[Air-L] ASIS&T '17, SIG IEP Workshop Call for Participation

[A.J. Million]

*Call for Participation*: The New Information State: How Information Ethics
and Policy Affects Everyone, sponsored by SIG-IEP,  ASIS&T Annual
Meeting, Crystal City, Virginia

*Date*: October 28, 2017

*Abstract*: In today’s milieu of fake news, misinformation, and generalized
distrust of institutions, information ethics and policy affects everyone,
across different information science research areas. In this workshop, we
will analyze these changes to the informational state and discuss how we
can address them through three themes: *pedagogy for information ethics and
policy*, *engagement with policymakers*, and *information ethics and policy
across information science*. Workshop participants are encouraged to
participate in a variety of ways and will leave the workshop with tangible
products that can be used in research and teaching.

*Contributions*: For the workshop, we seek several different types of
contributions:

   - Panel: A panel should incorporate two of the themes (see below, under
   workshop organization) and each panel is encouraged to include at least one
   person outside academia. Panels should be explicit about which themes are
   addressed and include a brief biography of each contributor.
   - Paper: A paper should address one of the themes (see below) in detail,
   tying it back to the broader discussion of the changed information state.
   Papers should be 3500-5000 words.
   - Speaker: We seek volunteers to synthesize these themes (see below) and
   address potential big-picture implications of these trends. Those
   interested in being a featured speaker should submit a c.v. and a brief
   essay (under 5000 words) on these themes.

*The deadline for all contributions is 8/18*. Contributions should be
emailed to Shannon Oltmann at shannon.oltmann at uky.edu. Contact Shannon
Oltmann with any questions.
