Hi Kishonna,

Part of my PhD thesis, ?Co-productions of Technology, Culture and Policy 
in the North American Community Wireless Networking Movement? looked at 
'policy hacking' - it is available here, along with the rest of the 
thesis chapters: http://www.alisonpowell.ca/?page_id=71

I have also looked at 'technical activism' in a recent paper "Emerging 
Issues in Internet Regulation: the unstable role of Wikileaks and 
cyber-vigilantism" - available here 
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1932740

and I'm working on something now about hacking at the SOPA strike . . . 
finished soon I hope.

All the best,

alison.

Message-ID: <CAAiw9dcf8bC889-ai_eU7=H2dfUkn3YEjAzQF1svXH8v1L_=sw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,



I was wondering whether anyone on the list is aware of the literature
(theoretical or empirical) discussing cyberspace as a potentially new space
for social policy, especially in the context of the current economic crisis
- when using e-solutions in the area of social policy might be considered
one of the ways of restructuring existing welfare states? Any suggestions
will be much appreciated.



Thank you very much for your consideration.



Best regards,



tomasz

Dear IRs,

I am looking at available data of online pornography and looked at
available studies made out of them.

I'm very surprised to mainly only find studies on impact/effect of
pornography on humans with almost none study on topology/dynamics/evolution
of the object itself.

Does some of you have some references in mind that dig in that direction ?

(If I manage to arrange a dataset out of available data on public website,
I would be glad to share it, let me know if you're interested.)

Thanks for your help,
All best,
Antoine

Dear Antoine,

Feona Atwood comes to mind for me, as well as studies of media and
pornography by Robert Jensen. I'd start by looking at Feona's work and
seeing where that leads you, I know this is a developing area of
research, especially evolving understandings of pornography in
everyday life. I hope this helps, Peter

Bryant Paul from Indiana University Telecom specializes in sexual
messaging in media, not sure that involves porn per se, but worth a
look.

{Apologies for duplication]

ASIS&T Changes Its Name, Enhances Its Global Mission 


With nearly 90% of all ballots cast voting in favor of a name change, the American Society for Information Science and Technology has become the Association for Information Science and Technology.

While the ASIS&T acronym stays the same, the name change recognizes the growing influence of ASIS&T in the international arena. The opportunities and challenges with respect to the science and technology of information are increasingly international in focus and scope. ASIS&T supports members around the globe in addressing these opportunities and challenges.

When 2012 ASIS&T president Diane H. Sonnenwald, in collaboration with 2011 president Linda C. Smith,  2013 president Andrew Dillon, and 2014 president Harry Bruce, called for a membership vote on the name change issue, she said, ?The word American in our name often makes it difficult for individuals outside the United States to receive recognition for belonging to and participating in ASIS&T. It also fails to recognize the important contributions members outside the United States make to our association and to our discipline.?

In addition, Sonnenwald noted that increasing international participation in ASIS&T will provide additional opportunities for all members to learn from and share expertise and knowledge with colleagues who have different expertise and knowledge.
 
Currently 18% of ASIS&T members reside outside the United States in 52 different countries. At the recent 75th Anniversary ASIS&T Annual Meeting, attendees came from 25 countries, with 22% coming from countries other than the United States. In addition, ASIS&T runs successful international conferences, notably the annual European Information Architecture Summit, and will hold its 2013 Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada. 

The new name reflects the commitment of our members to international cooperation and global efforts to increase the influence of information science in education, research and applications to ensure the best access, management and use of information in an increasingly interconnected world.

All contact points, including web address, e-mail, phone, address, etc. will remain the same.

I am looking at available data of online pornography and looked at

I'm very surprised to mainly only find studies on impact/effect of
pornography on humans with almost none study on topology/dynamics/evolution

Does some of you have some references in mind that dig in that direction ?

Hi Antoine,

I know that Prof Bryant Paul, here at Indiana University, he researches
pornography and the effects of sexual messages in the media. You'd probably
want to look him up.

Here's the link to his website:

Hi Antoine:
here is a reference to a study that analyzed the 
complete Web traffic at a German university 
during the early days of the Web and found porn 
to be the most frequently type of content 
accessed (ca. 25% of Web traffic).

Berker, T. 2002. World Wide Web use at a German 
university - computers, sex, and imported names: 
results of a log file analysis. In B. Batinic, 
U.-D. Reips, and M. Bosnjak (eds.), Online Social 
Sciences (pp. 365-382). G?ttingen, Germany: 
Hogrefe.

Hope it helps.

Hello Antoine -

I know a Brazilian Anthropologist, Carolina Parreiras Silva, was looking at sexualities online and has recently focused on porn from an ethnographic perspective.
She's on Twitter as @carolmineira .
You might find some intersection between the qual and the quant.

Cheers,
Sharon Greenfield

Dear Mark,
You might find the website for the "Digging into Data Challenge" (
www.diggingintodata.org) a useful resource.  The Digging into Data
Challenge is an international grant competition created by the National
Endowment for the Humanities that involves ten research funders
representing Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United
States (the National Science Foundation and the Institute for Museum and
Library Services are the other two US funders).

We are currently soliciting applications for round 3 of this competition,
but for your purposes, you might find a lot of useful material based on the
first round of funding, including a report from the Council on Library and
Information Resources (CLIR): "One Culture. Computationally Intensive
Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences: A Report on the Experiences
of First Respondents to the Digging Into Data Challenge" (
http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub151).

Since the projects require diverse collaborative teams from a variety
of disciplinary backgrounds and nationalities, you get a nice mix of
qualitative and quantitative methodologies against the backdrop of some
interesting research material (such as data mining historical crime using
nearly 200,000 trials across nearly 250 years in the Old Bailey archives -
http://criminalintent.org/).  Furthermore, many projects have robust
project websites and blogs.

The Digging website also has a healthy list of available data repositories:
http://www.diggingintodata.org/Home/Repositories/tabid/167/Default.aspx

Hope you and your students find these resources useful.

(And, as an aside, anyone interested in applying for a Digging into Data
grant should also visit diggingintodata.org for the submission guidelines
-- the deadline is May 15, 2013).

With kind regards,
Jason

Hi there

Very interesting question and I'd love to be kept in the loop!

Below is not exactly what you were asking for but certainly relevant:

Patterns of ownership of child model sites:
Profiling the profiteers and consumers of child exploitation material
First Monday, Volume 18, Number 2 - 4 February 2013
http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4300

We also have a JASIST paper in print & happy to email you a late draft

See also this one re terminology
It is NOT child pornography. It is a crime scene photo

Subject: [Air-L] Submission Deadline and Very Early Bird Registration
 extension plus Proceedings announed
Message-ID: <CAFMSwM+SZiPLQX2+jRUb2LBOEHM-c1BXF6MqKygq-eC=R4cMCQ@mail.gmail.com>

There is still time to submit a proposal for the 2013 ELD Conference and we
have some very exciting news to add to an already exciting conference

*The new submission deadline is March 17, 2013* and the reason we've
extended the window to submit is because *select proceeding* from the
conference *will be published in the new Journal of Emerging Learning
Design (ELDJ)*.  This is not to say that all presentations will or are
expected to appear in the ELDJ, or that consideration for ELDJ is a
requirement of submission.  But for those who are interested, publication
in this peer-reviewed journal is going to be an option.  Details on the
ELDJ appear at the bottom of this notice.

For more information on ELD13 Conference, please click on the following link
http://eld.montclair.edu/

2013 Conference Theme ? Learning As Disruption
The mission of the Emerging Learning Design Conference is to showcase best
practices in design and implementation by bringing together those
interested in engaging in a vibrant and dynamic discourse regarding
pedagogy and how technology can better enhance it.

The 2013 conference will take place on the campus of Montclair State
University.  MSU is located in northern New Jersey, 14 miles west of
Manhattan and is easily accessible by car, bus, or train.

As part of our rolling acceptance method of creating the conference
program, we've already secured some great presentations.  Don't delay in
submitting yours to fill our remaining spots alongside presentations like
these:

?         Christopher Donoghue will help you increase the frequency and
quality of instructor-student interaction in distance education using
Qualtrics, in ?Virtual Instructor-Student Interaction in an Asynchronous
Learning Network?.

?         Michael Kolitsky will show us how to enable different modes of
learning, on-demand, with ?Where Does 3D Printing Fit Into Your Pedagogical
Thinking??

?         John T Oliver will make a case for the pedagogical value of open,
collaborative knowledge construction in ?Making student Wikipedians:
Encouraging disruptive scholarly communication?

?         Sophie Idromenos will demonstrate game design using Scratch in a
hands-on workshop called "The Scratch Disruption: Video Game Design with
Scratch.

We are also pleased to announce that the Very Early Bird Registration
pricing has also been extended until March 17th.  So there?s still time to
get the lowest registration cost available, at least for a couple more
weeks.

*The Journal of Emerging Learning Design
*The *Journal of Emerging Learning Design (ELDJ) *is an open access,
peer-reviewed, online journal that provides a platform for academics and
practitioners to explore emerging learning design theories, concepts, and
issues and their implications at national and international levels.

An outgrowth of the annual Emerging Learning Design
Conference<http://eld.montclair.edu/>,
which makes its home at Montclair State University (MSU), The ELDJ invites
scholarly communication in the emerging learning design field and will
present best practices in design and implementation by offering articles
that present, propose, or review engaging and dynamic approaches to
pedagogy and how technology can better enhance it.

The inaugural issue is planned for March 22nd, 2013.  The issue including
the proceedings from the Emerging Learning Design 2013 conference is
anticipated for early 2014.

Subject: [Air-L] Knight News Challenge: Collaborators for free-range voting
Message-ID: <1362280600.2EAEb10.27890@out.zelea.com>

We're seeking collaborators for a Knight News Challenge proposal.
This year's challenge is, "How might we improve the way citizens and
governments interact?"  https://www.newschallenge.org/

The submission deadline is March 18.  Below is a tentative draft of
our proposal.  We haven't finalized it yet.  If you're a provider of
online voting services and wish to join in this proposal, please
contact one of us (see provider list in description below).  Aside
from technical providers, we might also need organizational support
(in part because there's financing if we win).


PROJECT TITLE

   Free-range voting

MAIN IMAGE

   http://zelea.com/project/outcast/vomir.png

DESCRIPTION

   This is a proposal to apply the technology of vote mirroring in
   order to forestall the formation of a monopoly in primary voting
   services.  Innovations in primary voting are beginning to improve
   the way citizens and governments interact.  New methods of
   continuous, online voting will soon enable citizens to form and
   express their opinions well in advance of government decisions.  To
   ensure that these developments offer enhancements to our political
   freedom, rather than reductions, we must maintain a level playing
   field among the competing technical providers; both the ability of
   the citizen to express herself clearly and effectively, and the
   ability of the technician to supply the necessary innovations,
   depend on the citizen's unrestricted freedom in choosing a
   technical provider.  You might think that opening up the source
   code of a voting facility would be sufficient to ensure that the
   facility itself stays free and open, but that is not true.  Voting
   is prone to network effects.  It's like a telephone service in this
   regard.  If I plug my telephone into a different network than
   everyone else is using, then it isn't going to work.  Having a copy
   of the source code won't help.  Unless something is done to address
   and tame the broader network effects, then online voters (like
   telephone customers before them) will become locked into the
   services of a dominant provider.

   The solution proposed here is vote mirroring.  Votes cast at
   facility A are mirrored at facilities B, C, and so forth.  This
   involves copying each vote and translating it from the format of
   the source facility (A) to that of the mirroring facility (B, C,
   etc.).  Voting methods may differ hugely and the translation may
   therefore entail a degree of information loss, making for an
   imperfect image.  Such imperfections cannot invalidate the overall
   technique, however, because a best effort at an image is always a
   better reflection of reality than no image at all.  The upshot is
   that each facility now gets all the votes and can show the truest
   possible picture of the overall results.  It no longer matters
   where I cast my own vote, because it shows up everywhere
   regardless.  So I can range freely across all the available
   facilities and settle on whichever best suits my personal needs and
   preferences.  Never again can I be trapped by a particular
   provider.

   This proposal will initially implement free-range voting in:

      Agora Voting
         http://agoravoting.com/
         Libre software voting platform, through the small company
         Wadobo, which has collaborated very actively in its
         development.  Contact: Eduardo Robles Elvira.

      Votorola
         http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html
         Social software in support of public autonomy.  Contact:
         Michael Allan, +1 416-699-9528, http://zelea.com

      - if you're a technical provider of voting facilities and wish
        to join us in this proposal, please contact one of us -

   Together we plan to build a lightweight mirroring network to
   loosely interconnect our voting facilities.  We'll begin with
   voting forms that are fully public; those are the simplest to
   handle and they allow for unrestricted technical freedom among
   providers.  We'll work out the problems and gain experience with
   the technology.  An immediate benefit will be to reduce the
   expectation of network effects that has long poisoned relations
   among providers and hampered their development work.  Small
   projects will no longer be forced to devote scarce resources to
   attempts at tipping an unstable balance in their own favour.
   Instead, we may expect an improvement in the professional climate
   of the field and an increase in its attractiveness to talent, and
   other resources.

   Along the way, we'll document the techniques, patterns and
   protocols that work for us.  These will be the first entries in
   what we hope later evolves into a catalogue of lightweight
   standards that others may optionally apply; both to hook into the
   mirroring network itself, and also to interoperate with other
   facilities related to voting.  We'll avoid developing standards
   that are mandatory for mirroring, however, because that might
   restrict technical freedom, impair innovation, and degrade the
   mirroring network into a technical monopoly of its own.  Instead,
   we'll keep the mirroring network forever open to all possible
   methods, forms and implementations of voting.

WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT?  (1 sentence max)

   To apply the technology of vote mirroring in order to forestall the
   formation of an online monopoly in the provision of primary voting
   services, improve the professional climate among providers, and
   keep the field open as a source of innovation for improving the way
   citizens and governments iteract.

Subject: [Air-L] Knight News Challenge: Pioneering the practice of public
	autonomy
Message-ID: <1362294719.CFBf60.4818@out.zelea.com>

I'm seeking practitioners to collaborate on a second Knight News
Challenge proposal.  Again, this year's challenge is, "How might we
improve the way citizens and governments interact?"
https://www.newschallenge.org/

The submission deadline is March 18.  Below is a rough draft of the
proposal.  Aside from practitioners, we might also need organizational
support (in part because there's financing if we win).  Please let me
know if you can help.  My contact details are at: http://zelea.com/


PROJECT TITLE

   Pioneering the practice of public autonomy

MAIN IMAGE

   http://zelea.com/project/votorola/d/practice/2-grow/validity/seeking.png

DESCRIPTION

   We aren't quite free if we live under laws and other norms that we
   cannot reasonably agree with.  To be free in a social world that
   regulates itself by norms (to have public autonomy), we must be
   able to amend and correct those norms that offend us on this
   principle.  As the social theorist and philosopher Habermas puts
   it, "Just those action norms are valid to which all possibly
   affected persons could agree as participants in rational
   discourses."  Taking this discourse principle as our guiding star,
   we aim to pioneer a practice of public autonomy based on the
   continual exposure of draft norms to the guidance of rational
   discourses.  We'll simultaneously run electoral primaries based on
   open, transitive voting to put our most qualified practitioners on
   the ballot and into office.  There they'll continue to work with
   us, their un-elected peers.  Together we'll use this improved
   mechanism of interaction between citizens and government to ratchet
   up the legitimacy of statutes and other regulatory norms.  On the
   technical side, we'll use MediaWiki for the drafting medium;
   Semantic MediaWiki as an open database and voter registry
   (streetwiki); existing public forums as the discussion media;
   Votorola's prototype toolset for transitive voting and recombinant
   text; plus any other suitable tools and technical projects that we
   pick up along the way.  Already we have enough to support a crude
   practice.

   Pioneering that practice is the topic of this proposal.  There are
   two things to understand about this from the outset.  The first is
   that, despite the proliferation of designs for participatory
   democracy that are flawed in terms of legitimacy and efficacy,
   nobody has yet found such a fundamental flaw in the design of this
   particular practice.  The acid test is to locate the single person
   who cannot reasonably assent to a law, then evolve that law in a
   direction to which all can assent.  Second, it appears that the
   core of this practice can be developed and proven by a small group
   of pioneers.  The core is the process of validity seeking (main
   figure).  It is conducted by small "leaf groups" of typically 2-5
   practitioners who continually join with the public in discourse.
   These discourses are structured not only to guide the would-be
   normative action in the direction of validity, but also to provide
   the human resources that are necessary to carry out that action.
   This implies that *if* a pioneering leaf group ever succeeds in
   getting the design and performance of this core process right,
   delivering on both its purposes, then the entire population will be
   led into freedom by that success.

   To achieve that success will require special skills.  We're looking
   for people who have the capacity to critique the design of the
   practice and to expose any flaws, while also being resourceful
   enough to handle a toolset that is only partly implemented and may
   yet require some re-design work.  The technical designs cannot be
   allowed to harden into finished tools until we have a better
   understanding of the hands-on practice.  We're also looking for
   people with imagination.  When your hands are engaged in a nascent
   practice such as this, and your mind is equipped to make up for the
   missing parts, then it becomes like a lense into the future; you're
   out in front thinking for all the others who will follow.  If you
   know of anyone possessing these skills who might be interested,
   please point them to this proposal.

WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT?  (1 sentence max)

   To pioneer a practice of public autonomy that interrelates citizens
   and government via mechanisms of transitive primary voting,
   recombinant text, and the continual exposure of legislative bills
   and other draft norms to the guidance of rational discourses.

The absence may be disciplinary. I know that Shane Greenstein in his discussions of internet adoption takes up the very prominent role that pornography distributors have. In diffusion of technology terms, pornography has been major content source for VHS and DVD media as well as internet and broadband adoption. I believe there is quantitative data there, I don't have a reference at my fingertips though.

::: ECSCW 2013 ::: Final Call for Workshops and Master Classes

The 13th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2013)
21-25 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus.

Website: http://www.ecscw2013.org/

Master Classes and Workshops will be held on Saturday 21 - Sunday 22 September.

Submission deadline for proposals: March 8, 2013
Notification: April 11, 2013
Proposed workshop paper deadline: June 28, 2013


Workshops

Workshops are designed to offer an informal environment for focused group 
discussion and learning. They can be in the format of presentation followed by 
synthesis of contributions and discussion. However, we also encourage proposals 
that include activities such as extensive hands-on sessions, site explorations, 
or applied method sessions to advance practical understandings of emerging 
application areas, concepts, and new methodologies. Each workshop should 
generate ideas that give the ECSCW community a new, organized way of thinking 
about a given topic or suggest promising directions for future research. 
Workshops may be half-day or full day sessions.

Workshop proposals should consist of an abstract and a detailed proposal. The 
abstract should be no more than 150 words. The body of the proposal should be 
no more than 3000 words, and should include a description of the theme(s) of 
the workshop, the workshop activities and goals, the duration of the workshop 
(one or two full days), the background of the organizer(s), the maximum number 
of participants, and the means of recruiting and selecting participants. We 
encourage workshop organizers to create web-based resources for their workshops 
so that advertising, submission and organization can be handled online. 
Submissions should be sent through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.

Accepted workshops will need to provide a short description of the workshop for 
publication on the conference web site containing the workshop title, names and 
affiliations of organizers, 150-word abstract, workshop web site, and position 
paper submission or other participation requirements.

Accepted workshops may optionally provide a 2-page Workshop Program for 
printing in the conference supplemental proceedings. The program should contain 
the workshop title, 150-word abstract, objectives, participant names and 
schedule.


Master Classes

Master classes will offer a small number of participants the opportunity to 
learn about specific CSCW concepts, methods and techniques from recognized 
experts. Master classes may be for half-day or full day sessions. Master 
classes proposals should be no more than 3000 words, and should include a 
description of the theme(s) of the master class, the background of the 
organizer(s) and the maximum number of participants. Submissions should be sent 
through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.

Hi Nancy and all,

I don't know if anyone addressed your plea for help yet, but I'm just
looking at the template linked from http://ir14.aoir.org/cfp/, and it
appears it IS the template.  All the sentences and paragraphs where the
style guide mentions a style are actually styled in that style.

Wow, sorry to be so clumsy in that last sentence, but y'all see my meaning
I hope.  I haven't done a deep dive yet, but so far all the styles I need
are already embedded

FWIW,

annette

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: 4TH ANNUAL DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM OF THE COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY DIVISION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION
 ***APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 15, 2013!***

Date and Time: Monday, 17 June 2013; 9:00 ? 17:00

Location: Hilton London Metropole Hotel

Cost: $75.00 USD (some scholarships available, see below)

Primary Organizers: Miriam Metzger, UCSB; Nicole Kramer, U Duisburg-Essen and Lee Humphreys, Cornell U

Description: The consortium brings together PhD candidates working on Communication and Technology to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The goals of the event are to provide feedback and advice to participating PhD candidates on their in-progress research thesis. Moreover, the doctoral consortium will provide the opportunity to meet experts as well as fellow PhD candidates from different backgrounds working on related topics.

Students who would like to participate in the doctoral consortium are invited to submit applications as per the instructions listed below. During the consortium, students will be invited to present their work and they will receive feedback from their fellow students and faculty participants, all of whom will have read the proposals in advance of the Doctoral Consortium. In addition, at least one faculty participant will be assigned to respond in detail to each proposal. Besides the presentations of proposals, there will also be professional development sessions on topics such as ethics, research methods, publishing the dissertation, and positioning one?s work for the job market.

Applicants must be advanced to candidacy and have their dissertation proposal topic. Ideally, students will be in the early stages of their dissertation, where feedback would be most helpful in refining and advancing their work. To apply, students must submit a proposal describing their research as follows:

?   Submissions must be related to the working area of the Communication and Technology Division of ICA

?   Proposals must identify the significant problems in the field of research, briefly outline current knowledge of the problem domain, and clearly formulate a research question

?   Proposals must outline the proposed research approach, methods, and results obtained so far

?   Submissions must not exceed 6000 words, and must include name and affiliation of the PhD candidate

?   Applications should be accompanied by a short letter of recommendation from the advisor stating how the PhD candidate can benefit from participation in the Doctoral Consortium

The proposal and letter of recommendation must be submitted as one PDF document and sent as an attachment in an email to Miriam Metzger, metzger at comm.ucsb.edu<mailto:metzger at comm.ucsb.edu>. The new deadline for submission is March 15, 2013. Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the members of the program committee based on significance of research, specificity of research topic and/or questions, clarity of writing, and degree to which the student can benefit from expert guidance and feedback.

To help ensure the consortium best meets the needs of its members, limited financial assistance will be made possible by the CAT Division.

Subject: [Air-L] Facebook researchers: how do you get a list of users who
	like a page?
Message-ID: <CAEa9SOGcCNyuv5bhc-SvWntxM0WPptbB18ASpJVGEkbV5irT0A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I am researching NPOs that use Facebook, and I'm trying to compile a
network of users who like individual NPO FB pages. I have tried to get a
list of users who like the NPO FB pages using two importers (NodeXL and
netvizz), but these tools only download user-post networks and do not
provide a list of all users who like the page (at least I didn't see that
option).

I recently read that Facebook restricts this option in the API due to
privacy concerns<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3546320/how-to-list-facebook-users-who-like-a-page-or-interest>,
and I noticed that the "like" class in
FQL<http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/like>only
returns lists for objects like posts, photos, etc.

Does anyone have a tool or method for using the API to get this data?

Thanks!

Andrew

Andrew,

If you know how to query the Facebook API you can pull the names and 
userids of all users whose profile you can view with your access token 
who have liked any public post. You access the data by appending 
"/likes" to any FB graph object id that can be liked (photos, comments, 
wall posts, etc.) and paging through the results until there are none left.

Here's an example: 
https://graph.facebook.com/10150146071831729/likes?limit=100 (100 is the 
max N of results FB returns in a single API call and allows you to pull 
results faster). Note that in nearly all cases, you will pull fewer 
names than the total N of likes the API lists--this is due to some users 
having privacy settings that prevent outsiders from viewing their likes.

Best, ~DEEN

I am really curious if you asked the question SHOULD I access a list of
users who like a certain page.  If even Facebook views the privacy of their
users and the pages that they like on Facebook as private, perhaps you
should consider your own research ethics. Membership lists typically
receive certain protections under the law--especially in the EU and UK.
While "likes" of a certain page are not necessarily construed as membership
lists, it would set a fascinating legal precedent for someone to try them
as such.

Not to disagree necessarily, but I wouldn't allow Facebook's privacy (or data access) policies to dictate research ethics either...

PAPER ONE

The Organizational Blog as a Boundary Object: The Roles and Dilemmas of Government Agency Bloggers

Annette Agerdal-Hjermind (Department of Business Communication, Business and Social Sciences, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark)

This article looks at organizational blogger roles and how they both reflect and affect the way knowledge is communicated across department boundaries in a corporate blogging context. The blog is approached from a sociotechnical perspective, addressing and looking into the various roles in a community of practice and the enactment of the bloggers in a transparent context. Empirical examples of discourses at work in an organizational blog are highlighted, and the diverging roles and dilemmas of the blogging employees are discussed. People within the same organization have different goals in relation to the same technology, and the content of the blog and the blog comments are managed differently by the internal bloggers which feel empowered or disempowered. The article pinpoints roles of enactment in a socio-technical perspective through pointing out conflicting goals, roles and the resulting counter discourses and shows examples of how the group of bloggers with the shared narrative tradition is able to mobilize its members and create subgroups for appropriate blog behaviors and changing behavior.

PAPER TWO

Revealing the Socio-Technical Design of Global E-Businesses: A Case of Digital Artists Engaging in Radical Transparency

Constance E. Kampf (Department of Business Communication, Institute for Erhvervskoomunikation, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark)

Global e-businesses such as Google, Amazon and E-bay affect both users and society. How can society begin to understand this duality in the socio-technical affordances of e-business? This paper examines a digital art performance as an example of the tensions between capitalist businesses and the public commons. Using notions of transparency and knowledge as a form of Knowledge Management rooted in Nonaka?s SECI Model, it examines ways in which knowledge about how Google uses the Internet are made explicit through the digital art performance. It discusses the implications for both defining a macro level of socio-technical design and using dimensions of transparency to understand technology based Internet business, positing global Internet business as having two levels of socio-technical design?1) the micro level, dealing with user interaction, and 2) the macro level, dealing with the social design and implications for society inherent in pervasive technology based businesses. The Macro level of design is operationalized through a combination of knowledge management theory and dimensions of transparency.

PAPER THREE

Design Democratization with Communities: Drawing Toward Locally Meaningful Design

Naska Winschiers-Goagoses (Universit?t Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany), Heike Winschiers-Theophilus (School of Information Technology, Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia), Kasper Rodil (Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark), Gereon Koch Kapuire (School of Information Technology, Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia) and Kasper Jensen (School of Information Technology, Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia)

The authors present community drawing as meaningful representations to inform locally valid technology design. They investigate recognition within and across cultural borders, thereby exposing variances of localities. The study contributes to the still scarce body of empirical work on culturally meaningful development of visual representations and recognition, as part of a longitudinal research project in which we co-design a 3D visualization for a specific Namibian pilot site.

PAPER FOUR

An Effective and Quality Approach to Reduce the Turnover Rate for Hair Salon Industry

Jen-Hui Tsai (PhD Program in Management, DaYeh University, Dacun, Changhua, Taiwan), Meng-Chuan Tsai (Department of Human Resource Public Relations, DaYeh University, Dacun, Changhua, Taiwan), Yu-Ming Chung (Department of Chains and Franchising Management, Takming University of Science and Technology, Taipei City, Taiwan) and Chia-Wen Tsai (Department of Information Management, Ming Chuan University, Guishan Township, Taoyuan County, Taiwan)

This study aims to provide an effective approach to reduce the turnover rate and forecast the supply of hair stylists for the hair salon industry. An absorbing Markov chain process was applied in this study to forecast the supply of hair stylists for a hair salon chain. A hair salon chain with 13 salons in Taiwan was investigated as the case in this study. According to its business goals and expansion plans, and considering the firm?s present personnel profiles, the authors estimate the future demand for stylists and reduce the turnover rate for this company. In addition, this study finds that, based on a promotion system, the average turnover rate for hairdressing apprentices decreases from 19.500% to 17.770%, and the training period could be shortened from three years to one year and 11 months. Finally, they also found that the estimated supply of hair salon workers at each hierarchy level from 2010 to 2014 will be insufficient. The findings in this study could provide insights for the human resources department of hair salon industry.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Mission of IJSKD: 

The overall mission of the International Journal of Sociotechnology and Knowledge Development (IJSKD) is to provide a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging research ideas and down-to-earth practices which bridge the social and technical gap within organizations and society at large. At the same time it will provide a forum for considering the ethical issues linked to organizational change and development. It will encourage interdisciplinary texts that discuss current practices as well as demonstrating how the advances of - and changes within - technology affect the growth of society (and vice versa). The aim of the journal is to bring together the expertise of people who have worked practically in a changing society across the world for people in the field of organizational development and technology studies including information systems development and implementation.

Coverage of IJSKD:

This journal will look for practical sociotechnical approaches that can assist practitioners, academics, researchers, and students. A particular focus will be on new ideas and approaches including studies of their practical implementation. Appropriate themes might thus include (but are not restricted to) a sociotechnical perspective on:

?	Applied Ergonomic Critical success factors (and key performance indicators) for organizations and technological implementation
?	Culture and trust within organizations and their relevance to technological artifacts
?	Design and technology development issues including requirements and stakeholder participation
?	E-government and democracy as affected by technological change
?	Empowerment and team development
?	HRM issues for innovation and knowledge sharing
?	Humanistic redesign and technological politics in organizations
?	Implementation issues of change and technology

Governance*<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>
* at the **Graduate Institute of International and Development
Studies*<http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

* *

*Call for memos*



The unprecedented growth and the fast development of the Internet have
prompted new forms of interaction and collective action, generating a
series of institutional changes, innovations and challenges. Following the
WCIT conference in Dubai, more and more questions have been raised
regarding the role and relevance of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance. In parallel to the policy discussions on the issue,
this two-day workshop proposes a series of scholarly debates on the role of
intergovernmental organizations in Internet governance and on the promises
and limitations of multistakeholderism. The workshop builds on the
proximity to ITU's World Technology Policy Forum and the Multistakeholder
Advisory Group (MAG) consultations for the 2013 Internet Governance Forum
(IGF) and aims to review current research on global Internet policy-making.

We invite five-page long memos that address the role and future of
different models of governance of the Internet, presenting recently
completed research or work in progress. Papers from any discipline or
institution, from emerging as well as established scholars, are
encouraged. Key questions to be addressed include, but are not limited
to, the
following:

?         What are the long-term implications of the failure of the WCIT?
Is talk of an Internet ?Cold War? relevant, or misleading?

?         How can we assess the role of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance?

?         How can cooperation between intergovernmental organizations and
NGOs be structured?

?         What are the potential and limitations of multistakeholder models
of governance?

?         What role do non-hierarchical networks currently play in global
Internet governance, and should that role be increased or diminished?

?         What is the relevance of sovereignty and jurisdiction when the
Internet creates cross-border harm?



Extended abstracts of approximately 800 words can be submitted through the Easy
Chair website<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=giganetgeneva2013>
*.** **It is expected that participants prepare five-page long **memos **that
will be circulated in advance and a 15-minute presentation on the day of
the workshop.*



*IMPORTANT DATES*

Deadline for extended abstracts (of approx. 800 words) submission: *March
18, 2013*.

Decisions will be made by March 25, 2013.

Memos expected by May 3, 2013.

Attendance at the workshop is free and open to all interested parties.

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network
<http://giga-net.org/>(GigaNet) is a scholarly community initiated in
spring 2006 in conjunction
with the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Its four principal objectives
are to: (1) support the establishment of a global network of scholars
specializing in Internet governance issues; (2) promote the development of
Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study, (3)
advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly
defined: and; (4) facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related
matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments,
international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).
Alongside the annual symposium preceding the IGF, five GigaNet regional
workshops have been so far held in Paris, France (2008), Brussels, Belgium
(2009), Seoul, So. Korea (2009), Montreal, Canada (2010), and Washington
D.C, U.S (2011).


The Programme for the Study of International
Governance<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>provides
a forum for scholars of governance and international organizations
to interact with practitioners from the policy world in order to analyze
global governance arrangements across a variety of issues. Offering a
unique platform for innovative research and exchange, scholars engage with
people working at the United Nations in Geneva, in addition to the many
non-governmental actors working on aspects of public and private governance
in international Geneva. The Programme is based at the Graduate Institute
of International and Development Studies <http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

Subject: [Air-L] Facebook researchers: how do you get a list of users
 who like a page?

Deen: Thanks for the tip. This still seems to be pulling likes from objects
rather than page likes (i.e. people who have clicked the like button on the
page). It may just be that this information is not provided through the API.

Angela: I have considered the privacy issues extensively, and I decided (in
accordance with my IRB approved study) that if this particular information
is publicly accessible through the API, then it is appropriate for
inclusion in my research study. That being said, if the information can't
be obtained using the official API, it's not something I personally am
interested in. As a novice to Facebook data collection, I was asking this
as a technical question to verify that I wasn't missing a way to get this
through the API, not "how do I get this information at any cost?" Perhaps I
should have stated that more clearly in my initial question.

Thanks for raising the point about different conceptions of privacy. I'm
aware of the differences between EU/UK and US privacy considerations. If we
go by the AoIR ethics working group report<http://aoir.org/reports/ethics.pdf>,
the risk to users who control their own privacy settings and what
information is available through the API is minimal and no rights or
expectations of privacy are violated. This would also conceive of the users
from the position of agency rather than as subjects, as they control
privacy settings and what information is available through the API (as Deen
pointed out above). I personally think that line of reasoning meets the
burden of deontological scrutiny, but I welcome debate on this issue.

Finally, I'm not reconstructing a list of page likes from other data (if
that was what you were implying) or using any kind of data manipulation to
derive identities or personal information. All that being said, I don't
necessarily think that information is "off limits" depending on the
particular considerations of a study, but that's a different debate all
together. I'd be happy to continue this discussion off list if you'd like
to find out more about my study and how I plan to use/report the data.

Jean: I agree completely. In my opinion, just because Facebook says user
information is "private" doesn't mean it's compromising or poses a risk for
harm. That's what the IRB process determines.

Hmm, it looks like you can pull usernames and IDs of likers for FB 
objects other than pages (e.g. statuses, photos, etc.). But unless I'm 
missing something in the documentation, it looks like all it offers for 
pages is the total N of likes. Weird. ~DEEN

Editors

Nadine Desrochers, Assistant Professor, ?cole de biblioth?conomie et des sciences de l?information, Universit? de Montr?al, and Daniel Apollon, Associate Professor in Digital Culture, University of Bergen

The editorial team invites chapter proposals for a collective interdisciplinary work to be published in 2014 by IGI Global.

Proposal Submission Deadline: March 30, 2013

Introduction:

Inspired by narratologist G?rard Genette?s seminal work Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation (translated by Jane E. Lewin, Cambridge University Press, 1997), the paratext framework is now used in many fields in order to assess, measure, analyze, and understand the elements that provide the thresholds allowing us to ?step inside? digital objects. When it was originally published in 1987, Genette?s theory pertained to the book, and Genette defined the paratext as those liminal devices which wrap or accompany the text in order to make it both present and presentable ? from titles to tables of content and from footnotes to notebooks.  Yet even in 1987, Genette envisioned extensions of the concept of paratext for new applications to other medias. Today, this important and far-reaching framework is recognized by scholars in many disciplines as a means to study our access to, and understanding of Web content, digital arts, online catalogues, database architecture, and information practices, to name  a few. This book seeks to revisit Genette?s seminal theory for the digital age through a collaborative outlook and an interdisciplinary perspective.

Objective of the Book:

 

The overarching goal of this book is to help scholars from various fields find an interdisciplinary framework and common language with which to study digital objects.

Papers proposed should support one or more of the following objectives:

- To review and assess the potential and parameters of paratextuality in relation to theoretical frameworks originating in various disciplines, with special attention given to digital objects;

- To offer examples of current uses of paratextuality in the study of digital culture and digital objects;

- To show and assess critically the value of paratextuality as a unifying framework for studying various aspects of digital environments from their architecture to their use;

- To propose frameworks with potential applications in many disciplines and to discuss analytical, practical and aesthetic implications from an interdisciplinary perspective;

- To offer a rereading of G?rard Genette? work for the digital context, in order to address some of this key theorist?s own, avowed omissions (such as the paratext pertaining to translations, accompanying documentary dossiers, illustrations, and non-textual material);

- To provide an exploration, and possibly an extension or upheaval of some of the suggested limits proposed by Genette, such as authorial sanction, which now is being challenged in the digital context;

- To present an assessment of the necessary considerations needed to make this theoretical framework transfer from its original object of study (the printed book) to its current, multiple, hybrid, and digital objects of study, which include: scholarly communication, citations, born-digital literature, e-publications, movies, games, retrieval systems, keyword creation, etc.

- To provide a reference work permitting scholars and students from the multiple disciplines using the paratext framework to share a common  lexicon and conceptual toolbox when referring to the boundaries, limitations, and applications of this framework to digital culture.

 

Target Audience:

This book is aimed at scholars, students, and professionals working in the following fields:

 
Bibliometrics
Cultural Studies
Digital Arts
Digital Literature
Database Design
Information Architecture
Library and Information Science
Literary Studies
Media Studies
Scholarly Communication

Subject: [Air-L] New book of interest: journalism/media ethics
Message-ID: <CD5BF0B2.5A84A%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIRists,

Edited by Stephen A.J. Ward, _Global Media Ethics: Problems and
Perspectives_ is now out from Wiley-Blackwell:

<http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/toc/1405183926/ref=dp_toc?ie=UTF8&n=2662
39>

>From the publisher's blurb:
Global Media Ethics  is the first comprehensive cross?cultural exploration
of the conceptual and practical issues facing media ethics in a global
world. A team of leading journalism experts investigate the impact of major
global trends on responsible journalism.   The first full?length, truly
global textbook on media ethics   Explores how current global changes in
media promote and inhibit responsible journalism  Includes relevant and
timely ethical discussions based on major trends in journalism and global
media  Questions existing frameworks in Media Ethics in light of the impact
of global media  Contributors are leading experts in global journalism and
communication.

(In the name of full disclosure: yes, I have a chapter in there, on "Global
Media Ethics? Issues, Requirements, Challenges, Resolutions".)

The book will be of interest to those wanting to take up media ethics,
including the various shifts brought about by "citizen journalism" as
afforded by networked digital media; further, the collection is indeed
exceptional for its inclusion of voices and perspectives not always
represented in English-language work of this sort.

Enjoy!

Call for Papers (w/ apologies for cross-listing)

Surveillance and the Mediation of Big Data

4S session(s) organized by Torin Monahan and Anders Albrechtslund

4S Annual Meeting (http://www.4sonline.org/meeting)
San Diego, CA
October 9 - 12, 2013

The ?big data? paradigm signals an intensification and distribution of algorithmic surveillance across multiple organizational and geographical scales. More than an exponential advancement in storage and processing capacity, big data currently operates as a fluid metaphor for the potential of data analytics to intelligently predict and respond to the needs of individuals and institutions. Clearly STS inquiry could fruitfully deconstruct the technological deterministic slant of discourses surrounding big data so that attention could be drawn to the values being inscribed in algorithms, the profound materiality of cloud computing, the control dimensions of pervasive software, and the active cultivation of new subjectivities as people come to understand themselves through their data doubles. Surveillance is key to these processes, as the capture and processing of data is frequently oriented toward some form of intervention or control. Rather than viewing surveillance through big data as completely automated or neutral processes, this panel seeks to investigate the many forms of mediation and politics inherent in big-data applications.

Possible areas of inquiry might include:
?      Data fusion, profiling, and prediction by security organizations.
?      The crafting of new subjectivities as individuals embrace ?quantified self? movements.
?      The social and political effects of ?filter bubbles? erected by various search platforms.
?      Gamification of interaction with customers and clients as public and private organizations seek to capitalize on (and control) user involvement.
?      Activist and civil-society harnessing of data repositories and sensing devices to achieve progressive outcomes.
?      The optimization of urban infrastructures through ?smart? information technologies.
?      Health technologies used for documentation, analyses, predictions and recommendations.

Subject: [Air-L] Mixed methods Internet research
Message-ID: <007401ce1a71$919830e0$b4c892a0$@hine@btinternet.com>

I'm currently writing a review article on mixed methods Internet research,
and I'd really appreciate suggestions I might have overlooked of examples
where researchers combine qualitative and quantitative methods, or
large-scale and small-scale research designs in understanding Internet
phenomenon. I'm looking, for example, for instances where researchers
combine analysis of log file data, or twitter traffic etc with an in-depth
ethnographic or interview-based study. I'm also interested in mixed mode
studies, which combine online and offline research or use both born-digital
data and studies rooted in offline settings to answer a single research
question. Any suggestions gratefully received - I'm happy to take replies
offlist and then share the outcomes with the list.

 

Best wishes,

 

Christine

Hello all,

An important clarification I was recently asked about, so I thought I would
share with you.

The paper for the proceeding is NOT due at the time of submission for the
call for proposals.  Presentations at the conference will be reviewed by
the Journal of Emerging Learning Design Editorial Board and invitations to
appear in the proceedings will be issued not long afterward.  Papers for
accepted invitations would be due late summer/early fall 2013 and the
proceedings issue of the ELDJ will be published in early 2014. For
questions or details please email eldj at mail.montclair.edu <
eldj at mail.montclair.edu>.

I know many of you are doing things that are worth showcasing.  I hope
you'll consider submitting something and, even if you do not, please do
consider joining us in June.  At $75, including meals, this is the best
deal around.

best,
aj

Call for Papers: Media, Religion and In/vulnerability 

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

Abstract Deadline: April 8 2013

The Mediating Religion Network (http://www.mediatingreligion.org/) aims to contribute several sessions to 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". We believe that scholars of religion and media can make a valuable contribution to academic discussion of this important theme. 

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 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.

Specific topics could include: 

- Migration, Diaspora and Identities: What kinds of vulnerabilities are religious groups exposed to as a result of migration and living in diaspora? How are media used to strengthen or to weaken diasporic religious identities, networks and practices? How are narratives of blame or trust, prejudice or persecution directed at religious and non-religious groups represented, promoted or contested?

- Transitions across media and public spaces: What kinds of in/vulnerabilities do religious groups experience as they embark on transitions from occupying (often marginalised) diasporic public spheres/spaces into more mainstream public spheres? How do religious ideas and organisations make the transition into the public spotlight following blameworthy allegations of fundamentalism, corruption, sexual abuse and how does this alter understandings or involve risks? Are some religious groups more invulnerable than others in these transitions, and if so, what kind of social and cultural capital is involved in tackling blame and establishing trust? 

- Authority and Power: How do print, electronic and digital media strengthen or undermine religious structures of control? How are threats, risks and dangers associated with religion represented and mediated? Who/what is represented as blameworthy or trustworthy?

- Knowledge and Memory: How do religious communities use media to (re)construct their past and future and address issues of risk, blame and trust? How are media used religiously in times of conflict, death and disaster? How do religious and non-religious media reinforce or contest ?orthodox? religious knowledge? What forms of experimental knowledge are mobilised by religious groups?

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. Please feel free to contact Tim or marie.gillespie at open.ac.uk to discuss paper proposals.

Message-ID: <CANQKn824Xh05T=SSOOkvXYfoejqjLwTun_miNnNoriD2UCR4TQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all, I need your help/advice. I'm working with an organization to
gauge how users/audiences are using its suite of social media applications
(facebook, twitter, wordpress, etc.), I'm looking for a scale or instrument
that measures consumption patterns like: how often they're following the
social media, if they're even aware of the social media presence, what
they're most interested in from the social media for this organization, and
how they're reacting/responding to the organization's presence/messages on
social media.

Essentially: something to capture lay users' reception of an organization's
social media. If you have any suggestions, please email me at
rmitra at purdue.edu. Thanks, in advance!

Subject: [Air-L] Interoperability issues in "Big Data"?
Message-ID: <513897F4.4030707@izew.uni-tuebingen.de>

Dear list,

I am a political scientist involved in security studies. Recently, I 
have become increasingly interested in the application of algorithmic 
data mining in security operations. Although, from conversations with 
practicioners, I get the feeling that the promise of Big Data as a 
powerful tool for security governance might be rather a desire than 
something that is actually happening.

Public authorities seem to experience a number of problems in terms of 
data sharing, thus thwarting the creation of security-related Big Data 
warehouses in the first place. Since my disciplinary background does not 
exactly enable me to assess these issues, my question would be: could 
anyone provide some hints at good literature that deals with 
interoperability problems of databases (in a way that someone from 
outside the IT community can follow)?

Best wishes and thanks in advance,
Matthias

Dear Colleagues,

Sorry for cross-posting! I just wanted to announce the publication of my new book.

De-convergence of Global Media Industries (2013, Routledge)
Dal Yong Jin (Simon Fraser University) 

http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415623438/

Please see below for a short description and table of contents.

Description

Convergence has become a buzzword, referring on the one hand to the integration between computers, television, and mobile devices or between print, broadcast, and online media and on the other hand, the ownership of multiple content or distribution channels in media and communications. Yet while convergence among communications companies has been the major trend in the neoliberal era, the splintering of companies, de-convergence, is now gaining momentum in the communications market.

As the first comprehensive attempt to analyze the wave of de-convergence of the global media system in the context of globalization, this book makes sense of those transitions by looking at global trends and how global media firms have changed and developed their business paradigm from convergence to de-convergence. It traces the complex relationship between media industries, culture, and globalization by exploring it in a transitional yet contextually grounded framework, employing a political economic analysis integrating empirical data analysis.

Table of Contents

1.      Introduction 
Part 1: Convergence of the Global Media Industry 
2.      Media Convergence of the Global Media Industry
3.      Transformation of the Broadcasting Industry

Hey Matthias-

This is not exactly what you are looking for, but there was a decent writeup of a case study from a new big data book in Slate:
http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/03/big_data_excerpt_how_mike_flowers_revolutionized_new_york_s_building_inspections.html

I don't really think it's about big data, I think it is more about disparate data sources and the failure of interoperability (until people in the case study came along, that is, but it's also about understanding your data), which is what you are asking about. I wouldn't think the book is very technical about it, and although there are technical issues there are probably also human-side issues, such as I am sure the different departments don't have the time to hang out with each other, share info, and when they built their own databases they were probably all offshoots of the pre-computer paper-based (or whatever) data methods each department already had.

I guess I am saying you are not actually asking about database interoperability, which is really just a basic computing issue and not really that hard in theory. What you are asking about is a slew of human, social, political, funding, etc., issues. It's socio-technical systems (STS).

-Nat.

JVWR workshop ICIS 2013 (Milan, Italy, December 15) and CFP for "Virtual
Worlds - Meta Analysis" Issue

Motivation and Scope

The first thematic issue of our 7th year (next year) will focus on meta
analysis of virtual worlds. The issue will connect with JVWR workshop in
Milan, Italy on December 15th, 2013 (as part of AIS ICIS 2013
http://icis2013.aisnet.org/<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=b6ed964e3e&e=790f62627f>
).

For this issue, ?meta-analysis? means a particular review of corpus of
knowledge about an aspect of virtual worlds. It can be a classic literature
review, or a more formal statistical meta analysis (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-analysis<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=65e40019ee&e=790f62627f>).
Alternatively, we are open to other forms suggested by authors.

*Thus, we are looking for:*

* ...*Feedback *re potential areas to analyze and summarize (will be listed
in the updated CFP).
* ...*Authors* that take a summative approach to a particular area of
virtual worlds.
* ...*Editors* who will join the Managing editor in leading this unique
issue.

Send email to *info AT jvwresearch DOT org*.

We have initial submissions in the areas of:
* Collaboration
* Medicine
* Learning
* Art

*Possible topics include, but are not limited to:*

* Measuring virtual worlds
* Defense related virtual worlds
* Relations and virtual worlds
* Virtual Worlds and mobile
* Music and virtual worlds
* Virtual Worlds for Sales
* Virtual worlds and the web
* Embedding virtual worlds
* and more...

Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit original scholarly papers of up to 7500 words
including footnotes, references, and appendices. Interested authors should
submit a two-page extended abstract by the deadline indicated below. All
submissions (abstracts and papers) should be made via the JVWR publishing
system (see www.jvwresearch.org > About JVWR > For Authors). All
submissions will be reviewed under our double open policy
http://jvwresearch.org/index.php/2011-07-30-02-51-41/for-authors<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=1fb79d7031&e=790f62627f>

Subject: [Air-L] Update on simple historical Twitter hashtag searches
Message-ID: <BAY163-W646692180EBF6E6D93372695E60@phx.gbl>




Dear Air-L,



I thought I should follow up with a small but perhaps not so insignificant
update on my query to the list from January (see below) where I outlined my
difficulties in accessing 'historical'
Twitter data, specifically a simple search of all tweets using a specific
hashtag over around a two year period.

 

Without getting too
prematurely excited, it does seem that Twitter has listened to complaints that
this rather basic search functionality should be provided to general users, not
just big data analysis companies. Today when I searched for a specific hashtag
in the ?discover? tab, I noticed that a user can indeed now go back (apparently)
indefinitely and read all tweets using a particular hashtag.



Very best,

Scott

Message-ID: <CANT2WrOBaA-MJ-9+XW34_192=md_N+EOVuaUHVYMv4P0u9p9=Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks:

I got the following request from a colleague and all I could come up with
was a few posts on Google Plus. If you can think of any references for my
friend's students can you please email me off-list? If there is call, I
will post whatever bibliography I come up with.
----------
I have an undergraduate student who is studying Seapunk, and I'm wondering
if you have any good suggestions for texts or articles addressing
fringe/edge contemporary genres almost exclusively linked to social media.
 I'm finding a handful of sources, but quite a few of them are uneven or
more dated than I'd hoped.  Any pointers you might have would be welcome!
------------------------


Thanks much!

Meryl

Hmm, just tested the search API with an old hashtag and it looks like 
it's still only trawling up to a week back in time. Maybe Twitter hasn't 
rolled out historical access to the API yet, or maybe I'm just 
#doinitwrong. ~DEEN

It's working for me on a bunch of different hashes. Make sure you're searching from the discover tab and you select "Tweets: all" at the top of the list (rather than "top").

It only loads one screen, so you have to continually scroll to load more (a limiting factor, imho). More bad news: does not work in Tweetdeck and not easily exportable.

tnx,
kc

Subject: [Air-L] Update on simple historical Twitter hashtag searches

I would bet it's the former - precisely to improve the search experience for (web) users while keeping the choke on API-enabled data access and storage?

By the way:

I note that search in the official iOS app doesn't have the "all" search results function, which is very far from ideal in many circumstances. For example, in a crisis situation there are times when I might want to view all tweets for a search (a location name for example) not just all the popular or socially "relevant" tweets.

Subject: [Air-L] approval of the new AOIR ethics document
Message-ID: <CAFcFmG1Ck0JWeX9+44DupTT6ps7AdqujGNEnkYR16Yq5xCoo-g@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends,



 **

Ethical Decision-Making and Internet Research:

Recommendations from the AoIR Ethics Working Committee (Version 2.0)

**

It is with great pleasure we announce that the 2012 AOIR Ethics guidelines
document was approved by an overwhelming majority of the general membership
of the Association of Internet Researchers and is finally available online.



You can find the 2012 document at http://aoir.org/documents/ethics-guide/,
along with a link to the wiki, where we?re starting to build a compendium
of resources that we hope will continue to grow. http://ethics.aoir.org/



This 2012 document does not replace the 2002 guidelines, but lives
alongside and builds from it.  We hope both documents continue to provide a
useful resource for researchers, students, academic institutions, and
regulatory bodies.



The 2012 document reflects nearly four years of collaborative effort of the
ethics working committee.  As with the first document, we believe it
represents the diversity of the general membership, but is by no means the
final word.  The ethics working committee will continue to explore and
debate how new experiences, issues and insights affiliated with Internet
research evoke ethical challenges and demand ethically justifiable
resolutions.



We want to say thanks to the many AOIR members who contributed in a variety
of ways to the document, especially our fellow members of the 2002-2012
ethics working committee.



Thanks to:



Maria Bakardjeiva, (Canada),

Andrea Baker (USA),

David Brake (UK),

Charles Ess (Norway)

Radhika Gajjala (USA)

Camilla Gronholm (Finland)

Jeremy Hunsinger (Canada)

(hint hint), please don?t hesitate to email us,

Hello Meryl,

I don't have academic work in mind regarding this, but you can look for
music critics such as Adam Harper (
http://dummymag.com/features/2012/07/12/adam-harper-vaporwave/),  There
have been some quite general commentary about seapunk, I found this one in
my research history :
http://flavorwire.com/346153/do-seapunks-have-a-right-to-be-pissed-at-rihanna
.

Also this New Yorker article on Harlem Shake has been raising the point of
internet-centric aesthetics  :
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/sashafrerejones/2013/02/shake-what-your-internet-friend-gave-you.html#ixzz2LiZ2yrLo
.

Also, there are the old "month in : genre" columns on Pitchfork (
http://pitchfork.com/search/?query=month+in&min_year=1999&max_year=2008)
and I have a Tim Finney article on the short path of "UK Funky" if that
might be of some interest. We published the article in french for the music
review I handle, Audimat, but I can look for the original english file in
my files.

I hope this helps. Keep me informed with what you find, as this is a topic
of interest for me. In fact I have been reflecting on my own master thesis,
a few years ago, about the dynamics of music genres using the work on
litterature of Gerard Genette and Jean-Marie Schaeffer, among others.

Best,

Guillaume

Subject: [Air-L] youth and online recruitment and interviews
Message-ID: <2EDB7357-EB39-44D3-A07C-A3F898953470@uoregon.edu>

Hi all, 
I am looking for resources and advice on recruitment and research with youth in online spaces. I am hoping to talk to 13-17 year old LGBTQ youth about their experiences with anti-bullying outreach efforts. I'm hoping to carry out interviews through Facebook chat, Google chat and email. I recognize that getting this study approved by the IRB at my institution will be quite the challenge. 

Does anyone have any suggestions or models for navigating this process? Getting parental consent won't work for this project, so I'm looking for ways to address issues of anonymity, etc. 

I would greatly appreciate it!

All the best,

Erica,

This is an important topic and your study could make a real
contribution. But...I know that my institution's IRB would not approve
the study as you have described it. If you are interviewing youth
under 18, parents must consent. I am curious about why you think
parents would not give consent? Personally, I think parents want to
protect their kids from bullying and their perspectives might be an
interesting complement to the youth interviews and add more depth to
your study.

A suggestion: you might want to stick with one social media site, to
simplify your process. You will also need to make sure that your study
does not violate the user parameters of the community-- for recruiting
or for collecting data..

This site may be of interest: http://www.ncjj.org/irb/index.asp

Also, you might find chapters in Cases in Online Interview Research
(2012) of interest.
- Chapter 3. Case: Stranger in a Strange Land: The Challenges and
Benefits of Online Interviews in the Social Networking Space Allison
Deegan
Allison discusses issues and challenges of a study that involved
interviews conducted in Facebook using chat, with young (but over age
18) participants.

- Chapter 4. Case: Interviewing in Virtual Worlds: An Application of
Best Practices	Jonathan Cabiria
Jon was able to convince his IRB to allow (adult) participants'
avatars to "sign" the informed consent, in a study about LGBT
experiences in virtual worlds as compared to "real" worlds. He offers
his insights into finer points of protection of digital
representations of human subjects.

(The book is on Amazon, print or Kindle, as well as other booksellers.)

I'f be happy to chat with you if you want to contact me off list.

All the best,

Hi Erica,

I was just reading a very interesting special issue of Qualitative Inquiry
on ethics and research practice (2007, april:
http://qix.sagepub.com/content/13/3.toc ).  You might find some useful
concepts/cases/resources to draw on, as your research seems more related to
interviews, youth, and sensitive (LGBT) topics than internet research, per
se (the internet seems only the venue for interviews, as you describe it,
although I may be missing something)

I also recently ran across a very good article in Qualitative Social work:
'Becoming Participant:' Problematizing 'informed consent' in participatory
research with young people in care.   http://qsw.sagepub.com/content/7/4/427
The authors engage in some very refined discussions of the slippery and
problematic notion of 'informed consent.'   The research design
(participatory action design) is also particularly interesting (and very
well done, from what I read into this depiction of it anyway), which might
be of interest to you, in helping to construct a model for how to engage
with the youth you're interested in studying.   These researchers found the
IRB to be a good collaborator (not adversarial, as we mostly hear about) in
helping them determine a good methodology for working with youth.

There are researchers who have made compelling (and persuasive) arguments
to ethics research board committees about the importance of waiving
parental (or documented) informed consent, particuarly for target
populations who need to be studied but who would be potentially harmed if
their parents knew about their behaviors or if their signed/documented
consent was the only link between their personally identifiable information
and the interview data. For example, Kathryn Daley, a doctoral student at
RMIT, writes a great review of her situation in working with her ethics
review boards/university to get approval and supportive mentorship for her
study of youth and illicit drug use.
http://www.academia.edu/1026262/The_ethics_of_doing_research_with_young_drug_users

The challenge is not just to "navigate" the IRB or ethics approval process,
but to create a solid research design, which will improve your chances of
having an ethics board help you figure out how to accomplish your goals,
even though these might not fit the typical scenario.  There is a lot of
precedent for working with youth without gaining informed consent.  There's
also precedent for waiving parental consent or documentation of informed
consent.

I also recommend Raymond Lee's (1993, Sage) Doing Reserach on Sensitive
Topics, which addresses many issues you might confront in your research.

Cheers,

Annette

Hi all,
I am looking for resources and advice on recruitment and research with youth in online spaces. I am hoping to talk to 13-17 year old LGBTQ youth about their experiences with anti-bullying outreach efforts. I'm hoping to carry out interviews through Facebook chat, Google chat and email. I recognize that getting this study approved by the IRB at my institution will be quite the challenge. 

Does anyone have any suggestions or models for navigating this process? Getting parental consent won't work for this project, so I'm looking for ways to address issues of anonymity, etc. 

I would greatly appreciate it!

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 coined<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/MoreIntro>
 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? Is the baseline still the offline,
or are findings to be grounded in 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
Natalia Sanchez 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>
.

Apart from the Summer Schools, the other opportunity for training and
organized workshops (as well as presenting a paper from a project that you
worked on during the Summer School) is the Winter School. The Digital
Methods Winter School 2013 was concerned with the data sprint and the book
sprint <https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2013> (and other
short-form method). The 2012 Winter School was dedicated to "Interfaces for
the Cloud <https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2012>" and API
critique, where Metahaven, the critical Dutch design group, presented their
work that actually renders the politics of the cloud. See Daniel van der
Velden's article<http://www.e-flux.com/journal/captives-of-the-cloud-part-i/>
 (including part
II<http://www.e-flux.com/journal/captives-of-the-cloud-part-iI/>).
The Winter School 2013 was dedicated to short-form
method<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2013>
 and the book sprint. We share the book sprint expert, Adam Hyde, with his
talk recorded, available online <http://data.booksprints.net/vid/>.

We look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam in the Summertime!

*The global governance of the Internet:*

*Intergovernmentalism, multistakeholderism and networks*

* *

*International workshop *

*Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 May 2013*



*A **GigaNet* <http://giga-net.org/>* workshop, organized in cooperation
with the **Programme for the Study of International
Governance*<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>
* at the **Graduate Institute of International and Development
Studies*<http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

* *

*Call for memos*



The unprecedented growth and the fast development of the Internet have
prompted new forms of interaction and collective action, generating a
series of institutional changes, innovations and challenges. Following the
WCIT conference in Dubai, more and more questions have been raised
regarding the role and relevance of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance. In parallel to the policy discussions on the issue,
this two-day workshop proposes a series of scholarly debates on the role of
intergovernmental organizations in Internet governance and on the promises
and limitations of multistakeholderism. The workshop builds on the
proximity to ITU's World Technology Policy Forum and the Multistakeholder
Advisory Group (MAG) consultations for the 2013 Internet Governance Forum
(IGF) and aims to review current research on global Internet policy-making.

We invite five-page long memos that address the role and future of
different models of governance of the Internet, presenting recently
completed research or work in progress. Papers from any discipline or
institution, from emerging as well as established scholars, are
encouraged. Key questions to be addressed include, but are not limited
to, the
following:

?         What are the long-term implications of the failure of the WCIT?
Is talk of an Internet ?Cold War? relevant, or misleading?

?         How can we assess the role of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance?

?         How can cooperation between intergovernmental organizations and
NGOs be structured?

?         What are the potential and limitations of multistakeholder models
of governance?

?         What role do non-hierarchical networks currently play in global
Internet governance, and should that role be increased or diminished?

?         What is the relevance of sovereignty and jurisdiction when the
Internet creates cross-border harm?



Extended abstracts of approximately 800 words can be submitted through the Easy
Chair website<https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=giganetgeneva2013>
*.** **It is expected that participants prepare 5 to 7-page long **memos **that
will be circulated in advance and a 15-minute presentation on the day of
the workshop.*



*IMPORTANT DATES*

Deadline for extended abstracts (of approx. 800 words) submission: *March
18, 2013*.

Decisions will be made by March 25, 2013.

Memos expected by May 3, 2013.

Attendance at the workshop is free and open to all interested parties.



The initial Program Committee includes:

Roxana Radu, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies

Jean-Marie Chenou, University of Lausanne

John Laprise, Program Committee Chair, GigaNet

Milton Mueller, Steering Committee Chair, GigaNet

Anne-Claire Jamart, Programme for the Study of International Governance,
The Graduate Institute



***

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network
<http://giga-net.org/>(GigaNet) is a scholarly community initiated in
spring 2006 in conjunction
with the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Its four principal objectives
are to: (1) support the establishment of a global network of scholars
specializing in Internet governance issues; (2) promote the development of
Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study, (3)
advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly
defined: and; (4) facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related
matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments,
international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).
Alongside the annual symposium preceding the IGF, five GigaNet regional
workshops have been so far held in Paris, France (2008), Brussels, Belgium
(2009), Seoul, So. Korea (2009), Montreal, Canada (2010), and Washington
D.C, U.S (2011).


 The Programme for the Study of International
Governance<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>provides
a forum for scholars of governance and international organizations
to interact with practitioners from the policy world in order to analyze
global governance arrangements across a variety of issues. Offering a
unique platform for innovative research and exchange, scholars engage with
people working at the United Nations in Geneva, in addition to the many
non-governmental actors working on aspects of public and private governance
in international Geneva. The Programme is based at the Graduate Institute
of International and Development Studies <http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

Subject: [Air-L] call for participants for AOIR panel - That was Then,
	This is Now
Message-ID: <513DF382.5080909@gmail.com>

We would like to have one or two more people on a panel for AOIR on
social change.

Please let me know if you would be interested in participating on the
following panel:

That was Then, This is Now

This panel begins with a thought exercise.Each panelist has chosen a 
classic text from their home discipline and asks: what would happen if 
the author of that text revisited that topic today, using tools, 
techniques, or perspectives shaped by recent innovations in information 
technology and/or the digital humanities?We are building on a question 
that one of our panelists, the historian of computing Nathan Ensmenger, 
asks in his article "The Digital Construction of Technology: Rethinking 
the History of Computers in Society," about Bruno Latour's ground 
breaking ethnography of scientific practice, Laboratory Life.If Latour 
were to revisit the Salk Institute, what would he make of the pervasive 
presence of computers, computer-based instruments, and computational 
metaphors?How would this change the ways in which he did his research, 
his interpretation of the role of (increasingly digital) inscription 
devices, or his conclusions about the ways in which social interaction 
shapes the formation of scientific knowledge?Each of our panelists will 
perform a similar thought experiment as a starting point for thinking 
about the historical transformations happening both to one's object of 
analysis and to the practice of scholarship in the Internet era.




Please keep in mind that abstracts are due March 13th.
Apologies for the short notice,
Ilana

I checked this with #nickcleggsfault - around three years old and the origin is known. It brought up a lot of tweets, back to the very day the meme started but not back to the very first use of the hashtag. Be wary if using it that it may not be gathering all of the tweets/may still have a time limit on how far back you can search.

Thanks for that Cassian, 

For the hashtags I'm looking at, I don't know the precise origin so have no way to know how compete the results from these search queries are. Now I know to be cautious. Slightly frustrating, of course. I'd like to exist in a Twitter world where 'show all' really means all.

Subject: [Air-L] Economic, Forum, and Network Data from Glitch,
 a casual Flash-based Freemium MMO
Message-ID: <CACqYdy-TvAcyJKmGOG9x7OPd6ZO6bD7reR9GaPr-OrQhQVA=Nw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

In October 2011, I began collecting economic data from the online game
Glitch using its API; I continued collecting up through its closure in
December 2012. Over the course of its short life the game maintained a
passionate user base and made several unconventional design choices.
(My interest was initially piqued because the quite casual game uses a
skill training method similar to that of EVE Online, a hardcore MMO.)
Having cleared it with Tiny Speck, I am releasing my data for download
by people interesting in studying Glitch and/or the behaviors of
virtual economies.

The data comprises:

 * A record of auctions from between November 17, 2011 and December 10, 2012.
 * A record of all sales via in-game storage display boxes from
between September 9, 2012, and December 9, 2012.
 * A scrape of the game's forums (raw HTML)
 * Digests of the forums
 * A network of explicit friendships between players
 * DyNetML networks generated from forum digests and friendship
networks. (DyNetML is an XML-based format that is used by the ORA
network analysis tool.)

I've also published a tech report describing the data and game in more
detail through the Institute of Software Research at Carnegie Mellon.
More details about all of this are available at
http://www.doeverythingforever.com/projects/the-glitch-dataset/

If you think that using this data can help further your research,
please download a copy and give the tech report a read.

Best,

pml

Call for Papers
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 47
Big Island, Hawaii, January 6-9, 2014

Minitrack: Crowdsourcing Content Production and Online Knowledge Repositories
Track: Digital and Social Media
As various forms of collaboration are enabled (and constrained) by the affordances available in social media, researchers are investigating a range of issues including: 1) the diverse ways in which people collaborate to create, manage, curate and manipulate online content and how these activities affect digital repositories; 2) how those who manage these repositories are responding to the dynamics of online co-creation of content; 3) the dynamics of crowdsourced online collaborations and online communities of practice; and 4) the ways in which we can best describe the socio-technical interaction networks that facilitate and inhibit mass knowledge production.
In this mini track we are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues.  Papers of interest will examine communities of online knowledge repositories such as YouTube, Yahoo! Answers, Wikipedia, and others and may address in this context topics such as:
. The socio-technical dynamics of crowdsourcing and mass knowledge production sites
. Vandalism and trolling in online mass knowledge production sites
. Conflict and cooperation in content production sites
. Issues of gender in collaborative content production sites
. Global, cross-cultural and international aspects of content production and online intercultural collaborations in online content creation communities
. Managing ethics in online mass knowledge production communities
. Building, maintaining and ending social relationships on online repositories sites
. Social question answering and collaborative information seeking behaviors
. Challenges and opportunities of digital curation
. Standards and quality of digital content online

*Call for Papers*

Themed Issue of New Media and Society: ?10 years of Facebook?

Guest editors: Si?n Lincoln, Liverpool John Moores University, UK and Brady
Robards, Griffith University, Australia

In early 2014 Facebook will have been online for ten years. Over the past
ten years, Facebook has accumulated over a billion users globally, has
achieved an estimated market value of over $100 billion, and has
consistently been the most used social network site when compared to its
competitors to the point of ubiquity. For many, Facebook has transformed
the ways in which we communicate with each other in practically every
aspect of our lives. Facebook has also attracted harsh criticism from users
for its approach to privacy and transparency, and is regularly at odds with
governments and other institutions over regulation and control. Facebook
blurs traditional lines between what is private and what is public, while
often complicating social relations by naming them and making them visible.
The implications associated with the social network?s rise to dominance are
complex and sometimes challenging, from both the micro levels of the
individual through to the macro levels of society more broadly.

In this themed issue ?10 years of Facebook? we wish to explore the current
?state of play? with regards to the social, cultural and political
significance of Facebook. Our aim is to bring together current academic
debates surrounding this ubiquitous social network site to assess how,
after ten years in existence, Facebook has made its mark on contemporary
society as a space for social, cultural and political interactions. In
addition, we wish to explore new and emerging approaches to the study of
Facebook that interrogate the often complex relationships between the site,
its users and everyday contexts.

We welcome short 250 word abstracts that reflect on ?10 years of Facebook?,
taking stock of the impact the site has had on contemporary social life.
While attending to this broad aim, proposed articles will also need to
address a more specific theme. Potential themes include, but are not
limited to, the following:

   - Identity
   - Performance and representation
   - Youth cultures and subcultures
   - Privacy
   - Friendship
   - Relationships
   - Fandom
   - Age/ageing
   - Before life and after life
   - Political activism
   - Social movements
   - Regulation and control
   - Trolling

Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted to Si?n Lincoln (
s.lincoln at ljmu.ac.uk) by Wednesday 10th April 2013. On the basis of these
short abstracts, invitations to submit full papers (of no more than 8000
words) will then be sent out in late April. Full papers will be due by
August 31, and will undergo the usual New Media & Society peer review
procedure. Invitation to submit a full paper in no way guarantees
acceptance into the issue.

Subject: [Air-L] Social media & crime detection
Message-ID: <CANUt1T6oXBLYUmeSN75mb5wz=MqNBC9nDOsK+QGns2DFAjKEzQ@mail.gmail.com>

For my thesis I am studying social media use for crime detection and law
enforcement.

My aim is to investigate people?s perception of boundaries for social media
use by the police: Where should these boundaries lie according to the
public?

As mediating variables I am considering trust in the police and fear of
crime.



At the moment, I am building the theoretical framework of my thesis. As it
is a rather new field,

I would highly appreciate any recommendations for working papers or
literature about social media usage in the security sector.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Ok enough folks are asking...

So this was not my stipulation but I still think a pretty cool one. I 
suspect if you are guy out there writing your magnus opus on Kim Dotcom, 
which would be rather interesting :) they would gladly take your 
contribution. What Simon told me is that they have so many male 
contributors to the collection they are going out of their way to seek 
some female ones. Seems reasonable and hopefully they can find one but I 
pretty sure it is not set in stone.

I "get" giving a voice to a gender he's trampled.
I don't buy that the author's gender matters in doing that.

I don't want to get in the middle of this discussion :-)  but it reminded me of a loosely related topic that has been flowing through my email the last few days.  Contributors to the Internet Engineering Task Force discussion list <http://www.ietf.org/list/discussion.html> have been debating the need for "Diversity in IETF Leadership" and "Mentoring."  It seems to me that someone who could engage them on these issues - about which they seem to be earnest, if not terribly sophisticated - could make a significant and meaningful contribution to the IETF's policies and practices.

For the 2 threads on "Diversity in IETF Leadership" and "Mentoring," see 

https://www.ietf.org/ibin/c5i?mid=6&rid=48&gid=0&k1=933&k3=12158&tid=1363291991

One thing we're forgetting here: that this piece will be a part of an
exhibit whose artist is seeking a female scholar. I'm willing to bet
that the choice of a female scholar writing on Dotcom is an artistic
choice that may be complementing the ideas presented in the exhibit.
As much as we, scholars, have our understanding of issues, so do
artists, which may or may not align with ours. This should be
respected, I think... Or, I'm highly theorizing and giving the artist
the benefit of doubt... Either way, I don't see this request as
sexist, offensive, or uninformed.

Having gender as a selection criteria is sexist, by definition.
Presuming that only women can defend women is offensive, to both genders.

Subject: [Air-L] Call for Conference Locations

Please share widely...

Call for Proposals to Host the Internet Research (IR) conferences in 2015 and 2016.

The Executive Committee of the Association of Internet Researchers is seeking statements of interest for hosting the annual meeting of the Association in October of 2015 and 2016. The Internet Research conference draws an international group of researchers and practitioners to present and discuss work at the cutting edge in understanding the social and cultural aspects of the internet. Organizations or consortia who may be interested in hosting the conference should contact Lori Kendall at vp (at) aoir.org.

We will provide a guide to a full proposal for those invited to apply. At this stage, we seek an indication of interest and intent. We are most likely to entertain applications for North American locations for 2015 and elsewhere for 2016, but all strong proposals are welcome.

Hosting AoIR provides visibility to your institution and city from researchers from around the world, drawing a group of well-known scholars to your city during the period of the conference and providing lasting connections. Geography still matters in an internet age, and hosting Internet Research represents one way of locating important centers of innovation in social computing.

The most recent conference was held in Salford, UK and the upcoming conferences will be held in Denver, USA and Bangkok, Thailand. (See the full list of locations at http://aoir.org/conferences/past/.) We generally seek hosting cities that are reasonably accessible by international visitors, and provide a range of lodging, dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within reasonable proximity of the venue.

The venue should provide a central hall and breakout meeting rooms for a minimum of 400 attendees, as well as the necessary infrastructure for presentations and high-speed wireless internet access. There are generally 7-8 concurrent presentation rooms over a period of 3 days, plus a day of 3-6 preconferences. The conference generally provides some form of onsite refreshments during the day (snacks, coffee, and in many cases lunch), as well as a banquet and receptions.

The Association generally handles registration, and will (with the aid of a program chair) provide assistance with the infrastructure for the peer review and the publication of selected papers. Officers of AoIR serve on the organizing committee and are involved closely with the planning and execution of the conference. The local hosts are responsible for coordinating all on-site arrangements, contracts, transportation, arrangements with local hotels or other lodging, technology, supporting staff for the event. The hosts should be willing and able to mobilize local support for the conference, including volunteers, fund-raising, and cost-sharing.

At this time, we are seeking brief letters of interest. For those sites the Executive Committee feels are suitable for the upcoming conference, we will provide organizers with instructions for a full proposal, and are happy to work with them to provide a strong proposal. At this time, please provide some indication of what you could offer in terms of hosting. In particular:

1. Who makes up your group, who the proposed local chair would be, and your connection to internet research and AoIR.

2. Information about the venue, including recent conferences held there. We have, in the past, held AoIR in hotels and conference centers, as well as university and research campuses. Please give some indication of the layout of the facility and its proximity to lodging and dining (including less expensive options), as well as to its suitability for a conference like Internet Research.

3. Proposed dates. IR is generally held in early October, and usually over a Thursday-Saturday, with pre-conferences on a Wednesday, though there is some flexibility. It is helpful if we are able to avoid conflicts with other major conferences of interest to attendees.

4. What makes your city and venue particularly attractive to the Internet Research community?


The committee will review letters of interest as they are submitted, through the end of July 2013.

Best,

Lori Kendall
(AoIR Vice President)

Someone please tell me why it is absurd or offensive or sexist to specifically be looking for a female writer?


What's the context?  Does the museum employ 20 people all of whom are male?  Do they want to diversify?  If so, what's the problem with that?

IMHO, it is not absurd or offensive or sexist if the context is
provided. It is, if the offer is context-less.

Hint: changing female with male helps to see it this way.

Dear all,

I am looking for studies of online public consultation processes, either 
in the context of e-democracy or in commercial contexts.

Furthermore, are you aware of free/open source systems for that purposes?

I will collect your answers and make them available to the list asap.

Thank you very much for your help!

Katja

PS: A short remark to my last question: I still owe the list a 
collection of replies to the question of the terminology origins and 
usage of "informatisation" and I am still working on this, since there 
has been opening up a whole universe of literature that I was not aware 
of.... (e.g. teleworking in the 1980s.....)...

Dear Scholars,

I am conducting research to understand how video games can be used for increasing information literacy. I needed advice from the community on three things. 

1) Any literature that explicitly discusses variables that need to be measured to access information literacy 
2) Variables and factors that can must be considered when measuring information literacy
3) Studies that actually implemented credible methods to access or measure information literacy gains? 
4) Or credible measures or methodologies to measure information literacy gains after an intervention such as engagement with video games.

Best
R

This isn't about hiring an employee; it's about paying for a single written
piece.

It isn't about diversifying a workforce; it's about reifying gender
differences.

If you don't see that selecting by gender is sexist, what could that word
possibly mean?

What if they were looking for a male writer?

-------  Call for Papers for RPTEL Special Issue -----------

Special Issue on Practical Applications of Mobile and Internet Educational Games
in
Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning
(http://www.apsce.net/RPTEL_CfP.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.

On the e-democracy side, there is Votorola.  It's only a prototype.
http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html

There are many others.  I plan to compile a list of those that include
a strong facility of voting, or opinion expression.  I'll post a link
in a week or two, in case it's helpful.

Subject: [Air-L] Secondary Publication is acceptable ?
Message-ID: <CAFKgRurkVVQ-j8L_kAqqhNZuGGrmhYcDKp=Gubj0X2E26=E8RA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I am looking for some international journals on the Internet or ICT
studies that is open to the secondary publication. I have a couple of
empirical papers already published in domestic academic journals in Korean
language 1-3 years ago. I am not sure if it is plausible and acceptable to
submit one of them in English version to an international journal.

According to the guidelines of some international journals, they say that
the secondary publication is acceptable provided that certain conditions
are met such as approval from the both journals, different audience,
aknowledgement,...etc(please refer to the guideline in the bottom).

I would like to know, however,it is acceptable in reality. I would
appreciate any information or experience with the secondary publication.

Many thanks,

James

Acceptable Secondary Publication

  *http://www.icmje.org/publishing_4overlap.html*<http://www.icmje.org/publishing_4overlap.html>

  Certain types of articles, such as guidelines produced by governmental
agencies and professional organizations, may need to reach the widest
possible audience. In such instances, editors sometimes deliberately
publish material that is also being published in other journals, with the
agreement of the authors and the editors of those journals. Secondary
publication for various other reasons, in the same or another language,
especially in other countries, is justifiable and can be beneficial
provided that the following conditions are met.

  1. The authors have received approval from the editors of both journals
(the editor concerned with secondary publication must have a photocopy,
reprint, or manuscript of the primary version).

  2. The priority of the primary publication is respected by a publication
interval of at least 1 week (unless specifically negotiated otherwise by
both editors).

  3. The paper for secondary publication is intended for a different group
of readers; an abbreviated version could be sufficient.

  4. The secondary version faithfully reflects the data and interpretations
of the primary version.

  5. The footnote on the title page of the secondary version informs
readers, peers, and documenting agencies that the paper has been published
in whole or in part and states the primary reference. A suitable footnote
might read: ?This article is based on a study first reported in the [title
of journal, with full reference].?

  Permission for such secondary publication should be free of charge.

  6. The title of the secondary publication should indicate that it is a
secondary publication (complete republication, abridged republication,
complete translation, or abridged translation) of a primary publication. Of
note, the NLM does not consider translations to be ?republications? and
does not cite or index translations when the original article was published
in a journal that is indexed in MEDLINE.

  7. Editors of journals that simultaneously publish in multiple languages
should understand that NLM indexes the primary language version. When the
full text of an article appears in more than one language in a journal
issue (such as Canadian journals with the article in both English and
French), both languages are indicated in the MEDLINE citation (for example,
Mercer K. The relentless challenge in health care. Healthc Manage Forum.
2008 Summer;21(2):4-5. English, French. No abstract available.
PMID:18795553.)

Apologies for cross-posting.

HICSS 2014: CFP Global Virtual Teams Mini-track

We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to the GVT mini-track for HICSS 2014 taking place at the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii from Jan. 6-9th, 2014.

Detailed information about the conference can be found here http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm and information for potential authors can be found here http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/47cfp.pdf

Due date for submission of full papers is: June 15, 2013

About Global Virtual Teams

Today many business processes, as well as government and scientific projects are executed by geographically dispersed virtual teams.  Team members often do not have the same first language, come from different national cultures, work in different time zones and may be employed in different organizations. These differences, among others, present unique opportunities for management and leadership. This mini-track invites papers that offer insights into the successful operation of global virtual teams.  Session topics include but are not limited to:


  *   Temporal separation and its effects on collaboration
  *   Cultural differences in perception of time
  *   Conflict resolution across cultures
  *   Project management styles and differences across cultures
  *   Differences in language understanding and its effects on collaboration
  *   Power distance and its effects on collaboration
  *   Uncertainty (risk) avoidance and its effects on collaboration
  *   Collaboration and communication tools
  *   Differences between academic and non-academic virtual teams
  *   Global virtual team case studies

Both academics and practitioners are encouraged to submit a paper.
We look forward to your submissions and the continued success of the HICSS GVT mini-track.

Mike, Derrick, and Frederick

Subject: [Air-L] 2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies Summer
 Institute - Call for Applications
Message-ID: <EF3F4EBE-B0C4-4E79-888F-BB57069816E2@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

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, and pre-tenure faculty ? 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 THE SUMMER INSTITUTE

Applications are encouraged from academic, industry, NGO, and public sector organizations worldwide.  Lodging, meals, and other onsite costs will be covered for all Summer Institute participants.  Limited funding is also available to offset travel costs if needed.  The number of participants will be determined by funding availability and the fit between applicants? interests and goals.
To be considered 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<mailto:bsbutler at umd.edu> by April 5th, 2013:

* Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty 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).

Applications will be reviewed by members of the Summer Institute Advisory Group (see http://casci.umd.edu/2013/03/dsst2013/ for a current list) 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

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS

Support for the 2013 Summer Institute is currently being provided by the National Science Foundation via Digital Societies and Technology Research Coordination Network, the Consortium for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST), Summer Social Webshop, and the Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) and Human Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL) at the University of Maryland.

Subject: [Air-L] Systematic review of evaluated cyberbullying prevention
 programs aimed at young people
Message-ID: <E979AACCA65E3A49BDE9C303BEDC527E01393DD040@xmail31.ad.ua.ac.be>

Dear colleagues,

We are currently conducting a systematic review of evaluated cyberbullying prevention programs aimed at young people (age 6-18). We are aware that there are cyberbullying prevention programs that have been evaluated, but have not been reported on (yet) in academic journals or other reports that are easily traceable online. Therefore, if you are or were involved in the creation or evaluation of such a program, please contact us. Please also contact us in case a report was only published in your mother language.
Our review will consist of two phases; a broad mapping stage and an in-depth review stage with meta-analysis (if enough studies fit our inclusion criteria for this stage). For the first stage, we are looking or all types of cyberbullying prevention programs aimed at young people that were evaluated quantitatively or qualitatively. This could be cyberbullying prevention programs, but also traditional bullying programs to which a component on cyberbullying was added, or traditional bullying programs that have also included outcome measures on cyberbullying, or internet safety programs that contain a component on cyberbullying...

We would be pleased if you could answer within the next two weeks. Feel free to contact us in case you have questions about the research design.
Thank you in advance

Internet is a surveillance state. Whether we admit it to ourselves or not,
and whether we like it or not, we're being tracked all the time. Google
tracks us, both on its pages and on other pages it has access to. Facebook
does the same; it even tracks non-Facebook users. Apple tracks us on our
iPhones and iPads. One reporter used a tool called Collusion to track who
was tracking him; 105 companies tracked his Internet use during one 36-hour
period. (CNN, 3/16)

March 12, World Day Against Cyber-Censorship, Reporters Without Borders is
releasing a Special report on Internet surveillance, available at
surveillance.rsf.org/en. It looks at the way governments are increasingly
using technology that monitors online activity and intercepts electronic
communication in order to arrest journalists, citizen-journalists and
dissidents. Around 180 netizens worldwide are currently in prison for
providing news and information online. (Reporters Without Borders, 3/15)

Researchers Find 25 Countries Using Surveillance Software

May, two security researchers volunteered to look at a few suspicious
e-mails sent to some Bahraini activists. Almost one year later, the two
have uncovered evidence that some 25 governments, many with questionable
records on human rights, may be using off-the-shelf surveillance software
to spy on their own citizens. Morgan Marquis-Boire, a security researcher
at Citizen Lab, at the University of Toronto?s Munk School of Global
Affairs, and Bill Marczak, a computer science doctoral student at the
University of California, Berkeley, found that the e-mails contained
surveillance software that could grab images off computer screens, record
Skype chats, turn on cameras and microphones and log keystrokes. (The New
York Times, 3/13)

Gathering Clouds Over Digital Freedom?

to digital freedom are growing just as the number of people accessing the
internet is taking off, with millions more likely to join the digital world
through mobiles and smartphones in the coming years. The range of
challenges is wide: from state censorship, including firewalls and the
imposition of network or country-wide filters, to increasing numbers of
takedown requests from governments, companies and individuals, corporate
hoovering up of private data, growing surveillance of electronic
communications, and criminalisation of speech on social media. (Open

can certainly see the Great Firewall of China in action anywhere in the
country. With the largest population of web users in the world, China also
has one of the most restricted internets, with a host of measures employed
to make sure that netizens cannot read about sensitive issues nor
themselves post - or at least for very long - information the government
deems threatening. (Open Democracy, 3/15)

North Koreans can?t access the Internet, and only foreigners can use the
country?s brand-new 3G cellular network. But the country has still
developed its own rudimentary social network ? which you can now see for
yourself, thanks to a SXSW panel the Associated Press?s Jean Lee gave this
weekend. Lee shared this screenshot from the unnamed social network, which
is more of an intranet bulletin board and is used largely to post birthday
messages, especially among university students and professors.(The

more than a year in pre-trial detention, five independent bloggers amid
other activists stood in a Vietnamese court for two days in January to hear
they would live behind bars for up to 13 more years. They join a growing
cohort of bloggers imprisoned for "activities aimed at overthrowing the
people's administration," "undermining of national unity" and committing
"propaganda against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam." Vietnamese bloggers
tasted internet freedom over the last decade as online access grew, but
social media is no game changer in a paranoid state. (The Atlantic, 3/11) *More

collection of illegal virtual private networks, or VPNs, was successfully
closed off by the ministry, making visits to Web sites deemed immoral or
politically dangerous ? like Facebook and Whitehouse.gov ? nearly
impossible. Popular mobile applications like Viber, for free phone calls,

Fights, Adapts, Accepts: Archetypes Of Iranian Internet Use

narrowing space for dissent and free exchange of ideas in the Iranian
public sphere and in public space has been one of the driving forces behind
Iranians? use of cyberspace as a mechanism for expression. The Internet is
one of the few remaining platforms where Iranians can practice some level
of open debate, less susceptible to social and political limitations.
Research on Internet use in Iran sheds light on a large online community
engaged in a diversity of activities and expanding at a significant pace.
This study seeks to complement standard online research techniques by
providing a richer picture of Iranian Internet users.

Xi Jinping takes office as president of China, the citizenry he governs is
more sophisticated and interconnected than any before, largely because of
the Internet. A complex digital censorship system--combined with a more
traditional approach to media control, such as jailing journalists--keeps
free expression in check. Repressive regimes worldwide look to China as a
model, but Beijing's system of control is increasingly endangered.

Social Media
The fourth international
transforming audiences conference
making connections | creative cultures | open everything

Date: 2 ? 3 September 2013
Venue: University of Westminster, 35 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LS

The previous Transforming Audiences conferences, in 2007, 2009 and 2011, have seen this event become Europe?s major international conference series for audience/user studies, bringing together researchers from all over the world. Now we are delighted to invite you to Social Media, the fourth in the Transforming Audiences series, in central London in September 2013.

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the CFP for SIGDOC's 2013 Annual Conference! As the vice chair of SIGDOC and an AOIR member, I am especially interested in having greater representation from the AOIR community. Please consider joining us this year! 

SIGDOC 2013: Simplifying Complexity
http://sigdoc.acm.org/2013/
The ACM Special Interest Group on the Design of Communication (ACM SIGDOC) invites you to submit a project report, research paper, or poster session on the design of communication for  interactive systems in industry, education, recreation, scientific research, and social exchange. SIGDOC conferences address issues of interest to people in interaction design, content strategy, information architecture, user experience, and technical communication.

Ideas for topics
? How do you identify complexity in an interactive system and simplify it for the people who use it?
? How do you capture complexity in a domain and simplify people?s understanding of it?
? How do you simplify complex person-to-person interactions?
? How social media and new media (rss feeds, analytics, streaming, user-contributed content, mashups, wikis, and blogs) simplify or increase complexity, and social implications of using these media.
? Simplifying the design, development, and delivery of interactive instructional media, including content management, website development and use, e-instruction and e-learning, and technical communication.
? Using responsive design methods and tools to simplify multi-platform issues.
? User research in all of these areas.

Submission types
? Research and technical papers. These papers describe completed research projects, and include the questions that prompted the research, the investigative methods, the results, and ideas for future study. Typically, researchers in academia submit research and technical papers. You present your paper during a conference session, and publish the paper in the conference proceedings.
? Project reports. These papers describe work completed for a product release, and include the problem that prompted the project, the development methods, the results, and ideas for future work. Typically, people in industry submit project reports. You present your paper during a conference session, and publish the paper in the conference proceedings.
? Poster sessions. A poster session is a less formal presentation of work in progess, theories, experimental work, new concepts, late-breaking research results. You present your poster during an informal session.
? Workshops. These are half- or full-day tutorials on a practical topic of relevance to conference attendees.

Submission schedule
? May 15: Manuscripts are due.
? June 30: Acceptance notices go out. If your submission is accepted as-is, you can upload it for publication in the proceedings. Work begins on your conference presentation.
? July 20: If your submission was accepted pending revisions, the revisions are due.
? Aug 7: Your final date to upload your manuscript to Sheridan Printing for inclusion in the proceedings.

Questions? Please contact our conference chairs Michael Albers (albersm at ecu.edu) and Nina Wishbow (nina.wishbow at gmail.com).

Take care,
Liza Potts

CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON CREATIVITY AND ATTENTION IN THE AGE OF THE WEB
http://ac.aup.fr/croda/tclab/creativity&attentionWorkshop2013.html
AT ACM WEB SCIENCE 2013
PARIS, MAY 1 2013

OBJECTIVES

Many researchers have highlighted the connection between attention and creativity. The Web environment significantly affects the manner in which we allocate attention to information, tasks, and people.
This workshop addresses the question of what impact this has on creative pursuits. We look at creativity at many levels, from personal creativity (e.g. the different ways in which a student may solve a problem) to big-C creativity that generates new high impact findings. We concentrate on the effects that the Web environment has on on human attention and on all these types of creativity. In particular, we will focus on empirical/experimental as well as conceptual research connecting topics such as: new types of creativity enabled by the web; the influence of Web-based environments on human attention; cognitive offload and its consequences; group creativity; creativity outsourcing.

INTRODUCTION

We are living in the age defined by innovation driven economy. The ubiquity of the web in our lives (work and leisure time) forces us to reconsider our fundamental preconceptions regarding the creative and innovation processes. The complexity and the requirements of this new environment tell us that the age of the lone asocial romanticist genius is gone. Collaboration and collective creation is a must. Does the web facilitates these processes? And, if so,then in what way? What can we do to take advantage of what the web offers? How does it affect individuals? What are the consequences for education?

All these questions have prompted an unprecedented academic interest on creativity that is well represented by several academic meeting such as the International ACM Conference on Creativity and Cognition 2013 in Sydney, the AAAI 2013 Spring Symposium on Creativity and Cognitive Development in Stanford, the Mobile Learning and Creativity Workshop in Saarbr?cken (September 2012), and the Creative Web Symposium: Computational Creativity as a Web-Service in South Corea (December 2012). Our workshop, while aligning with the meetings above, aims at exploring more specific issues of creativity that are immediately related to the particular environment created by the Web.

Every new medium introduces new creative opportunities and shortens the path from the creator to the consumer: from the invention of writing, the printing process, photography, movies, to the radio and TV, the telephone, digital computer to the current era of hyper connectivity, always-on, instant messaging, instant content producing and sharing. Unprecedented amount of all humane knowledge becomes easily available for many and our expectations of others (individuals and institutions) in terms of reactivity, productivity and efficiency is raised. Some researchers believe that the more constraints we have to overcome, the easier it becomes to create. Would then democratization of access to information and cheap communication actually lessen creativity, or reduce it to trivial creations?
On the other hand, creative behaviour has been connected with breath of attention (e.g. Kasof 1997, Friedman et al. 2003) and in general, wide attention deployment and defocused attention are considered to lead to greater creativity. Several researchers share the view that creativity requires variations in the field of attention (Gabora 2007, Vartanian 2009) and some experimental results hint that distractions improve creativity (Baird et al. 2012; Gallate et al. 2012). Based on these considerations one could expect that forced changes in attention focus such as those generated by many Web 2.0 applications, may actually improve creativity. However, previous research also tells us of other related factors that may intervene with a possible negative effect. For example it has been observed that stress or arousal, generated for example by time pressure or evaluation apprehension, may reduce breadth of attention and therefore hinder creativity (Karau and Kelly 1992; Smith, Michael, and Hocevar 1990); that interruptions are more likely to hinder, rather than improve, creativity, and that different types of interruptions may have varying degree of impact on different creative activities (Roda et al. 2013).

CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

In this half-day workshop we invite researchers and practitioners for an exploration of the influence of the Web environment on human attention and creativity. We welcome short papers reporting empirical/experimental as well as conceptual research connecting topics such as:

New types of creativity enabled by the web
The influence of Web based environments on human attention
Cognitive offload and its consequences
Group creativity
Creativity outsourcing

We invite full papers (8 pages), short / position papers (2-4 pages), and/or demonstrations to be submitted to gstojanov at aup.edu<mailto:gstojanov at aup.edu> by March 21

Demonstrations should be available online and be accompanied by a short description (no more than 2 pages).

All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee.

We will pursue the possibility of publishing a selected number of papers in the special issue of a journal.

Subject: [Air-L] Co-Creating Knowledge Online ... theory snapshots for
 culture makers (free PDF)
Message-ID: <CAF_Y1Gq6DtH3BgWY-zDn4POgkRa6WmALB5VUBE22WKqbs_Umdg@mail.gmail.com>

*Co-Creating Knowledge Online* is the second booklet in a series of
Internet field guides I have developed for community artists and culture
makers. It is for those who are interested in better utilising the Internet
to connect, share, and make new knowledge.

It builds on the premise that people have become increasingly networked as
individuals rather than in groups, and that these new ways of connecting
enable new modes of peer-to-peer co-creation. It is an attempt to translate
my PhD research findings for community arts practitioners, and was inspired
by the practices of CuriousWorks <http://www.curiousworks.com.au>.

The booklet is available as a free
PDF<http://www.popomo.com/research/blog/?p=937>in beta, and is CC
licensed for re-purposing. I hope it's helpful!

Hi everyone,

As part of my internship with WMF I have created
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data - a single page introduction
to Wikimedia-related data sources. Its intended to inform researchers abou
the variety of Wikimedia data available.

The page can definitely benefit from some review from the actual users of
data. Please take a look and feel free to add or correct information. The
"How-to" and "Existing tools" subsections definitly could be expanded.
 Also, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data/FAQ is still quite
small and can definitely be improved.

My internship is over in a few days. I will still be around some but if you
see anything that can be improved please take the initiative and change it.
If you don't  feel comfortable doing it, write a note on the Talk page.

Finally, I would like to encourage you to share any Wikimedia-related
datasets you have or you know of, small or big, on
http://datahub.io/group/wikimedia. The aim is to eventually have all
Wikimedia-related data documented on the Wikimedia group on DataHub.

Regards,

Mariya

Hi all,

I've been looking into what's being done in Mexico to address the issue of
bullying, and am really alarmed to find that the cyberpolice (who are
working on human trafficking cases) have undertaken anti-bullying plans as
part of their agenda.

I am looking for sources that talk about the relationship (or lack thereof)
between bullying and the crimes that are in the field of work of the
cyberpolice ? namely human trafficking and kidnappings.

Thank you so much in advance,

CALL FOR PAPERS
  Theme section: Changing orders of knowledge? Encyclopaedias in transition

To appear in the peer-reviewed journal Culture Unbound: Journal of Current
Cultural Research

Guest editors: Jutta Haider & Olof Sundin, Department of Arts and Cultural
Sciences, Lund University, Sweden



We are witnessing a transition period for encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic
knowledge. Since the 1990s alone encyclopaedias have gone through several
remediations: from printed volumes to CD-ROM, from CD-ROM to on-line
editions on the web and most recently as smartphone applications. Nowadays
encyclopaedic knowledge is produced, distributed and used largely within
digital networks. Mobile devices make it always available, everywhere.
While understandably a lot has been said about Wikipedia and from almost
every angle, other contemporary encyclopaedias have not received that much
attention in research. Yet they are two sides of the same coin. This theme
section wants to contribute to changing the balance somewhat.



The modern encyclopaedia, with its roots in the enlightenment, has come to
symbolise learning and education. In the West it has since long been a
yardstick for what is accepted as public knowledge in a given time and
culture. It stands for trustworthiness and stability, at the same time as
it has always changed hand in hand with cultural and technical
developments. Most recently their production, consumption, use,
distribution and significance, all are undergoing profound changes. At the
same time as these changes contribute to re-structuring what encyclopaedias
and encyclopaedic knowledge are, this type of knowledge is more easily
accessible, more in demand and more often referred to than ever before.



For this theme section we invite authors to reflect upon the encounter,
productive or otherwise, between encyclopaedic knowledge formed by a
plethora of traditions and the constantly changing material conditions for
production, communication, use and circulation of knowledge. In particular
so-called traditional encyclopaedias in their contemporary digital
manifestations are in focus. While emphasis on relevant sociotechnical and
cultural aspects of the present is encouraged, there will be some room for
historical studies that focus on encyclopaedias in transition and for
studies on Wikipedia (and other new forms from social and cultural
perspectives of encyclopaedias and related phenomena)



Topics of interest might be, but are not limited to:

?      Everyday meaning of encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      Encyclopaedias in the classroom and other educational uses.

?      Economic aspects and the role of changed business-models.

?      Critical studies of encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      Globalisation of knowledge and the role of encyclopaedias.

?      Production of encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      Encyclopaedias as a yardstick for public knowledge.

?      Communication of encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      The situatedeness of encyclopaedias in the networked society.



We are also looking for relevant book reviews for this issue!



Please indicate your interest in contributing by submitting a title and
short abstract (approximately 500 words) before 1st April 2013. The
deadline for full papers is 1st of October 2013 and publication is planned

Yep, I'm sure many folks are involved/seeing discussions about this thing.  *headdesk*

I think it comes down to a belief by DC and many state governments that unless education or educational initiatives/research can be tied *directly* toward job creation in today's "hot new fields" it's a waste of time and funding. How much of that is a direct consequence of the national unemployment situation, I don't know.....or how much of it is shaped by political ideologies, for that matter. The cynic in me has all sorts of reasons why things like critical thinking, history, political science (ie, "how your nation is supposed to work") are being marginalised, but that's not an appropriate discussion for a lovely Friday afternoon.   /ducks

In my field (cybersecurity) I see a disturbing trend towards mixing 'technical training' with 'education' at the 4-year and graduate level with the goal of helping "develop the workforce" --- which often means getting people with technical SKILLS into places of vital employment.  Even government groups known for setting academic guidelines in this area are heading in that direction, too.  As a result, there is an ongoing discussion/debate over what constituties 'technical training' via professional certifications and the development of skills as a practitioner (generally offered in the non-credit realm) and more formal education (ie, for-credit, degree-seeking programs) that seek to produce well-rounded professionals who can advance in their careers over time.  

It's one thing to know how to build and configure a firewall, deploy a Windows network, or run various security tools to test your online security.  But IMHO that's technical training to produce specialists --- one friend even suggested those kind of hands-on-keyboard activities are the modern equivalent of blue-collar "jobs" of years past:  IE,  you've got Master Electricians and Certified Information Security Professionals;  you've got Journeymen Plumbers, you've got Certified Ethical Hackers, etc, etc.  I don't think he's that far off.  And we definitely need these people!!

But it's another thing to know how that low-level stuff fits into the bigger picture, understand context, think critically and independently, develop and communicate meaning, and be able to conceptualise more than your narrow slice of things -- THAT is where a broad and diverse education comes in, which most likely includes stuff drawn from the allegedly-useless humanities!!    These are necessary qualities on needs if they want to have a defined "career" instead of a series of "jobs" ---- and they come not from STEM-y disciplines but the humanities.  Through an appropriate educational framework, these folks can be exposed both to specialist knowledge as well as those 'soft skills' that allow them to take a generalist approach when needed.   Among other things, they can ask "why?" and not just focus on "how?"

That said, in my program, we've decided to split the difference to try and get the best of both worlds:  We recently built a 3-credit elective course around a popular technical training certification in the cybersecurity field.  However, rather than just lecturing and "teaching to the certification exam" (as many places do)  there are group projects, papers, presentations exams, and other assignments appropriate for graduate students, are academicly rigourous, and reflect what my program seeks to produce in its graduates.  We tell students that doing well in this course will prepare them for that industry certification (if they want to go that route) but that we are not teaching exclusively to that exam or restricting course content to just material related to the certification. (By contrast, other places offer 3 credits for what essentially is a "certification exam test prep" course.that could be taken at any commercial testing center or community college.)   

My apologies.....this turned into a long-winded screed saying that like many others I disagree with Coburn's Amendment and the overall trend of marginalising the humantiies to focus on STEM and worker skills development.  In my view, being an effective professional is both an Art and a Science.

Motivation and Scope

The first thematic issue of our 7th year (next year) will focus on a
literature review of 3D3C worlds according to specific topics. The issue
will connect with our JVWR workshop in Milan, Italy, on December, 15 (as
part of AIS ICIS
2013<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=1bd0038926&e=3f7039199b>).
(The issue will also be a base for a proposed book, where we will expand on
this theme.)

For this issue, ?topical review? means a review of corpus of knowledge on
one aspect of virtual worlds. It can be a classic literature
review<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=da1db5cf44&e=3f7039199b>,
a more formal statistical
meta-analysis<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=854490d63d&e=3f7039199b>or
other forms suggested by authors.

For this issue, "3D3C Worlds" is defined as a combination of four factors:

   - *3D* as in three dimensional representation of worlds as seen in
   Google Earth, Augmented Reality, 3D printing and the like;
   - *Community* as in the collection of people work, play and act
   together. Consider Facebook and Twitter as one example, and enhance it by
   the dynamics of World of Warcraft guilds;
   - *Creation* is the ability to create new artifacts, as seen for example
   in Second Life or in Open Source movement;
   - *Commerc*e is the ability to harness these previous factors to gain
   monetary real value (consider Bitcoin, exchanges, etc.)

The issue will be combined of three sections: Applications, Technologies
and Policies, each includes several papers:

   - *Applications*: Medical, Commerce, Defense etc.
   - *Technologies*: 3D, AR, Money, etc.
   - *Policies*: Standards, Privacy, Taxation, Legal, etc.

We have initial submissions in the following topics:

   - Collaboration
   - Medicine
   - Learning
   - ART
   - Taxation

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

*Applications*

   - Defense related virtual worlds
   - Relations and Love and virtual worlds
   - Ambient Life
   - Music and virtual worlds
   - Virtual Worlds for Sales

*Technologies*

   - The state of GPU
   - Measuring virtual worlds
   - Sensors
   - Robotics
   - Virtual Worlds and mobile
   - Virtual worlds and the web  (HTML5)
   - 3D Printing

*Policies*

   - Economics and Virtual Worlds
   - Privacy
   - Avatar rights
   - Legal rights
   - Standards (open vs. close)

p.s. Why Lantern?

The field of virtual worlds is vast, interconnected and expanding. In this
issue, we take a review lantern and shed some light on some of the fields'
sides. Clearly, we will not cover everything. We will often see shadows and
not the full image. Ultimately, we hope to encourage further exploring of
the field.

As promised, here is my list of primary voting projects:
http://zelea.com/w/Stuff:List_of_primary_voting_projects

I define "primary voting" as a more-or-less continuous process of
voting in which the results are not decisive.  Its purpose is to build
up a normative consensus or mutual understanding prior to a decision.
The decision itself is usually expressed through a separate mechanism,
as with an election, voting assembly or other authority.

Please let me know if I missed any projects.  Or just edit the list
directly (it's in a wiki).

Subject: [Air-L] Possible adopters, Digital Media Ethics, 2nd edition?
Message-ID: <CD745FD5.5C0DC%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIR friends and colleagues,

(with apologies in advance to any of you who experience this as a form of
unwanted spam.  My reason for sending this to the AoIR list is that the book
and its revisions are so deeply indebted to AoIR colleagues, the work of the
ethics committee, and conference presentations and discussions that AoIR
seems to me the book's first and most natural home.)

The second (substantially revised and thoroughly updated) edition of my
book, Digital Media Ethics (Polity Press) will come out later this year, I'm
very happy to say. I've appended the blurb at the end of this note.

In the meantime, however, Polity would like me to develop a list of possible
adopters of the book: the possible adopters will then be sent an inspection
copy of the book for review.

So: if you would like to be included in the list, please send me your
indication of interest along with exact contact details - name, address,
email address, and phone number - so that Polity can contact you as needed.

(You can send these to either my gmail account or UiO account:
<c.m.ess at media.uio.no>)

Along these lines, if anyone has recommendations for journals that would be
interested in reviewing the new book, I would very much appreciate that
information as well.

Thanks in advance, and best in the meantime,
-charles

The blurb: 
The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was
the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global
perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. This
second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and
scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes, particularly
the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also
benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material,
incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ?watershed?
events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook,
Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the
U.S., the E.U., and Asia.
  New for the second edition are sections on friendship online,
democratization, and ?citizen journalism? and its implications for
traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on the
?ethical toolkit?, this book will also introduce students to prevailing
ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in
digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright, pornography
and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online.
  Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and
theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions
that foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these
issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter includes additional
resources and suggestions for further research and writing.

**************************
Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Int. Journal of Human-Computer Studies

Perspectives on participatory HCI research: Beginnings, middles and endings

http://di.ncl.ac.uk/participation/special-issue/

**************************
Scope
**************************
Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user involvement in the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term engagements with communities to define research questions and study deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field, however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science, participatory and performance arts, international development, and action research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn attention to the potential benefits and challenges, both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI research.

While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The mundane yet still significant details of how participatory HCI research is performed are rarely documented and discussed by the community. The coming together of multiple perspectives from different disciplines ? some of which have existing frameworks, some debate the very notion of participation ? provides an opportunity for HCI researchers to reflect critically on how people are involved in design processes. Specifically, we call attention to the following three phases of performing participatory HCI research:

How we begin:
How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants, or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?

How we reflex and reflect:
How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory work along the way without skewing the process itself?

How we end:
How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research, and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or intervention?

**************************
Topics
**************************
This special issue aims to present a set of high quality, thought provoking, original research articles that address one or more of these stages through topics including, but not limited to:
-- Empirical studies collaborating with organizations and communities in the design or evaluation of new technologies.
-- Studies of participatory HCI that target specific populations or communities, such as older people, young people, activist groups, charities, rural communities, among others.
-- Theoretical and conceptual frameworks that unpack the questions and related problems of participation as a process.
-- Critical reflections on existing and historical examples of participation in HCI.
-- Strategies for documenting and eliciting reflection from both researchers and participants engaged in research.
-- Considerations of the ethical, moral and political implications of designing technologies with communities of users and stakeholders.
-- Interdisciplinary perspectives on participatory HCI research.
-- Case studies discussing experiences of beginning, reflecting on or sustaining participatory HCI research.

It is anticipated that submissions will tackle at least one stage of participatory research/design processes in use, as described above, and that accepted papers will comprise examples from each phase. Papers addressing theoretical issues will only be considered where the contribution is exceptional.

Subject: [Air-L] Help recruiting and enrolling participants in Twitter study
Message-ID: <CAN16u+v-X0t7Dv7D1HRn0vVmPmyGEg3hAG=Sv6JXX8aehztJmg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there. My name is Benjamin Gleason and I'm a 2nd year PhD student at
Michigan State University. I'm currently doing a study that explores the
digital literacy practices and identity performances of high school aged
Twitter users. The study design is composed of two stages-- the first will
be a discourse analysis of tweets and the second will be semi-structured
interview about their Twitter practices. I've received IRB approval for my
study and am ready to recruit and enroll participants, who I've been
following on Twitter for the past 4-6 weeks or so.

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of interesting identity-work happening and
would like to get the young people I've been following to participate in
the study. I invited a few of the participants to join the study, but the
response has been limited.

I was hoping to find participants through Twitter who may be interested in
participating, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to recruit participants
(aged 15-18) to join my study. The requirements of the study *seem* pretty
minimal-- only one (or maybe two) interviews about their Twitter use. But
I'm having a hard time getting young people to participate. Your help is
appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day :)

Dear all,

My research team and I are interested in designing a social media campaign to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. I have not been very successful in my search of existing campaigns, both within and beyond Australia. Is anyone aware of, or conducting their own research, in the areas of social media and stigma (whether it be for mental illness or any other health issue)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dear AoIR friends and colleagues,

(with apologies in advance to any of you who experience this as a form of
unwanted spam.  My reason for sending this to the AoIR list is that the book
and its revisions are so deeply indebted to AoIR colleagues, the work of the
ethics committee, and conference presentations and discussions that AoIR
seems to me the book's first and most natural home.)

The second (substantially revised and thoroughly updated) edition of my
book, Digital Media Ethics (Polity Press) will come out later this year, I'm
very happy to say. I've appended the blurb at the end of this note.

In the meantime, however, Polity would like me to develop a list of possible
adopters of the book: the possible adopters will then be sent an inspection
copy of the book for review.

So: if you would like to be included in the list, please send me your
indication of interest along with exact contact details - name, address,
email address, and phone number - so that Polity can contact you as needed.

(You can send these to either my gmail account or UiO account:
<c.m.ess at media.uio.no>)

Along these lines, if anyone has recommendations for journals that would be
interested in reviewing the new book, I would very much appreciate that
information as well.

Thanks in advance, and best in the meantime,
-charles

The blurb:
The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was
the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global
perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. This
second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and
scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes, particularly
the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also
benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material,
incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ?watershed?
events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook,
Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the
U.S., the E.U., and Asia.
  New for the second edition are sections on friendship online,
democratization, and ?citizen journalism? and its implications for
traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on the
?ethical toolkit?, this book will also introduce students to prevailing
ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in
digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright, pornography
and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online.
  Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and
theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions
that foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these
issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter includes additional
resources and suggestions for further research and writing.

WORKSHOP ON LARGE-SCALE IDEA MANAGEMENT AND DELIBERATION SYSTEMS (LSID 2013)

Held in conjunction with C&T 2013 Conference in Munich, Germany, on June
29, 2013
Website: http://comtech13.xrce.xerox.com/
Hashtag: #lsdelib
Email: lsdeliberation at xrce.xerox.com

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
*       Position/Extended Paper submission: April 16, 2013
(www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=lsdeliberation)
*       Author notification: April 23, 2013
*       Camera-ready paper submission: April 30, 2013
*       Workshop date: June 29, 2013

WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------
The workshop aims to assemble a diverse set of participants with an
interest in studying or building systems for large-scale ideation and
deliberation in business or civic settings. Aside of presenting new work
in the area, the goal of the workshop is to enable a multi-disciplinary
discussion about the key research questions and related themes
underlying the design, deployment, and evaluation of LSID platforms in
real world contexts. Therefore, in addition to presentations, the
workshop will involve networking activities of all workshop participants
in a series of organised discussions on the future developments of
deliberation systems and managing collaboration for future joint projects.
The research issues related to workshop area can be summarised by the
following problems:
*       How can we facilitate interaction of large communities ?
*       How can we organise information stored in deliberation systems and
enable to utilise this data in an efficient way?
*       How can we maintain sustainability of deliberation platforms and
stimulate impact of discussions and ideas?
The LSID Workshop invites researchers, engineers, software developers to
present their research and works in the field of idea management and
deliberation systems. Papers may deal with methods, models, case
studies, practical experiences and technologies.

PAPER SUBMISSION
---------------
Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts, neither submitted
nor accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or
journal. They must be written in English, and formatted using the ACM
SIGCHI two column layout
(http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform). Manuscripts should be
submitted (in PDF format) through the EasyChair system
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=lsdeliberation). In case of
any inquires, please do not hesitate to contact the organising
committee: lsdeliberation at xrce.xerox.com.

The submissions should focus on one or more of the following categories:
*       Empirical studies: e.g., case studies illustrating practices and
pointing to specific design requirements for business or civic settings.
*       Designs and demos of new systems or proof-of-concept prototypes of
systems for supporting large-scale ideation and deliberation; or
in-depth evaluations of systems already deployed.
*       Theoretical contributions on ideation and deliberation (processes
and
systems) that can inform future design and research.
*       Cases of multi-disciplinarily research showing the interplay between
field studies, analysis of requirements, and development of systems.

Depending on the scope and research maturity, we invite submissions of
two kinds of papers:
*       Position Papers: describing preliminary work, initial research
results
or vision papers proposing exciting new ideas for research and
development of either Idea Management or large-scale deliberation
systems. (1,500-2,000 words)
*       Extended Papers: reporting more substantial research or development
work. The extended papers report on mature research results and present
an evaluation that delivers new insight into problem areas described in
the workshop themes. (up to 8,000 words)

Three researchers will carefully review each submission using review
criteria shared by the organisers. The selection criteria includes the
significance of the contribution, relevance to the workshop themes, and
clarity. The maximum number of contributions accepted for presentation
will be about 20.

Subject: [Air-L] Lurking Theory
Message-ID: <CAJ_Acw9sFrxiWRU4rYwM3GSh3oQ=6xwePyRMRRCb510-8aq59A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi AOIRites (apologies for x-posting),

I'm pleased to share http://lurkingtheory.wordpress.com, a blog that I'm
using to jump-start a project on internet lurking.  The most recent post
looks at how different languages speak of the practices of reading without
writing online.  A number of AIR-L celebrities helped out, so please check
it out.

Other posts outline some of the project's key concerns and more are on the
way.  Your comments and critiques will be terribly helpful in developing
the project, so I hope you'll share any reactions, either through the blog
or by email (if you'd rather lurk).

All the best,
SK

Hi Bridianne,

I think you might want to look up the Let's Talk campaign that was Bell Canada's campaign to get the public talking about mental health to reduce stigma.

Re: Using social media to reduce stigma (Avery Holton)

You might check into Reducing the Stigma of Mental Illness (2005). It's a global report that's a bit dated, but valuable nonetheless. I've also found the Stuart et al. (2012) volume, Paradigms Lost: Fighting Stigma and the Lessons Learned, very helpful.

To: "irtf-announce at irtf.org" <irtf-announce at irtf.org>


Hi,

the IRTF is a co-sponsor of the 3rd MANIAC Challenge on the Saturday
before IETF-87 in Berlin.

       **  Call for Short Papers for the 3rd MANIAC Challenge  **

        Co-located with the 87th IETF meeting in Berlin, Germany
                     July 27 - August 2, 2013

                http://2013.maniacchallenge.org

        Sponsored by: Google, ISOC, IETF, IRTF, ANR, and BMBF

The MANIAC Challenge is a competition to better understand cooperation and
interoperability in ad hoc networks. Competing teams students/researchers
come together to form a wireless ad hoc network, while simultaneously
connected to a backbone of access points. The organizers will generate
traffic coming from the backbone, destined to somewhere in the network. A
hop-by-hop bidding contest decides the path of each data packet towards its
destination.

Each team usually consists of two to three people. Teams will be judged
based on how much of the traffic they relay gets to its destination. To get
their traffic across the network, each team must rely on other teams
willingness to forward traffic for them. We have developed software and an
API over Android to allow teams to program their nodes, in particular
override forwarding decisions made by the routing protocol and participate
in the hop-by-hop bidding contest.

------------------------------------------------
Topic of 3rd MANIAC Challenge: Mobile Offloading
------------------------------------------------

The specific focus of the MANIAC Challenge 2013 is on developing and
comparatively evaluating strategies to offload infrastructure access points
via customer ad hoc forwarding using handhelds (e.g., smartphones,
tablets). The incentive for customers is discounted monthly fees, and the
incentive for operators is decreased infrastructure costs. The idea is to
demonstrate scenarios/strategies that do not degrade user experience while
offering significant mobile offloading on the infrastructure.
Details about the scenario and competition rules are available at
http://2013.maniacchallenge.org/rules-setup.

----------
Submission
----------

We solicit the submission of short papers (max. 2 pages IEEE double-column
format) describing strategies for mobile offloading. After being
peer-reviewed, authors of selected submissions will be invited to
participate in the MANIAC Challenge and to attend the IETF meeting. We
highly encourage authors to continue the development of the offloading
strategy during the review time.

Please, submit your short paper via email to maniac2013 at lists.fu-berlin.de.

-------------
Participation
-------------

Author participation will consist in attending the MANIAC Challenge in
Berlin, Germany, July 27 - 28, 2013. Authors are also invited to attend the
IETF/IRTF meeting July 28 - August 2, 2013. Participation in the MANIAC
Challenge is free of charge. Registration costs (at full-time student rate)
for the IETF/IRTF meeting are sponsored by ISOC.

Authors bring an implementation of the strategy described in the paper
submitted by the author, running on the common API and the common hardware
used for the event: the Nexus 7 tablet. The MANIAC API and software will be
released with the notification of acceptance. Hardware will be provided by
the organizers if necessary.

Each participant will then concurrently run its strategy during the
contest, taking place on July 27th at the Freie Universit?t Berlin. The
following day, a workshop will take place at the IETF venue, where we will
summarize and discuss the results of the contest.

The winners of the MANIAC Challenge 2013 will be announced during the IRTF
Open Meeting, which is part of the IETF/IRTF week with high visibility. The
IRTF Open Meeting usually will be attended by more than 100 experts from
industry and academia working on Internet Engineering.

Winners will take home some prizes to be determined with sponsors. Competing
teams will be provided complimentary IETF registration enabling them to attend
the 87th IETF meeting in Berlin, July 28 - August 2nd.

Details about the submission and participation are available at
http://2013.maniacchallenge.org/participation/

> **************************
> Scope
> **************************
> Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI
> community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized
> approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user involvement in
> the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users
> or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term
> engagements with communities to define research questions and study
> deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field,
> however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in
> research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science,
> participatory and performance arts, international development, and action
> research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from
> funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the
> public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn
> attention to the potential benefits and challenges
>  , both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI
> research.
>
> While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can
> offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions
> in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically
> reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The
> mundane yet still significant details of how participatory HCI research is
> performed are rarely documented and discussed by the community. The coming
> together of multiple perspectives from different disciplines ? some of
> which have existing frameworks, some debate the very notion of
> participation ? provides an opportunity for HCI researchers to reflect
> critically on how people are involved in design processes. Specifically, we
> call attention to the following three phases of performing participatory
> HCI research:
>
> How we begin:
> How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants,
> or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who
> here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or
> what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and
> assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are
> certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?
>
> How we reflex and reflect:
> How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of
> participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How
> are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon
> the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design
> process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it
> and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice
> as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory
> work along the way without skewing the process itself?
>
> How we end:
> How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should
> be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the
> practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is
> sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research,
> and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a
> context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or
> intervention?
>
> **************************

Subject: [Air-L] Anyone studying big data and investing in China?
Message-ID: <CAMsrFiGCDr29bY+-TF8PViBPzZk0W6WU7hROCexK5UfvpuHGtw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I have a super smart student here who is looking for a bit of help from our
China specialists. Here is his query:


As someone studying global economics, I?ve become increasingly interested
in learning how individual Chinese investors manage to stay abreast of
financial news given how cut off the average Chinese citizen appears to be
from social media flows on sites like Twitter. In the U.S., American
investors are increasingly making financial decisions based on activities
on social media sites (known colloquially as ?investing through big data
research.?) How do Chinese investors use big data? Do Chinese investors use
big data?


_________

Any thoughts? I think this is worth discussing on-list, but you can also
email him privately if you wish at jfr308 at nyu.edu


Huge thanks in advance!

Terri

Subject: [Air-L] Looking for best practices re privacy education
Message-ID: <CAMsrFiGc+gu96esPAzut9TRxVpjBP889ACtz0hK0oDS-3QqvEA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Another question that I know some of you are total experts on:

I'm looking for examples of best practices (ideally case studies) of
education efforts re internet user privacy.

These could be grassroots, government efforts, corporate efforts, activist
efforts. Could be for kids, seniors, university students, consumers,
whatever.  Could be about parsing terms of service agreements, negotiating
option bottons, etc. As long as people have praised them as being useful in
some way, I'd be interested in seeing them.


I seem to recall Canada being big in this area. Am I wrong about that?

Thanks in advance, pals.

Terri

Message-ID: <CAJ8rtsxNdx5iPsFtJMHKu9kDzELmgT90LS+8tHNsxZ0_0iLrHQ@mail.gmail.com>

Social, Casual, Mobile: Changing Games, ANZCA 2013 PreConference, 2
July 2013, Perth, Western Australia.

Extension: Abstract submissions will now remain open until Friday, 5 April 2013.

Keynote Speaker: Mia Consalvo, Concordia University in Montreal
http://about.me/miaconsalvo
Plenary Speaker: John Banks, Queensland University of Technology
http://www.playification.com/

Social, casual and mobile games ? primarily experienced on smartphones
and online social networks ? are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and
in the process, changing the ways in which games are designed,
understood and, most importantly, played. This free one-day
preconference held on 2 July at Curtin University in Perth, Australia,
will explore this rapidly changing gaming landscape and discuss the
ludic, methodological, theoretical, economic, social and cultural
challenges that these changes invoke.  Importantly, social, casual and
mobile games do not exist in a vacuum, so the challenges, changes and
continuities in relation to previous digital and physical games and
gaming practices are also open for analysis.

Topics might include, but are by no means limited to:
?	Design and industry shifts from traditional games to mobile and
networked games
?	New user demographics
?	Virtual currencies, in-game purchases, the .99c price-point and
other economic issues
?	Games as  surveillance and the exchange of user information for game progress
?	Zynga: The Rise and (partial) Fall of Facebook?s Biggest Gaming Friend
?	Mobile Franchises:  Angry Birds, Plants V Zombies, and so on.
?	South-East Asian and other non-Western gaming cultures
?	Gaming communities
?	Gamification - the good, the bad, and the scoreboard
?	Convergence and social, casual and mobile games
?	Edutainment
?	The sociality or otherwise of social games
?	Shifting landscape from PC and console games to social, casual and
mobile games
?	Locative games: place and mobility

Abstracts of no more than 500 words (or full papers of no more than
5000 words if preferred) including a brief biographic statement, using
APA 6th referencing style, are now due Friday, 5 April 2013 emailed to
socialcasualmobile at gmail.com. Accepted papers and abstract-only
presentations will be notified by 15 April 2013.

Pre-conference papers and abstracts will not appear in the ANZCA
proceedings; rather they will automatically be considered for
inclusion in an edited collection on the topic Social, Casual, Mobile:
Changing Games being organised concurrently with the preconference. If
you do NOT want your paper or abstract considered for inclusion in
this collection, please note this when emailing your submission.

Hello,

Best wishes,

*Cached <http://nyupress.org/books/book-details.aspx?bookId=8212>*: Decoding
the Internet in Global Popular Culture (NYU Press, 2013)

In the 1980s and 1990s, the internet became a major player in the global
economy and a revolutionary component of everyday life for much of the
United States and the world. It offered users new ways to relate to one
another, to share their lives, and to spend their time?shopping, working,
learning, and even taking political or social action. Policymakers and news
media attempted?and often struggled?to make sense of the emergence and
expansion of this new technology. They imagined the internet in conflicting
terms: as a toy for teenagers, a national security threat, a new democratic
frontier, an information superhighway, a virtual reality, and a framework
for promoting globalization and revolution.

Schulte maintains that contested concepts had material consequences and
helped shape not just our sense of the internet, but the development of the
technology itself. *Cached* focuses on how people imagine and relate to
technology, delving into the political and cultural debates that produced
the internet as a core technology able to revise economics, politics, and
culture, as well as to alter lived experience. Schulte illustrates the
conflicting and indirect ways in which culture and policy combined to
produce this transformative technology.

*Stephanie Ricker Schulte* is Assistant Professor of Communication at the
University of Arkansas.

"This is the most culturally sophisticated history of the Internet yet
written. We can't make sense of what the Internet means in our lives
without reading Schulte's elegant account of what the Internet has meant at
various points in the past 30 years."
?Siva Vaidhyanathan, Chair of the Department of Media Studies, University
of Virginia

Hi Louise,

The list members have made some wonderful suggestions. Perhaps my
book, *Civility
in the Digital Age: How Companies and People Can Triumph over Haters,
Trolls, Bullies, and Other Jerks, *released last month, would make a good
addition to an already strong list of works. It identifies and addresses a
host of online etiquette misbehaviors and violations, and offers a
framework for trying to effectively manage them.

Best regards,

Andrea

dear terri,

i think tactical tech has done some great work in how activists/advocates/everyday citizens can look out for their privacy (given that this is even possible).
what i really like about their work is that they pay as much attention to their content as to their form/media. there material/courses are accessible and appealing to a general audience.
while we are at it, i will also advertise their upcoming summer camp (sorry for cross-posting):


Tactical Tech has been busy preparing for this year's Info Activism Camp
titled 'Evidence and Influence'. Applications for the Camp are now open
and we would really like to see someone from your organisation applying
to attend. More details here:
https://camp2013.tacticaltech.org/content/important-information
Please do pass this around and share it.
The first deadline is April 2nd but only for those who need Schengen
visas - so please apply soon !

best,
s.

 The future of publishing

After nearly 400 years in the slow-moving world of print, the scientific
publishing industry is suddenly being thrust into a fast-paced online world
of cloud computing, crowd sourcing and ubiquitous sharing. Long-established
practices are being challenged by new ones ? most notably, the open-access,
author-pays publishing model. In this special issue, *Nature* takes a close
look at the forces now at work in scientific publishing, and how they may

Message-ID: <CAN3zVQz6RgGwzg5RehgFxWy_whAUG5q=xwJKQ8zj8A9qy48t+g@mail.gmail.com>

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 Kishonna,

Part of my PhD thesis, ?Co-productions of Technology, Culture and Policy 
in the North American Community Wireless Networking Movement? looked at 
'policy hacking' - it is available here, along with the rest of the 
thesis chapters: http://www.alisonpowell.ca/?page_id=71

I have also looked at 'technical activism' in a recent paper "Emerging 
Issues in Internet Regulation: the unstable role of Wikileaks and 
cyber-vigilantism" - available here 
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1932740

and I'm working on something now about hacking at the SOPA strike . . . 
finished soon I hope.

All the best,

alison.

Message-ID: <CAAiw9dcf8bC889-ai_eU7=H2dfUkn3YEjAzQF1svXH8v1L_=sw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,



I was wondering whether anyone on the list is aware of the literature
(theoretical or empirical) discussing cyberspace as a potentially new space
for social policy, especially in the context of the current economic crisis
- when using e-solutions in the area of social policy might be considered
one of the ways of restructuring existing welfare states? Any suggestions
will be much appreciated.



Thank you very much for your consideration.



Best regards,

Dear IRs,

I am looking at available data of online pornography and looked at
available studies made out of them.

I'm very surprised to mainly only find studies on impact/effect of
pornography on humans with almost none study on topology/dynamics/evolution
of the object itself.

Does some of you have some references in mind that dig in that direction ?

(If I manage to arrange a dataset out of available data on public website,
I would be glad to share it, let me know if you're interested.)

Thanks for your help,
All best,
Antoine

Feona Atwood comes to mind for me, as well as studies of media and
pornography by Robert Jensen. I'd start by looking at Feona's work and
seeing where that leads you, I know this is a developing area of
research, especially evolving understandings of pornography in
everyday life. I hope this helps, Peter

not quantitative

Bryant Paul from Indiana University Telecom specializes in sexual
messaging in media, not sure that involves porn per se, but worth a
look.

{Apologies for duplication]

ASIS&T Changes Its Name, Enhances Its Global Mission 


With nearly 90% of all ballots cast voting in favor of a name change, the American Society for Information Science and Technology has become the Association for Information Science and Technology.

While the ASIS&T acronym stays the same, the name change recognizes the growing influence of ASIS&T in the international arena. The opportunities and challenges with respect to the science and technology of information are increasingly international in focus and scope. ASIS&T supports members around the globe in addressing these opportunities and challenges.

When 2012 ASIS&T president Diane H. Sonnenwald, in collaboration with 2011 president Linda C. Smith,  2013 president Andrew Dillon, and 2014 president Harry Bruce, called for a membership vote on the name change issue, she said, ?The word American in our name often makes it difficult for individuals outside the United States to receive recognition for belonging to and participating in ASIS&T. It also fails to recognize the important contributions members outside the United States make to our association and to our discipline.?

In addition, Sonnenwald noted that increasing international participation in ASIS&T will provide additional opportunities for all members to learn from and share expertise and knowledge with colleagues who have different expertise and knowledge.
 
Currently 18% of ASIS&T members reside outside the United States in 52 different countries. At the recent 75th Anniversary ASIS&T Annual Meeting, attendees came from 25 countries, with 22% coming from countries other than the United States. In addition, ASIS&T runs successful international conferences, notably the annual European Information Architecture Summit, and will hold its 2013 Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada. 

The new name reflects the commitment of our members to international cooperation and global efforts to increase the influence of information science in education, research and applications to ensure the best access, management and use of information in an increasingly interconnected world.

All contact points, including web address, e-mail, phone, address, etc. will remain the same.

Hi Antoine,

I know that Prof Bryant Paul, here at Indiana University, he researches
pornography and the effects of sexual messages in the media. You'd probably
want to look him up.

Here's the link to his website:

Hi Antoine:
here is a reference to a study that analyzed the 
complete Web traffic at a German university 
during the early days of the Web and found porn 
to be the most frequently type of content 
accessed (ca. 25% of Web traffic).

Berker, T. 2002. World Wide Web use at a German 
university - computers, sex, and imported names: 
results of a log file analysis. In B. Batinic, 
U.-D. Reips, and M. Bosnjak (eds.), Online Social 
Sciences (pp. 365-382). G?ttingen, Germany: 
Hogrefe.

Hope it helps.

Hello Antoine -

I know a Brazilian Anthropologist, Carolina Parreiras Silva, was looking at sexualities online and has recently focused on porn from an ethnographic perspective.
She's on Twitter as @carolmineira .
You might find some intersection between the qual and the quant.

Cheers,
Sharon Greenfield

Dear Mark,
You might find the website for the "Digging into Data Challenge" (
www.diggingintodata.org) a useful resource.  The Digging into Data
Challenge is an international grant competition created by the National
Endowment for the Humanities that involves ten research funders
representing Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United
States (the National Science Foundation and the Institute for Museum and
Library Services are the other two US funders).

We are currently soliciting applications for round 3 of this competition,
but for your purposes, you might find a lot of useful material based on the
first round of funding, including a report from the Council on Library and
Information Resources (CLIR): "One Culture. Computationally Intensive
Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences: A Report on the Experiences
of First Respondents to the Digging Into Data Challenge" (
http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub151).

Since the projects require diverse collaborative teams from a variety
of disciplinary backgrounds and nationalities, you get a nice mix of
qualitative and quantitative methodologies against the backdrop of some
interesting research material (such as data mining historical crime using
nearly 200,000 trials across nearly 250 years in the Old Bailey archives -
http://criminalintent.org/).  Furthermore, many projects have robust
project websites and blogs.

The Digging website also has a healthy list of available data repositories:
http://www.diggingintodata.org/Home/Repositories/tabid/167/Default.aspx

Hope you and your students find these resources useful.

(And, as an aside, anyone interested in applying for a Digging into Data
grant should also visit diggingintodata.org for the submission guidelines
-- the deadline is May 15, 2013).

With kind regards,
Jason

Hi there

Very interesting question and I'd love to be kept in the loop!

Below is not exactly what you were asking for but certainly relevant:

Patterns of ownership of child model sites:
Profiling the profiteers and consumers of child exploitation material
First Monday, Volume 18, Number 2 - 4 February 2013
http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4300

We also have a JASIST paper in print & happy to email you a late draft

See also this one re terminology
It is NOT child pornography. It is a crime scene photo

Subject: [Air-L] Submission Deadline and Very Early Bird Registration
 extension plus Proceedings announed
Message-ID: <CAFMSwM+SZiPLQX2+jRUb2LBOEHM-c1BXF6MqKygq-eC=R4cMCQ@mail.gmail.com>

There is still time to submit a proposal for the 2013 ELD Conference and we
have some very exciting news to add to an already exciting conference

*The new submission deadline is March 17, 2013* and the reason we've
extended the window to submit is because *select proceeding* from the
conference *will be published in the new Journal of Emerging Learning
Design (ELDJ)*.  This is not to say that all presentations will or are
expected to appear in the ELDJ, or that consideration for ELDJ is a
requirement of submission.  But for those who are interested, publication
in this peer-reviewed journal is going to be an option.  Details on the
ELDJ appear at the bottom of this notice.

For more information on ELD13 Conference, please click on the following link

2013 Conference Theme ? Learning As Disruption
The mission of the Emerging Learning Design Conference is to showcase best
practices in design and implementation by bringing together those
interested in engaging in a vibrant and dynamic discourse regarding
pedagogy and how technology can better enhance it.

The 2013 conference will take place on the campus of Montclair State
University.  MSU is located in northern New Jersey, 14 miles west of
Manhattan and is easily accessible by car, bus, or train.

As part of our rolling acceptance method of creating the conference
program, we've already secured some great presentations.  Don't delay in
submitting yours to fill our remaining spots alongside presentations like
these:

?         Christopher Donoghue will help you increase the frequency and
quality of instructor-student interaction in distance education using
Qualtrics, in ?Virtual Instructor-Student Interaction in an Asynchronous
Learning Network?.

?         Michael Kolitsky will show us how to enable different modes of
learning, on-demand, with ?Where Does 3D Printing Fit Into Your Pedagogical
Thinking??

?         John T Oliver will make a case for the pedagogical value of open,
collaborative knowledge construction in ?Making student Wikipedians:
Encouraging disruptive scholarly communication?

?         Sophie Idromenos will demonstrate game design using Scratch in a
hands-on workshop called "The Scratch Disruption: Video Game Design with
Scratch.

We are also pleased to announce that the Very Early Bird Registration
pricing has also been extended until March 17th.  So there?s still time to
get the lowest registration cost available, at least for a couple more
weeks.

*The Journal of Emerging Learning Design
*The *Journal of Emerging Learning Design (ELDJ) *is an open access,
peer-reviewed, online journal that provides a platform for academics and
practitioners to explore emerging learning design theories, concepts, and
issues and their implications at national and international levels.

An outgrowth of the annual Emerging Learning Design
Conference<http://eld.montclair.edu/>,
which makes its home at Montclair State University (MSU), The ELDJ invites
scholarly communication in the emerging learning design field and will
present best practices in design and implementation by offering articles
that present, propose, or review engaging and dynamic approaches to
pedagogy and how technology can better enhance it.

The inaugural issue is planned for March 22nd, 2013.  The issue including
the proceedings from the Emerging Learning Design 2013 conference is
anticipated for early 2014.

Subject: [Air-L] Knight News Challenge: Collaborators for free-range voting
Message-ID: <1362280600.2EAEb10.27890@out.zelea.com>

We're seeking collaborators for a Knight News Challenge proposal.
This year's challenge is, "How might we improve the way citizens and
governments interact?"  https://www.newschallenge.org/

The submission deadline is March 18.  Below is a tentative draft of
our proposal.  We haven't finalized it yet.  If you're a provider of
online voting services and wish to join in this proposal, please
contact one of us (see provider list in description below).  Aside
from technical providers, we might also need organizational support
(in part because there's financing if we win).


PROJECT TITLE

   Free-range voting

MAIN IMAGE

   http://zelea.com/project/outcast/vomir.png

DESCRIPTION

   This is a proposal to apply the technology of vote mirroring in
   order to forestall the formation of a monopoly in primary voting
   services.  Innovations in primary voting are beginning to improve
   the way citizens and governments interact.  New methods of
   continuous, online voting will soon enable citizens to form and
   express their opinions well in advance of government decisions.  To
   ensure that these developments offer enhancements to our political
   freedom, rather than reductions, we must maintain a level playing
   field among the competing technical providers; both the ability of
   the citizen to express herself clearly and effectively, and the
   ability of the technician to supply the necessary innovations,
   depend on the citizen's unrestricted freedom in choosing a
   technical provider.  You might think that opening up the source
   code of a voting facility would be sufficient to ensure that the
   facility itself stays free and open, but that is not true.  Voting
   is prone to network effects.  It's like a telephone service in this
   regard.  If I plug my telephone into a different network than
   everyone else is using, then it isn't going to work.  Having a copy
   of the source code won't help.  Unless something is done to address
   and tame the broader network effects, then online voters (like
   telephone customers before them) will become locked into the
   services of a dominant provider.

   The solution proposed here is vote mirroring.  Votes cast at
   facility A are mirrored at facilities B, C, and so forth.  This
   involves copying each vote and translating it from the format of
   the source facility (A) to that of the mirroring facility (B, C,
   etc.).  Voting methods may differ hugely and the translation may
   therefore entail a degree of information loss, making for an
   imperfect image.  Such imperfections cannot invalidate the overall
   technique, however, because a best effort at an image is always a
   better reflection of reality than no image at all.  The upshot is
   that each facility now gets all the votes and can show the truest
   possible picture of the overall results.  It no longer matters
   where I cast my own vote, because it shows up everywhere
   regardless.  So I can range freely across all the available
   facilities and settle on whichever best suits my personal needs and
   preferences.  Never again can I be trapped by a particular
   provider.

   This proposal will initially implement free-range voting in:

      Agora Voting
         http://agoravoting.com/
         Libre software voting platform, through the small company
         Wadobo, which has collaborated very actively in its
         development.  Contact: Eduardo Robles Elvira.

      Votorola
         http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html
         Social software in support of public autonomy.  Contact:
         Michael Allan, +1 416-699-9528, http://zelea.com

      - if you're a technical provider of voting facilities and wish
        to join us in this proposal, please contact one of us -

   Together we plan to build a lightweight mirroring network to
   loosely interconnect our voting facilities.  We'll begin with
   voting forms that are fully public; those are the simplest to
   handle and they allow for unrestricted technical freedom among
   providers.  We'll work out the problems and gain experience with
   the technology.  An immediate benefit will be to reduce the
   expectation of network effects that has long poisoned relations
   among providers and hampered their development work.  Small
   projects will no longer be forced to devote scarce resources to
   attempts at tipping an unstable balance in their own favour.
   Instead, we may expect an improvement in the professional climate
   of the field and an increase in its attractiveness to talent, and
   other resources.

   Along the way, we'll document the techniques, patterns and
   protocols that work for us.  These will be the first entries in
   what we hope later evolves into a catalogue of lightweight
   standards that others may optionally apply; both to hook into the
   mirroring network itself, and also to interoperate with other
   facilities related to voting.  We'll avoid developing standards
   that are mandatory for mirroring, however, because that might
   restrict technical freedom, impair innovation, and degrade the
   mirroring network into a technical monopoly of its own.  Instead,
   we'll keep the mirroring network forever open to all possible
   methods, forms and implementations of voting.

WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT?  (1 sentence max)

   To apply the technology of vote mirroring in order to forestall the
   formation of an online monopoly in the provision of primary voting
   services, improve the professional climate among providers, and
   keep the field open as a source of innovation for improving the way
   citizens and governments iteract.

Subject: [Air-L] Knight News Challenge: Pioneering the practice of public
	autonomy
Message-ID: <1362294719.CFBf60.4818@out.zelea.com>

I'm seeking practitioners to collaborate on a second Knight News
Challenge proposal.  Again, this year's challenge is, "How might we
improve the way citizens and governments interact?"
https://www.newschallenge.org/

The submission deadline is March 18.  Below is a rough draft of the
proposal.  Aside from practitioners, we might also need organizational
support (in part because there's financing if we win).  Please let me
know if you can help.  My contact details are at: http://zelea.com/


PROJECT TITLE

   Pioneering the practice of public autonomy

MAIN IMAGE

   http://zelea.com/project/votorola/d/practice/2-grow/validity/seeking.png

DESCRIPTION

   We aren't quite free if we live under laws and other norms that we
   cannot reasonably agree with.  To be free in a social world that
   regulates itself by norms (to have public autonomy), we must be
   able to amend and correct those norms that offend us on this
   principle.  As the social theorist and philosopher Habermas puts
   it, "Just those action norms are valid to which all possibly
   affected persons could agree as participants in rational
   discourses."  Taking this discourse principle as our guiding star,
   we aim to pioneer a practice of public autonomy based on the
   continual exposure of draft norms to the guidance of rational
   discourses.  We'll simultaneously run electoral primaries based on
   open, transitive voting to put our most qualified practitioners on
   the ballot and into office.  There they'll continue to work with
   us, their un-elected peers.  Together we'll use this improved
   mechanism of interaction between citizens and government to ratchet
   up the legitimacy of statutes and other regulatory norms.  On the
   technical side, we'll use MediaWiki for the drafting medium;
   Semantic MediaWiki as an open database and voter registry
   (streetwiki); existing public forums as the discussion media;
   Votorola's prototype toolset for transitive voting and recombinant
   text; plus any other suitable tools and technical projects that we
   pick up along the way.  Already we have enough to support a crude
   practice.

   Pioneering that practice is the topic of this proposal.  There are
   two things to understand about this from the outset.  The first is
   that, despite the proliferation of designs for participatory
   democracy that are flawed in terms of legitimacy and efficacy,
   nobody has yet found such a fundamental flaw in the design of this
   particular practice.  The acid test is to locate the single person
   who cannot reasonably assent to a law, then evolve that law in a
   direction to which all can assent.  Second, it appears that the
   core of this practice can be developed and proven by a small group
   of pioneers.  The core is the process of validity seeking (main
   figure).  It is conducted by small "leaf groups" of typically 2-5
   practitioners who continually join with the public in discourse.
   These discourses are structured not only to guide the would-be
   normative action in the direction of validity, but also to provide
   the human resources that are necessary to carry out that action.
   This implies that *if* a pioneering leaf group ever succeeds in
   getting the design and performance of this core process right,
   delivering on both its purposes, then the entire population will be
   led into freedom by that success.

   To achieve that success will require special skills.  We're looking
   for people who have the capacity to critique the design of the
   practice and to expose any flaws, while also being resourceful
   enough to handle a toolset that is only partly implemented and may
   yet require some re-design work.  The technical designs cannot be
   allowed to harden into finished tools until we have a better
   understanding of the hands-on practice.  We're also looking for
   people with imagination.  When your hands are engaged in a nascent
   practice such as this, and your mind is equipped to make up for the
   missing parts, then it becomes like a lense into the future; you're
   out in front thinking for all the others who will follow.  If you
   know of anyone possessing these skills who might be interested,
   please point them to this proposal.

WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT?  (1 sentence max)

   To pioneer a practice of public autonomy that interrelates citizens
   and government via mechanisms of transitive primary voting,
   recombinant text, and the continual exposure of legislative bills
   and other draft norms to the guidance of rational discourses.

The absence may be disciplinary. I know that Shane Greenstein in his discussions of internet adoption takes up the very prominent role that pornography distributors have. In diffusion of technology terms, pornography has been major content source for VHS and DVD media as well as internet and broadband adoption. I believe there is quantitative data there, I don't have a reference at my fingertips though.

::: ECSCW 2013 ::: Final Call for Workshops and Master Classes

The 13th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 2013)
21-25 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus.

Website: http://www.ecscw2013.org/

Master Classes and Workshops will be held on Saturday 21 - Sunday 22 September.

Submission deadline for proposals: March 8, 2013
Notification: April 11, 2013
Proposed workshop paper deadline: June 28, 2013


Workshops

Workshops are designed to offer an informal environment for focused group 
discussion and learning. They can be in the format of presentation followed by 
synthesis of contributions and discussion. However, we also encourage proposals 
that include activities such as extensive hands-on sessions, site explorations, 
or applied method sessions to advance practical understandings of emerging 
application areas, concepts, and new methodologies. Each workshop should 
generate ideas that give the ECSCW community a new, organized way of thinking 
about a given topic or suggest promising directions for future research. 
Workshops may be half-day or full day sessions.

Workshop proposals should consist of an abstract and a detailed proposal. The 
abstract should be no more than 150 words. The body of the proposal should be 
no more than 3000 words, and should include a description of the theme(s) of 
the workshop, the workshop activities and goals, the duration of the workshop 
(one or two full days), the background of the organizer(s), the maximum number 
of participants, and the means of recruiting and selecting participants. We 
encourage workshop organizers to create web-based resources for their workshops 
so that advertising, submission and organization can be handled online. 
Submissions should be sent through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.

Accepted workshops will need to provide a short description of the workshop for 
publication on the conference web site containing the workshop title, names and 
affiliations of organizers, 150-word abstract, workshop web site, and position 
paper submission or other participation requirements.

Accepted workshops may optionally provide a 2-page Workshop Program for 
printing in the conference supplemental proceedings. The program should contain 
the workshop title, 150-word abstract, objectives, participant names and 
schedule.


Master Classes

Master classes will offer a small number of participants the opportunity to 
learn about specific CSCW concepts, methods and techniques from recognized 
experts. Master classes may be for half-day or full day sessions. Master 
classes proposals should be no more than 3000 words, and should include a 
description of the theme(s) of the master class, the background of the 
organizer(s) and the maximum number of participants. Submissions should be sent 
through the ECSCW 2013 electronic submission system.

Hi Nancy and all,

I don't know if anyone addressed your plea for help yet, but I'm just
looking at the template linked from http://ir14.aoir.org/cfp/, and it
appears it IS the template.  All the sentences and paragraphs where the
style guide mentions a style are actually styled in that style.

Wow, sorry to be so clumsy in that last sentence, but y'all see my meaning
I hope.  I haven't done a deep dive yet, but so far all the styles I need
are already embedded

FWIW,

annette

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: 4TH ANNUAL DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM OF THE COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY DIVISION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION
 ***APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 15, 2013!***

Date and Time: Monday, 17 June 2013; 9:00 ? 17:00

Location: Hilton London Metropole Hotel

Cost: $75.00 USD (some scholarships available, see below)

Primary Organizers: Miriam Metzger, UCSB; Nicole Kramer, U Duisburg-Essen and Lee Humphreys, Cornell U

Description: The consortium brings together PhD candidates working on Communication and Technology to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The goals of the event are to provide feedback and advice to participating PhD candidates on their in-progress research thesis. Moreover, the doctoral consortium will provide the opportunity to meet experts as well as fellow PhD candidates from different backgrounds working on related topics.

Students who would like to participate in the doctoral consortium are invited to submit applications as per the instructions listed below. During the consortium, students will be invited to present their work and they will receive feedback from their fellow students and faculty participants, all of whom will have read the proposals in advance of the Doctoral Consortium. In addition, at least one faculty participant will be assigned to respond in detail to each proposal. Besides the presentations of proposals, there will also be professional development sessions on topics such as ethics, research methods, publishing the dissertation, and positioning one?s work for the job market.

Applicants must be advanced to candidacy and have their dissertation proposal topic. Ideally, students will be in the early stages of their dissertation, where feedback would be most helpful in refining and advancing their work. To apply, students must submit a proposal describing their research as follows:

?   Submissions must be related to the working area of the Communication and Technology Division of ICA

?   Proposals must identify the significant problems in the field of research, briefly outline current knowledge of the problem domain, and clearly formulate a research question

?   Proposals must outline the proposed research approach, methods, and results obtained so far

?   Submissions must not exceed 6000 words, and must include name and affiliation of the PhD candidate

?   Applications should be accompanied by a short letter of recommendation from the advisor stating how the PhD candidate can benefit from participation in the Doctoral Consortium

The proposal and letter of recommendation must be submitted as one PDF document and sent as an attachment in an email to Miriam Metzger, metzger at comm.ucsb.edu<mailto:metzger at comm.ucsb.edu>. The new deadline for submission is March 15, 2013. Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the members of the program committee based on significance of research, specificity of research topic and/or questions, clarity of writing, and degree to which the student can benefit from expert guidance and feedback.

To help ensure the consortium best meets the needs of its members, limited financial assistance will be made possible by the CAT Division. Please note in your application if you would like to be considered for financial support to cover your costs for participation in the CAT Doctoral Consortium (this support would cover only the $75 participation fee and not travel to London).

Information about CAT:
The CAT Division within ICA is concerned with the role played by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the process of communication. It is committed to enhancing theory and methodology pertaining to adoption, usage, effects, and policy of ICTs. Areas of research include human-computer interaction, computer-mediated communication, mobile communication, and other technologically mediated social interaction and networking in all contexts (interpersonal, group, organizational, societal/cultural) and at all levels of analyses. The goal of the CAT Doctoral Consortium is to provide a unique professional development and intellectual opportunity for those doctoral candidates who seek to make an innovative and original contribution to our understanding of ICTs, with the primary focus on communication aspects of particular technological characteristics.

Subject: [Air-L] Facebook researchers: how do you get a list of users who
	like a page?
Message-ID: <CAEa9SOGcCNyuv5bhc-SvWntxM0WPptbB18ASpJVGEkbV5irT0A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I am researching NPOs that use Facebook, and I'm trying to compile a
network of users who like individual NPO FB pages. I have tried to get a
list of users who like the NPO FB pages using two importers (NodeXL and
netvizz), but these tools only download user-post networks and do not
provide a list of all users who like the page (at least I didn't see that
option).

I recently read that Facebook restricts this option in the API due to
privacy concerns<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3546320/how-to-list-facebook-users-who-like-a-page-or-interest>,
and I noticed that the "like" class in
FQL<http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/like>only
returns lists for objects like posts, photos, etc.

Does anyone have a tool or method for using the API to get this data?

Thanks!

Andrew

Andrew,

If you know how to query the Facebook API you can pull the names and 
userids of all users whose profile you can view with your access token 
who have liked any public post. You access the data by appending 
"/likes" to any FB graph object id that can be liked (photos, comments, 
wall posts, etc.) and paging through the results until there are none left.

Here's an example: 
https://graph.facebook.com/10150146071831729/likes?limit=100 (100 is the 
max N of results FB returns in a single API call and allows you to pull 
results faster). Note that in nearly all cases, you will pull fewer 
names than the total N of likes the API lists--this is due to some users 
having privacy settings that prevent outsiders from viewing their likes.

Best, ~DEEN

I am really curious if you asked the question SHOULD I access a list of
users who like a certain page.  If even Facebook views the privacy of their
users and the pages that they like on Facebook as private, perhaps you
should consider your own research ethics. Membership lists typically
receive certain protections under the law--especially in the EU and UK.
While "likes" of a certain page are not necessarily construed as membership
lists, it would set a fascinating legal precedent for someone to try them
as such.

Not to disagree necessarily, but I wouldn't allow Facebook's privacy (or data access) policies to dictate research ethics either...

PAPER ONE

The Organizational Blog as a Boundary Object: The Roles and Dilemmas of Government Agency Bloggers

Annette Agerdal-Hjermind (Department of Business Communication, Business and Social Sciences, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark)

This article looks at organizational blogger roles and how they both reflect and affect the way knowledge is communicated across department boundaries in a corporate blogging context. The blog is approached from a sociotechnical perspective, addressing and looking into the various roles in a community of practice and the enactment of the bloggers in a transparent context. Empirical examples of discourses at work in an organizational blog are highlighted, and the diverging roles and dilemmas of the blogging employees are discussed. People within the same organization have different goals in relation to the same technology, and the content of the blog and the blog comments are managed differently by the internal bloggers which feel empowered or disempowered. The article pinpoints roles of enactment in a socio-technical perspective through pointing out conflicting goals, roles and the resulting counter discourses and shows examples of how the group of bloggers with the shared narrative tradition is able to mobilize its members and create subgroups for appropriate blog behaviors and changing behavior.

PAPER TWO

Revealing the Socio-Technical Design of Global E-Businesses: A Case of Digital Artists Engaging in Radical Transparency

Constance E. Kampf (Department of Business Communication, Institute for Erhvervskoomunikation, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark)

Global e-businesses such as Google, Amazon and E-bay affect both users and society. How can society begin to understand this duality in the socio-technical affordances of e-business? This paper examines a digital art performance as an example of the tensions between capitalist businesses and the public commons. Using notions of transparency and knowledge as a form of Knowledge Management rooted in Nonaka?s SECI Model, it examines ways in which knowledge about how Google uses the Internet are made explicit through the digital art performance. It discusses the implications for both defining a macro level of socio-technical design and using dimensions of transparency to understand technology based Internet business, positing global Internet business as having two levels of socio-technical design?1) the micro level, dealing with user interaction, and 2) the macro level, dealing with the social design and implications for society inherent in pervasive technology based businesses. The Macro level of design is operationalized through a combination of knowledge management theory and dimensions of transparency.

PAPER THREE

Design Democratization with Communities: Drawing Toward Locally Meaningful Design

Naska Winschiers-Goagoses (Universit?t Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany), Heike Winschiers-Theophilus (School of Information Technology, Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia), Kasper Rodil (Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark), Gereon Koch Kapuire (School of Information Technology, Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia) and Kasper Jensen (School of Information Technology, Polytechnic of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia)

The authors present community drawing as meaningful representations to inform locally valid technology design. They investigate recognition within and across cultural borders, thereby exposing variances of localities. The study contributes to the still scarce body of empirical work on culturally meaningful development of visual representations and recognition, as part of a longitudinal research project in which we co-design a 3D visualization for a specific Namibian pilot site.

PAPER FOUR

An Effective and Quality Approach to Reduce the Turnover Rate for Hair Salon Industry

Jen-Hui Tsai (PhD Program in Management, DaYeh University, Dacun, Changhua, Taiwan), Meng-Chuan Tsai (Department of Human Resource Public Relations, DaYeh University, Dacun, Changhua, Taiwan), Yu-Ming Chung (Department of Chains and Franchising Management, Takming University of Science and Technology, Taipei City, Taiwan) and Chia-Wen Tsai (Department of Information Management, Ming Chuan University, Guishan Township, Taoyuan County, Taiwan)

This study aims to provide an effective approach to reduce the turnover rate and forecast the supply of hair stylists for the hair salon industry. An absorbing Markov chain process was applied in this study to forecast the supply of hair stylists for a hair salon chain. A hair salon chain with 13 salons in Taiwan was investigated as the case in this study. According to its business goals and expansion plans, and considering the firm?s present personnel profiles, the authors estimate the future demand for stylists and reduce the turnover rate for this company. In addition, this study finds that, based on a promotion system, the average turnover rate for hairdressing apprentices decreases from 19.500% to 17.770%, and the training period could be shortened from three years to one year and 11 months. Finally, they also found that the estimated supply of hair salon workers at each hierarchy level from 2010 to 2014 will be insufficient. The findings in this study could provide insights for the human resources department of hair salon industry.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Mission of IJSKD: 

The overall mission of the International Journal of Sociotechnology and Knowledge Development (IJSKD) is to provide a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging research ideas and down-to-earth practices which bridge the social and technical gap within organizations and society at large. At the same time it will provide a forum for considering the ethical issues linked to organizational change and development. It will encourage interdisciplinary texts that discuss current practices as well as demonstrating how the advances of - and changes within - technology affect the growth of society (and vice versa). The aim of the journal is to bring together the expertise of people who have worked practically in a changing society across the world for people in the field of organizational development and technology studies including information systems development and implementation.

Coverage of IJSKD:

This journal will look for practical sociotechnical approaches that can assist practitioners, academics, researchers, and students. A particular focus will be on new ideas and approaches including studies of their practical implementation. Appropriate themes might thus include (but are not restricted to) a sociotechnical perspective on:

?	Applied Ergonomic Critical success factors (and key performance indicators) for organizations and technological implementation
?	Culture and trust within organizations and their relevance to technological artifacts
?	Design and technology development issues including requirements and stakeholder participation
?	E-government and democracy as affected by technological change

Subject: [Air-L] Call for memos- GigaNet workshop on internet governance,
 Geneva, 17-18 May
Message-ID: <CAF6dEd=d5g-2yb77twyxjG-GFZUOrT4db38TSdrDBtbwpTexSg@mail.gmail.com>

*The global governance of the Internet:*

*Intergovernmentalism, multistakeholderism and networks*

* *

*International workshop *

*Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 May 2013*



*A **GigaNet* <http://giga-net.org/>* workshop, organized in cooperation
with the **Programme for the Study of International
Governance*<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>
* at the **Graduate Institute of International and Development
Studies*<http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

* *

*Call for memos*



The unprecedented growth and the fast development of the Internet have
prompted new forms of interaction and collective action, generating a
series of institutional changes, innovations and challenges. Following the
WCIT conference in Dubai, more and more questions have been raised
regarding the role and relevance of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance. In parallel to the policy discussions on the issue,
this two-day workshop proposes a series of scholarly debates on the role of
intergovernmental organizations in Internet governance and on the promises
and limitations of multistakeholderism. The workshop builds on the
proximity to ITU's World Technology Policy Forum and the Multistakeholder
Advisory Group (MAG) consultations for the 2013 Internet Governance Forum
(IGF) and aims to review current research on global Internet policy-making.

We invite five-page long memos that address the role and future of
different models of governance of the Internet, presenting recently
completed research or work in progress. Papers from any discipline or
institution, from emerging as well as established scholars, are
encouraged. Key questions to be addressed include, but are not limited
to, the
following:

?         What are the long-term implications of the failure of the WCIT?
Is talk of an Internet ?Cold War? relevant, or misleading?

?         How can we assess the role of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance?

?         How can cooperation between intergovernmental organizations and
NGOs be structured?

?         What are the potential and limitations of multistakeholder models
of governance?

?         What role do non-hierarchical networks currently play in global
Internet governance, and should that role be increased or diminished?

?         What is the relevance of sovereignty and jurisdiction when the
Internet creates cross-border harm?



Extended abstracts of approximately 800 words can be submitted through the Easy
Chair website<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=giganetgeneva2013>
*.** **It is expected that participants prepare five-page long **memos **that
will be circulated in advance and a 15-minute presentation on the day of
the workshop.*



*IMPORTANT DATES*

Deadline for extended abstracts (of approx. 800 words) submission: *March
18, 2013*.

Decisions will be made by March 25, 2013.

Memos expected by May 3, 2013.

Attendance at the workshop is free and open to all interested parties.



The initial Program Committee includes:

Roxana Radu, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies

Jean-Marie Chenou, University of Lausanne

John Laprise, Program Committee Chair, GigaNet

Milton Mueller, Steering Committee Chair, GigaNet

Anne-Claire Jamart, Programme for the Study of International Governance,
The Graduate Institute

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network
<http://giga-net.org/>(GigaNet) is a scholarly community initiated in
spring 2006 in conjunction
with the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Its four principal objectives
are to: (1) support the establishment of a global network of scholars
specializing in Internet governance issues; (2) promote the development of
Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study, (3)
advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly
defined: and; (4) facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related
matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments,
international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).
Alongside the annual symposium preceding the IGF, five GigaNet regional
workshops have been so far held in Paris, France (2008), Brussels, Belgium
(2009), Seoul, So. Korea (2009), Montreal, Canada (2010), and Washington
D.C, U.S (2011).


The Programme for the Study of International
Governance<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>provides
a forum for scholars of governance and international organizations
to interact with practitioners from the policy world in order to analyze
global governance arrangements across a variety of issues. Offering a
unique platform for innovative research and exchange, scholars engage with
people working at the United Nations in Geneva, in addition to the many
non-governmental actors working on aspects of public and private governance
in international Geneva. The Programme is based at the Graduate Institute
of International and Development Studies <http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

Subject: [Air-L] Facebook researchers: how do you get a list of users
 who like a page?

Deen: Thanks for the tip. This still seems to be pulling likes from objects
rather than page likes (i.e. people who have clicked the like button on the
page). It may just be that this information is not provided through the API.

Angela: I have considered the privacy issues extensively, and I decided (in
accordance with my IRB approved study) that if this particular information
is publicly accessible through the API, then it is appropriate for
inclusion in my research study. That being said, if the information can't
be obtained using the official API, it's not something I personally am
interested in. As a novice to Facebook data collection, I was asking this
as a technical question to verify that I wasn't missing a way to get this
through the API, not "how do I get this information at any cost?" Perhaps I
should have stated that more clearly in my initial question.

Thanks for raising the point about different conceptions of privacy. I'm
aware of the differences between EU/UK and US privacy considerations. If we
go by the AoIR ethics working group report<http://aoir.org/reports/ethics.pdf>,
the risk to users who control their own privacy settings and what
information is available through the API is minimal and no rights or
expectations of privacy are violated. This would also conceive of the users
from the position of agency rather than as subjects, as they control
privacy settings and what information is available through the API (as Deen
pointed out above). I personally think that line of reasoning meets the
burden of deontological scrutiny, but I welcome debate on this issue.

Finally, I'm not reconstructing a list of page likes from other data (if
that was what you were implying) or using any kind of data manipulation to
derive identities or personal information. All that being said, I don't
necessarily think that information is "off limits" depending on the
particular considerations of a study, but that's a different debate all
together. I'd be happy to continue this discussion off list if you'd like
to find out more about my study and how I plan to use/report the data.

Jean: I agree completely. In my opinion, just because Facebook says user
information is "private" doesn't mean it's compromising or poses a risk for
harm. That's what the IRB process determines.

Hmm, it looks like you can pull usernames and IDs of likers for FB 
objects other than pages (e.g. statuses, photos, etc.). But unless I'm 
missing something in the documentation, it looks like all it offers for 
pages is the total N of likes. Weird. ~DEEN

The editorial team invites chapter proposals for a collective interdisciplinary work to be published in 2014 by IGI Global.

Proposal Submission Deadline: March 30, 2013

Introduction:

Inspired by narratologist G?rard Genette?s seminal work Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation (translated by Jane E. Lewin, Cambridge University Press, 1997), the paratext framework is now used in many fields in order to assess, measure, analyze, and understand the elements that provide the thresholds allowing us to ?step inside? digital objects. When it was originally published in 1987, Genette?s theory pertained to the book, and Genette defined the paratext as those liminal devices which wrap or accompany the text in order to make it both present and presentable ? from titles to tables of content and from footnotes to notebooks.  Yet even in 1987, Genette envisioned extensions of the concept of paratext for new applications to other medias. Today, this important and far-reaching framework is recognized by scholars in many disciplines as a means to study our access to, and understanding of Web content, digital arts, online catalogues, database architecture, and information practices, to name  a few. This book seeks to revisit Genette?s seminal theory for the digital age through a collaborative outlook and an interdisciplinary perspective.

Objective of the Book:

 

The overarching goal of this book is to help scholars from various fields find an interdisciplinary framework and common language with which to study digital objects.

Papers proposed should support one or more of the following objectives:

- To review and assess the potential and parameters of paratextuality in relation to theoretical frameworks originating in various disciplines, with special attention given to digital objects;

- To offer examples of current uses of paratextuality in the study of digital culture and digital objects;

- To show and assess critically the value of paratextuality as a unifying framework for studying various aspects of digital environments from their architecture to their use;

- To propose frameworks with potential applications in many disciplines and to discuss analytical, practical and aesthetic implications from an interdisciplinary perspective;

- To offer a rereading of G?rard Genette? work for the digital context, in order to address some of this key theorist?s own, avowed omissions (such as the paratext pertaining to translations, accompanying documentary dossiers, illustrations, and non-textual material);

- To provide an exploration, and possibly an extension or upheaval of some of the suggested limits proposed by Genette, such as authorial sanction, which now is being challenged in the digital context;

- To present an assessment of the necessary considerations needed to make this theoretical framework transfer from its original object of study (the printed book) to its current, multiple, hybrid, and digital objects of study, which include: scholarly communication, citations, born-digital literature, e-publications, movies, games, retrieval systems, keyword creation, etc.

- To provide a reference work permitting scholars and students from the multiple disciplines using the paratext framework to share a common  lexicon and conceptual toolbox when referring to the boundaries, limitations, and applications of this framework to digital culture.

 

Target Audience:

This book is aimed at scholars, students, and professionals working in the following fields:

 
Bibliometrics
Cultural Studies
Digital Arts
Digital Literature
Database Design
Information Architecture
Library and Information Science
Literary Studies
Media Studies

Message-ID: <CD5BF0B2.5A84A%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIRists,

Edited by Stephen A.J. Ward, _Global Media Ethics: Problems and
Perspectives_ is now out from Wiley-Blackwell:

<http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/toc/1405183926/ref=dp_toc?ie=UTF8&n=2662

>From the publisher's blurb:
Global Media Ethics  is the first comprehensive cross?cultural exploration
of the conceptual and practical issues facing media ethics in a global
world. A team of leading journalism experts investigate the impact of major
global trends on responsible journalism.   The first full?length, truly
global textbook on media ethics   Explores how current global changes in
media promote and inhibit responsible journalism  Includes relevant and
timely ethical discussions based on major trends in journalism and global
media  Questions existing frameworks in Media Ethics in light of the impact
of global media  Contributors are leading experts in global journalism and
communication.

(In the name of full disclosure: yes, I have a chapter in there, on "Global
Media Ethics? Issues, Requirements, Challenges, Resolutions".)

The book will be of interest to those wanting to take up media ethics,
including the various shifts brought about by "citizen journalism" as
afforded by networked digital media; further, the collection is indeed
exceptional for its inclusion of voices and perspectives not always
represented in English-language work of this sort.

Enjoy!

Surveillance and the Mediation of Big Data

4S session(s) organized by Torin Monahan and Anders Albrechtslund

4S Annual Meeting (http://www.4sonline.org/meeting)
San Diego, CA
October 9 - 12, 2013

The ?big data? paradigm signals an intensification and distribution of algorithmic surveillance across multiple organizational and geographical scales. More than an exponential advancement in storage and processing capacity, big data currently operates as a fluid metaphor for the potential of data analytics to intelligently predict and respond to the needs of individuals and institutions. Clearly STS inquiry could fruitfully deconstruct the technological deterministic slant of discourses surrounding big data so that attention could be drawn to the values being inscribed in algorithms, the profound materiality of cloud computing, the control dimensions of pervasive software, and the active cultivation of new subjectivities as people come to understand themselves through their data doubles. Surveillance is key to these processes, as the capture and processing of data is frequently oriented toward some form of intervention or control. Rather than viewing surveillance through big data as completely automated or neutral processes, this panel seeks to investigate the many forms of mediation and politics inherent in big-data applications.

Possible areas of inquiry might include:
?      Data fusion, profiling, and prediction by security organizations.
?      The crafting of new subjectivities as individuals embrace ?quantified self? movements.
?      The social and political effects of ?filter bubbles? erected by various search platforms.
?      Gamification of interaction with customers and clients as public and private organizations seek to capitalize on (and control) user involvement.
?      Activist and civil-society harnessing of data repositories and sensing devices to achieve progressive outcomes.
?      The optimization of urban infrastructures through ?smart? information technologies.
?      Health technologies used for documentation, analyses, predictions and recommendations.

Subject: [Air-L] Mixed methods Internet research
Message-ID: <007401ce1a71$919830e0$b4c892a0$@hine@btinternet.com>

I'm currently writing a review article on mixed methods Internet research,
and I'd really appreciate suggestions I might have overlooked of examples
where researchers combine qualitative and quantitative methods, or
large-scale and small-scale research designs in understanding Internet
phenomenon. I'm looking, for example, for instances where researchers
combine analysis of log file data, or twitter traffic etc with an in-depth
ethnographic or interview-based study. I'm also interested in mixed mode
studies, which combine online and offline research or use both born-digital
data and studies rooted in offline settings to answer a single research
question. Any suggestions gratefully received - I'm happy to take replies
offlist and then share the outcomes with the list.

 

Best wishes,

Hello all,

An important clarification I was recently asked about, so I thought I would
share with you.

The paper for the proceeding is NOT due at the time of submission for the
call for proposals.  Presentations at the conference will be reviewed by
the Journal of Emerging Learning Design Editorial Board and invitations to
appear in the proceedings will be issued not long afterward.  Papers for
accepted invitations would be due late summer/early fall 2013 and the
proceedings issue of the ELDJ will be published in early 2014. For
questions or details please email eldj at mail.montclair.edu <
eldj at mail.montclair.edu>.

I know many of you are doing things that are worth showcasing.  I hope
you'll consider submitting something and, even if you do not, please do
consider joining us in June.  At $75, including meals, this is the best
deal around.

best,
aj

Call for Papers: Media, Religion and In/vulnerability 

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

Abstract Deadline: April 8 2013

The Mediating Religion Network (http://www.mediatingreligion.org/) aims to contribute several sessions to 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". We believe that scholars of religion and media can make a valuable contribution to academic discussion of this important theme. 

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 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.

Specific topics could include: 

- Migration, Diaspora and Identities: What kinds of vulnerabilities are religious groups exposed to as a result of migration and living in diaspora? How are media used to strengthen or to weaken diasporic religious identities, networks and practices? How are narratives of blame or trust, prejudice or persecution directed at religious and non-religious groups represented, promoted or contested?

- Transitions across media and public spaces: What kinds of in/vulnerabilities do religious groups experience as they embark on transitions from occupying (often marginalised) diasporic public spheres/spaces into more mainstream public spheres? How do religious ideas and organisations make the transition into the public spotlight following blameworthy allegations of fundamentalism, corruption, sexual abuse and how does this alter understandings or involve risks? Are some religious groups more invulnerable than others in these transitions, and if so, what kind of social and cultural capital is involved in tackling blame and establishing trust? 

- Authority and Power: How do print, electronic and digital media strengthen or undermine religious structures of control? How are threats, risks and dangers associated with religion represented and mediated? Who/what is represented as blameworthy or trustworthy?

- Knowledge and Memory: How do religious communities use media to (re)construct their past and future and address issues of risk, blame and trust? How are media used religiously in times of conflict, death and disaster? How do religious and non-religious media reinforce or contest ?orthodox? religious knowledge? What forms of experimental knowledge are mobilised by religious groups?

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. Please feel free to contact Tim or marie.gillespie at open.ac.uk to discuss paper proposals.

Subject: [Air-L] Users response to organizations' social media
Message-ID: <CANQKn824Xh05T=SSOOkvXYfoejqjLwTun_miNnNoriD2UCR4TQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all, I need your help/advice. I'm working with an organization to
gauge how users/audiences are using its suite of social media applications
(facebook, twitter, wordpress, etc.), I'm looking for a scale or instrument
that measures consumption patterns like: how often they're following the
social media, if they're even aware of the social media presence, what
they're most interested in from the social media for this organization, and
how they're reacting/responding to the organization's presence/messages on
social media.

Essentially: something to capture lay users' reception of an organization's
social media. If you have any suggestions, please email me at
rmitra at purdue.edu. Thanks, in advance!

Subject: [Air-L] Interoperability issues in "Big Data"?
Message-ID: <513897F4.4030707@izew.uni-tuebingen.de>

Dear list,

I am a political scientist involved in security studies. Recently, I 
have become increasingly interested in the application of algorithmic 
data mining in security operations. Although, from conversations with 
practicioners, I get the feeling that the promise of Big Data as a 
powerful tool for security governance might be rather a desire than 
something that is actually happening.

Public authorities seem to experience a number of problems in terms of 
data sharing, thus thwarting the creation of security-related Big Data 
warehouses in the first place. Since my disciplinary background does not 
exactly enable me to assess these issues, my question would be: could 
anyone provide some hints at good literature that deals with 
interoperability problems of databases (in a way that someone from 
outside the IT community can follow)?

Best wishes and thanks in advance,
Matthias

Dear Colleagues,

Sorry for cross-posting! I just wanted to announce the publication of my new book.

De-convergence of Global Media Industries (2013, Routledge)
Dal Yong Jin (Simon Fraser University) 

http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415623438/

Please see below for a short description and table of contents.

Description

Convergence has become a buzzword, referring on the one hand to the integration between computers, television, and mobile devices or between print, broadcast, and online media and on the other hand, the ownership of multiple content or distribution channels in media and communications. Yet while convergence among communications companies has been the major trend in the neoliberal era, the splintering of companies, de-convergence, is now gaining momentum in the communications market.

As the first comprehensive attempt to analyze the wave of de-convergence of the global media system in the context of globalization, this book makes sense of those transitions by looking at global trends and how global media firms have changed and developed their business paradigm from convergence to de-convergence. It traces the complex relationship between media industries, culture, and globalization by exploring it in a transitional yet contextually grounded framework, employing a political economic analysis integrating empirical data analysis.

Table of Contents

1.      Introduction 
Part 1: Convergence of the Global Media Industry 
2.      Media Convergence of the Global Media Industry
3.      Transformation of the Broadcasting Industry
4.      Transnationalizaiton of the Advertising Industry
5.      Convergence of the Movie Industries 
Part 2: De-convergence of the Global Information Systems and Culture 
6.      Restructuring of the Global Telecommunications System
7.      De-convergence of the information and Software Industries
8.      De-converging Convergence in the Global Communication Industries
9.      Convergence vs. De-convergence in News and Journalism
10.    Conclusion

Hey Matthias-

This is not exactly what you are looking for, but there was a decent writeup of a case study from a new big data book in Slate:
http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/03/big_data_excerpt_how_mike_flowers_revolutionized_new_york_s_building_inspections.html

I don't really think it's about big data, I think it is more about disparate data sources and the failure of interoperability (until people in the case study came along, that is, but it's also about understanding your data), which is what you are asking about. I wouldn't think the book is very technical about it, and although there are technical issues there are probably also human-side issues, such as I am sure the different departments don't have the time to hang out with each other, share info, and when they built their own databases they were probably all offshoots of the pre-computer paper-based (or whatever) data methods each department already had.

I guess I am saying you are not actually asking about database interoperability, which is really just a basic computing issue and not really that hard in theory. What you are asking about is a slew of human, social, political, funding, etc., issues. It's socio-technical systems (STS).

-Nat.

*Thus, we are looking for:*

* ...*Feedback *re potential areas to analyze and summarize (will be listed
in the updated CFP).
* ...*Authors* that take a summative approach to a particular area of
virtual worlds.
* ...*Editors* who will join the Managing editor in leading this unique
issue.

Message-ID: <BAY163-W646692180EBF6E6D93372695E60@phx.gbl>




Dear Air-L,



I thought I should follow up with a small but perhaps not so insignificant
update on my query to the list from January (see below) where I outlined my
difficulties in accessing 'historical'
Twitter data, specifically a simple search of all tweets using a specific
hashtag over around a two year period.

 

Without getting too
prematurely excited, it does seem that Twitter has listened to complaints that
this rather basic search functionality should be provided to general users, not
just big data analysis companies. Today when I searched for a specific hashtag
in the ?discover? tab, I noticed that a user can indeed now go back (apparently)
indefinitely and read all tweets using a particular hashtag.



Very best,

Scott

Message-ID: <CANT2WrOBaA-MJ-9+XW34_192=md_N+EOVuaUHVYMv4P0u9p9=Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks:

I got the following request from a colleague and all I could come up with
was a few posts on Google Plus. If you can think of any references for my
friend's students can you please email me off-list? If there is call, I
will post whatever bibliography I come up with.
----------
I have an undergraduate student who is studying Seapunk, and I'm wondering
if you have any good suggestions for texts or articles addressing
fringe/edge contemporary genres almost exclusively linked to social media.
 I'm finding a handful of sources, but quite a few of them are uneven or
more dated than I'd hoped.  Any pointers you might have would be welcome!
------------------------


Thanks much!

Meryl

Hmm, just tested the search API with an old hashtag and it looks like 
it's still only trawling up to a week back in time. Maybe Twitter hasn't 
rolled out historical access to the API yet, or maybe I'm just 
#doinitwrong. ~DEEN

It's working for me on a bunch of different hashes. Make sure you're searching from the discover tab and you select "Tweets: all" at the top of the list (rather than "top").

It only loads one screen, so you have to continually scroll to load more (a limiting factor, imho). More bad news: does not work in Tweetdeck and not easily exportable.

tnx,
kc

I would bet it's the former - precisely to improve the search experience for (web) users while keeping the choke on API-enabled data access and storage?

By the way:

I note that search in the official iOS app doesn't have the "all" search results function, which is very far from ideal in many circumstances. For example, in a crisis situation there are times when I might want to view all tweets for a search (a location name for example) not just all the popular or socially "relevant" tweets.

Subject: [Air-L] approval of the new AOIR ethics document
Message-ID: <CAFcFmG1Ck0JWeX9+44DupTT6ps7AdqujGNEnkYR16Yq5xCoo-g@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends,



 **

Ethical Decision-Making and Internet Research:

Recommendations from the AoIR Ethics Working Committee (Version 2.0)

**

It is with great pleasure we announce that the 2012 AOIR Ethics guidelines
document was approved by an overwhelming majority of the general membership
of the Association of Internet Researchers and is finally available online.



You can find the 2012 document at http://aoir.org/documents/ethics-guide/,
along with a link to the wiki, where we?re starting to build a compendium
of resources that we hope will continue to grow. http://ethics.aoir.org/



This 2012 document does not replace the 2002 guidelines, but lives
alongside and builds from it.  We hope both documents continue to provide a
useful resource for researchers, students, academic institutions, and
regulatory bodies.



The 2012 document reflects nearly four years of collaborative effort of the
ethics working committee.  As with the first document, we believe it
represents the diversity of the general membership, but is by no means the
final word.  The ethics working committee will continue to explore and
debate how new experiences, issues and insights affiliated with Internet
research evoke ethical challenges and demand ethically justifiable
resolutions.



We want to say thanks to the many AOIR members who contributed in a variety
of ways to the document, especially our fellow members of the 2002-2012
ethics working committee.



Thanks to:



Maria Bakardjeiva, (Canada),

Andrea Baker (USA),

David Brake (UK),

Charles Ess (Norway)

Radhika Gajjala (USA)

Camilla Gronholm (Finland)

Jeremy Hunsinger (Canada)

Mark D. Johns (USA)

Soraj Hongladaram (Thailand)

Janet Salmons (USA)

Susannah Stern (USA)

Eva Svedmark (Sweden)

Leslie Tkach (Japan)

Leslie Regan Shade (Canada)

Thanks for distributing this new resource widely among your networks and
colleagues.  If you have any questions or want to contribute to the wiki
(hint hint), please don?t hesitate to email us,



Best Regards



Annette Markham and Elizabeth Buchanan

Hello Meryl,

I don't have academic work in mind regarding this, but you can look for
music critics such as Adam Harper (
http://dummymag.com/features/2012/07/12/adam-harper-vaporwave/),  There
have been some quite general commentary about seapunk, I found this one in
my research history :
http://flavorwire.com/346153/do-seapunks-have-a-right-to-be-pissed-at-rihanna
.

Also this New Yorker article on Harlem Shake has been raising the point of
internet-centric aesthetics  :
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/sashafrerejones/2013/02/shake-what-your-internet-friend-gave-you.html#ixzz2LiZ2yrLo
.

Also, there are the old "month in : genre" columns on Pitchfork (
http://pitchfork.com/search/?query=month+in&min_year=1999&max_year=2008)
and I have a Tim Finney article on the short path of "UK Funky" if that
might be of some interest. We published the article in french for the music
review I handle, Audimat, but I can look for the original english file in
my files.

I hope this helps. Keep me informed with what you find, as this is a topic
of interest for me. In fact I have been reflecting on my own master thesis,
a few years ago, about the dynamics of music genres using the work on
litterature of Gerard Genette and Jean-Marie Schaeffer, among others.

Best,

Guillaume

Subject: [Air-L] youth and online recruitment and interviews
Message-ID: <2EDB7357-EB39-44D3-A07C-A3F898953470@uoregon.edu>

Hi all, 
I am looking for resources and advice on recruitment and research with youth in online spaces. I am hoping to talk to 13-17 year old LGBTQ youth about their experiences with anti-bullying outreach efforts. I'm hoping to carry out interviews through Facebook chat, Google chat and email. I recognize that getting this study approved by the IRB at my institution will be quite the challenge. 

Does anyone have any suggestions or models for navigating this process? Getting parental consent won't work for this project, so I'm looking for ways to address issues of anonymity, etc. 

I would greatly appreciate it!

All the best,

Erica,

This is an important topic and your study could make a real
contribution. But...I know that my institution's IRB would not approve
the study as you have described it. If you are interviewing youth
under 18, parents must consent. I am curious about why you think
parents would not give consent? Personally, I think parents want to
protect their kids from bullying and their perspectives might be an
interesting complement to the youth interviews and add more depth to
your study.

A suggestion: you might want to stick with one social media site, to
simplify your process. You will also need to make sure that your study
does not violate the user parameters of the community-- for recruiting
or for collecting data..

This site may be of interest: http://www.ncjj.org/irb/index.asp

Also, you might find chapters in Cases in Online Interview Research
(2012) of interest.
- Chapter 3. Case: Stranger in a Strange Land: The Challenges and
Benefits of Online Interviews in the Social Networking Space Allison
Deegan
Allison discusses issues and challenges of a study that involved
interviews conducted in Facebook using chat, with young (but over age
18) participants.

- Chapter 4. Case: Interviewing in Virtual Worlds: An Application of
Best Practices	Jonathan Cabiria
Jon was able to convince his IRB to allow (adult) participants'
avatars to "sign" the informed consent, in a study about LGBT
experiences in virtual worlds as compared to "real" worlds. He offers
his insights into finer points of protection of digital
representations of human subjects.

(The book is on Amazon, print or Kindle, as well as other booksellers.)

I'f be happy to chat with you if you want to contact me off list.

All the best,

Hi Erica,

I was just reading a very interesting special issue of Qualitative Inquiry
on ethics and research practice (2007, april:
http://qix.sagepub.com/content/13/3.toc ).  You might find some useful
concepts/cases/resources to draw on, as your research seems more related to
interviews, youth, and sensitive (LGBT) topics than internet research, per
se (the internet seems only the venue for interviews, as you describe it,
although I may be missing something)

I also recently ran across a very good article in Qualitative Social work:
'Becoming Participant:' Problematizing 'informed consent' in participatory
research with young people in care.   http://qsw.sagepub.com/content/7/4/427
The authors engage in some very refined discussions of the slippery and
problematic notion of 'informed consent.'   The research design
(participatory action design) is also particularly interesting (and very
well done, from what I read into this depiction of it anyway), which might
be of interest to you, in helping to construct a model for how to engage
with the youth you're interested in studying.   These researchers found the
IRB to be a good collaborator (not adversarial, as we mostly hear about) in
helping them determine a good methodology for working with youth.

There are researchers who have made compelling (and persuasive) arguments
to ethics research board committees about the importance of waiving
parental (or documented) informed consent, particuarly for target
populations who need to be studied but who would be potentially harmed if
their parents knew about their behaviors or if their signed/documented
consent was the only link between their personally identifiable information
and the interview data. For example, Kathryn Daley, a doctoral student at
RMIT, writes a great review of her situation in working with her ethics
review boards/university to get approval and supportive mentorship for her
study of youth and illicit drug use.
http://www.academia.edu/1026262/The_ethics_of_doing_research_with_young_drug_users

The challenge is not just to "navigate" the IRB or ethics approval process,
but to create a solid research design, which will improve your chances of
having an ethics board help you figure out how to accomplish your goals,
even though these might not fit the typical scenario.  There is a lot of
precedent for working with youth without gaining informed consent.  There's
also precedent for waiving parental consent or documentation of informed
consent.

I also recommend Raymond Lee's (1993, Sage) Doing Reserach on Sensitive
Topics, which addresses many issues you might confront in your research.

Cheers,

Annette

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 coined<https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/MoreIntro>
 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? Is the baseline still the offline,
or are findings to be grounded in 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
Natalia Sanchez 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

Apart from the Summer Schools, the other opportunity for training and
organized workshops (as well as presenting a paper from a project that you
worked on during the Summer School) is the Winter School. The Digital
Methods Winter School 2013 was concerned with the data sprint and the book
sprint <https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2013> (and other
short-form method). The 2012 Winter School was dedicated to "Interfaces for
the Cloud <https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/WinterSchool2012>" and API
critique, where Metahaven, the critical Dutch design group, presented their
work that actually renders the politics of the cloud. See Daniel van der
Velden's article<http://www.e-flux.com/journal/captives-of-the-cloud-part-i/>
 (including part

*The global governance of the Internet:*

*Intergovernmentalism, multistakeholderism and networks*

* *

*International workshop *

*Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 May 2013*



*A **GigaNet* <http://giga-net.org/>* workshop, organized in cooperation
with the **Programme for the Study of International
Governance*<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>
* at the **Graduate Institute of International and Development
Studies*<http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

* *

*Call for memos*



The unprecedented growth and the fast development of the Internet have
prompted new forms of interaction and collective action, generating a
series of institutional changes, innovations and challenges. Following the
WCIT conference in Dubai, more and more questions have been raised
regarding the role and relevance of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance. In parallel to the policy discussions on the issue,
this two-day workshop proposes a series of scholarly debates on the role of
intergovernmental organizations in Internet governance and on the promises
and limitations of multistakeholderism. The workshop builds on the
proximity to ITU's World Technology Policy Forum and the Multistakeholder
Advisory Group (MAG) consultations for the 2013 Internet Governance Forum
(IGF) and aims to review current research on global Internet policy-making.

We invite five-page long memos that address the role and future of
different models of governance of the Internet, presenting recently
completed research or work in progress. Papers from any discipline or
institution, from emerging as well as established scholars, are
encouraged. Key questions to be addressed include, but are not limited
to, the
following:

?         What are the long-term implications of the failure of the WCIT?
Is talk of an Internet ?Cold War? relevant, or misleading?

?         How can we assess the role of intergovernmental organizations in
Internet governance?

?         How can cooperation between intergovernmental organizations and
NGOs be structured?

?         What are the potential and limitations of multistakeholder models
of governance?

?         What role do non-hierarchical networks currently play in global
Internet governance, and should that role be increased or diminished?

?         What is the relevance of sovereignty and jurisdiction when the
Internet creates cross-border harm?



Extended abstracts of approximately 800 words can be submitted through the Easy
Chair website<https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=giganetgeneva2013>
*.** **It is expected that participants prepare 5 to 7-page long **memos **that
will be circulated in advance and a 15-minute presentation on the day of
the workshop.*



*IMPORTANT DATES*

Deadline for extended abstracts (of approx. 800 words) submission: *March
18, 2013*.

Decisions will be made by March 25, 2013.

Memos expected by May 3, 2013.

Attendance at the workshop is free and open to all interested parties.



The initial Program Committee includes:

Roxana Radu, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies

Jean-Marie Chenou, University of Lausanne

John Laprise, Program Committee Chair, GigaNet

Milton Mueller, Steering Committee Chair, GigaNet

Anne-Claire Jamart, Programme for the Study of International Governance,

***

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network
<http://giga-net.org/>(GigaNet) is a scholarly community initiated in
spring 2006 in conjunction
with the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF). Its four principal objectives
are to: (1) support the establishment of a global network of scholars
specializing in Internet governance issues; (2) promote the development of
Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study, (3)
advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly
defined: and; (4) facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related
matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments,
international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).
Alongside the annual symposium preceding the IGF, five GigaNet regional
workshops have been so far held in Paris, France (2008), Brussels, Belgium
(2009), Seoul, So. Korea (2009), Montreal, Canada (2010), and Washington
D.C, U.S (2011).


 The Programme for the Study of International
Governance<http://graduateinstitute.ch/internationalgovernance/welcome.html>provides
a forum for scholars of governance and international organizations
to interact with practitioners from the policy world in order to analyze
global governance arrangements across a variety of issues. Offering a
unique platform for innovative research and exchange, scholars engage with
people working at the United Nations in Geneva, in addition to the many
non-governmental actors working on aspects of public and private governance
in international Geneva. The Programme is based at the Graduate Institute
of International and Development Studies <http://www.graduateinstitute.ch/>

Subject: [Air-L] call for participants for AOIR panel - That was Then,
	This is Now
Message-ID: <513DF382.5080909@gmail.com>

We would like to have one or two more people on a panel for AOIR on
social change.

Please let me know if you would be interested in participating on the
following panel:

That was Then, This is Now

This panel begins with a thought exercise.Each panelist has chosen a 
classic text from their home discipline and asks: what would happen if 
the author of that text revisited that topic today, using tools, 
techniques, or perspectives shaped by recent innovations in information 
technology and/or the digital humanities?We are building on a question 
that one of our panelists, the historian of computing Nathan Ensmenger, 
asks in his article "The Digital Construction of Technology: Rethinking 
the History of Computers in Society," about Bruno Latour's ground 
breaking ethnography of scientific practice, Laboratory Life.If Latour 
were to revisit the Salk Institute, what would he make of the pervasive 
presence of computers, computer-based instruments, and computational 
metaphors?How would this change the ways in which he did his research, 
his interpretation of the role of (increasingly digital) inscription 
devices, or his conclusions about the ways in which social interaction 
shapes the formation of scientific knowledge?Each of our panelists will 
perform a similar thought experiment as a starting point for thinking 
about the historical transformations happening both to one's object of 
analysis and to the practice of scholarship in the Internet era.




Please keep in mind that abstracts are due March 13th.
Apologies for the short notice,
Ilana

I checked this with #nickcleggsfault - around three years old and the origin is known. It brought up a lot of tweets, back to the very day the meme started but not back to the very first use of the hashtag. Be wary if using it that it may not be gathering all of the tweets/may still have a time limit on how far back you can search.

Thanks for that Cassian, 

For the hashtags I'm looking at, I don't know the precise origin so have no way to know how compete the results from these search queries are. Now I know to be cautious. Slightly frustrating, of course. I'd like to exist in a Twitter world where 'show all' really means all.

Subject: [Air-L] Economic, Forum, and Network Data from Glitch,
 a casual Flash-based Freemium MMO
Message-ID: <CACqYdy-TvAcyJKmGOG9x7OPd6ZO6bD7reR9GaPr-OrQhQVA=Nw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

In October 2011, I began collecting economic data from the online game
Glitch using its API; I continued collecting up through its closure in
December 2012. Over the course of its short life the game maintained a
passionate user base and made several unconventional design choices.
(My interest was initially piqued because the quite casual game uses a
skill training method similar to that of EVE Online, a hardcore MMO.)
Having cleared it with Tiny Speck, I am releasing my data for download
by people interesting in studying Glitch and/or the behaviors of
virtual economies.

The data comprises:

 * A record of auctions from between November 17, 2011 and December 10, 2012.
 * A record of all sales via in-game storage display boxes from
between September 9, 2012, and December 9, 2012.
 * A scrape of the game's forums (raw HTML)
 * Digests of the forums
 * A network of explicit friendships between players
 * DyNetML networks generated from forum digests and friendship
networks. (DyNetML is an XML-based format that is used by the ORA
network analysis tool.)

I've also published a tech report describing the data and game in more
detail through the Institute of Software Research at Carnegie Mellon.
More details about all of this are available at
http://www.doeverythingforever.com/projects/the-glitch-dataset/

If you think that using this data can help further your research,
please download a copy and give the tech report a read.

Best,

pml

Call for Papers
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 47
Big Island, Hawaii, January 6-9, 2014

Minitrack: Crowdsourcing Content Production and Online Knowledge Repositories
Track: Digital and Social Media
As various forms of collaboration are enabled (and constrained) by the affordances available in social media, researchers are investigating a range of issues including: 1) the diverse ways in which people collaborate to create, manage, curate and manipulate online content and how these activities affect digital repositories; 2) how those who manage these repositories are responding to the dynamics of online co-creation of content; 3) the dynamics of crowdsourced online collaborations and online communities of practice; and 4) the ways in which we can best describe the socio-technical interaction networks that facilitate and inhibit mass knowledge production.
In this mini track we are interested in empirical and theoretical work that addresses these and related socio-technical issues.  Papers of interest will examine communities of online knowledge repositories such as YouTube, Yahoo! Answers, Wikipedia, and others and may address in this context topics such as:
. The socio-technical dynamics of crowdsourcing and mass knowledge production sites
. Vandalism and trolling in online mass knowledge production sites
. Conflict and cooperation in content production sites
. Issues of gender in collaborative content production sites
. Global, cross-cultural and international aspects of content production and online intercultural collaborations in online content creation communities
. Managing ethics in online mass knowledge production communities
. Building, maintaining and ending social relationships on online repositories sites
. Social question answering and collaborative information seeking behaviors
. Challenges and opportunities of digital curation
. Standards and quality of digital content online

*Call for Papers*

Themed Issue of New Media and Society: ?10 years of Facebook?

Guest editors: Si?n Lincoln, Liverpool John Moores University, UK and Brady
Robards, Griffith University, Australia

In early 2014 Facebook will have been online for ten years. Over the past
ten years, Facebook has accumulated over a billion users globally, has
achieved an estimated market value of over $100 billion, and has
consistently been the most used social network site when compared to its
competitors to the point of ubiquity. For many, Facebook has transformed
the ways in which we communicate with each other in practically every
aspect of our lives. Facebook has also attracted harsh criticism from users
for its approach to privacy and transparency, and is regularly at odds with
governments and other institutions over regulation and control. Facebook
blurs traditional lines between what is private and what is public, while
often complicating social relations by naming them and making them visible.
The implications associated with the social network?s rise to dominance are
complex and sometimes challenging, from both the micro levels of the
individual through to the macro levels of society more broadly.

In this themed issue ?10 years of Facebook? we wish to explore the current
?state of play? with regards to the social, cultural and political
significance of Facebook. Our aim is to bring together current academic
debates surrounding this ubiquitous social network site to assess how,
after ten years in existence, Facebook has made its mark on contemporary
society as a space for social, cultural and political interactions. In
addition, we wish to explore new and emerging approaches to the study of
Facebook that interrogate the often complex relationships between the site,
its users and everyday contexts.

We welcome short 250 word abstracts that reflect on ?10 years of Facebook?,
taking stock of the impact the site has had on contemporary social life.
While attending to this broad aim, proposed articles will also need to
address a more specific theme. Potential themes include, but are not
limited to, the following:

   - Identity
   - Performance and representation
   - Youth cultures and subcultures
   - Privacy
   - Friendship
   - Relationships
   - Fandom
   - Age/ageing
   - Before life and after life
   - Political activism
   - Social movements
   - Regulation and control
   - Trolling

Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted to Si?n Lincoln (
s.lincoln at ljmu.ac.uk) by Wednesday 10th April 2013. On the basis of these
short abstracts, invitations to submit full papers (of no more than 8000
words) will then be sent out in late April. Full papers will be due by
August 31, and will undergo the usual New Media & Society peer review
procedure. Invitation to submit a full paper in no way guarantees
acceptance into the issue.

Subject: [Air-L] Social media & crime detection
Message-ID: <CANUt1T6oXBLYUmeSN75mb5wz=MqNBC9nDOsK+QGns2DFAjKEzQ@mail.gmail.com>

For my thesis I am studying social media use for crime detection and law
enforcement.

My aim is to investigate people?s perception of boundaries for social media
use by the police: Where should these boundaries lie according to the
public?

As mediating variables I am considering trust in the police and fear of
crime.



At the moment, I am building the theoretical framework of my thesis. As it
is a rather new field,

I would highly appreciate any recommendations for working papers or
literature about social media usage in the security sector.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Ok enough folks are asking...

So this was not my stipulation but I still think a pretty cool one. I 
suspect if you are guy out there writing your magnus opus on Kim Dotcom, 
which would be rather interesting :) they would gladly take your 
contribution. What Simon told me is that they have so many male 
contributors to the collection they are going out of their way to seek 
some female ones. Seems reasonable and hopefully they can find one but I 
pretty sure it is not set in stone.

I "get" giving a voice to a gender he's trampled.
I don't buy that the author's gender matters in doing that.

I don't want to get in the middle of this discussion :-)  but it reminded me of a loosely related topic that has been flowing through my email the last few days.  Contributors to the Internet Engineering Task Force discussion list <http://www.ietf.org/list/discussion.html> have been debating the need for "Diversity in IETF Leadership" and "Mentoring."  It seems to me that someone who could engage them on these issues - about which they seem to be earnest, if not terribly sophisticated - could make a significant and meaningful contribution to the IETF's policies and practices.

For the 2 threads on "Diversity in IETF Leadership" and "Mentoring," see 

https://www.ietf.org/ibin/c5i?mid=6&rid=48&gid=0&k1=933&k3=12158&tid=1363291991

One thing we're forgetting here: that this piece will be a part of an
exhibit whose artist is seeking a female scholar. I'm willing to bet
that the choice of a female scholar writing on Dotcom is an artistic
choice that may be complementing the ideas presented in the exhibit.
As much as we, scholars, have our understanding of issues, so do
artists, which may or may not align with ours. This should be
respected, I think... Or, I'm highly theorizing and giving the artist
the benefit of doubt... Either way, I don't see this request as
sexist, offensive, or uninformed.

Having gender as a selection criteria is sexist, by definition.
Presuming that only women can defend women is offensive, to both genders.

Please share widely...

Call for Proposals to Host the Internet Research (IR) conferences in 2015 and 2016.

The Executive Committee of the Association of Internet Researchers is seeking statements of interest for hosting the annual meeting of the Association in October of 2015 and 2016. The Internet Research conference draws an international group of researchers and practitioners to present and discuss work at the cutting edge in understanding the social and cultural aspects of the internet. Organizations or consortia who may be interested in hosting the conference should contact Lori Kendall at vp (at) aoir.org.

We will provide a guide to a full proposal for those invited to apply. At this stage, we seek an indication of interest and intent. We are most likely to entertain applications for North American locations for 2015 and elsewhere for 2016, but all strong proposals are welcome.

Hosting AoIR provides visibility to your institution and city from researchers from around the world, drawing a group of well-known scholars to your city during the period of the conference and providing lasting connections. Geography still matters in an internet age, and hosting Internet Research represents one way of locating important centers of innovation in social computing.

The most recent conference was held in Salford, UK and the upcoming conferences will be held in Denver, USA and Bangkok, Thailand. (See the full list of locations at http://aoir.org/conferences/past/.) We generally seek hosting cities that are reasonably accessible by international visitors, and provide a range of lodging, dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within reasonable proximity of the venue.

The venue should provide a central hall and breakout meeting rooms for a minimum of 400 attendees, as well as the necessary infrastructure for presentations and high-speed wireless internet access. There are generally 7-8 concurrent presentation rooms over a period of 3 days, plus a day of 3-6 preconferences. The conference generally provides some form of onsite refreshments during the day (snacks, coffee, and in many cases lunch), as well as a banquet and receptions.

The Association generally handles registration, and will (with the aid of a program chair) provide assistance with the infrastructure for the peer review and the publication of selected papers. Officers of AoIR serve on the organizing committee and are involved closely with the planning and execution of the conference. The local hosts are responsible for coordinating all on-site arrangements, contracts, transportation, arrangements with local hotels or other lodging, technology, supporting staff for the event. The hosts should be willing and able to mobilize local support for the conference, including volunteers, fund-raising, and cost-sharing.

At this time, we are seeking brief letters of interest. For those sites the Executive Committee feels are suitable for the upcoming conference, we will provide organizers with instructions for a full proposal, and are happy to work with them to provide a strong proposal. At this time, please provide some indication of what you could offer in terms of hosting. In particular:

1. Who makes up your group, who the proposed local chair would be, and your connection to internet research and AoIR.

2. Information about the venue, including recent conferences held there. We have, in the past, held AoIR in hotels and conference centers, as well as university and research campuses. Please give some indication of the layout of the facility and its proximity to lodging and dining (including less expensive options), as well as to its suitability for a conference like Internet Research.

3. Proposed dates. IR is generally held in early October, and usually over a Thursday-Saturday, with pre-conferences on a Wednesday, though there is some flexibility. It is helpful if we are able to avoid conflicts with other major conferences of interest to attendees.

4. What makes your city and venue particularly attractive to the Internet Research community?


The committee will review letters of interest as they are submitted, through the end of July 2013.

Best,

Lori Kendall
(AoIR Vice President)

Hmmm the more I think the more an information research conference is probably more appropriate for our group

Someone please tell me why it is absurd or offensive or sexist to specifically be looking for a female writer?


What's the context?  Does the museum employ 20 people all of whom are male?  Do they want to diversify?  If so, what's the problem with that?

IMHO, it is not absurd or offensive or sexist if the context is
provided. It is, if the offer is context-less.

Hint: changing female with male helps to see it this way.

Message-ID: <514315E8.5070303@univie.ac.at>

Dear all,

I am looking for studies of online public consultation processes, either 
in the context of e-democracy or in commercial contexts.

Furthermore, are you aware of free/open source systems for that purposes?

I will collect your answers and make them available to the list asap.

Thank you very much for your help!

Katja

PS: A short remark to my last question: I still owe the list a 
collection of replies to the question of the terminology origins and 
usage of "informatisation" and I am still working on this, since there 
has been opening up a whole universe of literature that I was not aware 
of.... (e.g. teleworking in the 1980s.....)...

I am conducting research to understand how video games can be used for increasing information literacy. I needed advice from the community on three things. 

1) Any literature that explicitly discusses variables that need to be measured to access information literacy 
2) Variables and factors that can must be considered when measuring information literacy
3) Studies that actually implemented credible methods to access or measure information literacy gains? 
4) Or credible measures or methodologies to measure information literacy gains after an intervention such as engagement with video games.

Best

This isn't about hiring an employee; it's about paying for a single written
piece.

It isn't about diversifying a workforce; it's about reifying gender
differences.

If you don't see that selecting by gender is sexist, what could that word
possibly mean?

What if they were looking for a male writer?

Someone please tell me why it is absurd or offensive or sexist to
specifically be looking for a female writer? 

 

What's the context?  Does the museum employ 20 people all of whom are male?
Do they want to diversify?  If so, what's the problem with that?

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.

On the e-democracy side, there is Votorola.  It's only a prototype.
http://zelea.com/project/votorola/home.html

There are many others.  I plan to compile a list of those that include
a strong facility of voting, or opinion expression.  I'll post a link
in a week or two, in case it's helpful.

Subject: [Air-L] Secondary Publication is acceptable ?
Message-ID: <CAFKgRurkVVQ-j8L_kAqqhNZuGGrmhYcDKp=Gubj0X2E26=E8RA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I am looking for some international journals on the Internet or ICT
studies that is open to the secondary publication. I have a couple of
empirical papers already published in domestic academic journals in Korean
language 1-3 years ago. I am not sure if it is plausible and acceptable to
submit one of them in English version to an international journal.

According to the guidelines of some international journals, they say that
the secondary publication is acceptable provided that certain conditions
are met such as approval from the both journals, different audience,
aknowledgement,...etc(please refer to the guideline in the bottom).

I would like to know, however,it is acceptable in reality. I would
appreciate any information or experience with the secondary publication.

Many thanks,

James

Acceptable Secondary Publication

  *http://www.icmje.org/publishing_4overlap.html*<http://www.icmje.org/publishing_4overlap.html>

  Certain types of articles, such as guidelines produced by governmental
agencies and professional organizations, may need to reach the widest
possible audience. In such instances, editors sometimes deliberately
publish material that is also being published in other journals, with the
agreement of the authors and the editors of those journals. Secondary
publication for various other reasons, in the same or another language,
especially in other countries, is justifiable and can be beneficial
provided that the following conditions are met.

  1. The authors have received approval from the editors of both journals
(the editor concerned with secondary publication must have a photocopy,
reprint, or manuscript of the primary version).

  2. The priority of the primary publication is respected by a publication
interval of at least 1 week (unless specifically negotiated otherwise by
both editors).

  3. The paper for secondary publication is intended for a different group
of readers; an abbreviated version could be sufficient.

  4. The secondary version faithfully reflects the data and interpretations
of the primary version.

  5. The footnote on the title page of the secondary version informs
readers, peers, and documenting agencies that the paper has been published
in whole or in part and states the primary reference. A suitable footnote
might read: ?This article is based on a study first reported in the [title
of journal, with full reference].?

  Permission for such secondary publication should be free of charge.

  6. The title of the secondary publication should indicate that it is a
secondary publication (complete republication, abridged republication,
complete translation, or abridged translation) of a primary publication. Of
note, the NLM does not consider translations to be ?republications? and
does not cite or index translations when the original article was published
in a journal that is indexed in MEDLINE.

  7. Editors of journals that simultaneously publish in multiple languages
should understand that NLM indexes the primary language version. When the
full text of an article appears in more than one language in a journal
issue (such as Canadian journals with the article in both English and
French), both languages are indicated in the MEDLINE citation (for example,
Mercer K. The relentless challenge in health care. Healthc Manage Forum.
2008 Summer;21(2):4-5. English, French. No abstract available.
PMID:18795553.)

Apologies for cross-posting.

HICSS 2014: CFP Global Virtual Teams Mini-track

We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to the GVT mini-track for HICSS 2014 taking place at the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii from Jan. 6-9th, 2014.

Detailed information about the conference can be found here http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/apahome47.htm and information for potential authors can be found here http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_47/47cfp.pdf

About Global Virtual Teams

Today many business processes, as well as government and scientific projects are executed by geographically dispersed virtual teams.  Team members often do not have the same first language, come from different national cultures, work in different time zones and may be employed in different organizations. These differences, among others, present unique opportunities for management and leadership. This mini-track invites papers that offer insights into the successful operation of global virtual teams.  Session topics include but are not limited to:


  *   Temporal separation and its effects on collaboration

Subject: [Air-L] 2013 Digital Societies and Social Technologies Summer
 Institute - Call for Applications
Message-ID: <EF3F4EBE-B0C4-4E79-888F-BB57069816E2@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

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, and pre-tenure faculty ? 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 THE SUMMER INSTITUTE

Applications are encouraged from academic, industry, NGO, and public sector organizations worldwide.  Lodging, meals, and other onsite costs will be covered for all Summer Institute participants.  Limited funding is also available to offset travel costs if needed.  The number of participants will be determined by funding availability and the fit between applicants? interests and goals.
To be considered 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<mailto:bsbutler at umd.edu> by April 5th, 2013:

* Doctoral students, post doctoral students, pre-tenure faculty 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).

Applications will be reviewed by members of the Summer Institute Advisory Group (see http://casci.umd.edu/2013/03/dsst2013/ for a current list) 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

SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS

Support for the 2013 Summer Institute is currently being provided by the National Science Foundation via Digital Societies and Technology Research Coordination Network, the Consortium for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST), Summer Social Webshop, and the Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) and Human Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL) at the University of Maryland.

Subject: [Air-L] Systematic review of evaluated cyberbullying prevention
 programs aimed at young people
Message-ID: <E979AACCA65E3A49BDE9C303BEDC527E01393DD040@xmail31.ad.ua.ac.be>

Dear colleagues,

We are currently conducting a systematic review of evaluated cyberbullying prevention programs aimed at young people (age 6-18). We are aware that there are cyberbullying prevention programs that have been evaluated, but have not been reported on (yet) in academic journals or other reports that are easily traceable online. Therefore, if you are or were involved in the creation or evaluation of such a program, please contact us. Please also contact us in case a report was only published in your mother language.
Our review will consist of two phases; a broad mapping stage and an in-depth review stage with meta-analysis (if enough studies fit our inclusion criteria for this stage). For the first stage, we are looking or all types of cyberbullying prevention programs aimed at young people that were evaluated quantitatively or qualitatively. This could be cyberbullying prevention programs, but also traditional bullying programs to which a component on cyberbullying was added, or traditional bullying programs that have also included outcome measures on cyberbullying, or internet safety programs that contain a component on cyberbullying...

We would be pleased if you could answer within the next two weeks. Feel free to contact us in case you have questions about the research design.
Thank you in advance

Internet is a surveillance state. Whether we admit it to ourselves or not,
and whether we like it or not, we're being tracked all the time. Google
tracks us, both on its pages and on other pages it has access to. Facebook
does the same; it even tracks non-Facebook users. Apple tracks us on our
iPhones and iPads. One reporter used a tool called Collusion to track who
was tracking him; 105 companies tracked his Internet use during one 36-hour
period. (CNN, 3/16)

Special Report on Internet Surveillance: Focusing On Internet Surveillance,

March 12, World Day Against Cyber-Censorship, Reporters Without Borders is
releasing a Special report on Internet surveillance, available at
surveillance.rsf.org/en. It looks at the way governments are increasingly
using technology that monitors online activity and intercepts electronic
communication in order to arrest journalists, citizen-journalists and
dissidents. Around 180 netizens worldwide are currently in prison for
providing news and information online. (Reporters Without Borders, 3/15)

Researchers Find 25 Countries Using Surveillance Software

May, two security researchers volunteered to look at a few suspicious
e-mails sent to some Bahraini activists. Almost one year later, the two
have uncovered evidence that some 25 governments, many with questionable
records on human rights, may be using off-the-shelf surveillance software
to spy on their own citizens. Morgan Marquis-Boire, a security researcher
at Citizen Lab, at the University of Toronto?s Munk School of Global
Affairs, and Bill Marczak, a computer science doctoral student at the
University of California, Berkeley, found that the e-mails contained
surveillance software that could grab images off computer screens, record
Skype chats, turn on cameras and microphones and log keystrokes. (The New

Gathering Clouds Over Digital Freedom?

to digital freedom are growing just as the number of people accessing the
internet is taking off, with millions more likely to join the digital world
through mobiles and smartphones in the coming years. The range of
challenges is wide: from state censorship, including firewalls and the
imposition of network or country-wide filters, to increasing numbers of
takedown requests from governments, companies and individuals, corporate
hoovering up of private data, growing surveillance of electronic
communications, and criminalisation of speech on social media. (Open

business decisions can impact human rights, particularly free expression

to make sure that netizens cannot read about sensitive issues nor
themselves post - or at least for very long - information the government

North Koreans can?t access the Internet, and only foreigners can use the

developed its own rudimentary social network ? which you can now see for
yourself, thanks to a SXSW panel the Associated Press?s Jean Lee gave this
weekend. Lee shared this screenshot from the unnamed social network, which
is more of an intranet bulletin board and is used largely to post birthday
messages, especially among university students and professors.(The

more than a year in pre-trial detention, five independent bloggers amid
other activists stood in a Vietnamese court for two days in January to hear
they would live behind bars for up to 13 more years. They join a growing
cohort of bloggers imprisoned for "activities aimed at overthrowing the
people's administration," "undermining of national unity" and committing
"propaganda against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam." Vietnamese bloggers
tasted internet freedom over the last decade as online access grew, but
social media is no game changer in a paranoid state. (The Atlantic, 3/11) *More

French government on Tuesday called for a law requiring Internet service
providers to give all the traffic on their networks equal priority, saying
existing rules were insufficient for protecting free speech online and
ensuring fair competition among Web publishers. The proposal would mark a
big shift in French policy and a break with existing European Union
practice on the thorny issue of so-called net neutrality. And though almost
certain to meet resistance from some Internet service providers, it could
fuel calls for similar rules throughout the 27-country European Union. (The

plain old normal folks in Iran used Reader quite a bit to get around
internet censorship. And those users won?t be helped by the Reader clones
popping up in its wake, because Google Reader?s unintended power as an

Caught by means of online surveillance, Karim Taymour told a Bloomberg[1]

Fights, Adapts, Accepts: Archetypes Of Iranian Internet Use

narrowing space for dissent and free exchange of ideas in the Iranian
public sphere and in public space has been one of the driving forces behind
Iranians? use of cyberspace as a mechanism for expression. The Internet is
one of the few remaining platforms where Iranians can practice some level
of open debate, less susceptible to social and political limitations.
Research on Internet use in Iran sheds light on a large online community
engaged in a diversity of activities and expanding at a significant pace.
This study seeks to complement standard online research techniques by
providing a richer picture of Iranian Internet users.

Xi Jinping takes office as president of China, the citizenry he governs is
more sophisticated and interconnected than any before, largely because of

traditional approach to media control, such as jailing journalists--keeps
free expression in check. Repressive regimes worldwide look to China as a
model, but Beijing's system of control is increasingly endangered.

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the CFP for SIGDOC's 2013 Annual Conference! As the vice chair of SIGDOC and an AOIR member, I am especially interested in having greater representation from the AOIR community. Please consider joining us this year! 

SIGDOC 2013: Simplifying Complexity
http://sigdoc.acm.org/2013/
The ACM Special Interest Group on the Design of Communication (ACM SIGDOC) invites you to submit a project report, research paper, or poster session on the design of communication for  interactive systems in industry, education, recreation, scientific research, and social exchange. SIGDOC conferences address issues of interest to people in interaction design, content strategy, information architecture, user experience, and technical communication.

Ideas for topics
? How do you identify complexity in an interactive system and simplify it for the people who use it?
? How do you capture complexity in a domain and simplify people?s understanding of it?
? How do you simplify complex person-to-person interactions?
? How social media and new media (rss feeds, analytics, streaming, user-contributed content, mashups, wikis, and blogs) simplify or increase complexity, and social implications of using these media.
? Simplifying the design, development, and delivery of interactive instructional media, including content management, website development and use, e-instruction and e-learning, and technical communication.
? Using responsive design methods and tools to simplify multi-platform issues.
? User research in all of these areas.

Submission types
? Research and technical papers. These papers describe completed research projects, and include the questions that prompted the research, the investigative methods, the results, and ideas for future study. Typically, researchers in academia submit research and technical papers. You present your paper during a conference session, and publish the paper in the conference proceedings.
? Project reports. These papers describe work completed for a product release, and include the problem that prompted the project, the development methods, the results, and ideas for future work. Typically, people in industry submit project reports. You present your paper during a conference session, and publish the paper in the conference proceedings.
? Poster sessions. A poster session is a less formal presentation of work in progess, theories, experimental work, new concepts, late-breaking research results. You present your poster during an informal session.
? Workshops. These are half- or full-day tutorials on a practical topic of relevance to conference attendees.

Submission schedule
? May 15: Manuscripts are due.
? June 30: Acceptance notices go out. If your submission is accepted as-is, you can upload it for publication in the proceedings. Work begins on your conference presentation.
? July 20: If your submission was accepted pending revisions, the revisions are due.
? Aug 7: Your final date to upload your manuscript to Sheridan Printing for inclusion in the proceedings.

Questions? Please contact our conference chairs Michael Albers (albersm at ecu.edu) and Nina Wishbow (nina.wishbow at gmail.com).

Take care,
Liza Potts

CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON CREATIVITY AND ATTENTION IN THE AGE OF THE WEB
http://ac.aup.fr/croda/tclab/creativity&attentionWorkshop2013.html
AT ACM WEB SCIENCE 2013
PARIS, MAY 1 2013

OBJECTIVES

Many researchers have highlighted the connection between attention and creativity. The Web environment significantly affects the manner in which we allocate attention to information, tasks, and people.
This workshop addresses the question of what impact this has on creative pursuits. We look at creativity at many levels, from personal creativity (e.g. the different ways in which a student may solve a problem) to big-C creativity that generates new high impact findings. We concentrate on the effects that the Web environment has on on human attention and on all these types of creativity. In particular, we will focus on empirical/experimental as well as conceptual research connecting topics such as: new types of creativity enabled by the web; the influence of Web-based environments on human attention; cognitive offload and its consequences; group creativity; creativity outsourcing.

INTRODUCTION

We are living in the age defined by innovation driven economy. The ubiquity of the web in our lives (work and leisure time) forces us to reconsider our fundamental preconceptions regarding the creative and innovation processes. The complexity and the requirements of this new environment tell us that the age of the lone asocial romanticist genius is gone. Collaboration and collective creation is a must. Does the web facilitates these processes? And, if so,then in what way? What can we do to take advantage of what the web offers? How does it affect individuals? What are the consequences for education?

All these questions have prompted an unprecedented academic interest on creativity that is well represented by several academic meeting such as the International ACM Conference on Creativity and Cognition 2013 in Sydney, the AAAI 2013 Spring Symposium on Creativity and Cognitive Development in Stanford, the Mobile Learning and Creativity Workshop in Saarbr?cken (September 2012), and the Creative Web Symposium: Computational Creativity as a Web-Service in South Corea (December 2012). Our workshop, while aligning with the meetings above, aims at exploring more specific issues of creativity that are immediately related to the particular environment created by the Web.

Every new medium introduces new creative opportunities and shortens the path from the creator to the consumer: from the invention of writing, the printing process, photography, movies, to the radio and TV, the telephone, digital computer to the current era of hyper connectivity, always-on, instant messaging, instant content producing and sharing. Unprecedented amount of all humane knowledge becomes easily available for many and our expectations of others (individuals and institutions) in terms of reactivity, productivity and efficiency is raised. Some researchers believe that the more constraints we have to overcome, the easier it becomes to create. Would then democratization of access to information and cheap communication actually lessen creativity, or reduce it to trivial creations?
On the other hand, creative behaviour has been connected with breath of attention (e.g. Kasof 1997, Friedman et al. 2003) and in general, wide attention deployment and defocused attention are considered to lead to greater creativity. Several researchers share the view that creativity requires variations in the field of attention (Gabora 2007, Vartanian 2009) and some experimental results hint that distractions improve creativity (Baird et al. 2012; Gallate et al. 2012). Based on these considerations one could expect that forced changes in attention focus such as those generated by many Web 2.0 applications, may actually improve creativity. However, previous research also tells us of other related factors that may intervene with a possible negative effect. For example it has been observed that stress or arousal, generated for example by time pressure or evaluation apprehension, may reduce breadth of attention and therefore hinder creativity (Karau and Kelly 1992; Smith, Michael, and Hocevar 1990); that interruptions are more likely to hinder, rather than improve, creativity, and that different types of interruptions may have varying degree of impact on different creative activities (Roda et al. 2013).

CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

In this half-day workshop we invite researchers and practitioners for an exploration of the influence of the Web environment on human attention and creativity. We welcome short papers reporting empirical/experimental as well as conceptual research connecting topics such as:

New types of creativity enabled by the web
The influence of Web based environments on human attention
Cognitive offload and its consequences
Group creativity
Creativity outsourcing

We invite full papers (8 pages), short / position papers (2-4 pages), and/or demonstrations to be submitted to gstojanov at aup.edu<mailto:gstojanov at aup.edu> by March 21

Demonstrations should be available online and be accompanied by a short description (no more than 2 pages).

All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee.

We will pursue the possibility of publishing a selected number of papers in the special issue of a journal.

 culture makers (free PDF)
Message-ID: <CAF_Y1Gq6DtH3BgWY-zDn4POgkRa6WmALB5VUBE22WKqbs_Umdg@mail.gmail.com>

*Co-Creating Knowledge Online* is the second booklet in a series of
Internet field guides I have developed for community artists and culture
makers. It is for those who are interested in better utilising the Internet
to connect, share, and make new knowledge.

It builds on the premise that people have become increasingly networked as
individuals rather than in groups, and that these new ways of connecting
enable new modes of peer-to-peer co-creation. It is an attempt to translate
my PhD research findings for community arts practitioners, and was inspired
by the practices of CuriousWorks <http://www.curiousworks.com.au>.

The booklet is available as a free
PDF<http://www.popomo.com/research/blog/?p=937>in beta, and is CC
licensed for re-purposing. I hope it's helpful!

wiki-research-l at lists.wikimedia.org>


Hi everyone,

As part of my internship with WMF I have created
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data - a single page introduction
to Wikimedia-related data sources. Its intended to inform researchers abou
the variety of Wikimedia data available.

The page can definitely benefit from some review from the actual users of
data. Please take a look and feel free to add or correct information. The
"How-to" and "Existing tools" subsections definitly could be expanded.
 Also, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data/FAQ is still quite
small and can definitely be improved.

My internship is over in a few days. I will still be around some but if you
see anything that can be improved please take the initiative and change it.
If you don't  feel comfortable doing it, write a note on the Talk page.

Finally, I would like to encourage you to share any Wikimedia-related
datasets you have or you know of, small or big, on
http://datahub.io/group/wikimedia. The aim is to eventually have all
Wikimedia-related data documented on the Wikimedia group on DataHub.

Regards,

Mariya

Subject: [Air-L] Research on bullying and its relationship with 'cybercrimes'
Message-ID: <CABQsi5bOhCFASnAmpbTCLp+b0sEbbeA8yagmb7yYGJu=6fuGUA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I've been looking into what's being done in Mexico to address the issue of
bullying, and am really alarmed to find that the cyberpolice (who are
working on human trafficking cases) have undertaken anti-bullying plans as
part of their agenda.

I am looking for sources that talk about the relationship (or lack thereof)
between bullying and the crimes that are in the field of work of the
cyberpolice ? namely human trafficking and kidnappings.

Thank you so much in advance,

Mariel Garc?a

Subject: [Air-L] Last reminder: Call for papers: Changing orders of
 knowledge? Encyclopaedias in transition
Message-ID: <CACqn21jxNx9rwSm7zW7mpKBZDJTy5x5OZDL8ET8fw42v3zb7Bw@mail.gmail.com>

CALL FOR PAPERS
  Theme section: Changing orders of knowledge? Encyclopaedias in transition

To appear in the peer-reviewed journal Culture Unbound: Journal of Current
Cultural Research

Guest editors: Jutta Haider & Olof Sundin, Department of Arts and Cultural
Sciences, Lund University, Sweden



We are witnessing a transition period for encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic
knowledge. Since the 1990s alone encyclopaedias have gone through several
remediations: from printed volumes to CD-ROM, from CD-ROM to on-line
editions on the web and most recently as smartphone applications. Nowadays
encyclopaedic knowledge is produced, distributed and used largely within
digital networks. Mobile devices make it always available, everywhere.
While understandably a lot has been said about Wikipedia and from almost
every angle, other contemporary encyclopaedias have not received that much
attention in research. Yet they are two sides of the same coin. This theme
section wants to contribute to changing the balance somewhat.



The modern encyclopaedia, with its roots in the enlightenment, has come to
symbolise learning and education. In the West it has since long been a
yardstick for what is accepted as public knowledge in a given time and
culture. It stands for trustworthiness and stability, at the same time as
it has always changed hand in hand with cultural and technical
developments. Most recently their production, consumption, use,
distribution and significance, all are undergoing profound changes. At the
same time as these changes contribute to re-structuring what encyclopaedias
and encyclopaedic knowledge are, this type of knowledge is more easily
accessible, more in demand and more often referred to than ever before.



For this theme section we invite authors to reflect upon the encounter,
productive or otherwise, between encyclopaedic knowledge formed by a
plethora of traditions and the constantly changing material conditions for
production, communication, use and circulation of knowledge. In particular
so-called traditional encyclopaedias in their contemporary digital
manifestations are in focus. While emphasis on relevant sociotechnical and
cultural aspects of the present is encouraged, there will be some room for
historical studies that focus on encyclopaedias in transition and for
studies on Wikipedia (and other new forms from social and cultural
perspectives of encyclopaedias and related phenomena)



Topics of interest might be, but are not limited to:

?      Everyday meaning of encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      Encyclopaedias in the classroom and other educational uses.

?      Economic aspects and the role of changed business-models.

?      Critical studies of encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      Globalisation of knowledge and the role of encyclopaedias.

?      Production of encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      Encyclopaedias as a yardstick for public knowledge.

?      Communication of encyclopaedias and encyclopaedic knowledge.

?      The situatedeness of encyclopaedias in the networked society.



We are also looking for relevant book reviews for this issue!



Please indicate your interest in contributing by submitting a title and
short abstract (approximately 500 words) before 1st April 2013. The
deadline for full papers is 1st of October 2013 and publication is planned
for the spring of 2014. The articles should between 4,000 and 10,000 words
long. Please send enquires, abstracts and finished papers to

Yep, I'm sure many folks are involved/seeing discussions about this thing.  *headdesk*

I think it comes down to a belief by DC and many state governments that unless education or educational initiatives/research can be tied *directly* toward job creation in today's "hot new fields" it's a waste of time and funding. How much of that is a direct consequence of the national unemployment situation, I don't know.....or how much of it is shaped by political ideologies, for that matter. The cynic in me has all sorts of reasons why things like critical thinking, history, political science (ie, "how your nation is supposed to work") are being marginalised, but that's not an appropriate discussion for a lovely Friday afternoon.   /ducks

In my field (cybersecurity) I see a disturbing trend towards mixing 'technical training' with 'education' at the 4-year and graduate level with the goal of helping "develop the workforce" --- which often means getting people with technical SKILLS into places of vital employment.  Even government groups known for setting academic guidelines in this area are heading in that direction, too.  As a result, there is an ongoing discussion/debate over what constituties 'technical training' via professional certifications and the development of skills as a practitioner (generally offered in the non-credit realm) and more formal education (ie, for-credit, degree-seeking programs) that seek to produce well-rounded professionals who can advance in their careers over time.  

It's one thing to know how to build and configure a firewall, deploy a Windows network, or run various security tools to test your online security.  But IMHO that's technical training to produce specialists --- one friend even suggested those kind of hands-on-keyboard activities are the modern equivalent of blue-collar "jobs" of years past:  IE,  you've got Master Electricians and Certified Information Security Professionals;  you've got Journeymen Plumbers, you've got Certified Ethical Hackers, etc, etc.  I don't think he's that far off.  And we definitely need these people!!

But it's another thing to know how that low-level stuff fits into the bigger picture, understand context, think critically and independently, develop and communicate meaning, and be able to conceptualise more than your narrow slice of things -- THAT is where a broad and diverse education comes in, which most likely includes stuff drawn from the allegedly-useless humanities!!    These are necessary qualities on needs if they want to have a defined "career" instead of a series of "jobs" ---- and they come not from STEM-y disciplines but the humanities.  Through an appropriate educational framework, these folks can be exposed both to specialist knowledge as well as those 'soft skills' that allow them to take a generalist approach when needed.   Among other things, they can ask "why?" and not just focus on "how?"

That said, in my program, we've decided to split the difference to try and get the best of both worlds:  We recently built a 3-credit elective course around a popular technical training certification in the cybersecurity field.  However, rather than just lecturing and "teaching to the certification exam" (as many places do)  there are group projects, papers, presentations exams, and other assignments appropriate for graduate students, are academicly rigourous, and reflect what my program seeks to produce in its graduates.  We tell students that doing well in this course will prepare them for that industry certification (if they want to go that route) but that we are not teaching exclusively to that exam or restricting course content to just material related to the certification. (By contrast, other places offer 3 credits for what essentially is a "certification exam test prep" course.that could be taken at any commercial testing center or community college.)   

My apologies.....this turned into a long-winded screed saying that like many others I disagree with Coburn's Amendment and the overall trend of marginalising the humantiies to focus on STEM and worker skills development.  In my view, being an effective professional is both an Art and a Science.

Motivation and Scope

The first thematic issue of our 7th year (next year) will focus on a
literature review of 3D3C worlds according to specific topics. The issue
will connect with our JVWR workshop in Milan, Italy, on December, 15 (as
part of AIS ICIS
2013<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=1bd0038926&e=3f7039199b>).
(The issue will also be a base for a proposed book, where we will expand on
this theme.)

For this issue, ?topical review? means a review of corpus of knowledge on
one aspect of virtual worlds. It can be a classic literature
review<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=da1db5cf44&e=3f7039199b>,
a more formal statistical
meta-analysis<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=854490d63d&e=3f7039199b>or
other forms suggested by authors.

For this issue, "3D3C Worlds" is defined as a combination of four factors:

   - *3D* as in three dimensional representation of worlds as seen in
   Google Earth, Augmented Reality, 3D printing and the like;
   - *Community* as in the collection of people work, play and act
   together. Consider Facebook and Twitter as one example, and enhance it by
   the dynamics of World of Warcraft guilds;
   - *Creation* is the ability to create new artifacts, as seen for example
   in Second Life or in Open Source movement;
   - *Commerc*e is the ability to harness these previous factors to gain
   monetary real value (consider Bitcoin, exchanges, etc.)

The issue will be combined of three sections: Applications, Technologies
and Policies, each includes several papers:

   - *Applications*: Medical, Commerce, Defense etc.
   - *Technologies*: 3D, AR, Money, etc.
   - *Policies*: Standards, Privacy, Taxation, Legal, etc.

We have initial submissions in the following topics:

   - Collaboration
   - Medicine
   - Learning
   - ART
   - Taxation

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

*Applications*

   - Defense related virtual worlds
   - Relations and Love and virtual worlds
   - Ambient Life
   - Music and virtual worlds
   - Virtual Worlds for Sales

*Technologies*

   - The state of GPU
   - Measuring virtual worlds
   - Sensors
   - Robotics
   - Virtual Worlds and mobile
   - Virtual worlds and the web  (HTML5)
   - 3D Printing

*Policies*

   - Economics and Virtual Worlds
   - Privacy
   - Avatar rights
   - Legal rights
   - Standards (open vs. close)

Submission Instructions

Interested authors should submit a two-page extended abstract by the
deadline indicated below. Authors will then be invited to submit original
scholarly papers of up to 7500 words including footnotes, references, and
appendices. All submissions (abstracts and papers) should be made via the

p.s. Why Lantern?

The field of virtual worlds is vast, interconnected and expanding. In this
issue, we take a review lantern and shed some light on some of the fields'
sides. Clearly, we will not cover everything. We will often see shadows and
not the full image. Ultimately, we hope to encourage further exploring of
the field.

As promised, here is my list of primary voting projects:
http://zelea.com/w/Stuff:List_of_primary_voting_projects

I define "primary voting" as a more-or-less continuous process of
voting in which the results are not decisive.  Its purpose is to build
up a normative consensus or mutual understanding prior to a decision.
The decision itself is usually expressed through a separate mechanism,
as with an election, voting assembly or other authority.

Please let me know if I missed any projects.  Or just edit the list
directly (it's in a wiki).

Subject: [Air-L] Possible adopters, Digital Media Ethics, 2nd edition?
Message-ID: <CD745FD5.5C0DC%charles.ess@gmail.com>

Dear AoIR friends and colleagues,

(with apologies in advance to any of you who experience this as a form of
unwanted spam.  My reason for sending this to the AoIR list is that the book
and its revisions are so deeply indebted to AoIR colleagues, the work of the
ethics committee, and conference presentations and discussions that AoIR
seems to me the book's first and most natural home.)

The second (substantially revised and thoroughly updated) edition of my
book, Digital Media Ethics (Polity Press) will come out later this year, I'm
very happy to say. I've appended the blurb at the end of this note.

In the meantime, however, Polity would like me to develop a list of possible
adopters of the book: the possible adopters will then be sent an inspection
copy of the book for review.

So: if you would like to be included in the list, please send me your
indication of interest along with exact contact details - name, address,
email address, and phone number - so that Polity can contact you as needed.

(You can send these to either my gmail account or UiO account:
<c.m.ess at media.uio.no>)

Along these lines, if anyone has recommendations for journals that would be
interested in reviewing the new book, I would very much appreciate that
information as well.

Thanks in advance, and best in the meantime,
-charles

The blurb: 
The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was
the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global
perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. This
second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and
scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes, particularly
the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also
benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material,
incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ?watershed?
events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook,
Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the
U.S., the E.U., and Asia.
  New for the second edition are sections on friendship online,
democratization, and ?citizen journalism? and its implications for
traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on the
?ethical toolkit?, this book will also introduce students to prevailing
ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in
digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright, pornography
and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online.
  Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and
theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions
that foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these
issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter includes additional
resources and suggestions for further research and writing.

**************************
Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Int. Journal of Human-Computer Studies

Perspectives on participatory HCI research: Beginnings, middles and endings

http://di.ncl.ac.uk/participation/special-issue/

**************************
Scope
**************************
Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user involvement in the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term engagements with communities to define research questions and study deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field, however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science, participatory and performance arts, international development, and action research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn attention to the potential benefits and challenges, both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI research.

While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The mundane yet still significant details of how participatory HCI research is performed are rarely documented and discussed by the community. The coming together of multiple perspectives from different disciplines ? some of which have existing frameworks, some debate the very notion of participation ? provides an opportunity for HCI researchers to reflect critically on how people are involved in design processes. Specifically, we call attention to the following three phases of performing participatory HCI research:

How we begin:
How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants, or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?

How we reflex and reflect:
How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory work along the way without skewing the process itself?

How we end:
How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research, and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or intervention?

**************************
Topics
**************************
This special issue aims to present a set of high quality, thought provoking, original research articles that address one or more of these stages through topics including, but not limited to:
-- Empirical studies collaborating with organizations and communities in the design or evaluation of new technologies.
-- Studies of participatory HCI that target specific populations or communities, such as older people, young people, activist groups, charities, rural communities, among others.
-- Theoretical and conceptual frameworks that unpack the questions and related problems of participation as a process.
-- Critical reflections on existing and historical examples of participation in HCI.
-- Strategies for documenting and eliciting reflection from both researchers and participants engaged in research.
-- Considerations of the ethical, moral and political implications of designing technologies with communities of users and stakeholders.
-- Interdisciplinary perspectives on participatory HCI research.
-- Case studies discussing experiences of beginning, reflecting on or sustaining participatory HCI research.

It is anticipated that submissions will tackle at least one stage of participatory research/design processes in use, as described above, and that accepted papers will comprise examples from each phase. Papers addressing theoretical issues will only be considered where the contribution is exceptional.

**************************
Paper submission
**************************
Authors are requested to contact the guest editors (email: participation.di at gmail.com<mailto:participation.di at gmail.com>) prior to making a submission by July 31st 2013 to inform them of their plans to submit to the special issue.

Subject: [Air-L] Help recruiting and enrolling participants in Twitter study
Message-ID: <CAN16u+v-X0t7Dv7D1HRn0vVmPmyGEg3hAG=Sv6JXX8aehztJmg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there. My name is Benjamin Gleason and I'm a 2nd year PhD student at
Michigan State University. I'm currently doing a study that explores the
digital literacy practices and identity performances of high school aged
Twitter users. The study design is composed of two stages-- the first will
be a discourse analysis of tweets and the second will be semi-structured
interview about their Twitter practices. I've received IRB approval for my
study and am ready to recruit and enroll participants, who I've been
following on Twitter for the past 4-6 weeks or so.

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of interesting identity-work happening and
would like to get the young people I've been following to participate in
the study. I invited a few of the participants to join the study, but the
response has been limited.

I was hoping to find participants through Twitter who may be interested in
participating, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to recruit participants
(aged 15-18) to join my study. The requirements of the study *seem* pretty
minimal-- only one (or maybe two) interviews about their Twitter use. But
I'm having a hard time getting young people to participate. Your help is
appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day :)

Very nice data ! never saw it before...
the presence of "rape" in the top ten (india for instance) is quite
frightening...

This data is bound to server-side information (pornhub - #3 in the world).

Dear all,

My research team and I are interested in designing a social media campaign to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. I have not been very successful in my search of existing campaigns, both within and beyond Australia. Is anyone aware of, or conducting their own research, in the areas of social media and stigma (whether it be for mental illness or any other health issue)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice data ! never saw it before...
the presence of "rape" in the top ten (india for instance) is quite
frightening...

This data is bound to server-side information (pornhub - #3 in the world).

Best,
Antoine

Subject: [Air-L] CFP: Workshop on LARGE-SCALE IDEA MANAGEMENT AND
	DELIBERATION SYSTEMS
Message-ID: <CAM2CybM0+eK2LyZ5zYKxFRc-z3KAFV7k-9t2tLtrmZSkKoy_zQ@mail.gmail.com>

WORKSHOP ON LARGE-SCALE IDEA MANAGEMENT AND DELIBERATION SYSTEMS (LSID 2013)

Held in conjunction with C&T 2013 Conference in Munich, Germany, on June
29, 2013
Website: http://comtech13.xrce.xerox.com/
Hashtag: #lsdelib
Email: lsdeliberation at xrce.xerox.com

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
*       Position/Extended Paper submission: April 16, 2013
(www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=lsdeliberation)
*       Author notification: April 23, 2013
*       Camera-ready paper submission: April 30, 2013
*       Workshop date: June 29, 2013

WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------
The workshop aims to assemble a diverse set of participants with an
interest in studying or building systems for large-scale ideation and
deliberation in business or civic settings. Aside of presenting new work
in the area, the goal of the workshop is to enable a multi-disciplinary
discussion about the key research questions and related themes
underlying the design, deployment, and evaluation of LSID platforms in
real world contexts. Therefore, in addition to presentations, the
workshop will involve networking activities of all workshop participants
in a series of organised discussions on the future developments of
deliberation systems and managing collaboration for future joint projects.
The research issues related to workshop area can be summarised by the
following problems:
*       How can we facilitate interaction of large communities ?
*       How can we organise information stored in deliberation systems and
enable to utilise this data in an efficient way?
*       How can we maintain sustainability of deliberation platforms and
stimulate impact of discussions and ideas?
The LSID Workshop invites researchers, engineers, software developers to
present their research and works in the field of idea management and
deliberation systems. Papers may deal with methods, models, case
studies, practical experiences and technologies.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
---------------
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

Theory of Collaborative Interaction and Deliberation:
*       models of crowd knowledge, crowd aggregation, and crowd reasoning
*       argumentation theories & technologies
*       models of social influence
*       influencers identification
*       measuring engagement
*       social network analysis
*       opinion diffusion models

*       democracy, open & accountable governance
*       earth policies, social sustainability, health, ageing, participation
*       artistic cooperation, large-scale games, films

PAPER SUBMISSION
---------------
Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts, neither submitted
nor accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or
journal. They must be written in English, and formatted using the ACM
SIGCHI two column layout
(http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform). Manuscripts should be
submitted (in PDF format) through the EasyChair system
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=lsdeliberation). In case of
any inquires, please do not hesitate to contact the organising
committee: lsdeliberation at xrce.xerox.com.

The submissions should focus on one or more of the following categories:
*       Empirical studies: e.g., case studies illustrating practices and
pointing to specific design requirements for business or civic settings.
*       Designs and demos of new systems or proof-of-concept prototypes of
systems for supporting large-scale ideation and deliberation; or
in-depth evaluations of systems already deployed.
*       Theoretical contributions on ideation and deliberation (processes
and
systems) that can inform future design and research.
*       Cases of multi-disciplinarily research showing the interplay between
field studies, analysis of requirements, and development of systems.

Depending on the scope and research maturity, we invite submissions of
two kinds of papers:
*       Position Papers: describing preliminary work, initial research
results
or vision papers proposing exciting new ideas for research and
development of either Idea Management or large-scale deliberation
systems. (1,500-2,000 words)
*       Extended Papers: reporting more substantial research or development
work. The extended papers report on mature research results and present
an evaluation that delivers new insight into problem areas described in
the workshop themes. (up to 8,000 words)

Three researchers will carefully review each submission using review
criteria shared by the organisers. The selection criteria includes the
significance of the contribution, relevance to the workshop themes, and
clarity. The maximum number of contributions accepted for presentation
will be about 20.

Subject: [Air-L] Lurking Theory
Message-ID: <CAJ_Acw9sFrxiWRU4rYwM3GSh3oQ=6xwePyRMRRCb510-8aq59A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi AOIRites (apologies for x-posting),

I'm pleased to share http://lurkingtheory.wordpress.com, a blog that I'm
using to jump-start a project on internet lurking.  The most recent post
looks at how different languages speak of the practices of reading without
writing online.  A number of AIR-L celebrities helped out, so please check
it out.

Other posts outline some of the project's key concerns and more are on the
way.  Your comments and critiques will be terribly helpful in developing
the project, so I hope you'll share any reactions, either through the blog
or by email (if you'd rather lurk).

All the best,
SK

Hi Bridianne,

I think you might want to look up the Let's Talk campaign that was Bell Canada's campaign to get the public talking about mental health to reduce stigma.

> **************************
> Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI
> community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized

> the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users
> or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term
> engagements with communities to define research questions and study
> deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field,
> however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in
> research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science,
> participatory and performance arts, international development, and action
> research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from
> funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the
> public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn
> attention to the potential benefits and challenges
>  , both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI
> research.
>
> While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can
> offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions
> in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically
> reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The

> HCI research:
>
> How we begin:
> How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants,
> or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who
> here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or
> what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and
> assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are
> certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?
>
> How we reflex and reflect:
> How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of
> participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How
> are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon
> the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design
> process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it
> and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice
> as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory
> work along the way without skewing the process itself?
>
> How we end:
> How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should
> be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the
> practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is
> sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research,
> and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a
> context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or
> intervention?

Re: Using social media to reduce stigma (Avery Holton)

You might check into Reducing the Stigma of Mental Illness (2005). It's a global report that's a bit dated, but valuable nonetheless. I've also found the Stuart et al. (2012) volume, Paradigms Lost: Fighting Stigma and the Lessons Learned, very helpful.

To: "irtf-announce at irtf.org" <irtf-announce at irtf.org>


Hi,

the IRTF is a co-sponsor of the 3rd MANIAC Challenge on the Saturday
before IETF-87 in Berlin.

Lars

--

       **  Call for Short Papers for the 3rd MANIAC Challenge  **

        Co-located with the 87th IETF meeting in Berlin, Germany
                     July 27 - August 2, 2013

                http://2013.maniacchallenge.org

        Sponsored by: Google, ISOC, IETF, IRTF, ANR, and BMBF

The MANIAC Challenge is a competition to better understand cooperation and
interoperability in ad hoc networks. Competing teams students/researchers
come together to form a wireless ad hoc network, while simultaneously
connected to a backbone of access points. The organizers will generate
traffic coming from the backbone, destined to somewhere in the network. A
hop-by-hop bidding contest decides the path of each data packet towards its
destination.

Each team usually consists of two to three people. Teams will be judged
based on how much of the traffic they relay gets to its destination. To get
their traffic across the network, each team must rely on other teams
willingness to forward traffic for them. We have developed software and an
API over Android to allow teams to program their nodes, in particular
override forwarding decisions made by the routing protocol and participate
in the hop-by-hop bidding contest.

------------------------------------------------
Topic of 3rd MANIAC Challenge: Mobile Offloading
------------------------------------------------

The specific focus of the MANIAC Challenge 2013 is on developing and
comparatively evaluating strategies to offload infrastructure access points
via customer ad hoc forwarding using handhelds (e.g., smartphones,
tablets). The incentive for customers is discounted monthly fees, and the
incentive for operators is decreased infrastructure costs. The idea is to
demonstrate scenarios/strategies that do not degrade user experience while
offering significant mobile offloading on the infrastructure.
Details about the scenario and competition rules are available at
http://2013.maniacchallenge.org/rules-setup.

----------
Submission
----------

We solicit the submission of short papers (max. 2 pages IEEE double-column
format) describing strategies for mobile offloading. After being
peer-reviewed, authors of selected submissions will be invited to
participate in the MANIAC Challenge and to attend the IETF meeting. We
highly encourage authors to continue the development of the offloading
strategy during the review time.

Please, submit your short paper via email to maniac2013 at lists.fu-berlin.de.

-------------
Participation
-------------

Author participation will consist in attending the MANIAC Challenge in
Berlin, Germany, July 27 - 28, 2013. Authors are also invited to attend the
IETF/IRTF meeting July 28 - August 2, 2013. Participation in the MANIAC
Challenge is free of charge. Registration costs (at full-time student rate)
for the IETF/IRTF meeting are sponsored by ISOC.

Authors bring an implementation of the strategy described in the paper
submitted by the author, running on the common API and the common hardware
used for the event: the Nexus 7 tablet. The MANIAC API and software will be
released with the notification of acceptance. Hardware will be provided by
the organizers if necessary.

Each participant will then concurrently run its strategy during the
contest, taking place on July 27th at the Freie Universit?t Berlin. The
following day, a workshop will take place at the IETF venue, where we will
summarize and discuss the results of the contest.

The winners of the MANIAC Challenge 2013 will be announced during the IRTF
Open Meeting, which is part of the IETF/IRTF week with high visibility. The
IRTF Open Meeting usually will be attended by more than 100 experts from
industry and academia working on Internet Engineering.

Winners will take home some prizes to be determined with sponsors. Competing
teams will be provided complimentary IETF registration enabling them to attend
the 87th IETF meeting in Berlin, July 28 - August 2nd.

Details about the submission and participation are available at
http://2013.maniacchallenge.org/participation/

> second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and
> scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes,
> particularly
> the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also
> benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material,
> incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ?watershed?
> events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook,
> Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the
> U.S., the E.U., and Asia.
>   New for the second edition are sections on friendship online,

> traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on
> the
> ?ethical toolkit?, this book will also introduce students to prevailing
> ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in
> digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright,
> pornography
> and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online.
>   Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and

> **************************
> Scope
> **************************
> Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI
> community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized
> approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user involvement in
> the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users
> or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term
> engagements with communities to define research questions and study
> deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field,
> however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in
> research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science,
> participatory and performance arts, international development, and action
> research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from
> funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the
> public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn
> attention to the potential benefits and challenges
>  , both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI
> research.
>
> While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can
> offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions
> in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically
> reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The
> mundane yet still significant details of how participatory HCI research is
> performed are rarely documented and discussed by the community. The coming
> together of multiple perspectives from different disciplines ? some of
> which have existing frameworks, some debate the very notion of
> participation ? provides an opportunity for HCI researchers to reflect
> critically on how people are involved in design processes. Specifically, we
> call attention to the following three phases of performing participatory
> HCI research:
>
> How we begin:
> How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants,
> or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who
> here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or
> what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and
> assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are
> certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?
>
> How we reflex and reflect:
> How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of
> participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How
> are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon
> the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design
> process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it
> and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice
> as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory
> work along the way without skewing the process itself?
>
> How we end:
> How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should
> be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the
> practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is
> sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research,
> and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a
> context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or
> intervention?
>
> **************************
> Topics
> **************************
> This special issue aims to present a set of high quality, thought
> provoking, original research articles that address one or more of these
> stages through topics including, but not limited to:
> -- Empirical studies collaborating with organizations and communities in
> the design or evaluation of new technologies.
> -- Studies of participatory HCI that target specific populations or
> communities, such as older people, young people, activist groups,
> charities, rural communities, among others.
> -- Theoretical and conceptual frameworks that unpack the questions and
> related problems of participation as a process.
> -- Critical reflections on existing and historical examples of
> participation in HCI.
> -- Strategies for documenting and eliciting reflection from both
> researchers and participants engaged in research.
> -- Considerations of the ethical, moral and political implications of
> designing technologies with communities of users and stakeholders.
> -- Interdisciplinary perspectives on participatory HCI research.
> -- Case studies discussing experiences of beginning, reflecting on or
> sustaining participatory HCI research.
>
> It is anticipated that submissions will tackle at least one stage of

Subject: [Air-L] Anyone studying big data and investing in China?
Message-ID: <CAMsrFiGCDr29bY+-TF8PViBPzZk0W6WU7hROCexK5UfvpuHGtw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I have a super smart student here who is looking for a bit of help from our
China specialists. Here is his query:


As someone studying global economics, I?ve become increasingly interested
in learning how individual Chinese investors manage to stay abreast of
financial news given how cut off the average Chinese citizen appears to be
from social media flows on sites like Twitter. In the U.S., American
investors are increasingly making financial decisions based on activities
on social media sites (known colloquially as ?investing through big data
research.?) How do Chinese investors use big data? Do Chinese investors use
big data?


_________

Any thoughts? I think this is worth discussing on-list, but you can also
email him privately if you wish at jfr308 at nyu.edu


Huge thanks in advance!

Terri

Message-ID: <CAMsrFiGc+gu96esPAzut9TRxVpjBP889ACtz0hK0oDS-3QqvEA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Another question that I know some of you are total experts on:

I'm looking for examples of best practices (ideally case studies) of
education efforts re internet user privacy.

These could be grassroots, government efforts, corporate efforts, activist
efforts. Could be for kids, seniors, university students, consumers,
whatever.  Could be about parsing terms of service agreements, negotiating
option bottons, etc. As long as people have praised them as being useful in
some way, I'd be interested in seeing them.


I seem to recall Canada being big in this area. Am I wrong about that?

Thanks in advance, pals.

Terri

Subject: [Air-L] Submission Extension to 5 April - CFP: Social, Casual,
 Mobile: Changing Games ANZCA Pre-Conference (2 July 2013)
Message-ID: <CAJ8rtsxNdx5iPsFtJMHKu9kDzELmgT90LS+8tHNsxZ0_0iLrHQ@mail.gmail.com>

Social, Casual, Mobile: Changing Games, ANZCA 2013 PreConference, 2
July 2013, Perth, Western Australia.

Extension: Abstract submissions will now remain open until Friday, 5 April 2013.

Keynote Speaker: Mia Consalvo, Concordia University in Montreal
http://about.me/miaconsalvo
Plenary Speaker: John Banks, Queensland University of Technology
http://www.playification.com/

Social, casual and mobile games ? primarily experienced on smartphones
and online social networks ? are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and
in the process, changing the ways in which games are designed,
understood and, most importantly, played. This free one-day
preconference held on 2 July at Curtin University in Perth, Australia,
will explore this rapidly changing gaming landscape and discuss the
ludic, methodological, theoretical, economic, social and cultural
challenges that these changes invoke.  Importantly, social, casual and
mobile games do not exist in a vacuum, so the challenges, changes and
continuities in relation to previous digital and physical games and
gaming practices are also open for analysis.

Topics might include, but are by no means limited to:
?	Design and industry shifts from traditional games to mobile and
networked games
?	New user demographics
?	Virtual currencies, in-game purchases, the .99c price-point and
other economic issues
?	Games as  surveillance and the exchange of user information for game progress
?	Zynga: The Rise and (partial) Fall of Facebook?s Biggest Gaming Friend
?	Mobile Franchises:  Angry Birds, Plants V Zombies, and so on.
?	South-East Asian and other non-Western gaming cultures
?	Gaming communities
?	Gamification - the good, the bad, and the scoreboard
?	Convergence and social, casual and mobile games
?	Edutainment
?	The sociality or otherwise of social games
?	Shifting landscape from PC and console games to social, casual and
mobile games
?	Locative games: place and mobility

Abstracts of no more than 500 words (or full papers of no more than
5000 words if preferred) including a brief biographic statement, using
APA 6th referencing style, are now due Friday, 5 April 2013 emailed to
socialcasualmobile at gmail.com. Accepted papers and abstract-only
presentations will be notified by 15 April 2013.

Pre-conference papers and abstracts will not appear in the ANZCA
proceedings; rather they will automatically be considered for
inclusion in an edited collection on the topic Social, Casual, Mobile:
Changing Games being organised concurrently with the preconference. If
you do NOT want your paper or abstract considered for inclusion in
this collection, please note this when emailing your submission.

Hello,

Best wishes,

*Cached <http://nyupress.org/books/book-details.aspx?bookId=8212>*: Decoding
the Internet in Global Popular Culture (NYU Press, 2013)

In the 1980s and 1990s, the internet became a major player in the global
economy and a revolutionary component of everyday life for much of the
United States and the world. It offered users new ways to relate to one
another, to share their lives, and to spend their time?shopping, working,
learning, and even taking political or social action. Policymakers and news
media attempted?and often struggled?to make sense of the emergence and
expansion of this new technology. They imagined the internet in conflicting
terms: as a toy for teenagers, a national security threat, a new democratic
frontier, an information superhighway, a virtual reality, and a framework
for promoting globalization and revolution.

Schulte maintains that contested concepts had material consequences and
helped shape not just our sense of the internet, but the development of the
technology itself. *Cached* focuses on how people imagine and relate to
technology, delving into the political and cultural debates that produced
the internet as a core technology able to revise economics, politics, and
culture, as well as to alter lived experience. Schulte illustrates the
conflicting and indirect ways in which culture and policy combined to
produce this transformative technology.

*Stephanie Ricker Schulte* is Assistant Professor of Communication at the
University of Arkansas.

"This is the most culturally sophisticated history of the Internet yet
written. We can't make sense of what the Internet means in our lives
without reading Schulte's elegant account of what the Internet has meant at
various points in the past 30 years."

Hi Louise,

The list members have made some wonderful suggestions. Perhaps my
book, *Civility
in the Digital Age: How Companies and People Can Triumph over Haters,
Trolls, Bullies, and Other Jerks, *released last month, would make a good
addition to an already strong list of works. It identifies and addresses a
host of online etiquette misbehaviors and violations, and offers a
framework for trying to effectively manage them.

Best regards,

Andrea

dear terri,

i think tactical tech has done some great work in how activists/advocates/everyday citizens can look out for their privacy (given that this is even possible).
what i really like about their work is that they pay as much attention to their content as to their form/media. there material/courses are accessible and appealing to a general audience.
while we are at it, i will also advertise their upcoming summer camp (sorry for cross-posting):


Tactical Tech has been busy preparing for this year's Info Activism Camp
titled 'Evidence and Influence'. Applications for the Camp are now open
and we would really like to see someone from your organisation applying
to attend. More details here:
https://camp2013.tacticaltech.org/content/important-information
Please do pass this around and share it.
The first deadline is April 2nd but only for those who need Schengen
visas - so please apply soon !

best,
s.

 The future of publishing

After nearly 400 years in the slow-moving world of print, the scientific
publishing industry is suddenly being thrust into a fast-paced online world
of cloud computing, crowd sourcing and ubiquitous sharing. Long-established
practices are being challenged by new ones ? most notably, the open-access,
author-pays publishing model. In this special issue, *Nature* takes a close
look at the forces now at work in scientific publishing, and how they may
play out over the coming decades.

Subject: [Air-L] Qualitative analysis of Twitter data
Message-ID: <CAN3zVQz6RgGwzg5RehgFxWy_whAUG5q=xwJKQ8zj8A9qy48t+g@mail.gmail.com>

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!
