To close the project, we are holding an academic conference to present,
extend and deepen

the work of the project team. We are calling for review papers on topics
that address any

aspect of the seven project domains:

1. Citizenship and politics

2. Communities and identities

3. Communication and relationships

4. Health and wellbeing

5. Economy and sustainability

6. Data and representation

7. Governance and security

We are looking papers that offer systematic, thematic or methodological
reviews of existing

research on any aspect of the seven project domains. We are particularly
interested in papers

that build on reviews to offer analysis of research gaps and challenges for
social research in

the digital age. We intend to include selected conference papers in an
edited collection developed from the project.

Abstract submissions are sought by 21st July 2017 to:
