[Air-L] Call for Papers - ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency

[danah boyd]

Hi y'all!

FAT* is an interdisciplinary ACM conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. The 2019 conference will be held in Atlanta in Jan or Feb or 2019. (I'm co-general-chairing it.) Rooted in computer science (this conference emerged out of a conference focused on machine learning), there are multiple tracks for different CS sub-disciplines, but we are also seeking papers across the social scientific, legal, and humanistic perspectives. There are two tracks dedicated to these - one on empirical research on FAT topics and one rooted in policy/critical analysis methods. While papers at FAT* can be archival, you can also have the opportunity to treat this as a workshop and submit your paper for publication elsewhere.

I'd love to see amazing research from this community presented at FAT*2019 so I want to invite you to submit a paper. Papers (8-10 pages, due August 23) are double-blind peer reviewed and published in conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library if you'd like. (As mentioned you can also opt for non-archival submission, but are still subject to the same rigorous review process.)

Please forward this call to other people or groups you think may be interested. I am very excited by how this conference has started to bridge different conversations and I'm excited that we'll be able to take it to the next level this year!
