SUMMARY:Data and Democracy Symposium | Knight First Amendment Institute
DESCRIPTION:Today\, governments and private actors can collect\, store\, and continuously update vast troves of data. Yet we have barely begun to understand the impact on our democracy of large-scale data collection and the use of such data sets to make decisions that can dramatically impact individual lives and entire communities. \nThe Data and Democracy Symposium will investigate what our changing capacities to capture\, analyze\, and manipulate data mean for self-government\, and ask how the law must adapt to ensure the conditions for a robust democracy. Organized by the Institute’s Senior Visiting Research Scholar\, Yale Law Professor Amy Kapczynski\, and co-sponsored by the Law and Political Economy Project at Yale Law School\, the symposium will focus on three areas that are both central to democratic governance and directly affected by advancing technologies and ever-increasing data collection: 1) public opinion formation and access to information; 2) the formation and exercise of public power; and 3) the political economy of data. \n[…] \n\n\n\n\n end article metadata  \n\n end article social  end article body

SUMMARY:American Anthropological Association Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:[if lt IE 9]> \n\n“We are thrilled to announce the theme of the 2020 AAA Annual Meeting to be held in St. Louis\, MO: Truth and Responsibility. \n“Truth and Responsibility” is a call to reimagine anthropology to meet the demands of the present moment. The imperative to bear witness\, take action\, and be held accountable to the truths we write and circulate invites us to reflect on our responsibility in reckoning with disciplinary histories\, harms\, and possibilities. To whom are we giving evidence and toward what ends? For whom are we writing? To whom are we accountable\, and in what ways? \nMany consider anthropology to be a holistic social science dedicated to cross-cultural understanding as a way to reduce bigotry and more fully comprehend “what it means to be human.” Others push against this readily circulated origin story\, arguing that “human” remains a highly contested\, political category—evident as the presumed set of rights and protections associated with the “human” continue to be stripped away violently in the communities in which some of us live and work. Which violent histories and epistemologies must anthropologists take responsibility for in telling truth(s) about the discipline’s development? How do the dual histories of settler colonialism and slavery continue to influence anthropological thought and practices? In these political times\, how can anthropologists throughout the globe work to secure a capacious\, progressive vision of the human? How might movements for anti-racism\, decoloniality\, queer liberation\, and healing such as #BlackLivesMatter\, #ProtectMaunaKea\, and #MeToo push a future anthropology out of the ashes of the anthropological past? Finally\, what are the limits and possibilities of the anthropological imagination? \nAcross subfields\, we find truths in patterns of human behavior\, language\, evolution\, and cultural worlds. Industry-positioned anthropologists do this by extending the boundaries of the discipline not as an administrative solution to job shortages but as a source of intervention and knowledge production. Increasingly\, anthropologists who make use of the scientific method question how status and identity help to decide which facts come to represent truth. How might quantitative researchers use our methods to identify patterned truths\, and what responsibility do we hold in challenging conventional wisdom about these patterns? What responsibility do we have to both our colleagues and larger publics\, to push toward increased transparency and ethical grounding in our data collection\, analysis\, and presentation? \nLocated in the vicinity of one of the largest and most influential ancient Indigenous societies in North America and miles from the #FergusonUprising\, St. Louis is a useful site for anthropologists to reckon with anthropological practices and their impact. What is the responsibility of contemporary anthropology to repair relationships with communities who have historically been the target of our discipline? As practitioners\, students\, and professors increasingly resemble these communities\, how can we create new pedagogical\, archeological\, ethnographic\, and mentoring practices? What barriers—in anthropology generally and the American Anthropological Association (AAA) specifically—exclude those whose truths are uncomfortable or inconvenient? What might our discipline and organizations look like if we were to honestly confront barriers that exclude marginalized and contingent scholars? \nPedagogy is a key medium for the communication of anthropological truths. Which (and whose) truths are foregrounded in our curricula? What are the possibilities for a liberatory pedagogy in a precarious\, “post-truth” era? Conferences\, museums\, organizing spaces\, and classrooms are sites where pedagogy and various forms of communication can help us interrogate the performativity of truth. How might anthropologists conceive of truth performances? Might visual\, aural\, and choreographic performances during AAA sessions offer anthropologists alternative genres for truth-telling and truth-making that provoke discussions about responsibility? \nIn accordance with the urgency of the year’s theme\, the questions posed in this call for papers do not have easy answers. The hope is that those who submit proposals will take up these questions and engage in collective thinking and imagining about the truths we hold\, the truths we challenge\, and the responsibilities we bear in co-creating a free and more equitable world. All panel proposals should have a statement about how the panel has incorporated the goals of equity\, diversity\, and inclusion\, and/or an analysis of power.”

SUMMARY:IDeaS Institute and Conference | Center for Informed Democracy & Social - cybersecurity (IDeaS) - Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:2020 has been a year marked by worldwide crises and changes\, including a global pandemic\, efforts to increase social justice\, nation-shaping elections\, massive wildfires and other environmental events\, to name just a few. These crises and changes—in particular\, their social dimensions—have been directly impacted and shaped by disinformation\, influence campaigns\, and other efforts to undermine people’s understanding and autonomy. \nWe will hold a special virtual conference on Social-cybersecurity in Times of Crisis and Change this November 2020. This conference aims to advance the science of social-cybersecurity through research and applications that address two questions. How does the unprecedented scale of false information and its spread impact human activity in times of crisis and social change? And\, what are the mechanisms that enable or contain the spread of false information during these times? \nThe institute and conference charge no registration fee but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Technology and Governance: Exploring law and innovation in the absence of state governance | The Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy (PCMLP)
DESCRIPTION:Innovation and technological advancements are continuous\, evolving products of knowledge consolidation\, human ingenuity\, and adaptive capacity. New forms of communication\, banking\, farming\, and transportation technology have transformed the physical and social landscape of a rapidly globalizing world. Innovation often emerges in the face of a challenge\, when the status quo fails to adequately meet the needs of a population. Governments and international actors often emphasize the role of the state as the regulator and facilitator of innovation and technological advancement\, particularly in the developing world. However\, other forms of social and political ordering can often exert their own authority over and through technology\, but they are often overlooked. Particularly where the state may have limited reach other public authorities\, and legal frameworks (such as customary law and religious laws) may provide important frameworks for innovation to thrive. \n[…]\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Computation + Journalism Symposium 2021
DESCRIPTION:C+J 2021 — A virtual gathering\nFrom the outset\, 2020 looked like it would be a year of data and computation in journalism. Think of the events that were planned — from the 2020 Presidential Election to the decennial census\, to the Summer Olympics\, to the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. Each of these stories had rich possibilities for collaborations between journalism and the computing and data sciences. Tragically\, as we know well\, an even bigger story dominates the news\, COVID-19. As the full force of the pandemic continues to unfold\, we see that it is a story also told in data\, in models\, and in predictions — helping the public make critical decisions about the health of their families and communities. \nThe Computation+Journalism (C+J) conference is a venue where journalists and researchers meet. It is a setting where news organizations can learn about new methods to source\, produce and distribute their journalism\, and where researchers in the computational and social sciences learn about important open questions that news organizations are struggling with\, from business models to database technologies\, to new frameworks for data visualization. \nLike most meetings of its kind\, C+J has historically been an in-person affair. And the COVID-19 outbreak gives us two choices — cancel the conference or expand it in ways that were previously unthinkable. The program committee has decided on the latter.  \nSource: Computation + Journalism Symposium 2021

SUMMARY:No Going Back: Global Communication & Post-Pandemic Politics | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:On suddenly sparse streets\, artists confront the grim reality of the moment. With a nod to the anti-globalization movement or the music notes seemingly playing off the guest that has overstayed its welcome\, both messages diagnose the ailment and gesture toward a hope for and belief in change. In a moment shaped by closures — of borders\, stores\, schools\, offices\, jobs\, and\, for many\, a dream of “going back to normal” — what openings are made possible? \nThe second biennial early career conference by the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) at the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania asks: What are post-pandemic politics? We understand post-pandemic\, not as a myopic focus on COVID-19\, but rather as an optic illuminating both persistent and emergent conditions of inequity and precarity. We also use post-pandemic as an opportunity to imagine new forms of politics\, community\, solidarity\, and action.

SUMMARY:Section 230: Protections Can Legal Revisions or Novel Technologies Limit Online Misinformation and Abuse: A Workshop (Day 1) | National Academies
DESCRIPTION:This is the first day of a virtual workshop to identify key issues for consideration in the reexamination of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.  Section 230 provides Internet-based technology companies and social media platforms with immunity from civil liability for hosting user-generated content and in the removal or moderation of user-generated content. While Section 230 has played a significant role in the development of the Internet as a platform for the global exchange of information and ideas\, disinformation and abuse on social media has become an issue of increasing concern. The workshop will explore how law\, policy\, and technology might better enable management of third party content while preserving free speech and democratic norms. \n[…]\n

SUMMARY:Reimagine the Internet | Knight First Amendment Institute
DESCRIPTION:Reimagine the Internet is a virtual conference co-hosted by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and the soon-to-be-launched Institute for Digital Public Infrastructure at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. In six sessions over five days\, there will be more than a dozen speakers whose work hints at what the internet could become over the next decade. \nAs the internet has become an inescapable part of our commercial\, social\, and civic lives\, the flaws and harms of the contemporary internet have become increasingly apparent. Despite rhetoric of decentralization\, monopolies and points of control have arisen online\, and powerful corporations have largely unregulated power over vast swaths of speech and commerce. The spaces these corporations have built may be having significant negative effects on our democracies\, leading towards political polarization\, the spread of mis/disinformation\, and the growth of politically influential conspiracy theories. \nSource: Reimagine the Internet: A virtual conference exploring what the internet could become over the next decade | Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University

SUMMARY:Deepfakes\, Disinformation\, and Democracy | ITIF
DESCRIPTION:The media has long played an important role in a healthy democracy\, providing citizens with access to accurate news and information that allows them to effectively participate in democratic processes. However\, the growing threat from deepfakes and disinformation\, from both foreign and domestic sources\, threatens to overwhelm the ability of individuals to discern fact from fiction\, create new divides in society\, and allow conspiracies\, lies\, and hoaxes to fester online. \nThe public and private sectors have already launched multiple initiatives to address this problem\, including expanding R&D to identify fake content and developing standards to improve attribution for authentic content. In this half-day virtual policy conference\, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF)\, in collaboration with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) U.S. Technology Policy Committee (USTPC) and the Online News Association (ONA)\, will bring together key stakeholders\, experts\, and thought leaders to discuss the future of deepfakes\, disinformation\, and democracy. \n[…]\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Annual IDeaS Conference: Disinformation\, Hate Speech\, and Extremism Online | Center for Informed Democracy & Social - cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:Natural disasters\, elections\, climate changes\, insurrections\, pandemics\, and new technologies are rocking the world. People talk about events\, both these massive ones and much smaller ones\, on line. Social media platforms\, search engines and websites have become the window through which these events are viewed and interpreted.  Those on social media seek and shape information\, build and join communities\, often with impacts in the physical world. One consequence is an online breeding ground for growing and disseminating disinformation\, hate speech and extremism.  In this conference we ask: How is this done?  Who is doing it? Why is it being done? What are the social consequences? How can it be countered? \n[…]
