SUMMARY:Annenberg Conversations on Gender: From Algorithm Audits to Accountability | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:In this conversation\, Duncan Watts and Danaë Metaxa will discuss Metaxa’s research using algorithm audits to measure gender and racial bias in online services such as Google Images. In addition to exploring the relevance of Metaxa’s work to algorithmic systems\, the discussion will also touch on the importance of reconciling the sometimes competing epistemic values of computer science and social science\, as well as the clash between the general and the particular. Finally\, they will discuss the relationship between a researchers’ own identity\, the work they choose to do\, and the way both are perceived in a sometimes hostile professional environment. \n[…]\n\n\n\n  \n\n

SUMMARY:CARGC Book Talk: Visions of Beirut: The Urban Life of Media Infrastructure | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:In Visions of Beirut\, Hatim El-Hibri explores how the creation and circulation of images has shaped the urban spaces and cultural imaginaries of Beirut. Drawing on fieldwork and texts ranging from maps\, urban plans\, and aerial photographs to live television and drone-camera footage\, El-Hibri traces the histories of how the technologies and media infrastructure that visualize the city are used to consolidate or destabilize regimes of power. \nThroughout the twentieth century\, colonial\, economic\, and military mapping projects helped produce and govern its spaces. In the 1990s\, the imagery of its post-civil war downtown reconstruction cast Beirut as a site of financial investment in ways that obscured its ongoing crises. During and following the 2006 Israel/Hizbullah war\, Hizbullah’s use of live television broadcasts of fighting and protests along with its construction of a war memorial museum at a former secret military bunker demonstrate the tension between visualizing space and the practices of concealment. \nOutlining how Beirut’s urban space and public life intertwine with images and infrastructure\, El-Hibri interrogates how media embody and exacerbate the region’s political fault lines. \n[…] \n

SUMMARY:Becoming a digital power: Japan’s path for domestic transformation and international influence | Brookings Institute
DESCRIPTION:With the growing risk of the fragmentation of the international digital ecosystem\, prioritizing digital transformation has never been more important for Japan. The country’s digital transformation will largely determine its ability to adjust to profound demographic changes brought on by an ageing and contracting population\, find new sources of competitiveness and drivers for productivity at home\, and consolidate its international role in securing a data governance regime that delivers on the promise of free data flows with trust. Closing the digitization gap has emerged as a central priority for both government and industry as evidenced in the launch of the new Digital Agency. Can Japan overcome the challenges ahead to become a successful digital power? \n[…]

SUMMARY:Lies and Democracy | Knight First Amendment Institute
DESCRIPTION:“No one has ever doubted that truth and politics are on rather bad terms with each other\, and no one\, as far as I know\, has ever counted truthfulness among the political virtues\,” wrote Hannah Arendt in 1967. Today\, concerns run especially high over the fraught relationship between truth and politics\, as majorities of Republican voters in some polls reportedly believe the “Big Lie” peddled by Donald Trump and many other political and media elites that the election was stolen from Trump through widespread fraud. Much of the discussion of the Big Lie has been ahistorical: It has focused on the strange and disturbing particularities of the present moment. But how unique is this kind of political lie in the United States? What does it reveal about American democracy? And how much of a threat do lies pose to the democratic order? \n\n\n\n end event intro  \n\n\n\n\n end article metadata  \n\n end article social  \n end article body

SUMMARY:Anti-Asian Sentiment Before Covid-19 | Digital Democracies Institute
DESCRIPTION:Event Listing Header  \n\n\nAs many media accounts have recounted\, Stop AAPI Hate reported that anti-Asian violence soared during the first wave of the 2020 COVID19 pandemic. From mid-March 2020 to the end of February 2021\, 3\,795 “Anti-Asian hate incidents” were reported to Stop AAPI Hate. North of the U.S. border in the Canadian province of British Columbia\, “Anti-Asian hate crimes” reportedly increased by 717% in 2020. Focusing on recent developments in social media\, this event will examine the longer historical context of anti-Asian violence\, interrogating why and how sentiments such as “hate” and acts of violence committed by individuals have become the primary framework for understanding Asian racialization. Within this context\, Grace Hong will speak about “Affect\, Sentiment\, and the Human: Love and Hate in a Time of Anti-Asian Violence”\, and Lisa Nakamura will discuss “Women of Color and the Digital Labor of Repair”.\n\n[…]
