power structures of media be rendered 
visible and to what extent do they affect the possibilities and 
boundaries of digital engagement?

We welcome papers picking up any of the described issues and topics 
and we will also consider contributions related with digital forms of 
social intervention, art projects or urbanlabs proposals. Extended 
abstracts should be no longer than 700 words, written in English and 
contain a clear outline of the argument, the theoretical framework, 
methodology and results (if applicable). Participants may submit more 
than one proposal, but only one paper by the same first author might 
be accepted. Panel and paper proposals from PhD students and early 
career scholars are particularly welcome. All proposals should be 
submitted by May 15, 2013 to ecreadigitalculture at gmail.com. 
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out after June 30, 2013.

Keynote Speakers

We are delighted to announce the following two keynote speakers:

Annette Markham (Ume? University, Sweden) ? topic to be announced
Jakob Svensson (Karlstad University, Sweden) will give a lecture on 
?New Media for Development?

The workshop will take place at the Department of Media Studies of the 
University of Bonn, Germany
Poppelsdorfer Allee 47, 53115, Bonn.

The conference date is October 2nd ? 5th, 2013.

This HICSS minitrack has been ongoing since 2003 under various titles. Papers address the interrelationship between social media and communities in all aspects of our (online and offline) lives.  We call for papers that address research, theory, practice, and/or policy around our new interlinkages via social media in support of communities of practice, inquiry, and interest  for business, political, social, learning, and gaming initiatives and outcomes.
 
Until this year, this minitrack has been in the Internet and Digital Economy Track. Due to its overwhelming success, the minitrack has become a founding part of the new Track: Digital and Social Media. In previous years, the minitrack has been among the largest at the conference, and ?best papers? from the minitrack have often received the ?Best Paper in Track? awards.
 
We call for papers that address issues of online communities of practice, inquiry and interest created in the interest of political, educational, business, social and/or gaming pursuits, and with attention to how online community building and management contribute to success in these endeavors. Papers are welcomed that address wholly online communities, as well as those that address the interplay between online and offline means of interaction; the use of single media, as well as those that address the way different media support community practice; and community, as well as crowd-based collectives online.
 
Examples of possible interdisciplinary topics of interest in these contexts include, but are not limited to the following:
 
Social, political and/or economic impact of social media
Crowds and Communities as sociological phenomenon in the digital economy
Community development and community informatics
Design, development, and user studies of social media
Design of online crowds and/or communities of practice, inquiry or interest
Online learning communities: structures, implementations, and practices
Serious leisure online
Organizational behavior of communities
Behavior in online gaming communities
Social network studies and analyses of online crowds and communities
Mobile applications, services and use for and by online communities
Case studies and topologies of online communities
Case studies and analyses of the rise and fall of social network sites and online communities
Theoretical models of online crowds and communities, social media use, etc.
Models and cases of synergies and/or conflicts between offline and online worlds
Critical perspectives on social media and local and/or virtual community
Research methods for the study of social networking and community

Social Media & Learning
This minitrack calls for papers that address leading edge use of technology, research methods and system design to analyze and support learning in social networks. The ability to generate and maintain rich networked connections through social media, social networking, crowdsourcing, cloud technology, and social computing has a profound impact on the way we solve problems, learn, innovate and develop our identities, and the value this creates for individuals and groups. This minitrack will bring together state of the art research that furthers social theories of networking and learning, such as networked learning, collaborative learning, viral learning, and social capital, in combination with for example social and learning analytics and social network analysis to help visualize, develop and facilitate formal, non-formal and informal networking and learning settings.
 
We call for papers that use, analyze and/or develop technology and online tools to examine social networking and learning phenomena through social media. We specifically welcome papers that address new and exciting areas of research in the networking and learning potential of social media or the potential value social media creates for connectivity, development, and growth. Some of this work might be driven by social media and networking research in relation to education, organizations, gaming, simulation and 3d worlds. We encourage papers that address learning and value creation through social media in any setting: education, work, daily life, home, and ?serious leisure?. Appropriate social media and learning behavior ranges from same-time, same-place to anytime, anywhere that increases interactions among participants via social media in formal and informal learning settings and mixtures thereof, and may include collectives from learning crowds to communities, teams and networks of practice.
 
We envision that papers will:
?      examine the foundations for social media and learning in online networks, crowds and communities;
?      analyze and/or support the role of social media and networks in learning;
?      address value creation in social media and online communities and networks;
?      develop methods for analyzing social media and learning;
?      implement social network analysis to reflect social media, networking and learning processes;
?      address awareness and visualization of social networks and communities;
?      develop metrics for characterizing and following social networking and learning trends;
?      implement and develop tools for automated data capture and data analytics on social networking and learning;
?      discuss empirical trends in social networking and learning on and through the Internet, including issues and opportunities relating to information literacy, literacy and new media, ubiquitous learning, viral learning and entrepreneurial learning;
?      examine economic models, trends and markets for social media and learning, including open source and open access and viral models;
?      examine the design and facilitation of social media and learning in online networks, crowds and communities;
?      show development and use of new social media tools, devices (laptops, mobiles, OLPC ), and spaces and their networking and value creation potential; or
?      discuss ethical issues relating to learning online, including issues relating to data capture, analysis and display, and learning about controversial subjects or anti-social activities.
 
 
This minitrack ? SOCIAL MEDIA & LEARNING -- is part of the DIGITAL & SOCIAL MEDIA track at HICSS.

Call for Papers



*Tensions of Rhetorics and Realities in Critical
Diversities*<https://tensionsrhetoricsrealities.wordpress.com/call-for-papers/>



Edited by

Alexa Athelstan, Nichole Edwards, Mercedes P?ll & Sanaz Raji

(University of Leeds)



We warmly invite your contributions to our edited collection entitled *Tensions
of Rhetorics and Realities. *The book will be submitted to the Routledgeseries
* Advances in Critical Diversities *(eds. Yvette Taylor and Sally Hines).



This collection orientates itself towards an understanding of diversity as
an often misappropriated concept used to obscure and maintain existing
inequalities rather than to further their deconstruction. Consequently, the
collection intends to (re-)emphasize the importance of looking at
diversities not from a one-dimensional level, but with consideration of the
multiple positioned and intersecting viewpoints and contexts that shape the
diversity of human existence ? thereby allowing for a constructive and *
critical* engagement with related issues.



Encouraging a strongly intersectional and interdisciplinary approach, *Tensions
of Rhetorics and Realities* seeks to investigate and theorize the spaces of
conflict, discrepancy, contradiction or difficulty that can arise when
dealing with discourses and practices, policies and lived experiences,
theories and methodologies, individuals or communities. Incompatibilities
or infeasibilities within those domains can easily lead to tensions or
idiosyncrasies. A particular focus on *rhetorics* and
*realities*highlights the critically of the ways in which diversity
issues are being
framed, understood and dealt with in various settings and by various
actors. This collection will therefore approach diversities* *critically ?
as a site of real-life impacts and circumstances, as a concept and a
strategy ? while maintaining the awareness that diversity efforts remain
subject to their proponents? positionalities, ideologies, moral and value
judgments, economic and political aims, and a variety of other contextual
factors illustrating their situatedness. At the same time, the individuals
and groups intended for or affected by diversity measures are subjects to
their own contextual circumstances.



We welcome submissions from all academic disciplines investigating *Tensions
of Rhetorics and Realities in Critical Diversities*. Within this framework,
topics may include (but are not limited to):



   - Social, political and economic measures of inclusion/exclusion
   - Equality, inequality and the in-between
   - Individual, collective, institutional or systematic agency
   - Sites of power and power dynamics (e.g. the nation-state, the law,
   citizenship, social spheres, the media)
   - Characteristics of ?desirable? or ?undesirable? states of society
   (e.g. multiculturalism)
   - States of crisis and critically
   - Contemporary political trends and diversity (e.g. neoliberalism,
   benefit cuts)
   - Social movements, activism and identity politics (e.g. LGBTQIA* rights)
   - Different ?publics? and lived experiences of division/communality
   - Practices of representation and recognition (e.g. in the media, policy)

?       Tokenism and political correctness

   - Policing and censorship
   - Identities as multi-layered, *diverse* categories for social engagement
   - Intimacy practices, a-/sexuality and normativity
   - Gendered lives, realities and expectations
   - Racisms, anti-racisms and ?post?-racisms
   - Colonialisms, ?post?-colonialisms and neo-colonialisms
   - Feminisms, ?post?-feminisms and men?s rights movements
   - Issues of dis-/ability in the home, the public sphere or the workplace
   - Questions of faith ? religions and atheisms
   - Class, non-/belonging and socio-economic mobility
   - Privileged positionalities and subaltern knowledges
   - In-/visibility and potential of queer, DIY, alternative or grassroots
   spaces and efforts
   - Climate, ecology and the state of the ?natural? world
   - Diversity policies and organisational practice
   - Articulating Critical Diversities ? the language of diversity issues
   - Media discourses on diversity and difference
   - Humour as a means of/against discrimination
   - Critical Diversities in the academy
   - Divides between theories and practices of diversity
   - Methodologies for researching and assessing Critical Diversities





Please submit your *300 word abstract, a short biography and your contact
details* to tensions.rhetorics.realities at gmail.com by the deadline of
*10thJune 2013
*. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions! Please feel free

?Online Collective Action and Policy Change?  - Special Issue of ?Policy and Internet"

Guest Editors:
Andrea Calderaro (European University Institute) and Anastasia Kavada (University of Westminster)

Abstract
The Internet has multiplied the platforms available to influence public opinion and policy making. It has also provided citizens with a greater capacity for coordination and mobilisation, which can strengthen their voice and representation in the policy agenda. As waves of protest sweep both authoritarian regimes and liberal democracies, this rapidly developing field calls for more detailed enquiry. However, research exploring the relationship between online mobilisation and policy change is still limited. This special issue of ?Policy and Internet? addresses this gap through a variety of perspectives. Contributions to this issue view the Internet both as a tool that allows citizens to influence policy making, and as an object of new policies and regulations, such as data retention, privacy, and copyright laws, around which citizens are mobilising. Together, these articles offer a comprehensive empirical account of the interface between online collective action and policy making.

You can find the issue here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/poi3.v5.1/issuetoc

CALL FOR AWARD APPLICATIONS

Carl J. Couch Internet Research Award 2013

Sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research
http://www.cccsir.com/

The Carl Couch Center issues an international call for
student-authored papers to be considered for Carl J. Couch Internet
Research Award. The Couch Center welcomes both theoretical and
empirical papers that apply symbolic interactionist approaches to
internet studies.

According to basic symbolic interactionist premises, what we
understand as self, identity, relationship, and cultural formations
are constructed dialogically and interactively.  While the works of
George H. Mead, Georg Simmel, Erving Goffman and other leading
symbolic interactionists have been integral to the study of social
interaction, Carl Couch was among the first from this tradition to
suggest the importance of engaging in the study of mediated
interaction. It is critical that symbolic interactionists move boldly
forward, beyond Couch's initial suggestion, to study what has become
for many a dominant form of communication in their everyday life.

Whether we research identities, emotion, memory, family, work, career,
presentations of self, deception, love, loss or other areas, the
impact of mediated communication is felt by those interacting within
it.  As internet-related media continue to influence our everyday
interactions--not only with other people but also with technologies,
devices, algorithms, platform parameters, and so forth--it becomes
crucial for symbolic interactionists to attend to the role of these
mediating factors in the interaction process.

We encourage any paper that uses a symbolic interactionist approach in
internet studies. We also encourage papers that explore the interface
between deliberate social interaction and structured (or automated)
interactions sponsored or enacted by various technological features,
exploring not only how identities, relations, and social formations
are negotiated through social interactions, but also how these
interactions are mediated further through the use or capacities of
various technologies.

Papers will be evaluated based on the quality of (1) mastery of
symbolic interactionist approaches and concepts, (2) originality, (3)
organization, (4) presentation, and (5) advancement of knowledge.
Those contemplating entering should note that an interactionist
approach demands thoughtful analysis, and not mere description, of
social interactions. Evaluation will be administered by a Review
Committee of four:

Mark D. Johns, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa
Jennifer Dunn, Texas Tech University, Lubbock
Annette Markham, University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee
Lois Ann Scheidt, Indiana University, Bloomington

Competition is open to graduate or undergraduate students of all
disciplines. Works that are published or accepted for publication are
not eligible for award consideration. Entries should be in English and
not exceed 30 pages (approximately 7500 words) in length, including
references and appendices. Limit of one entry per student per year.

The top paper will receive Couch Award to be presented at the 2013
meeting of the Association of Internet Researchers (aoir.org) at the
University of Denver. The top paper will be awarded a certificate and
a cash prize of $300 US and the author will be invited to present
their work at a session of the AoIR conference, October 24-27, 2013 in
Denver, Colorado, USA.

Candidates should send a copy of their paper, with a 100-word
abstract, electronically to Mark Johns at mjohns at luther.edu
Application deadline is May 15, 2013. Notification of award will be
sent by June 15.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

ECCS '13
Computational Social Science: From Social Contagion to Collective Behaviour

Barcelona, 19 September 2013
http://microsites.oii.ox.ac.uk/collectivecontagion/

Important Dates:
Abstract submission deadline: 30 June 2013
Conference date: 19 September 2013

Event Overview
Intense scientific debate is going around the definition of the foundational concepts and appropriate methodological approaches to deal with the understanding of social dynamics. These challenges are aiming to understand human behavior in its complexity driven by intentional (and not necessarily rational) decisions and influenced by a multitude of factors. The functioning of communication-based mechanisms requires individuals to interact in order to acquire information to cope with uncertainty and thus deeply rely on the accuracy and on the completeness of information (if any). In fact, people's perceptions, knowledge, beliefs and opinions about the world and its evolution, get (in)formed and modulated through the information they can access. Moreover their response is not linear as individuals can react by accepting, refusing, or elaborating (and changing) the received information.

Technology-mediated social collectives are taking an important role in the design of social structures. Yet our understanding of the complex mechanisms governing networks and collective behaviour is still quite shallow. Fundamental concepts like authority, leader-follower dynamics, conflict or collaboration in online networks are still not well defined and investigated - but they are crucial to illuminate the advantages and pitfalls of this form of collective decision-making (which can cancel out individual mistakes, but also make them spiral out of control).
The aim of this satellite is to address the question of ICT mediated social phenomena emerging in multiple scales ranging from the interactions of individuals to the emergence of self-organized global movements. We would like to gather researchers from different disciplines to form a forum to discuss ideas, research questions, recent results, and future challenges in this emerging area of research and public interest.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

.	Interdependent social contagion process
.	Peer production and mass collaboration
.	Temporally evolving networks and stream analytics

Subject: [Air-L] CFP: MOOCs, Flipping the Classroom,
 and Transformation of Higher Education: Building Bridges from the
 Academy (of Management) to the Academy
Message-ID: <516FC22F.8080201@umd.edu>

*MOOCs, Flipping the Classroom, and Transformation of Higher Education: 
**Building Bridges from the Academy (of Management) to the Academy *

Online and August 10, 2013
(prior to the Academy of Management Annual Meeting)
Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), FL USA//
//
/Call for Participation/
Recent innovations have generated considerable discussion about the 
transformation of higher education. Massively open online courses 
(MOOCs) run by entrepreneurial startups using social media to provide 
educational experiences for thousands of students. Open courseware 
repositories and learning platforms for "flipping the classroom", moving 
exposition online and experiential, group activities into the classroom. 
Market and social pressures driving traditional educational institutions 
to simultaneously increase scale, reduce costs, and continually 
innovate. Seemingly constant change, presents unknown consequences for 
the work, practices, positions, and identity of faculty, staff, and 
students. Waves of technological, pedagogical, and institutional 
innovation are either fundamental transformations or distracting fads.

These forces affect us in many ways.As faculty, changes in higher 
education directly affect our work, professional identity, and personal 
well-being. As educators, new technologies and institutional 
arrangements create new opportunities and constraints for working with 
students. As leaders, changing competitive environments affect the 
viability and health of our institutions and the choices we make about 
regulatory structures, joint-ventures, personnel, and investments.

At the same time, researchers have studied exactly the kinds of issues 
we are observing in higher education, but in other settings. Disruptive 
technologies; implications and development of knowledge and information 
repositories; institutional and inter-organizational competitive 
dynamics; individual, group, organizational, and population learning; 
the strengths and limitations of virtual teams; the dual nature of 
structure and routines; tensions between immediate adaptation and 
long-term viability; and the nature of work practices in 
knowledge-intensive organizations. These are just a few areas in which 
we have conducted research relevant for understanding and managing the 
ongoing transformation of higher education.

Although there is an extensive body of relevant knowledge, collectively 
we rarely make critical connections back to the ongoing discussions 
about the nature and future of higher education. In spite of this, 
discussions about higher education transformations are often based on 
anecdotes, opinion, and isolated experience of commentators, activists, 
and pundits --leaving faculty, students, administrators, and 
policymakers even more confused about what they should expect and 
prepare for in the future.

*A2A Workshop Objectives and Deliverables *

The purpose of the Academy (of Management) to Academy Workshop (A2A) is 
to build connections between state-of-the-art management, organization 
studies, and information systems research and the policy, institutional, 
and professional discussions prompted by the ongoing transformation of 
higher education. By making these connections more explicit we seek to:

?Help participants better understand and explain the trends affecting 
their organizations

?Provide high-value entry points into the management research literature 
for leaders grappling with organizational, institutional, and 
technological changes in higher education

?Identify opportunities for advancing the study of institutional, 
strategic, and technological change in knowledge-intensive environments 
by highlighting issues in higher education that are not well addressed 
by existing theory or empirical work

To achieve these objectives, the A2A Workshop will focus on the 
development of a set of 1-2 page briefs that build strategic connections 
between issues in higher education and current management, organization, 
and information systems research. Each brief will consider a specific 
issue or trend (e.g. the implications of online education for faculty 
work-life balance; the strategic implications of MOOCs for state 
universities; etc.); identify 3-4 published studies that provide 
theoretical and empirical bases for understanding and addressing the 
issue; and provide a short statement of how that work can be used to 
understand, explain, and respond to the focal issue.

The completed briefs and a summary of directions for new research will 
be made publically available through the website of the Center of the 
Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) 
<http://casci.umd.edu/> at the University of Maryland.Other publication 
outlets (conference paper, journals, etc.) will be pursued based on the 
interest workshop participants.

*Applying for and Participating in the A2A Workshop *

To apply for the A2A Workshop, prepare a short (1-2 page) position paper 
describing a specific issue in higher education, why it is important, 
and how management, organizational, and/or information systems 
scholarship is relevant for that issue.For full consideration please 
submit your position paper to the A2A co-coordinator by (Brian Butler) 
at bsbutler at umd.edu by May 10th, 2013.

All applicants will be invited to participate in the A2A blog. This 
blog/wiki will contain regular posts that highlight current issues in 
higher education and relevant management research.

Selected applicants will be invited to join a ? day Professional 
Development Workshop (PDW) session on August 10^th from 8am -- 12pm 
(prior to the Academy of Management Annual Meeting 
<http://aom.org/annualmeeting/>).At this session we will work in groups 
to refine the focal issue statements, select the relevant 
theories/concepts/papers, collaboratively create initial drafts, and 
engage in comment and on-the-spot revision of the briefs.

While the specific issues considered will emerge from the submitted 
position papers and online discussions, possible topics include (but are 
not limited to):

?Change management and leadership in academic centers and departments

?Mentoring at a distance

?Intrapreneurship and autonomy in publically funded institutions

?Virtual teams and organizations for research

?Design of learning management systems to support learning analytics

?Differential competitive dynamics in heterogeneous/homogeneous 
organizational fields

?Disruptive technologies in public organizations

?Educational institutions as a site of knowledge work

?Practice theories of technology and innovation

?Organizational and community learning about MOOCs

?Team and individual performance and behavior in turbulent environments

?Learning analytics and continuous improvement

?Identity and innovation in small colleges

?Sociomateriality and educational institutions

?Dynamics of groups and communities in open learning environments

?Professional identity and "alternative" employment arrangements

?Bureaucracy, institutions, innovation and identity in state universities

*Where Do Neoliberals Go After the Market?
Calculation, computation and crisis*

A one-day conference organised by Centre for Interdisciplinary
Methodologies<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/>,
University of Warwick

*13th June 2013
10am-6.30pm
Room S0.21*

Neoliberalism is commonly identified as a belief in the self-regulating
powers of markets, especially financial markets. Markets, from this
perspective, are powerful information-processors, which are uniquely
capable of governing complex societies while preserving liberty. In recent
decades, financial institutions have added further computational power,
which, among other things, has led to the automation of trading and the
calculation and simulation of market scenarios to manage risk. The
financial crisis has been perceived by some as the outcome of this
collision between markets and increasingly ?performative? economics.
But where does this leave neoliberalism and its technical ideal of freedom?
Does it simply require more markets or greater computational power to
prevent future crises? Or are we witnessing the emergence of a different
neoliberalism, based on different technologies and ideologies of liberty,
in appeals to ?Big Data? and ?openness?? Might software and ?open data?
usurp the primacy of the price system in the neoliberal imagination, as
tools of governance in complex modern societies? To what extent are the
political desires of the digital elite ? from Hackers to Silicon Valley ?
amenable to the neoliberal project?

This one-day conference will address these questions from a range of
disciplinary perspectives, including software studies, history of
economics, political theory, media theory, international political economy
and economic sociology.

*Journalism in an Era of Big Data*



Call for papers for a special issue of *Digital Journalism* (Routledge,
Taylor & Francis; http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rdij20/current)



*Submission deadline:*

July 1, 2013 (abstracts)

January 1, 2014 (full papers for peer review)

June 1, 2014 (revised full papers due)



*Guest Editor:* Seth C. Lewis of the University of Minnesota, USA

(*Digital Journalism* Editor: Bob Franklin)

The term ?Big Data? is often invoked to describe the overwhelming volume of
information produced by and about human activity, made possible by the
growing ubiquity of mobile devices, tracking tools, always-on sensors, and
cheap computing storage. In combination with technological advances that
facilitate the easy organizing, analyzing, and visualizing of such data
streams, Big Data represents a social, cultural, and technological
phenomenon with potentially major import for public knowledge and news
information. How is journalism, like other social institutions, responding
to this data abundance? What are the implications of Big Data for
journalism?s norms, routines, and ethics? For its modes of production,
distribution, and audience reception? For its business models and
organizational arrangements? And for the overall sociology and epistemology
of news in democratic society?

This special issue of the international journal *Digital
Journalism*(Routledge, Taylor & Francis) brings together scholarly
work that
critically examines the evolving nature of journalism in an era of Big
Data. This issue aims to explore a range of phenomena at the junction
between journalism and the social, computer, and information
sciences?including the contexts and practices around news-related
algorithms, applications, sophisticated mapping, real-time analytics,
automated information services, dynamic visualizations, and other
computational approaches that rely on massive data sets and their
maintenance. This special issue seeks not simply to describe these tools
and their application in journalism, but rather to develop what Anderson
(2012) calls a ?sociological approach to computational journalism??a frame
of reference that acknowledges the trade-offs, embedded values, and power
dynamics associated with technological change. This special issue thus
encourages a range of critical engagements with the problems as well as
opportunities associated with data and journalism.

The special issue welcomes articles drawing on a variety of theoretical and
methodological approaches, with a preference for empirically driven or
conceptually rich accounts. These papers might touch on a range of themes,
including but not limited to the following:

?      The history (or histories) of computational forms of journalism;

?      The epistemological ramifications of ?data? in contemporary newswork;

?      Norms, routines, and values associated with emerging forms of
data-driven journalism, such as data visualizations, news applications,
interactives, and alternative forms of storytelling;

?      The sociology of new actors connected to computational forms of
journalism, within and beyond newsrooms (e.g., news application teams,
programmer-journalists, tech entrepreneurs, web developers, and hackers);

?      The social, cultural, and technological roles of algorithms,
automation, real-time analytics, and other forms of mechanization in
contemporary newswork, and the implications of such for journalistic roles
and routines;

?      The ethics of journalism in the context of Big Data;

?      The business, managerial, economic, and other labor-related issues
associated with data-centric forms of newswork;

?      Approaches for conceptualizing the distinct nature of emerging
journalisms (e.g., computational journalism, data journalism, algorithmic
journalism, and programmer journalism);

?      The blurring boundaries between ?news? and other types of
information, and the role of Big Data and its related implications in that
process



Articles should be no more than 8,000 words in length, including
references, etc. Please submit an abstract of 600-800 words that clearly
spells out the theoretical construct, research questions, and methods that
will be used. Also include the names, titles, and contact information for
2-3 suggested reviewers. Abstracts are due by July 1, 2013, to
sclewis at umn.edu (with ?DJ special issue? in the subject line). Providing
the abstract meets the criteria for the call, full manuscripts are due by
January 1, 2014 (also to sclewis at umn.edu), at which point they will be
peer-reviewed and considered for acceptance. The proposed date of
publication is 2015. Please contact guest editor Seth C. Lewis with
questions: sclewis at umn.edu. Manuscripts should conform to the guidelines
for Digital Journalism<http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=rdij20&page=instructions>

Overview

There is a reciprocal relationship between art and visualization research ?
New media artists redefine the way that we view science and information,
while experts in science, medicine, informatics, and visualization impact
art practice through new ideas, technologies, and collaborations. The IEEE
VIS 2013 Arts Program showcases high-quality artwork and research that
demonstrates and investigates the exciting and increasingly prominent
intersections between art and visualization. Through an *art show* that
runs concurrently with the IEEE 2013 VIS conference and a dedicated *papers
track*, the Arts Program aims to foster new thinking, discussion, and
collaboration between artists, designers, technologists, visualization
scientists, and others working at the intersection of these fields.

The theme for this year's arts program is *Art+Experiment*. Visualization
research encompasses not only data representation, but also the development
of interaction techniques, explorations of display aesthetics, and
examinations of applied perception. Increasingly, empirical justification
for new visualization techniques is derived through well-designed
experiments. And in fact, much recent research is concerned with the
creation, implementation, replication, and evaluation of user studies in
order to propel the fields of information and scientific visualization. At
the same time, the new media arts community is interested in the creative
possibilities offered by new technologies and new techniques, but also in
developing new methods and presentations to explore and question their
cultural meaning and impact.

What does it mean for an art installation to produce experimental results?
Can an artwork be expressive, challenging, and conceptual, yet
simultaneously rigorous, practical, and empirical? We invite artists and
researchers to think about the connections and chasms between art and
research, and to explore the nature of experimental design and creative
experimentation.

Papers Track

For this year's Arts Program we are including a papers track. Artists,
reseachers, and scholars are invited to submit papers related to the theme
of *Art+Experiment*. There is no fixed minimum or maximum length for the
papers, but they are generally expected to be between 5 and 10 pages.

Papers could discuss any of the following topics:

   - the influence of information visualization techniques on art practice
   - the influence of contemporary art practice on visualization techniques
   - exploration of the history of visualization
   - art and information
   - data visualization art
   - database aesthetics
   - creative visualization techniques
   - experimental interaction techniques
   - design and information aesthetics
   - infographics and art
   - cybernetic art and visualization
   - telematic art and visualization
   - aesthetics of experiment

Accepted authors will present their papers at the Arts Program session
during the conference. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE VIS
2013 Arts Program proceedings. Detailed submission instructions can be
found below.

There is also an art show track.

Digital and interactive technologies are becoming increasingly embedded in everyday lives of people around the world. 
Application of technologies such as real-time, context-aware, and interactive technologies; augmented and immersive 
realities;, social media; and location-based services has been particularly evident in urban environments where 
technological and sociocultural infrastructures enable easier deployment and adoption as compared to non-urban areas. 
There has been growing consumer demand for new forms of experiences and services enabled through these emerging technologies. 
We call this ambient media, as the media is embedded in the natural human living environment. This workshop focuses on 
ambient media services, applications, and technologies that promote people?s engagement in creating and re-creating 
liveliness in urban environments, particularly through arts, culture, and gastronomic experiences.

The workshop takes a multidisciplinary and future oriented approach, and welcomes participants from diverse disciplinary 
domains for open discussions about technological, sociocultural, and content-related aspects of ambient media services 
that support people?s engagement in (re)creating their urban environments into a livelier place through art, cultural, 
and gastronomic experiences. 

Within this context, we welcome submissions relating to (but not limited to) the following:
?	case-studies (successful, and especially unsuccessful ones);
?	speculative and innovative concepts or design;
?	demonstrations of services and applications;
?	user-experience studies and evaluations;
?	artistic installations and contents;
?	social and/or economic studies, businesses models, and marketing 
?	technological novelties, evaluations, and solutions;

The following topics fit within the scope of the workshop:
?	Analysis of videos related to art, culture, and gastronomy
?	Ubiquitous environments and interfaces in lively city environments
?	Intelligent appliances and gadgets supporting art, culture and gastronomy
?	Multimedia learning for activities around smart city environments
?	Locative media and context sensor technologies
?	Artistic, cultural, and gastronomic services and applications;
?	Socio-economic studies, business models, advertising, and marketing;
?	Applied ambient media technologies in city environments (e.g. P2P, 3D, augmented reality, QoE, protocols, networks, security, and privacy);
?	Engagement and persuasion in smart environments;
?	QoE and for ambient urban city applications.

Subject: [Air-L] SAMLA Visual Rhetoric Regular Session CFP
Message-ID: <CAOeZqnbaMQofrdGQKZwrXKz--S5vKqLv9EMZdsf6QW+th_pVnQ@mail.gmail.com>

The South Atlantic Modern Language Association?s (SAMLA) focus this year is
Cultures, Contexts, Images, and Texts: Making Meaning in Print, Digital,
and Networked Worlds, and this Call for Papers invites submissions that
explore and examine the ways that images are used to make meaning in print
and online.

In keeping with the rhetorical focus of this session, we are interested in
papers that inquire how visual artifacts make meaning by persuading using
one or more of Aristotle?s appeals: ethos, logos, and/or pathos.

Papers may examine how visuals persuade in print, digital, and networked
worlds through moving images such as videos and movies, artwork, static
online or printed images, and video games.

The Visual Rhetoric session is a regular session of SAMLA, and we invite
submissions that engage with the theme of this year's conference as well as
engaging with other issues and topics that represent the field of visual
rhetoric.

Please send abstracts of 500 words or less to the session?s chair, Shawn
Apostel, sapostel at bellarmine.edu, no later than May 24, 2013, and include
with your abstract any audio / visual needs you have. All presenters must
be members of SAMLA at the time of presentation. Please be sure to include
your contact information and any other special needs you may have.

SAMLA will be held in Atlanta, GA on November 8-10, 2013. For more
information about the conference, visit http://samla.memberclicks.net/.

Best regards,

Shawn

Subject: [Air-L] literature on friendship
Message-ID: <CAFxgb8oYAb1YrAOjk4gBVQchv0m7HW6Xtfh1DVPNuWW2cwvL4w@mail.gmail.com>

A colleague of mine in computer science wants to develop a deeper
understanding of what friendship means in online environments and how it
compares with understandings of friendship in offline environments.  She is
specifically interested in the following two questions and is looking for
literature suggestions:

1)  Is there research that characterizes friendship in either qualitative
or quantitative ways?
2) Is there research that distinguishes the characteristics of online
friendships based on the nature of the origin (i.e. was the friendship
established prior to online interaction vs during the online interaction)?

All literature suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks!

Message-ID: <C3F417E2-D015-45F4-9EB9-4AA50629315F@qut.edu.au>

PROTOTYPE TURN
ACM Creative & Cognition 2013 Workshop
Sydney, Australia
June 17, 2013
----
From citizen science to critical design and the ?maker? movement we are witnessing a ?prototype turn? that emphasizes collaborative and open design practices that challenge and redefine the existing social, political, and technical limits (of software and hardware). In recent years, design trends in technological platforms have widely applied concepts such as quantified self, gamification, DIY/maker culture, highlighting and in many cases, advocating open access and (re-)use of data. However, this emphasis towards ?openness? is not without problems and drawbacks. 

This workshop will bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in emergent and critical perspectives related to open data across diverse fields from science to arts. The workshop will serve as an active forum to discuss a diverse set of perspectives in order to examine and interrogate the notion of ?openness? by looking at specific cases and related social, cultural, political, and technological phenomena surrounding the open access to and (re-)use of data. 

The specific goals of this workshop are to: 

- Document the emerging and fast evolving space of communities focused around open approaches towards data

- Reflect upon specific instances of open data practices and uses that would benefit from critical thinking around the ?open ethics?

- Produce a toolkit that helps develop practical and critical strengths for new open data projects.


WORKSHOP STRUCTURE
Participants will be asked to present their papers in this half-day workshop and we will also archive everyone?s papers on the workshop?s website. In the second half of the workshop, we will prepare datasets from existing projects and ask the diverse groups to work together to develop potential kits and tools for stakeholders and communities to deliberate upon the use of open data. These kits and tools will provide the users with pragmatic, as well as critical/theoretical, considerations when working with open data. Participants will present their prototypes and ideas after which we will discuss the results and plan future events and dissemination of output from the workshop.


SUBMISSION FORMAT
Please submit a 2 ? 3 page position statement, which includes the following: 

- Description of your current project or applications that are related to the open approach towards the use and reuse of data. 

- Questions about how theoretical and critical perspectives would inform your own project. 

- Ideas or speculations about the trajectory of open ethics in your field of expertise. 

- A short biography of the author wishing to attend the workshop (100-150 words). 

Applications should be single-authored. We highly encourage teamwork on the day, but would like social interaction, idea iteration, and group formation at the event. We ask participants to submit their applications to prototypeturn at gmail.com by May 16th, 2013

Hi everyone, 
I was wondering if folks have advice or suggestions on literature pertaining to synchronous interviews via Facebook Chat. For my dissertation research I am looking to interview youth (ages 13-18) online and am hoping to do so through Facebook Chat. I've considered other instant message platforms but Facebook has the most ecological validity for my current research. However, I am obviously concerned with issues of confidentiality and protection of participants. 

I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice. 

All the best,

Subject: [Air-L] (advice sought) Public safety and configuration of list
Message-ID: <1366686005.41cc0.19977@out.zelea.com>

To the experts in Liberationtech, Air-L and Mailman lists,
(cc General Counsel of Stanford University)

Stanford University has configured the Liberationtech mailing list in
a manner that is potentially unsafe.  University staff are aware of
the problem and are evalutating the situation, but have yet to take
action.  I'm a subscriber to the list, and I ask your advice.


SITUATION

  The Liberationtech mailing list is run by Stanford University in
  connection with its Program on Liberation Technology.  That program
  investigates the use of IT "to defend human rights, improve
  governance, empower the poor, promote economic development, and
  pursue a variety of other social goods." [1] Experts on the list
  advise and inform on matters such as encrypting communications,
  protecting infrastructure from cyber attack, and protecting onself
  from personal danger.  Often those seeking help are in vulnerable
  situations.  They include aid workers, reporters and activists who
  live and work in environments where human rights are not well
  respected, or where the government is too weak to protect people
  from organized criminals, rival militias, and so forth.

  The list software is GNU Mailman.  The administration interface
  includes the following configuration items: [2]

    (a) Should any existing Reply-To: header found in the original
        message be stripped?  If so, this will be done regardless of
        whether an explict Reply-To: header is added by Mailman or
        not.

         X  No
         -  Yes

    (b) Where are replies to list messages directed?  Poster is
        *strongly* recommended for most mailing lists.

          X  Poster
          -  This list
          -  Explicit address (c) _________

  Shown above is the default, recommended setting of (1 No, 2 Poster).
  It leaves the sender's Reply-To headers (if any) unaltered during
  mail transfer.  Instead of this, the Liberationtech mailing list is
  configured as follows:

    (b) Where are replies to list messages directed?  Poster is
        *strongly* recommended for most mailing lists.

          -  Poster
          X  This list
          -  Explicit address (c) _________

  With this setting, whenever a subscriber Q sends a message to the
  list, the software adds a Reply-To header pointing to L, which is
  the address of the list itself.  The message is then passed on to
  the subscribers.  The meaning of the added Reply-To header is, "Q
  asks that you reply to her at L." [3]

  Note that this is false information; Q does not ask that.


EXAMPLE OF DANGER

  Matt Mackall has suggested that, "here of all places", people might
  get hurt as a consequence of this configuration [4].  I agree.
  Here's a brief example of how people might get hurt:

    1. Subscriber P is in a vulnerable situation.  P is distacted by
       the situation and is not getting a lot of sleep.

    2. P asks the mailing list for advice on the situation, because
       that's the purpose of the list.

    3. Subscriber Q replies with helpful information.

       The mailing list adds a Reply-To header to Q's message that
       points to address L.  Again, the mis-information is, "Q asks
       that you reply to her at L". [3]

    4. P replies with private information, including (as Matt puts it)
       a "potentially life-endangering datum".  Tired and distracted,
       P replies by hitting the standard Reply button.  In the mail
       client, this means "reply to Q".

       The reply goes instead to L, which is the public mailing list.

       Oh my god!  What have I done!

    5. People get hurt.

  Isn't this a danger?


POSSIBLE EXPLOIT THAT INCREASES THE DANGER

  Suppose that P is actually a police operative in an authoritarian
  state, or a criminal operative in a failed state.  He only pretends
  to be a vulnerable activist (say).  His real aim is to hurt the
  activists and other opponents; damage the university's reputation;
  close down the mailing list; make democracy look foolish [5]; and
  finally make some money in the bargain [6].  The likelihood of his
  success is roughly proportional to the amount of harm suffered by
  the activists and other innocent people.

  If such an exploit were even *perceived* to be feasible, then the
  mis-configuration of the mailing list would not only be exposing the
  public to a haphazard danger, but also providing the means and
  incentive to orchestrate and amplify that danger.

  Might not this exploit be perceived as feasible?


INTERIM RECOMMENDATION

  While Stanford University is evaluating these safety concerns and
  has yet to make a decision, it should return the configuration to
  its default setting.  The default setting is known to be safe.

I'm glad to see this being addressed, particularly in light of the use of
targetted viruses sent specifically to activist mailing lists (which is, of
course, a slightly different issue). In the past this mostly seems to be
around Chinese/Tibetan issues, but it's probably useful to start thinking
about mailing list security more broadly.

Message-ID: <A81D94D8FC4AFD4FB60903BE11625B4C26E6E8E5@CISAMRMBS01.mds.ad.dur.ac.uk>

You are invited to take part in an online study investigating social media and online risk. Social Media refers to Social Networking websites and digital applications that enable people to interact and share information; this includes sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate how and why people may be using social media, including their attitudes and perceptions of it and also to investigate any positive and/or negative consequences associated with its use.

If you have used any form of Social Media in the last 3 months, you are eligible to participate. Participation is anonymous and simply involves completing an online questionnaire which will take approximately 25 minutes.  The survey includes questions about your use of Social Media, your perceptions of Social Media and any positive and/or negative experiences you have had as a result of using Social Media. You will also be asked for some basic demographic information. No identifiable information will be requested.
Everyone who completes the survey has the chance to win a ?50 Amazon voucher.
I am more than happy to repay the favour by participating in your study. Also, if you would like to do a link swop and share my survey via your social media sites, I am happy to do the same in return :)
Please visit this website to take part: https://durhambs.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5gt9rX6RB8Q9pNr
If you have any questions please email the principle researcher, Dawn Branley at dawn.branley at durham.ac.uk<mailto:dawn.branley at durham.ac.uk>, or tweet @TheCyberPsyche

More tweets, More votes: Social media as a quantitative indicator of
political behavior
New work by Joseph DiGrazia, Karissa McKelvey, Johan Bollen and Fabio Rojas.

We hope this paper can convince your reviewers that social media
aren't just spam-infested pools of emoticons. We show that random
samples are significant predictors of vote margin in house elections.

No sentiment needed -- only raw counts of the names of the candidates.
We do it by measuring simply the number of times a candidate was
mentioned by full name (first last). Handles and hashtags don't work
as well. There will be another paper later about that.

The working paper (short!) is here:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2235423

We'd appreciate your comments

You just need to do a Vulcan mind-meld with Lois Scheidt, and then
everything will be all right.  ;-)

[Lois is the one AoIR-ista I know who has both the adolescent experience
and the IRB experience around all these issues - you *need* to talk to her,
so that you have someone who's already walked through fire with an IRB
(both as applicant and as reviewer) and sorted out what's ethical and
practically possible around these issues.  Particularly because there are
juveniles involved.]

I second this advice. Lois talked me through IRB ethical/methodological issues at great length and with inspiring clarity and coherence.

Hi Lois :)

Janet Salmons' work about conducting online interviews might be helpful to
you. In addition, you should consult with your IRB ahead of time, let them
know what you're up to, and ask for their guidance. IRBs vary considerably,
so be sure you consult the board at your institution. Best of luck, Peter

Maybe there's a misunderstanding here.  The list subscribers are not
responsible for the safe administration of the list.  The university
alone is responsible.  It could never pass that responsibility on to
the subscribers, even if it wanted to.

> ... to appeal to higher authorities that have much better things on
> which to spend their time ...

Well, it was university staff who appealed to counsel some weeks ago,
following an off-list discussion.  As I mention, the university is
evaluating the matter and has yet to make a decision.  My purpose in
posting is to ask advice from experts, and to remind the counsel's
office (a busy place, as you say) of the need for a decision.

Again, pending that decision, I recommend that the configuration be
returned to its default setting.  The default is known to be safe.

Mike

It's unethical and just makes other list members very, very cranky.  As
does any thread that suggests changing the reply-to bit on any list.

That aside - this ought to be a dead issue.  Don't use mailing lists with
archives for private or might-need-to-be-private correspondence that might
endanger lives or well-being of others.  The information *will* leak.  In
fact - I would suggest not using mail for this sort of issue at all,
regardless of whether it's a list or has archives or not.  The trail of
cleartext bits and routing information is too easily exploited.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for papers/research on the emerging culture and technological infrastructure of sharing --- e.g., car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing, time banks, etc. Beyond journalistic accounts, I am not having much luck, so if anyone is aware of papers on the topic, I'd much grateful.

Many thanks in advance,
Jean-Fran?ois Blanchette

MC1: Half-Day Master Class: Co-producing assisted living technologies and 
services
Rob Procter, Joe Wherton, Trish Greenhalgh, Paul Sugarhood, Mark Rouncefield, 
Guy Dewsbury

In this master class, we develop and expand on themes concerning the challenges 
of understanding the assisted living needs of older people in domestic 
settings, and methods for involving them and their carers in the co-production 
of assisted living technologies and services. It has the overall objective of 
developing an understanding and appreciation of the benefits and the various 
practical issues involved in facilitating a ?bricolage? approach to the 
dependable co-production of assisted living technologies.

WS1: Participatory Publics: Civic technology and local communities
Olav W. Bertelsen, Susanne B?dker, Martin Brynskov, Christopher A. Le Dantec, 
Anne Marie Kanstrup, Volkmar Pipek

New forms of community technologies are focused on supporting local, 
geographically connected communities directly through neighborhoods and civic 
activity. The workshop will address the following questions: What constitutes 
participation in community settings and how is it supported/augmented through 
IT? How do we understand the relationships between participation, community and 
technology in these (emerging) settings? It will be based on examples of 
technology supported participatory publics brought to the workshop by 
participants.

Website: http://pit.au.dk/ws1_ecscw2013


WS2: CSCW at the Boundary of Work and Life
Luigina Ciolfi, Gabriela Avram, Erik Gr?nvall, Chiara Rossitto, Louise Barkhuus

This workshop will explore how CSCW themes, concepts and sensibilities can be 
extended and applied to practices blurring the boundary between work and life. 
Technology has moved from workplaces to become part of nearly every aspect of 
everyday life. Similarly, CSCW research spans not only work settings and 
practices, but also other life domains, from family life, to gaming, tourism 
and other leisure activities. However, the neat distinction between which 
activities are work-related and which are not is becoming less and less 
meaningful as often the spheres of work and life blur into each other. 
Similarly, the use of technology is not limited to specific work vs. non-work 
situations. This workshop will discuss how to look at this blurring of 
practices, spheres of life and expectations: is it a problematic issue that 
should be addressed, or a new way of working and living that people are 
increasingly embracing? How do people coordinate and interact when work tasks, 
personal tasks and leisure tasks blur into each other, and how to 
support/facilitate/mediate this through design?

WS3: MoRoCo ? Models and their Role in Collaboration
Alexander Nolte, Michael Prilla, Peter Rittgen, Stefan Oppl

Using visual representations (models) of work or business processes can be 
considered a common practice in modern organizations. They are used to document 
current practices, to inform people about processes and to plan change or 
software development. As they include and affect multiple stakeholders, it has 
been found reasonable to develop and use them collaboratively to negotiate or 
coordinate work practice. In practice, however, models are seldom used or 
developed collaboratively, resulting in low impact of models and stakeholders 
in them on organizational development and change. Given the potential of 
collaborative work on models, we need a better understanding on how they can be 
developed and used collaboratively in order to leverage their role as artifacts 
of collaborative work in practice. The MoRoCo 2013 workshop focuses thus on 
collaborative work with and development of models. It aims at build a big 
picture of research on the role that models play in collaborative work in order 
to set up a common research agenda among participating researchers and 
practitioners alike.
The workshop is a follow up to the workshop on "Collaborative usage and 
development of models and visualization" held at ECSCW 2011 (proceedings are 
available online at 
http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-777/), which 
resulted in a special issue of the International Journal for eCollaboration 
(2013, in press). For this workshop the organizers are planning a similar 
course of events.

WS4: Francophone Ergonomics and CSCW ? a comparative analysis
Fran?oise Darses, Pascal Salembier, Kjeld Schmidt, Ina Wagner

The Francophone tradition of work analysis, with its rich repertoire of field 
studies, various forms of analysis, and conceptual frameworks, provides a very 
interesting perspective on forms of work activity. Although this perspective 
has been present for many years in ECSCW conferences and in the CSCW Journal, 
it has remained relatively isolated from the mainstream discussion within CSCW. 
The objective of the proposed workshop is to start an in-depth discussion of 
Francophone ergonomics and its conceptual and methodological contributions to 
CSCW research.

WS5: Designing Mobile Face-to-Face Group Interactions
Joel Fischer, Stuart Reeves, Steve Benford, Chris Greenhalgh

This workshop is concerned with understanding the nature of face-to-face group 
interactions in mobile, but collocated settings. It seeks to examine 
group-sensitive design examples, concepts and techniques, research methods and 
approaches to study group activities, and to learn how these social activities 
might be respected and supported by design. We aim to bring together 
researchers interested in the social organisation of face-to-face interaction, 
and designers of collaborative groupware and mobile, interactive experiences to 
explore opportunities and challenges for the design and study of experiences, 
apps and systems that support, augment or enable collocated activities.

WS6: Web2Touch (W2T?13): Coping with the evolution and security of shared Web 
information
Rodrigo Bonacin, Mariagrazia Fugini, Olga Nabuco, C?dric Pruski

Collaboration using the Web introduces special challenges when content needs to 
be consistent and reliable over time and under rapid evolution of contents 
resulting from collaboration activities. The development of collaborative 
Web-based environments is an open issue particularly on the topics of 
organization and management of shared information in a reliable and secure 
manner. Semantic Web techniques have been extensively used to address problems 
of knowledge management and sharing over the Web during the highly dynamic life 
of cooperative applications. The focus till now has been mainly on static 
knowledge organization; however the next generation of semantic techniques will 
have to face evolving knowledge organization and will need to cope with 
security, trust, reliability of what is exchanged in the Web. The goal of the 
W2T workshop is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners within the 
field of secure and knowledge-intensive Web collaboration using semantic 
techniques to share experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities to cope 
with frequent evolution of knowledge during cooperative processes based on the 
Web as a collaborative platform. W2T focuses also on security of highly 
evolutive knowledge during collaborative processes. W2T brings together 
applications, conceptual models and methods to provide a multidisciplinary view 
of the application of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and of security 
techniques in the CSCW field.

WS7: EC-TEL meets ECSCW - Workshop on Collaborative Technologies for Working 
and Learning
Monica Divitini, Tobias Ley, Stefanie Lindstaedt, Viktoria Pammer, Michael 
Prilla

This workshop explores the potential of collaborative technologies that are 
embedded in workplaces and practices, and which contribute to and help to scale 
learning on the individual, group or organisational levels. This includes 
particularly learning in informal, dynamic and naturalistic settings where 
learning often is a by-product of work. With this workshop, we intend to bring 
together the European communities of technology-enhanced learning, which meets 
at EC-TEL 2013 ? The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, and 
of computer-supported cooperative work, which meets at ECSCW 2013 ? The 
European Conference on Computer-supported Cooperative Work.

WS8: Designing with Users for Domestic Environments: Methods - Challenges - 
Lessons Learned
Corinna Ogonowski, Benedikt Ley, David Randall, Mu Mu, Nicholas Race, Mark 
Rouncefield

When developing new ICT systems and applications for domestic environments rich 
qualitative approaches improve the understanding of the users integral usage of 
technology in their daily routines and provide methods for long-term user 
involvement to inform the design process. However, this kind of research has to 
deal with methodological, technical and organisational challenges for the study 
design and its underlying cooperation processes. The workshop wishes to 
identify practical challenges of long-term user involvement, discuss best 
practice and develop a roadmap for sustainable relationships for design with 
users.

WS9: Backchannels and live participation tools: Current state and next steps 
forward
Matti Nelimarkka, Anders M?rch, Kai Kuikkaniemi, Marcus Specht, Teemu Leinonen,

Participation tools, such as audience response systems, Twitter-walls or 
custom- tailored software systems, are used to enhance lectures, meetings and 
conferences. The principal idea behind these tools is to give voice and engage 
the audience e.g. in information sharing, summarization, and multiple points of 
views. Previous studies in this domain include case descriptions and studies, 
where the use of participation tools have been described and analyzed, using 
various methods and theoretical positions. The aim of this workshop is to 
gather this diverse research domain, from scholars specialized in learning 
sciences to human-computer interaction researchers, for one day to examine this 
multidisciplinary phenomenon.

Subject: [Air-L] AoIR Executive Committee Elections
Message-ID: <72A7C5438AAF2B4382455117C749427D2A477043@CITESMBX1.ad.uillinois.edu>

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that AoIR has now commenced the process of electing a new Executive Committee to take office in October of this year and serve until October 2015. We are seeking nominations for the new executive. I also note that voting for your executive committee is one of the privileges of membership in AoIR. This is one of the ways you can shape the organization. So if you have let your membership lapse or have not yet signed up, now would be a great time to join AoIR!

Here is an overview of the election timeline, procedures and positions for nomination, as determined by the Association's by-laws. This year we will be handling voting through an election management site, and voting instructions will be provided later.

Below in this email, you will find: A. Time frame of the election. B. Description of the AoIR governance system and of the elected positions. C. Nominations and Elections Processes. And D. Questions for Candidates.

A. Time Frame of the Election:

1. Call for Nominations: opens April 25, 2013.

2. Nominations close for all positions (4 officer positions and 3 open seats) May 8, 2013.

3. Candidate information will be made available to AoIR members on aoir.org and will be sent to air-l.

4. Voting begins May 22, 2013 at the balloting site. (Details for accessing this site will be sent in a later email.)

5. Voting ends May 31, 2013.

The new committee is formally announced and assumes its duties at the end of the Annual General Meeting during the AoIR conference, 23-26 October 2013.

B. AoIR Governance and Description of Elected Positions:

The organizational structure of AoIR is simple. There are 5 officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Graduate Student representative). The 9-member Executive Committee consists of these officers, plus the Past President and 3 open seat representatives. Elected officials hold their positions for two years. After two years, the Vice President becomes President. In this election, nominations are invited for Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Graduate Student representative, and 3 open seats. You may nominate yourself or someone else you think would do a good job. Details on the nomination procedure follow below.

Here are brief descriptions of positions:

President: Acts as "CEO" and supervises the organization. The President?s duties include serving as part of the Conference Committee. This position is not directly elected, as the Vice President becomes President after two years.

Vice President: "Back up" for President, performing various duties as they arise; becomes President after 2 years. The Vice President also serves on the Conference Committee.

Secretary: Handles records and membership matters.

Treasurer: Liaises with Secretary to maintain membership records; takes care of financial and related administrative duties (e.g., annual report to membership and U.S. tax authorities), including close attention to the annual Internet Research (IR) conference budget. The Treasurer serves on the Conference Committee.

Graduate Student Representative: Responsible for running graduate student activities. The Graduate Student Representative must be actively enrolled in a degree program at the time of nomination and election. All members can vote for the grad student representative.

Open Committee Seats: Three open Seats on the Executive Committee represent membership of AoIR, and contribute to decision-making.

Immediate Past President: Serves on the Executive Committee.

More information can be found in the AoIR Bylaws:

http://aoir.org/about/bylaws-statements-and-policies/bylaws/

Candidates should familiarize themselves with the duties laid out in the Bylaws. I also encourage persons interested in running for a specific position to contact the current office-holder(s) with any specific questions, etc.


C. Nominations and Elections Processes.

Only a member of AoIR can run for a position, nominated by anyone. If nominated for more than one position a nominee must choose to run for one (and only one) position in this election. You may nominate yourself or another person (or people).

Self Nominations: Email AoIR Secretary Catherine Middleton <catherine.middleton at ryerson.ca> and indicate the position for which you are nominating yourself. Please provide, in your nomination email a short candidate statement addressing the questions below.

Nominating Others: Email AoIR Secretary Catherine Middleton <catherine.middleton at ryerson.ca> with the name of the person you want to nominate, the position for which you are nominating this person, contact information for that person, and an indication of whether you know if this person would accept this nomination. (If you don't know, we'll contact them and ask).

All candidates for election will be required to provide answers to the questions listed at the end of this email, have the answers posted to the AoIR election forum website, and participate in an online candidate forum.

In addition the Graduate Student candidates must confirm in their response that they comply with the by-laws: The Graduate Student Representative must be actively enrolled in a degree program at the time of nomination and election.

The voting system used by AoIR is one vote per member for each of the eight positions for election listed above. Votes will be tallied using a balloting software site. In the case of the four directly elected officers, the candidate with the highest number of votes shall be declared the winner; in the case of the open seats, the three candidates with the highest, second-highest and third highest votes shall be declared the winners of the open seats.

In the case of tied results for the officer positions, the winner shall be determined by the ballot counters, by drawing of lots, using a method that ensures each of the tying candidates has an equal chance of success and witnessed by at least 1 person independent of the association. In the case of tied results for the open seat positions, the drawing of lots shall be used only when there are more tied candidates than seats available.

D. Questions for Candidates:

1. What are your qualifications for this position (including prior experience and participation in AoIR)?

2. Please describe two or three short-term goals you would like to achieve through membership on the executive (including a rationale for each and how you would contribute to their achievement).

3. What is your long-term vision for AoIR?

4. What else should voters consider when deciding whether or not to vote for you?

In answering the questions, please be concise and give information specific to the position for which you are nominating and which will permit voters to assess your case for election to that position.


In closing - please consider contributing your time and energy to making AoIR even better in the upcoming years! Many thanks in advance to all who will consider running and serving AoIR in this way.


Lori Kendall
Vice President, AoIR

Dear Madame Incoming and Esteemed:

In addition to our other important positions, I would like to propose AoIR
hold elections for Internet Cat Mascot. In accordance with our by-laws,
this would be an annual position, and the cats would answer the questions
below like anyone else would.

Naturally, since cats cannot yet write, their statements would be drafted
by those nominating. Whether or not anyone okays this, I will write a
statement for Maru. Andrew Herman does not yet know it, but he will
represent Lil Bub.

Friends in the gallery: Can we agree that this is a moment long overdue in
the history of an organization that does NOTHING but STUDY THE INTERNET?

Please, let's get some Internet cats up on this ballot.

Respectfully,
Terri

P.S. Anticipating questions about dogs: No.

Couldn't agree more... One of my cats can compose & send email, create (and delete!) Word files, and toggle the wifi on my laser printer to OFF (even with the manual I couldn't figure out how to undo that one). The other three cats seem uninterested in network activity. Surely that's worth studying. Cheese would be honored to have his issues represented by those esteemed colleagues mentioned below.

Symposium on Urban Informatics: Exploring Smarter Cities

Philadelphia PA | June 11, 2013
ExCITe Center | 3401 Market Street

http://ischool.drexel.edu/urbaninformatics

Registration is open and the program has been posted.

The symposium on Urban Informatics will bring together designers, city planners 
and managers, technologists, scholars and entrepreneurs in Philadelphia, at the 
heart of the U.S. northeast urban corridor, to explore the frontiers of the 
urban environment. The event will be hosted at the Expressive and Creative 
Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) research center on the Drexel University 
campus.

The opening plenary will be delivered by Dr. Keith Hampton and several panel 
discussions are planned that will bring together diverse perspectives on urban 
technologies. Participants will be encouraged to take time to form ad-hoc 
discussion groups throughout the day.

PLENARY BIO | After receiving his doctorate from University of Toronto in 
Sociology, Keith Hampton joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
faculty as the first professor of "technology and the city" in the Department 
of Urban Studies and Planning and later joined the Annenberg School for 
Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. He served as chair of the 
American Sociological Association's section on Communication and Information 
Technologies from 2007-2009, and past-chair from 2009-2010. Hampton is 
currently an associate professor of communication at Rutgers University's 
School of Communication.

Registration will close on May 15th.

Please contact Kris Unsworth at ku26 at drexel.edu with questions.


Hope to see you there!

Safety was hardly discussed in public; mostly only off list.  Here's a
short history of the public exchange between the subscribers and the
university, thus far:

  Subs.  When replying to messages sent via the list, I sometimes
         forget to hit "Reply to List".  Instead I hit "Reply to
         Sender".  When I realize my mistake, I must re-send my reply
         to the list.  What a nuisance!  How can we remedy this?

   Uni.  It's possible to alter the sender's Reply-To headers, making
         it *appear* as though the sender had requested replies to be
         sent to the list.  Then it no longer matters which button you
         press; your reply is directed to the list regardless.

  Subs.  Yes, let's do that!

   Uni.  But in our particular list, this may present a safety hazard
         to the public.  Also it requires inserting false information
         into the mail that technically verges on fraud.

  Subs.  (silence)

   Uni.  Did you hear what I said?

  Subs.  How dare you question our democratically reached decision!
         Did *you* not hear what *we* said?

This is perhaps a little unfair.  If a proper discussion had been held
beforehand, then nobody could have *reasonably* agreed to alter the
Reply-To headers without *first* refuting the public safety concerns.
But this was not done; instead there was a vote.  One subscriber even
called for the vote as a means to end the discussion.

And now, when the university is required to decide the matter, *again*
public discussion is to be curtailed?  That is fine, but remember that
reasonable arguments of public safety and wilful mis-information are
still standing.  They have hardly been addressed yet, let alone
refuted.

(Again, pending that decision, I recommend that the configuration be
returned to its default setting.  The default is strongly recommended
by the providers and its safety is unquestioned.)

actually, usually, email users are responsible for their use of email, on a
list or off, so they are responsible for knowing the settings and adapting
their behaviors to them.  the locus of action of the list is the user, the
administrator just sets the terms.

Charles,

With all due respect, dogs lost their chance at Internet supremacy when
they hitched their leashes to FidoNet.

Yosem,

May I briefly speak in reply?  I will not be joining the admin list,
as it's only by accident that I became involved in this.  Anyway, I'm
sorry to have given you the wrong impression, but you make some errors
in describing my actions and motivations, and I wish to correct them.

> Michael asked that the Program on Liberation Technology at Stanford
> University overrule the list vote over safety issues because he said
> the position created a potential legal liability for the university.

I did not ask the university to overrule the vote, but only to act in
the interests of public safety.  If public safety is best served by
upholding the vote, then that is O.K. by me.  Nor was I concerned with
the university's legal position.  It was the university's own staff
who invited me to off-list discussions, and the university's own staff
who expressed a concern about legal implications, and then referred
the matter to counsel.

The only issue I consider worth discussing in this connection is the
issue of public safety, especially the safety of innocent people who
are not party to these discussions, not connected with the university,
and not connected with the mailing list.  The argument (which I
seconded, but did not originate) is that the configuration of the list
places these people in some danger.  I felt that *their* concerns
ought to have a voice before a decision was made.  So this is what I
attempted to do; though maybe I didn't do a good job of it.

> Michael, however, insists that there are safety issues.  ...

Well, I have never *insisted* on that.  My crime was to ask whether or
not the safety concerns that were raised are valid, and I directed
this question to experts in particular.  But apparently the university
has already made a decision on the matter, so there's nothing further
anyone can contribute.  We can only hope that it's the right decision,
and that we acted rightly in it ourselves.

For those who understand German and are working with 'Digital Methods':

We'll have the (first?) German language Digital Methods conference in Vienna, 7-9 Nov 2013, organized by the CMC-section of DGPUK (German Society for Communication Research). It is titled "Innovative Methods for the study of Public Communication", and the Deadline for the CfP is 10 June.

The Call is in German only, but English submission and presentations are highly welcome and appreciated. However, most of the presentations will be in German (Thus, you might be bored at the conference if you don't understand German ;)

Dear Madame Incoming and Esteemed:

In addition to our other important positions, I would like to propose AoIR
hold elections for Internet Cat Mascot. In accordance with our by-laws,
this would be an annual position, and the cats would answer the questions
below like anyone else would.

Naturally, since cats cannot yet write, their statements would be drafted
by those nominating. Whether or not anyone okays this, I will write a
statement for Maru. Andrew Herman does not yet know it, but he will
represent Lil Bub.

Friends in the gallery: Can we agree that this is a moment long overdue in
the history of an organization that does NOTHING but STUDY THE INTERNET?

Please, let's get some Internet cats up on this ballot.

Respectfully,
Terri

May I respectfully add that this task is of paramount importance and cannot
be taken lightly. Especially because there are rumours that several
imposter cats, photoshop cats and shanzhai cats are already being produced
as possible 'fake' candidates for the position. It is necessary, perhaps,
to set up a steering committee to evaluate the authenticity of the nominees
and conduct a rigorous background check to make sure that the Hello Kitty
clones do not flood up the ballot.
In feline solidarity

I second this move and feel we should insist on all candidates being 
nail-printed for identity verification.
See the following reports about our modest attempt in capturing and 
analysing paradata of cats answering Web surveys to make sure they 
are not just nervously hitting keys with their tail.

while i love cats... i find the internet is better represented by hedghogs
and red pandas.  so i can't strongly support the direction this is going
specifically, but i do support the effort to make something like this
happen....

Hello, Terri,
May I add a subcategory, of "AoIR" cat emeritus?  My cats George and Alice are no longer
with us, but they pre-dated the start of AoIR and followed its comings and goings along
with mine for most of its history.  I could include their qualifications in later phases of 
nomination procedures.  

Thank you for pointing out the gap in our electoral system.

cheers,
andee

Youth Activism Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Youth Activism Project<http://ypp.dmlcentral.net/content/youth-activism-project-yap>, housed in the School of Sociology at the University of Arizona<http://sociology.arizona.edu/>, invites applications for a one-year, renewable postdoctoral fellowship on youth and participatory politics to begin in Fall 2013. The Youth Activism Project, directed by Dr. Jennifer Earl<http://jearl.faculty.arizona.edu/>, is part of the MacArthur Network on Youth and Participatory Politics<http://ypp.dmlcentral.net/>. It is focused on youth engagement in protest, particularly online protest and flash activism.

The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for working with the PI to design and implement research studies related to overall project themes, including quantitative content coding of protest websites and analysis of this coding as well as interviews and focus groups with youth about online protest. Strong candidates will have research experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods, notable experience working in Stata or R, and be productive working in teams and independently. All candidates must have a Ph.D. in hand by the commencement of the fellowship and would preferably have received their Ph.D. within the past three years.

The School of Sociology at the University of Arizona is one of the best sociology programs in the country, consistently ranked among the top 20 Sociology programs in the United States for the past thirty years. It boasts a lively intellectual community and has played a pivotal role in the careers of many leading sociologists. Situated in the beautiful southwest in Tucson, the University of Arizona offers excellent benefits and Tucson offers a wonderful living experience. Competitive salary will be based on experience.

To apply, visit www.uacareertrack.com and apply for Job Number 52359. In addition to online forms, candidates must upload a letter of interest, c.v., (including the names of three references) and a research statement (see job ad for details).

The University of Arizona is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. Only complete applications will be considered.

Perhaps we could call the seat the "AIR Menagerie Representative-at-Large"[1] with a rotating two-year term, which cannot be filled by the same type of life form for two consecutive terms? That might be more inclusive while still allowing cats full opportunity?

[1] Formal title would be "Dean of the AOIR Animal Corps" for when they appear at the State of the Union speech.

Might I suggest a 'Birds of a Feather' session where folks can note their
favourite internet cat memes? And, perhaps discuss briefly what makes it
appealing to the internet audience (the lolz), and a view sentences from an
academic standpoint (the analysis)- whatever your discipline. Perhaps
something related to audience studies, or anthropomorphizing animals, or
cultural meaning, or social significance, or a network look at going
viral...the list is endless. Perhaps tie this into your nominations for a
mascot? 
Just a thought...

Perhaps we could call the seat the "AIR Menagerie
Representative-at-Large"[1] with a rotating two-year term, which cannot be
filled by the same type of life form for two consecutive terms? That might
be more inclusive while still allowing cats full opportunity?

[1] Formal title would be "Dean of the AOIR Animal Corps" for when they
appear at the State of the Union speech.

@wm:  Love the FidoNet comment.  Ahhh the good ol' days.  :)

Hello everyone,

I am looking for papers/research on the emerging culture and technological infrastructure of sharing --- e.g., car sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing, time banks, etc. Beyond journalistic accounts, I am not having much luck, so if anyone is aware of papers on the topic, I'd much grateful.

Many thanks in advance,
Jean-Fran?ois Blanchette

Dear list members,

Let me start by introducing myself - I am a linguistic anthropologist interested in how people use technology to mediate communication, collaboration, and community-building.  For more you can visit my website, below.

Here is my question:  I teach an upper-level undergraduate course on the "Anthropology of Virtual Communication" where students work on a semester-long research project, investigating the communicative practices of an online community.  Some of their research projects turn out really well.  Do you have suggestions for where they could publish their findings?  I would not say that their research is at the level of journals that faculty publish in, but I was wondering if there might journals for student publications.

Peace,
Christina

Emerging Learning Design is pleased to announce the new Journal of Emerging
Learning Design (ELDJ).


This journal is an outgrowth of the annual Emerging Learning Design
Conference, which makes its home at Montclair State University (MSU). The
journal will present best practices in technology design and implementation
by offering articles that propose or review how technology can further
enhance the pedagogy of engaging and dynamic approaches to learning.

Visti http://eldj.montclair.edu to find the inaugural issue of this journal
with the ensuing issue being made up of proceedings from the ELD Conference
this year on June 7, 2013.

The journal?s editor-in-chief is Cigdem Penbeci Talgar, Acting Director of
the Research Academy for University Learning and the managing editor is AJ
Kelton, Director of Emerging & Instructional Technology for the College of
Humanities and Social Sciences, both at MSU.

Registration for the Emerging Learning Design 2013 Conference is currently
open and can be found at http://eld.montclair.edu/registration/  So feel
free to share this email with your friends and colleagues.

The conference schedule can be found at http://eld.montclair.edu/schedule/

We are very much looking forward to the keynote presentation by our special
guest, Dr. Christopher Hoadley from New York University

The Death Of Content: Why Universities and Schools are (and aren?t) being
replaced by the Internet

In this talk, I argue that the current coin of the realm in
academia?content?is dying and that universities need to radically rethink
their role in the world. MOOCs, homeschooling, and the shadow education
system all are evidence that the 20th century role of schools is
decreasingly relevant. But does this mean that schools will become
obsolete? I argue that schools face a choice: use technology to enhance
their current functions but hasten their demise, or use technology to
transform themselves and capitalize on 17th century strengths to be a
cornerstone of the 21st century knowledge economy. I offer some ideas on
how to reconceptualize the notion of ?schools? based on the latest research
in learning and on ancient ideas about how to teach.

Dr. Chris Hoadley is associate professor in the Educational Communication
and Technology Program and the Program in Digital Media Design for
Learning. He has over 35 years of experience in designing, building, and
studying ways for computers to enhance collaboration and learning.
Currently his research focuses on collaborative technologies and computer
support for cooperative learning (CSCL). Hoadley is the director of
dolcelab, the Laboratory for Design Of Learning, Collaboration &
Experience. He is an affiliate scholar for the National Academy of
Engineering?s Center for the Advancement of Scholarship in Engineering
Education (CASEE) and was awarded a Fulbright for 2008-2009 in the South
Asia Regional program to study educational technologies for sustainability
and empowerment in rural Himalayan villages. Other interests include
research on and through design, systems for supporting social capital and
distributed intelligence, the role of informatics and digital libraries in
education, and science and engineering education. Hoadley previously
chaired the American Educational Research Association?s Special Interest
Group for Education in Science and Technology (now SIG: Learning Sciences),
and served as the first president of the International Society for the
Learning Sciences. Hoadley earned his baccalaureate in cognitive science
from MIT, and a masters in computer science and doctorate in education from
UC Berkeley. He previously taught at Stanford University, Mills College,
and Penn State University in education, computer science, and information
sciences.

Hi,

If you are looking for undergraduate publishing opportunities, I would recommend Reinvention: a Journal of Undergraduate Research, which is based here at the University of Warwick in partnership with Monash University. It's inter-disciplinary and fully peer-reviewed, with student subject editors and an international editorial board from a range of subjects. Their website is

Hi folks,
I'm happy to announce Rousiley Maia's new book, now available at hampton press -  http://www.hamptonpress.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc - and amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Deliberation-Political-International-Association-Communication/dp/1612890253
Though not directly related to internet studies, this is an interesting book for researchers interested in understanding the role of mass media in a variety of deliberative processes. 

See details attached. 
Best,

Deliberation, the Media and Political Talk Rousiley C.M. Maia

In recent years democratic theory has taken a deliberative turn and one central question that needs to be answered is how to connect face-to-face conversations and deliberations in particular forums to broader discussions in the larger society. Working within the cutting edges of deliberative theories, this book surveys the role of the mass media in the deliberative system and investigates, through a set of empirical cases, a range of key problems in the media arena: the interplay between arguing and strategic maneuvering; public demands for accountability; emotional appeal for deliberation; tensions between agonistic and diplomatic delib- eration; and the public construction of general claims. Adopting an integrative per- spective, this book also looks at how affected people use published opinions to make sense of politics and produce bottom-up reasons, in addition to media-driven or top-down discourses in the public sphere. The general aim of the book is to show that the mass media have an important place in deliberative democracy and to enrich political and media theories with new findings. 

INTRODUCTION. The Plan of this Book.

What Sort of Equality Is Needed for Deliberation? Is Deliberation Oriented Toward Simple Consensus, Defined as Unanimous Agreement?

2. FROM PUBLIC SPHERE TO DELIBERATIVE SYSTEM: LOCATING THE PLACE OF THE MEDIA. 
From Public Sphere to Deliberative System. Micro- or Macro-Deliberation? The Deliberative System.

3. THE NEWS MEDIA AS A FORUM FOR CIVIC DEBATE. 
The Media System. Different Kinds and Levels of Constraints Applied to the News Media as a Civic Forum. An Integrated Approach to the Media System.

4. MEDIATED DELIBERATION. 
What Is Mediated Deliberation? Variables to Observe and Measure in Evaluating Mediated Deliberation.


PART II: MEDIATED DELIBERATION

dear AoiR members

Please would you take a moment to read and support this petition - it is not just any general cause, but a case of a UK based PhD student who is also a colleague and a friend of mine, Sanaz Raj, who has been treated extremely unfairly by the Institute of Communication Studies at Leeds University. Her funding? was revoked and she was subjected to bullying and ongoing injustice. The link below provides a detailed account of the events. Personally, I can testify that Sanaz is a very talented and dedicated young scholar, who did not deserve the treatment she received (nor , of course, does any other student)

technologies in the areas of testing for finding errors in concurrent 
programs, on scalable concurrent data structures, challenges in MPI for 
large-scale parallel systems, and on architectural trends for 
power-efficient multicores, all given by leading experts of the 
community. We aim to attract graduate students and young scientists and, 
through tutorials and lectures, prepare them for research on identifying 
and addressing fundamental challenges that will enable all programmers 
to leverage the potential performance from the ongoing shift to 
universal parallel computing. We also aim to provide a fun and 
stimulating environment for students to meet and establish connections 
with other students, world-class researchers from academia and industry, 
local faculty, and other senior scientists.

We strongly encourage people interested in participating to register as 
soon as possible.

Deadlines:

Subject: [Air-L] IR14.0 Travel Grant (Applications Due 14 July 2013)
Message-ID: <CAKxz=uB-H=mq_8_q_2MQHH84nN1mYra9RxNYDO+KJZENqY7BHw@mail.gmail.com>

In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR annual
Internet Research (IR) conferences, the Association of Internet
Researchers makes available up to four conference fee waivers and
travel stipends per year. In particular, we hope to help foster
participation by scholars from South America, Africa, and the Asia /
Pacific region. The number of fee waivers and travel stipends will
depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to
sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive
Committee upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local
organizing committee) as well as upon the quality of the applications
for fee waivers.

Applications for fee waivers are invited from student or faculty
authors whose paper or panel proposals have already been accepted via
the AoIR IR conference reviewing process. All applications should be
directed to the President of AoIR (Alex Halavais, prez at aoir.org), and
must be received by July 15, 2013. Late applications cannot be
considered.

Applications should be no longer than 2 pages, and must include the
following information:

1) A brief description of how the author?s presentation or
contribution to the AoIR IR conference will uniquely articulate and/or
represent a distinctive perspective (e.g., of persons and/or cultures)
otherwise unlikely to be represented at the annual AoIR Internet
Research conference.

2) An explanation of the author?s distinctive circumstances that would
warrant a fee waiver, and an indication that the applicant will be
able to make effective use of the funds. These may include, but are by
no means limited to:

* exceptionally limited financial resources (e.g., as a graduate
student or scholar in a non-OECD country, as a disabled person on a
limited income, etc.);

* exceptional limits on institutional support otherwise normally
available (e.g., travel funds, grant funds, etc.);

* other exceptional circumstances that render the usual AoIR IR
conference fees an insurmountable obstacle to attending the IR
conference in order to present one?s own work.

Applicants may also include a letter of support from someone familiar
with her / his circumstances, special needs, etc. Such a letter is
optional, however, not a requirement.

Applications will be reviewed by the AoIR Executive Committee. Fee
waivers and travel stipends of up to $500 will be awarded (to be paid
out after the conference) on the basis of the Executive Committee?s
collective judgment as to which presentations will make the most
distinctive contribution to the AoIR IR conference. In order to
respect and protect the privacy of the applicants, all Executive
Committee discussions and deliberations will be held in strict
confidence.

The AoIR Executive Committee regretfully acknowledges that there may
be more fully meritorious applications than we will be able to award
and support. Nonetheless, we hope that awarded fee waivers and travel
stipends will not only assist deserving scholars and researchers, but
also thereby enrich the IR 14.0 conference in important new ways.

Any questions may be directed to Alex Halavais (prez at aoir.org).

Hi,

I'm in Athens doing some research and was interviewing some people from
RadioBubble (http://international.radiobubble.gr/), a non-profit web radio
station which is providing vital coverage of the crisis, the fascist
movement, and the antifascist movement.

They've kept some archives of a hashtag they use for gathering news,
#rbnews, but don't have the complete archives, and want them to use a basis
for writing an overview of the crisis.

Does anyone know how they could do this for free? Like most people in
Greece, radiobubble is hanging on by the skin of their teeth financially.

Thanks,
sky.

Hi Stacy,

#rbnews is very heavily used within Greece and the Greek diaspora, and even
then mostly within left-wing and perhaps centre-left circles. It plays an
important role in Greek news reporting (even outside radiobubble), but may
not be 'popular' in the broader sense.

They want the complete archives going back to the beginning of the
hashtag's use, and had heard that there were commercial services which may
be able to provide this. I thought perhaps some people here who are using
these services for research could help.

Eugenia, does the export function work just for your own account or could
you do it for a hashtag also?

Thanks,
sky.

CALL FOR PAPERS, ABSTRACTS, POSTERS, DEMOS, WORKSHOPS & TUTORIALS
=========================================================================================

We are pleased to invite you to the Academic MindTrek conference, 1st ? 4th October 2013, 
which brings together a cross-disciplinary crowd of people to investigate current and 
emerging topics of media in many facets. The conference explores academically the emerging 
and frontier-breaking applications of new media in everyday contexts of leisure, business 
and organizational life. October 2nd will be the main Academic MindTrek day with other 
sessions on the preceding and following days. Due to increasing popularity of the conference, 
we are extending the scope of Academic MindTrek 2013! 

The academic conference features six major themes:
* Social Media
* Ambient & Ubiquitous Media
* Business & Media
* Human-Computer Interaction (new track!)
* Open Source
* Digital Games
* ICT & E-Government

=========================================================================================
Why to Participate?
========================================================================================= 
The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference, where the Academic MindTrek 
conference has been a part of this unique set of events comprising competitions, world 
famous keynote speakers, plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It 
is a meeting place where researchers, experts and thinkers present results from their latest 
work regarding the development of Internet, interactive media, and the information society:
* Real chance for media enthusiasts to think outside the box
* Brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines that are involved 
  in the development of media in various fields, ranging from sociology and the economy to 
  technology
* The highest ranked papers will be published in academic journals (e.g. in 2012 we published 
  a selected set of articles in ACM Computers in Entertainment, Electronic Markets ? The 
  International Journal on Networked Business, and the International Journal of Ambient 
  Computing and Intelligence.
* Provides a chance to learn from the vast media genre at large
* Allows participants to exchange views with cross-disciplinary experts
* Aims to provide insights about the convergence of the various media and the future of media
* High-level keynote speakers. A few examples from previous years: Keith Partridge, Tomi T. Ahonen 
  (Consultant), Latif Ladid (IPV6 Forum), Beat Schwegler (Microsoft), Cinzia dal Zotto (Univ. of 
  Neuchatel), Ari Ojansivu (Google), Ramine Darabiha (Rovio), Molly R?nge (Crowdculture), Slava 
  Kozlov (Philips Design), Dave Nielsen (CloudCamp), Janne J?rvinen (F-Secure), Olavi Toivainen 
  (Nokia), Herbert Snorrason (OpenLeaks), Tuija Aalto (YLE), Juha Kaario (Varaani), among many 
  others. Also this year we are preparing a wide set of invited speakers & keynotes.

Social Media
=========================================================================================
?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both 
in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional 
communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed 
in the collaborative, interactive media space.
 
Ambient and Ubiquitous Media
=========================================================================================
?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient and 
ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology, 
art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services, 
ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, 
the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick.

Media Business, Media Production and Media Management
=========================================================================================
Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of 
digital media and focuses on leadership practices, business models and value chains. 
It discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional 
media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business 
and media management issues.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
=========================================================================================
The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities, 
consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access, 
ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, 
interaction theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes 
to several of these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with 
several applied and theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience.

Open Source
=========================================================================================
The last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open 
source software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. 
On the one hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new 
business models and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new 
kinds of technical and non-technical challenges.

Digital Games
=========================================================================================
The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current 
trends range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to 
social game dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical 
works, empirical case studies and constructive projects.

ICT & E-Government
=========================================================================================
In recent years, ICT has played a pivotal role in the development of digital economy. 
This technology facilitates the rapid accumulation and dissemination of information, 
group interaction, communication, and collaboration. ICT has become one of the core 
elements of managerial reform around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 and 
emergence of ICT infrastructure, processes and policies many governments and public 
officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, and with organizations 
and citizens. 

Demonstrations
=========================================================================================
The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the 
communities related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations 
is to provide a forum for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media 
demonstrators. The target audience includes members of the academic community, 
industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the results of their research projects 
with a practical implementation.
 
Special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and 
multidisciplinary sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. 
Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference 
tracks as part of the academic conference with our special registration rate. The 
Academic MindTrek registration includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and 
social gatherings.
 
The organizing committee invites you to submit original high quality full papers, 
long or short, addressing the special theme and the topics, for presentation at 
the conference and inclusion in the proceedings.
 
=========================================================================================

Subject: [Air-L] Pew: Digital Civic Engagement report,
	"who's missing" analysis
Message-ID: <CALAwQWp46F8toqd=iKfe=Epkk3P-xw8Y8qyBRJZiVKmh3wRQ+Q@mail.gmail.com>

PewInternet.org just put out one of the most important survey reports
in the e-democracy/open government field in about five years.

Here is my in-depth "inclusion" analysis and commentary:
    http://bitly.com/pewcivic

Please share on Twitter and Facebook if so inspired.

Direct to the report:

Civic Engagement in the Digital Age
    http://bit.ly/15QZUPK

Let's talk about it on Twitter with #pewcivic hashtag. What is your
big takeaway?
   https://twitter.com/search?q=%23PewCivic&src=hash


Here is the beginning of my summary:
    http://bitly.com/pewcivic

The new must-read Civic Engagement in the Digital Age study by the Pew
Internet and American Life Project makes it clear to me:

 Accepting ?politics as usual? means those who already show up in
political life continue to dominate online. Closing the digital civic
engagement divide is a challenge for our generation to solve.

Every few years, like their Neighbors Online report, the Pew Internet
and American Life project releases game changing numbers that help us
re-calibrate our priorities and investments to build civic and
democratic good.

Quick Numbers

After many hours of pouring through the report, these are the numbers
that stood out to me.

Good: 49% of all adults participated in online ?civic communication?
and/or are a ?political social networking site? user in 2012

10% only did online ?civic communication? (34% total)

16% only were political sns users (39% total)

23% did both

More on the political sns users below ? Report author Aaron Smith sent
us the breakdown above and other tidbits which are not detailed in the
main report.

Bad: Huge online civic communication gap based on income - Households
over 75K at 47%+, 20K to under 30K only 24% ? Almost half the
participation rate participating civically online, report shows huge
education gaps as well

Really Bad: Whites 38% compared to Blacks at 23% and Latinos at 17% ?
Action oriented online civic communication helps citizens have a
voice, power, and influence in democracy

Bad Foundation: For offline ?civic communication? Whites 43%, Blacks
31%, Latinos 26% - Survey does find better Black ? White racial equity
with direct involvement in offline civic groups/activities. It is
essential to point out that many differences in race are more related
to income and education levels than anything else ? but the impact is
that same, important voices are not being heard.

Clift Notes: Everything about the Internet, from raising voices to
organizing to information access to convenience, makes it a great
equalizer for democratic participation. Today with far greater
minority access to the Internet, why is the civic communication gap
larger online than offline?

The online gap based on race is 3% larger for Blacks and 4% for Latinos.

What is it about the design, technical assumptions, perceived
relevancy, marketing, and inclusive outreach with online civic
engagement that is not working make democracy stronger and more
equitable? Why are the clear democratic benefits of the digital age
not leading to a more representative and participatory democracy for
all? If we seek to engage not just more people from a small pool of
the most educated and wealthier citizens, but instead want this
digital opportunity to provide more democratic opportunity for all, we
are going in the wrong direction.

I think perhaps the problem was that there was no real logical/theoretical link between say being on Facebook and choosing a cookie over a granola bar. ?It might have been because Facebook users have less self-control or self-regulation, but it also might have been more associative. ?Perhaps people tend to watch or read CNN more in the morning when they grab a Granola bar for nutrition while they check their Facebook later at night when they are more likely to indulge in comfort food like cookies. ?Or perhaps people who read Facebook just like cookies more. ?I got the sense that the researchers were trying to do something akin to the marshmallow study (which has its own interpretive issues) but were not quite as clear on a causal mechanism. ?




The later correlation between Facebook and higher debt also seemed somewhat problematic to me. ?I think you could do a study that men who watch Football tend to be heavier drinkers than men who watch CNN (well these days maybe not) - but are they heavier drinkers because they watch football more?




Anyway that is my take on the difficulties with the study, maybe others have another view. ?

I too see the jump to cookies and debt as problematic. There also seems to be  an embedded value system here--*indulgent* and *impulsive* are the cookie eaters. 

Study three makes big claims with a sample of only 84.

Study 1 is sound--talk with your friends and you'll feel better about yourself, which is why we have friends, isn't it?

Study 2 sounds a bit tautological.

SNs increase self-esteem, when you concentrate on self-presentation. Increase in the likelihood of narcissism?

Ms Lattimore

thanks for the followup and your thoughts.

I've mostly given up trying to figure out why people do the research they 
do, and I've seen a lot worse papers in 45 years of refereeing.

We agree that the media almost always oversimplify, and don't know the 
difference between causation and correlation -- nor such things as biased 
samples. (I note the sample was not really described.)

Back to doing research

Subject: [Air-L] Trust in online environments - interdisciplinary faculty
 and PhD workshops - University of Oslo
Message-ID: <CDA67018.5E324%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIRists,

Please cross-post and distribute as appropriate:

        Faculty workshop ? PhD workshop ? Public Debate
Whom ? and what ? can you trust in online / mediated environments?
Interdisciplinary Perspectives in Philosophy, Computer Science, Media
Studies.
September 26-27, 2013: Department of Media and Communication, University of
Oslo.

Lecturers / mentors:
Dag Elgesem, University of Bergen
James Moor, Dartmouth College
Judith Simon,University of Vienna &, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,
Elisabeth Staksrud, University of Oslo
Mariarosaria Taddeo, University of Warwick
Herman Tavani, Rivier University, New Hampshire
John Weckert, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, Australia

Background / description:
James Moor?s seminal paper, ?What is Computer Ethics?? (1985), inaugurated a
new generation of interdisciplinary reflection on how computing technologies
evoked distinctive new ethical challenges.? These challenges are often quite
novel ? and their roots in specific technologies thus require equally novel
and collaborative reflection across the otherwise diverse disciplines of
philosophy, applied ethics, computer science, social science, and so on.

Especially over the past decade, increasing attention has been given to
questions of trust and privacy in online and mediated environments.  These
questions are complicated by important differences between face-to-face and
online/mediated experiences of trust and privacy - and further complicated
by the increasingly important roles of Artificial Agents (AAs) and
Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) such as those at work in ?recommendations for
you? on commercial websites, web-page ranking algorithms used in popular
search engines, and so on. At the same time, AAs and MASs are becoming
increasingly autonomous ? capable of making decisions independently of human
control. Such autonomy raises centrally philosophical questions:? Are such
AAs and MASs further capable of making autonomous ethical judgments ?
including the specific sort of judgment denoted by phronesis or ?practical
wisdom??? And: how would we know if we can or should trust these agents ?
precisely as they become increasingly indispensible to our lives?

Our lecturers / mentors have each undertaken leading work in these domains,
both within philosophically-grounded and -oriented reflection (J. Moor, J.
Simon, M. Taddeo, H. Tavani) and within the contexts of online and mediated
communication environments (D. Elgesem, E. Staksrud, C.Ess).
Our faculty and PhD workshops are designed to further important dialogue and
debate, and foster current doctoral research in these domains.  The public
debate will offer highlights of current insights and findings, along with
critical discussion of our defining themes and questions.

For more details, including registration procedures, please see the
workshops / lecture website.

Background
Especially over the last decade or so, both social science and humanistic
research have recognized the emergence of ?the relational self,? as fostered
by Internet-facilitated modes and venues of communication ? most especially
social media.?
Understanding how far our conceptions of selfhood may be changing in Western
societies ? broadly, from more individual to more relational, and, perhaps,
from more rational to more emotive ? is critical, especially as these
changes seem further tied to
* changing circumstances of socialization and togetherness in everyday life,
and interweaving of different networks of affiliation that is associated
with networked media for personal communication (cf. Rainie & Wellman,
2012); 
* changing methodologies and approaches to research designed to better tease
out and explore the multiple dimensions of relationality;
* changing sensibilities and expectations regarding privacy and notions of
privatlivet and the (proper) boundaries of our intimsf?re (intimate sphere),
and thereby 
* possible coherencies and/or conflicts with current research ethics codes
and law, e.g., expected changes in EU data privacy protection law that
increases individual privacy protections, but may remain silent regarding
privacy and other protections for close relationships such as are already
encoded, for example in the NESH 2006 guidelines (Norway) as already more
relationally oriented.

The workshop addresses theories of relational selfhood; research
methodologies as retuned to such selfhood; and new research ethics questions
evoked by changing senses of selfhood and thus privacy expectations.

Subject: [Air-L] Internet Studies: Perspectives on a Developing Field - new
 publication
Message-ID: <CDA67A33.5E339%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIRists,

On behalf of the co-editors and the authors whose work is gathered in this
special issue of new media and society, I'm very happy to call your
attention to the recent online publication of the Introduction:

Internet Studies: Perspectives on a rapidly developing field
Charles Ess, William Dutton
doi: 10.1177/1461444812462845
New Media & Society, April 29, 2013

<http://nms.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/04/24/1461444812462845.full>

To quote from the introduction - which is available as a free download -

We have organized the contributions to this issue such that they flow across
four general areas. The first focuses on the field as a whole, and is filled
by our lead article, by Tai-Quan Peng, Lun Zhang, Zhijin Zhong and Jonathan
JH Zhu, ?Mapping the landscape of Internet Studies: Text mining of social
science journal articles 2000?2009?. We then shift focus to specific
Perspectives from Different Arenas, beginning with Jingyan (Elaine) Yuan?s
?A culturalist critique of ?online community? in new media studies?,
followed by Heidi Campbell?s ?Religion and the Internet as a microcosm for
studying trends and implications within Internet Studies?, then an article
by Jessie Daniels, ?Race and racism in Internet Studies?, and Michel van
Eeten and Milton Mueller?s ?Where is the governance in Internet
governance??. The next set of articles focus more on Methodological
Perspectives, beginning with Juliette De Maeyer?s ?Towards a hyperlinked
society: A critical review of link studies?, followed by Niels Br?gger?s
?Web historiography and Internet Studies: Challenges and perspectives?. The
two final articles are both tied to Critical Perspectives on User
Empowerment, a cross-cutting theme of Internet research across various
research arenas. Anja Bechmann and Stine Lomborg?s article is entitled
?Mapping actor roles in social media: Different perspectives on value
creation in theories of user participation?, and this is followed by
Christian Fuchs and Nick Dyer-Witheford?s challenge to Internet Studies,
entitled ?Karl Marx @ Internet Studies?.

We conclude with a more general account of what we have learned about this
evolving field from this special issue in light of work on our respective
handbooks.

Several of the articles are already published online; the print version of
the complete issue will appear later this year.

We would also like to express our gratitude to numerous reviewers and to
editors Steve Jones and Nickolas Jankowski for their constant support and
assistance in developing and bringing this special issue to fruition.

Enjoy!
