SUMMARY:Beyond Misinformation: Towards a Research Agenda for Information Ecosystems\, Network Dynamics and Emergent Epistemologies | C4 lab
DESCRIPTION:This workshop starts from the premise that the problem of online misinformation is a symptom\, not a cause. While undeniably problematic\, misinformation is the current cause célèbre of a larger class of pathological dynamics that have emerged in our evolving digital media ecosystems and cause harm at different systemic levels. These dynamics are exacerbated by many aspects of our evolving digital infrastructure\, including the affordances of different media platforms\, algorithmic filters\, the loss of trusted gatekeepers\, the attention economy\, and ever evolving modes of journalism. Additionally\, cognitive factors as well as offline social structures\, including systems of oppression\, play an enormous role in shaping the consensual realities that emerge in digital spaces. \nThis is a wicked problem\, and while many dimensions of the problem have been examined\, a more complete articulation requires the synthesis of insights from scholars across many disciplines. Our hope is that this workshop will provide a vehicle for this process and pave the way to a research agenda that leads to solutions. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Misinformation: Stopping the spread | Alliance for Science
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nHumans are now able to access information through more channels than ever before\, exposing us to potentially dangerous conspiracy theories and deliberate disinformation campaigns. How and why does misinformation start? And what can we do to slow or stop its viral online spread? Join our panel of experts as they discuss ways to encourage critical thinking and promote digital literacy within the global contexts of public health\, food security and the climate crisis. Speakers include Daniel Otunge\, director of the Africa Science Media Centre; Amy Pisani\, executive director of Vaccinate your Family; John Cook\, research fellow in the Monash Climate Change Communication Research Hub at Monash University\, and Devorah Adler\, founder of the online disinformation-disrupting tool known as Triple Check. AfS Director Sarah Evanega will moderate. \n[…]\n\n\n
