SUMMARY:Association of Internet Researchers Conference 2019 (#AoIR2019)
DESCRIPTION:“The Association of Internet Researchers is pleased to announce Queensland University of Technology\, Brisbane\, Australia as the site of #AoIR2019. For only the second time in its history\, the AoIR conference will cross the equator and be held in the southern hemisphere\, returning to Brisbane and QUT where it was hosted in 2006. The conference takes place on 2-5 October 2019. \nTrust is one of the most critical issues of our time: trust in our fellow Internet users; trust in the information we encounter in our online environments; trust in the data we produce and in the data that are continuously produced about us; trust in the algorithms that process and evaluate these data; trust in those who create the digital content we consume; trust in platforms and intermediaries that maintain our online spaces and that manage and trade in these data; trust in our national and regional governments that engage citizens over the Internet; trust in grassroots\, social welfare and non-government organisations; trust in the regulatory bodies and political systems that are in charge of governing these systems of exchange. At every level\, and spurred on by a rise in extremism and increased suspicion of others\, our trust in the system is being challenged\, presenting challenges for existing institutions and the opportunity to imagine new ones. The 2019 conference of the Association of Internet Researchers addresses these questions of trust. The full Call for Proposals is here.“

SUMMARY:Disinformation and Elections in East and South East Asia: Digital Futures and Fragile Democracies
DESCRIPTION:Event Listing Header  \n\n\n“A recent series of elections in Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, the Philippines and indeed across Asia has highlighted the salience of digital media in political campaigns and insidious modes of electoral manipulation. This two-day workshop aims to gather evidence into the operations and impact of digital disinformation in the context of recent Asian elections. \nThe conference approaches Asia as a site in which disinformation in various digital and analog forms have not only deep local histories but also radical acceleration and innovation the likes of which have little to no precedent in advanced liberal democracies in the West. Many Asian countries lead in both scale and intensity of technological adoption and use while serving as “laboratories” for testing and experimentation by Big Tech firms\, with minimal oversight and accountability to the potentially grave consequences of algorithmic tweaks\, the dispersed labor of content moderation\, and new platform rollouts. Thus we seek to develop a framework that examines the social and political ramifications of this process beyond the region. \nThe two-day event aims for interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to thinking through issues of disinformation that draw from areas of sociology\, politics\, media and communication studies\, journalism studies\, critical legal studies\, information science\, and anthropology.” \n\n\n\n Event Listing Body  \n\n Listing Hero Details  \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
