SUMMARY:The Capitol Coup One Year Later: How Research can Assess and Counter Threats to Democracy | GWU Institute for Data\, Democracy\, and Politics
DESCRIPTION:The George Washington University’s Institute for Data\, Democracy & Politics (IDDP) and The University of North Carolina’s Center for Information\, Technology\, and Public Life (CITAP) invite you to join them for The Capitol Coup One Year Later: How Research Can Assess and Counter Threats to Democracy\, a two day conference exploring key questions surrounding January 6\, 2021. \nDay One features a keynote talk from Emily Van Duyn on the theme of “How does our research help us understand what happened on January 6?” \nDr. Emily Van Duyn is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. Before coming to Illinois\, Van Duyn earned her PhD in Communication Studies at The University of Texas at Austin and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University with the Program on Democracy and the Internet. Her research explores why people talk (or do not talk) about politics and the role of digital media in facilitating a space for community and political discourse. \n[…]

SUMMARY:The January 6 insurrection: One year later | The Brookings Institution
DESCRIPTION:Nearly one year ago\, a violent mob broke into the United States Capitol in an effort to halt the certification of the electoral vote and overturn the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump. The insurrection was\, thankfully\, unsuccessful. But its echoes continue to reverberate today: Many in the Republican Party attempt to deny\, minimize\, or normalize the legacy of the attempted coup\, while investigators in both the Justice Department and Congress continue to dig into exactly what happened that day. \nOn January 6\, 2022\, an expert panel will reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot and discuss its lasting effects. What have Americans learned over the last year about the causes of the riot and the people who attended and engineered it? How have government institutions responded—or failed to respond—to the violence? And how should we understand what January 6 means for the health of American democracy going forward? \n[…]

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Discriminating Data: Wendy Hui Kyong Chun in Conversation with Sarah Banet-Weiser | Annenberg
DESCRIPTION:In Discriminating Data: Correlation\, Neighborhoods\, and the New Politics of Recognition\, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun reveals how polarization is a goal—not an error—within big data and machine learning. These methods\, she argues\, encode segregation\, eugenics\, and identity politics through their default assumptions and conditions. Correlation\, which grounds big data’s predictive potential\, stems from twentieth-century eugenic attempts to “breed” a better future. Recommender systems foster angry clusters of sameness through homophily. Users are “trained” to become authentically predictable via a politics and technology of recognition. Machine learning and data analytics thus seek to disrupt the future by making disruption impossible. \nChun\, who has a background in systems design engineering as well as media studies and cultural theory\, explains that although machine learning algorithms may not officially include race as a category\, they embed whiteness as a default. Facial recognition technology\, for example\, relies on the faces of Hollywood celebrities and university undergraduates—groups not famous for their diversity. Homophily emerged as a concept to describe white U.S. resident attitudes to living in biracial yet segregated public housing. Predictive policing technology deploys models trained on studies of predominantly underserved neighborhoods. Trained on selected and often discriminatory or dirty data\, these algorithms are only validated if they mirror this data. \n[…]\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Combating Health-Related Misinformation and Disinformation | University of Minnesota School of Public Health
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that health-related misinformation and disinformation can dangerously undermine the response to a public health crisis. Misleading information\, intentional or not\, has a myriad of effects\, including reduced trust in public health responders\, increased belief in false medical cures\, and politicization of public health measures. The spread of these falsehoods has led to more infections\, deaths\, disruption\, and disorganization of the effort to combat the pandemic\, and it is likely these problems will persist in future public health emergencies. In this talk\, Dr. Sell will describe ways to understand the how and why misinformation infiltrates our public discourse and potential paths forward in combating health-related misinformation and disinformation. \nFree and Open to the Public \nThe lecture honors the memory of Carl J. Martinson\, MD\, who founded the Minnetonka Hospital\, The Martinson Clinic\, and who actively promulgated good health habits as the way to a productive\, long\, happy life. \n[…]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n .tribe-events-single-event-description \n .tribe-events-cal-links \n Event meta  \n\n #post-x  \n Event footer  \n #tribe-events-footer  \n\n

SUMMARY:FSI | Cyber - Inclusive Content Moderation Is Innovative Content Moderation
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, January 25 from 12 PM – 1 PM PT for “Inclusive Content Moderation Is Innovative Content Moderation” featuring Aerica Shimizu Banks\, founder of Shiso in conversation with Julie Owono\, executive director of the Content Policy and Society Lab. This weekly seminar series is jointly organized by the Cyber Policy Center’s Program on Democracy and the Internet and the Hewlett Foundation’s Cyber Initiative. \nContent moderation policies are perhaps the most scrutinized aspects of online platform operations\, and are implicated in the most urgent current and political events globally. And yet\, companies struggle to meet the moment\, in part because of historical ignorance of a foundational component to adaptive policies: inclusion and accessibility. In creating the Beyond The Statement: Tech Framework for Color Of Change\, Aerica Shimizu Banks illuminated a pathway to consistent and nimble innovation through  the “Curb-Cut Effect” of inclusive practices and policies. This presentation will explore how she found\, through developing this framework\, that the more inclusive a policy\, the more innovative possibilities become for content moderation. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Can Humor Help Us Fight Misinformation About Science? | Northwest Science Writers Association
DESCRIPTION:What’s the best way to fight the spread of misinformation? When someone shares misleading facts about vaccines or climate change on Twitter\, should we be furious — or should we try to be funny? \nRecent research suggests that humor has an important role in countering misinformation about science. One study found that scientists are perceived as more likable\, but no less credible\, when they use humor to communicate their ideas. \nHow does it work? And what does it mean for journalists and science communicators? To find out\, please join us on Thursday\, January 27 from 5:00-6:00 p.m. Pacific for a lively discussion with experts from academia\, journalism\, and comedy writing. \n[…]
