Subject: [acc-cca-l] The Social Life of Artificial Intelligence May 8 to 26
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
Apologies for cross-posting but I'd like to announce that I'm co- running a Summer Institute @ Concordia from May 8 to 26
This Summer Institute reflects on the rapidly evolving social life of artificial intelligence. Course topics include technical matters of AI?s basic operation as well as theoretical discussions about AI's ethics. Over three weeks, participants work individually and in teams to learn key methods of assessing AI's social impacts.
For more details and to apply, see: https://www.concordia.ca/summer/sgs.html
Other information copied below.
Artificial intelligence has gone public. Once a matter of scientific research, AI has become a household name. ChatGPT introduced the public to the experimental large language models while Stable Diffusion and other text-to-image models helped millions imagine how an AI dreams. This Summer Institute reflects on the rapidly evolving social life of artificial intelligence, looking to understand the social impacts of many new applications of artificial intelligence.
Students will over the course of the three-week spring school will:
Be introduced to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence;
Apply emergent methods for AI auditing and impact assessment;
Debate the foundations of ethical AI and the relationship between technology and social development;
Participate in an international symposium and synthesize key debates in the field over the social shaping of AI
The class, like Concordia?s Applied AI Institute, is intentionally interdisciplinary. Course topics include technical matters of AI?s basic operation as well as theoretical discussions about AI?s ethics.
Over three weeks, participants work individually and in teams to learn key methods of assessing AI?s social impacts. Methodologies to be introduced include:
Datasheets and data provenance;
Algorithmic Impact Assessments
Ethnopolitical Theory; and,
Futures literacy.
Students will learn these methods through applied group activities facilitated by the Applied AI Institute. A typical day involves a morning check-in and discussion, a lunch-time keynote, and an afternoon of independent study on class activities applying key methods and readings introduced in the class.
Participants can apply to two streams:
Social science and humanities students with aptitude in Computer Science
Computer Science Students with specialization in Engineering in Society
All applicants are expected to submit a CV and complete a short entry form.
Participants will be invited to participate in a two-day international symposium gathering leading experts on AI?s public representation of AI. The symposium, (un)Stable Diffusion hosted at the Milieux Institute, involves two days of talks, keynote panels, and arts events meant to question ways to represent AI publicly.
Who can apply:
Graduate Students.
Requirements
Participants can apply to two streams:
Social science and humanities students with aptitude in Computer Science
Computer Science Students with specialization in Engineering in Society
All applicants are expected to submit a CV and complete a short entry form.
Be good,
Fenwick

14 avril 2023, 9h-12h (15h-18h ? Paris) - Formule hybride
Genre et religion: ?tudier le genre dans l'islam
[cid:4eacd50c-5acc-4570-91be-d0f35e3bbecf]
Le cinqui?me s?minaire de l'ann?e 2022-2023 aura lieu le vendredi 14 avril de 9h ? 12h ? Montr?al (15h ? 18h ? Paris), sous le titre Genre et religion: ?tudier le genre dans l'Islam. Il sera possible d'y assister sur zoom et ?galement en pr?sentiel ? Montr?al (UQAM, salle R-R150).
N'oubliez pas de vous inscrire en ?crivant ? cricis at uqam.ca en indiquant si vous serez en Zoom ou en pr?sentiel. Un lien vous sera envoy? la veille du s?minaire. Le s?minaire est gratuit et ouvert ? toustes!
? cette occasion, nous accueillerons :
* Azadeh Kian, professeure de sociologie, directrice du CEDREF et des Cahiers du CEDREF, universit? Paris Cit?
* Leila Benhadjoudja, Professeure adjointe ? l'?cole d'?tudes sociologiques et anthropologiques de l'Universit? d'Ottawa
R?sum?s des communications:
Azadeh Kian: ??Genre et islam : d?fis ?pist?mologiques et m?thodologiques
Le climat passionnel actuel autour de la question de l?islam en g?n?ral et genre et islam en particulier rend tr?s difficile le travail scientifique consistant ? appr?hender cette probl?matique dans sa complexit?. D?autant que les lois islamiques discriminatoires ? l?encontre des femmes sont en vigueur dans beaucoup de pays musulmans (dont mon pays natal l?Iran) et une confusion entre l?islam et l?islam politique est entretenue tant par les r?gimes et les groupes islamistes que par leurs d?tracteurs.
Afin de travailler sur genre et pouvoir en islam (depuis l?av?nement de l?islam jusqu?? aujourd?hui), j?ai ?t? conduite ? relever les d?fis tant m?thodologiques qu??pist?mologiques, travailler sur moi-m?me et apprendre ? d?sapprendre ou me d?faire de mes pr?jug?s li?s ? mon ?ducation et mon v?cu.
Leila Benhadjoudja: la double conscience en recherche acad?mique. De quelques enjeux sur la racialisation et la positionnalit?
La recherche acad?mique f?ministe reconna?t d?embl?e la positionnalit? comme ?l?ment structurant dans la construction des savoirs et des m?thodologies. D?s lors, les enjeux de subjectivation des chercheur.e.s ne peuvent ?tre dissoci?s de leur rapport aux objets et aux th?orisations qu?iels approchent. ? la lumi?re de ? la double conscience ?, je discuterai particuli?rement les enjeux de racisation dans le cadre de la recherche f?ministe musulmane.
A propos des intervenantes
Azadeh Kian est professeure de Sociologie (Classe exceptionnelle), Universit? Paris Cit?, directrice du Cedref et des Cahiers du Cedref. Elle a obtenu le Master et le PhD en sociologie politique et historique ? l?universit? de Californie, Los Angeles (UCLA). Ses recherches et enseignements portent sur Genre et islam, politique et soci?t? au Moyen-Orient, genre et th?ories postcoloniales et intersectionnelles.
Leila Benhadjoudja est une f?ministe antiraciste. Ses recherches portent sur le racisme et l?antiracisme au Qu?bec, et ses principales publications portent sur l?islamophobie et le f?minisme musulman. Elle est la co-fondatrice du Festival f?ministe d?Ottawa, passionn?e par la justice sociale, le v?lo et la danse.
? propos du s?minaire
Co-organis? par le LabSIC (Laboratoire des Sciences de l?information et de la communication, Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord, France) et le CRICIS (Centre interuniversitaire sur la communication, l?information et la soci?t?, Qu?bec, Canada), le s?minaire Genre(s) et m?thodes (GEM) s?attache ? ?tudier les questions f?ministes, intersectionnelles et de genre(s) en termes de m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies. Concept transdisciplinaire fluide et non fig?, le genre ? ou les genres, pour ?chapper ? un fonctionnement social binaire ? a fait l?objet de travaux qui, en proposant un d?centrement radical, ont transform? le paysage des sciences sociales et humaines tout au long du XXe si?cle. Ce s?minaire a pour objectif de proposer un espace pour discuter des apports de ces ?tudes ? la pratique scientifique. Nous y discutons des fa?ons de faire de la recherche lorsqu?on travaille sur le(s) genre(s), de ses / leurs articulations avec d?autres formes de minoration, et du pouvoir critique de cet outil pour d?sessentialiser le monde social. Cherchant ? soustraire la r?flexion ? la pens?e universaliste, nous y d?centrons les regards pour aborder les questions de luttes, de r?sistances, ? l?exemple de celles de corps racis?s qui subissent diff?rents rapports de domination. Nous r?fl?chissons ? la fa?on dont sont op?r?s les d?centrements des concepts et aux d?marches mises en ?uvre pour d?construire les normes dominantes sur les identit?s de genre, les sexualit?s et d?autres rapports de pouvoir comme la classe ou la race. Pluriels, les questionnements portent sur la capacit? ? penser le positionnement de la chercheuse ou du chercheur, son engagement, sa subjectivit?, le d?voilement de biais en termes de production ou d?interpr?tation de donn?es, la r?flexivit? sur ces biais en tant que ressources heuristiques, ?pist?miques ou politiques, les questions ?thiques soulev?es par des objets per?us comme impurs, ou encore l?historiographie ou l?analyse du caract?re genr? d?un objet ou d?un dispositif d?enqu?te? Il s?av?re pertinent de mettre au jour et d?analyser les fa?ons dont le(s) genre(s) ? ainsi que les concepts qui lui / leur sont rattach?(s) ? sont travaill?s et reconstruits par le terrain? Enfin, cet espace de dialogue a aussi pour vocation d?interroger la possible singularit? des m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies des approches par le genre et des ?tudes f?ministes et intersectionnelles. Ce s?minaire met en lumi?re des travaux s?inscrivant dans les champs des m?dias et de la communication, et plus largement en sciences humaines et sociales (sociologie, histoire, anthropologie, sciences politiques ou philosophie?).
Au plaisir de vous y retrouver!
H?l?ne Bourdeloie, Lena H?bner et Justine Dorval

Dear colleagues,
Join us for "F?ueling Extractive Populism in Canada: Social Media, Subsidized Publics and Petro-Nationalism", a webinar with environmental communication and digital media researchers Shane Gunster, Robert Neubauer and Darren Fleet, Tuesday May 9, 6:30-8:00pm EST.
Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/fueling-extractive-populism-in-canada-tickets-607405826177
Over the past decade, the fossil fuel industry and its advocates have built robust social networks on platforms like Facebook that they have used to cultivate populist visions of extractivism as essential to the well-being of Canadians, under attack by progressive elites and imperative to defend through political mobilization. More recently, such appeals have also come to anchor far-right conspiracy narratives that stoke fear and anger about the prospect of a just transition. In this webinar, we will explore the core features of extractive populism, the use of platforms to build self-contained far-right media ecologies that can propagate industry narratives and mobilize supporters, the intersection between religion and petro-nationalism, and thoughts about developing different narratives about the country?s future.
Shane Gunster is associate professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University and a research associate with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. His research and teaching focus on news and advocacy communication around the politics of climate and energy, with an emphasis upon how social media platforms and alternative news media outlets engage and mobilize different publics in different ways around the climate crisis. He is the co-author (with Robert Hackett, Susan Forde and Kerrie Foxwell-Norton) of Journalism and Climate Crisis: Public Engagement, Media Alternatives (Routledge, 2017).
Robert Neubauer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Rhetoric, Writing, and Communications at the University of Winnipeg. His research explores the media strategies of Canadian environmental and pro-resource extraction social movements, with a focus on populist discourse, public mobilization around proposed energy infrastructure, and digital platforms.
Darren Fleet is a limited term lecturer at Simon Fraser University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University. His research interests include: advertising, environmental discourse, petroculture, religious social movements, and the cultural politics of fossil fuels in Canada.
Organized by the Centre on Hate, Bias & Extremism (CHBE). Co-sponsored by Energy Humanities and the Petrocultures Research Group.

Pr?sentation
L?appel ? contributions de ce dossier commun entre les revues tic&soci?t? et Creis-Terminal traite de deux processus en cours depuis quelques ann?es : la transition num?rique et la transition ?cologique. Signalons que nos deux revues avaient d?j? publi? en 2016 un num?ro th?matique commun intitul? ? Contr?le social, surveillance et dispositifs num?riques ?. En 2022, nous renouvelons cette collaboration ?ditoriale.
En ce d?but de 21e si?cle, la plan?te enti?re est confront?e ? un risque majeur, celui de la crise climatique qui dans les prochaines d?cennies pourrait voir se multiplier hausse des temp?ratures et niveaux des mers, incendies et inondations. Ce r?chauffement climatique est annonc? depuis la fin du si?cle dernier par les sp?cialistes r?unis au sein du GIEC sans que les gouvernements aient pris des mesures effectives pour l?enrayer. ? cela s?ajoutent les menaces de rar?faction d?un certain nombre de produits essentiels pour nos ?conomies. En effet, notre mode de production et de consommation est incapable de prendre en compte la finitude de notre plan?te (Steffen et al., 2015).
Ainsi, nos soci?t?s sont confront?es ? deux injonctions majeures : la transition ?cologique et la transition num?rique (Monnoyer-Smith, 2017). La premi?re concerne le respect des limites plan?taires, dont celles li?es aux changements climatiques r?sultant de nos modes de vie, de production, de consommation et de transport dans la perspective d?un ? d?veloppement soutenable ? (Rapport Meadows, 1972). La seconde vise ? d?mat?rialiser la mise en relation afin de r?duire les co?ts de production, de commercialisation, en favorisant une vie ? distance. Pour les uns, la transition num?rique est un outil au service du d?veloppement soutenable. Pour les autres, elle est parfois une r?ponse, mais en tout cas pas la r?ponse appropri?e, puisque le num?rique engendre des r?percussions tr?s cons?quentes : extraction de terres rares (Pitron, 2019), pollution de l?eau et de l?air, consommation ?nerg?tique de plus en plus importante, d?chets ?lectroniques entre autres (Santarius et al., 2022 ; ARCEP, 2020 ; Desbois et al., 2010).
L?industrie num?rique prosp?re gr?ce ? une recette simple, ? savoir extraire les donn?es personnelles et vendre aux annonceurs des pr?dictions sur le comportement des utilisateurs et utilisatrices et in fine, de plus en plus, tendre ? orienter et ? piloter celui-ci. Certains d?noncent ainsi la transformation de notre mode de production en un ? capitalisme de surveillance ? (Zuboff, 2019).
Rappelons que pour les Nations-Unies, la contribution des technologies num?riques ? la poursuite des objectifs du ? d?veloppement durable ? s?appuie sur la mise en place d?infrastructures, la s?curisation des investissements, la promotion de l?innovation et le d?veloppement de strat?gies inclusives. Toutefois, les technologies num?riques ne s?av?rent pas toujours favorables ? la mise en ?uvre d?un d?veloppement soutenable (Ademe, 2019). D?o? la n?cessit? d?interroger l?interconnexion entre ces deux types de transition tant d?un point de vue technique, ?conomique, social, environnemental que culturel. Favorise-t-elle une hybridation ? Une compl?mentarit? ? Une opposition ? Davantage d?analyses circonstanci?es et de travaux plus approfondis sont n?cessaires pour appr?cier la situation. D?autant que les nouveaux modes de production, de consommation et de socialisation port?s par la transition num?rique viennent impacter les syst?mes complexes au sein desquels ces innovations technologiques ?mergent, en particulier les cha?nes d?approvisionnement et les r?seaux sociaux. L??conomie de plateformes y joue sa partition sp?cifique orchestr?e par une cr?ation de valeur davantage fond?e sur la production, la circulation et l?analyse de donn?es que sur la production directe de biens, am?nit?s et services tant ?conomiques que sociaux (Bacache-Beauvallet & Bourreau, 2022).
Th?mes
La publication se propose d?accueillir, soit des textes proposant une r?flexion th?orique ; soit des textes d?veloppant des analyses plus contextualis?es ou circonstanci?es. L?objectif est de mener une r?flexion sur les opportunit?s offertes, les limites impos?es et les r?sistances induites par cette vie ? distance en examinant compatibilit?s et incompatibilit?s entre transition num?rique et transition ?cologique. Elle s?attachera (entre autres) ? explorer les questionnements qui suivent, tout en accordant une place, dans la mesure du possible, aux enjeux communicationnels :
1. La transition num?rique implique une num?risation ? marche forc?e de la soci?t? : cela suppose plus de mat?riels, de logiciels, de r?seaux, de connexions donc plus d??nergie, de mati?res premi?res et de d?chets (Ademe, 2019). Est-ce compatible avec la transition ?cologique ? Comment rendre compte de leurs interactions ? Ce questionnement traite des repr?sentations sociales, des relations et des n?gociations entre industriels et usagers, ainsi que de la croissance des infrastructures et ?quipements de communication en regard de l?environnement (Iddri, FING, WWF France, GreenIT.fr, 2018) ;
2. La transition ?cologique n?cessite un ancrage dans le territoire favorisant le local, les circuits courts et la sobri?t? : cela suppose de nouveaux modes de production et de commercialisation (Baschet, 2021). Sont-ils compatibles avec la transition num?rique ? Ce questionnement porte plus particuli?rement sur le retour des sociabilit?s physiques (face ? face) dans un m?me lieu, l?apport du num?rique, dans l?ancrage territorial ou pour sortir du local, et de son impact socio?conomique en termes de strat?gies d?acteurs, d?am?nagement du territoire et de d?veloppement ?conomique et social (Haut Conseil pour le Climat, 2020) ;
3. Les transitions num?rique et ?cologique suscitent, l?une comme l?autre, un complexe d?innovations technologiques et organisationnelles dont les profils sont parfois disparates et jusqu?? un certain point contradictoires : des technologies ? haute intensit? capitalistique et ? forte valeur ajout?e (High Tech) telles que reconnaissance faciale, intelligence artificielle, ou communication satellitaire, c?toient des innovations plus frugales en capital, comme en technique (Low-Tech), sobres en ?nergie, plus facilement appropriables, ou r?silientes au r?chauffement-d?r?glement climatique (Vidalenc, 2019). Peut-on concilier voire articuler High-Tech et Low-Tech au sein d?un d?veloppement soutenable afin d?abaisser notre empreinte environnementale ? Ce questionnement aborde l?innovation num?rique (conception et d?ploiement de dispositifs et d?applications, nouveaux mod?les d?affaires, etc.) au prisme du possible, du d?sirable et d?une sobri?t? communicationnelle (The Shift Project, 2020) ;
4. Les transitions num?rique et ?cologique partagent un grand app?tit de donn?es (r?colte, traitement, production, commercialisation, etc.) de toutes natures, en particulier des donn?es personnelles. Mais, si les donn?es sur l??tat de la plan?te ont permis de comprendre les transformations du climat et de l?environnement (Cirac Claveras et Gossart, 2015), celles compil?es, stock?es par les grandes entreprises du num?rique, en particulier les GAFAM, visent avant tout la mise en place de nouveaux monopoles ? l??chelle du monde ainsi que le suivi et la pr?diction des comportements des utilisateurs et utilisatrices. Au-del? du R?glement g?n?ral sur la Protection des Donn?es (RGPD) de l?Union europ?enne, faut-il fuir, r?sister, r?duire ou esquiver l?envahissement du r?el par le num?rique ? Ce questionnement s?int?resse, aux usages, ? l?hyperconnectivit? (Carr? & Vidal, 2018), ? l??conomie de l?attention, aux sollicitations communicationnelles incessantes et ? la r?gulation des infrastructures num?riques et des donn?es tant d?un point de vue sociotechnique, socio?conomique que juridique (Gouvernement fran?ais, 2021).

Subject: [acc-cca-l] Events at Waterloo Games Institute
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
Hi all,
Please join us for two upcoming events (online or in-person) hosted the University of Waterloo Games Institute:
1. On Wednesday April 19 at 1PM EDT/UTC-4 Dr. Andre Brock will give a lecture: The Changing Same: Blackness, Representation, and Video Games. The talk is a discussion of the promise and peril of POC video game character voice acting, focusing primarily on the connections of Black male anger and Black fatherhood in God of War through the voice work of TC Carson and Christopher Judge, contextualized against the audio Brownface of two voice POC women characters in Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves. Please register with Eventbrite (for free) to receive the link to the online event.
2. On Tuesday April 25 at 1 PM EDT/UTC-4 Dr. Kishonna Gray, Dr. Liz Nilsen, and Dr. Rhona Hanning will discuss Just Relationships for Research. We are increasingly asked to envision and implement respectful and non-extractive research involving marginalized communities. But we are rarely challenged to bring those principles to bear in our own research groups, where asymmetries of institutional power between colleagues, students, and staff are normalized. This interdisciplinary panel will outline roles and responsibilities as well as best practices for graduate student supervision to frame a discussion of how to foster and maintain just relationships among researchers, with a focus on the principles and practices animating non-extractive student-supervisor relationships. Different panelist will share their knowledge of institutional guidelines for student supervision and/or experience with cultivating and leading non-oppressive research groups. The panelists will encourage conversations about what constitutes just research relationships within and across disciplinary and institutional contexts. Please register with Eventbrite (for free) to receive the link to the online event.
Best regards
Gerald

Message-ID:

Surveillance Studies Network Arts Prize 2024
The Surveillance Studies Network (SSN) is dedicated to the study of surveillance in all its forms. It promotes innovative and multidisciplinary work on surveillance, including research that bridges different academic fields, furthers the understanding of surveillance in wider society, and informs information policy and political debate. As a registered charitable company, the SSN is committed to the free distribution of scholarly products, including the publication of Surveillance & Society, the leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to surveillance studies.
As part of its mandate, the SSN seeks to encourage creative and artistic practices engaging with the topic of surveillance. As such, the Surveillance Studies Network Arts Prize is a bi-annual award that recognizes and publicly supports artwork centred on critical readings of surveillance.

Dear Canadian Communications Association Community -
Please join us for a Tierra Comun Data Colonialism Network (https://www.tierracomun.net) event this Thursday.
This event will be in Spanish with simultaneous translation in English.
How are communities using podcasting to build knowledge about data colonialism?
Thursday April 27 at 10 AM (CDT) (1 hour)
For a long time, sound and voice have been powerful media for communities in Latin America. For example, community radio has been used to engage in educational and informational efforts across different territories and contexts. Nowadays, podcasting offers a vast range of possibilities to expand on these affordances. This session seeks to explore how communities build on an established depth of knowledge to mobilize podcasting as a medium to obtain, build, and share knowledge.
Panellists:
Ernesto Lamas, University of Buenos Aires
Jose Luis Aguirre, WACC and the Radio and Television Capacity-Building Service of the Catholic University of Bolivia
Monica Valdes, World Association of Community Radio, Colombia

Data is usually positioned as discoverable fact, a container of meaning, or a solidified agreement about what's assumed to be true. These visions of data suggest a world contained, like a butterfly pinned to a board, ready for inspection. In contrast, relational approaches to data understand the world to be in constant motion and focus on processes of meaning making surrounding observations or experiences. For example, citizen science often uses positivist approaches to count and classify anthropocentric marine debris. In contrast, relational approaches might consider how beach trash makes us feel; imagine our relationships to the ocean under different 'truth' conditions; or explore representations of different marine species in struggles over how to 'know' the world. Relational approaches tell us that the truth of garbage on a beach is not in its existence, but in our mutual and collective subsistence; that data isn't about plastic but rather is plastic; and that data isn't a discrete entity, but rather is enmeshed in human relations. We seek papers about more-than-human approaches to data, information systems, research-creation and knowledge production with a particular focus on human relationships with natural and built environments. We are particularly interested in papers that challenge social processes based in 'containment' views of data (such as data repositories, citizen science, open government, etc.) and papers that explore and experiment with alternative ways of 'doing data.'

## Description
Join Yves Winkin, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, Peter Lunt, Greg Smith, and Filipa Subtil for a discussion of Erving Goffman?s 1953 dissertation, ?Communication Conduct in an Island Community,? recently published as an open access book with a new introduction by Winkin. This free Zoom session, sponsored by mediastudies.press, marks the dissertation?s publication with a discussion of the work?s significance by Winkin and other leading Goffman scholars.
Canadian-born Erving Goffman (1922?1982) was the twentieth century?s most important sociologist writing in English. His 1953 dissertation, based on fieldwork on a remote Scottish island, presents in embryonic form the full spread of Goffman?s thought. Framed as a ?report on a study of conversational interaction,? the dissertation lingers on the modest talk of island ?crofters.? It is trademark Goffman: ambitious, unconventional in form, and brimmed with big-picture insight. The thesis is that social order is made and re-made in communication?the ?interaction order? he re-visited in a famous and final talk before his 1982 death. The dissertation is, as Winkin writes in the new introduction, the ?Rosetta stone for his entire work.? It was here, in 360 dense pages, that Goffman revealed, quietly, his peerless sensitivity to the invisible wireframes of everyday life.

90. Decolonizing Data Infrastructures: Pluralizing Imaginaries and Histories of Datafication
Yousif Hassan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Jane Yeahin Pyo, University of Massachusetts-Amherst; Paola Ricuarte, Tecnologico de Monterrey; Anita Chan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Discourses of decolonization have become salient in the field of AI/Big Data and global circles of responsible innovation. These discourses often take a universalist view of ethics, or imply a vision of AI mono-futurism based on Euro-American centric understandings of the social, political, and economic implications of data-driven developments across different geographies of the Global South and North. This panel attempts to problematize such trends by recovering the pluralistic histories of decolonization across different geographies of knowledge production. We seek nuanced discussions of surveillance, prediction, and segregation economies and resistances to them that are underpinned by alternative ways of knowing and being in the world. We invite methodological, theoretical, and empirical contributions that engage with alternative future imaginations to remake or refuse dominant data-driven imperatives and look for past and present practice from places that have been historically excluded from knowledge-making. This includes work that:
* Open up spaces for solidarity and reimagination of shared human futurities that confront and seek to dismantle systems of oppression
* Problematize notions of intelligence and ethics based on Western understandings of human difference.
* Explore colonial ideologies reproduced through information ecologies and their impacts on marginalized communities
* Illuminate Southern epistemologies that contribute to more inclusive and accountable practices or policy around data infrastructures.
* Address feminist, racial and social justice approaches to technology to interrogate relations of power across situated data ecologies.
* Examine communal approaches to technology and their implications for political economies

"Up Close and Personal: Documenting Design with the Method for Design Materialization"
Workshop Leader: Pippin Barr (Concordia University)
Thursday, May 4th, 2023. 4:30-6 PM EST. Free. Online / Zoom.
In this workshop, we will introduce the Method for Design Materialization (MDM), an approach to documenting digital design processes at all levels. We will focus on the software engineering technology of version control, a way to track and recover the history of a software development project, showing how it can be used to rigorously track not just changes to software, but the entire design and development lifecycle.
Pippin Barr is an experimental game designer and Associate Professor of Computation Arts at Concordia University. He is a prolific maker of videogames, producing work addressing everything from airplane safety instructions to the nature of videogames and videogame technologies. He is a well-known figure in the independent and artistic videogame scenes, makes his source code and process documentation publicly available via his presence on GitHub, and his forthcoming book, The Stuff Games Are Made Of (2023, MIT Press), discusses videogame design from the perspective of its materials.

Subject: [acc-cca-l] 4S Open Panel "Rethinking Platform Studies in and With
Asia"
Message-ID:

We're excited about our panel at 4S in Honolulu, Hawai'i, 8-11 November 2023 and would like to invite scholars working on platforms in/with Asia to submit your abstract. Please see CFP below.
Rethinking Platform Studies in and With Asia
Panel info: https://4sonline.org/news_manager.php?page=31405
Conference Info: https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions.php
The 'platform turn' introduced a new framework to comprehend the technological, economic, and discursive practices of the post-industrial digital economy. The understanding of platforms as the new frontiers of the globalized digital economy, however, has only gained further depth and nuances when situated outside the epicenter of Silicon Valley in other parts of the world, especially Asia, the world's fastest growing region. The variegated local experiences, dynamism and heterogeneity of platform economies in Asia both complement and challenge Silicon Valley-centered narratives. They interrogate mainstream platform studies' assumptions and position 'platform capitalism' within the extension and convergence of long-term tendencies in the history of global capitalism and in diverse local social and cultural contexts. This 'politics of imagining Asia' has become increasingly contested recently with a surge in Anti-Asian sentiments during the Covid-19 pandemic and the intensification of a 'new Cold War' centered around the US and China. Digital platforms and technologies are at the center of these confrontations: from supply chain disruption and restructuring, inter-regional flows of capital, goods, technologies, and labor, new restrictions of foreign capital and businesses, to discursive battles over racism and xenophobia, and debates about different models of political governance and economic development. This panel aims to facilitate productive discussions and dialogue for scholars working at the intersection of platform studies and Asian studies. What could we gain by rethinking platform studies in and with Asia? How could our engagement with platforms help advance Asian studies at the new conjuncture?

Hello,
My name is Ben Dunlop and I am a Master of Educational Psychology student at the University of Saskatchewan. I am a recent member of CCA I am conducting my research thesis on workplace incivility in academia in Canada. The reason for my email today is to post my invitation to participate in research amongst the CCA members.
Please post the following:
Dear Colleagues,
You are receiving this email because you are a faculty member or student at a Canadian college or university. You are being contacted to participate in a survey on workplace incivility in academia in Canada. This project is run by Benjamin Dunlop (Department of Educational Psychology & Special Education, University of Saskatchewan), Dr. Laureen McIntyre (Department of Educational Psychology & Special Education, University of Saskatchewan), and Dr. Laurie-Ann Hellsten (Faculty of Education, The University of Winnipeg).
The purpose of this study, ?Workplace Incivility in Academia? is to gather information about faculty experiences of workplace incivility. This research is a requirement for the completion of Ben?s Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Measurement and Evaluation in Educational Psychology at the University of Saskatchewan. This survey, which will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, will investigate the working and social conditions within the academic setting to establish the link between the working and social conditions of academics and the behavioural phenomenon of workplace incivility. This research has the potential to lead to an enhanced understanding of workplace incivility and an improved understanding of how workplace incivility begins, develops, and permeates the academic working environment.
Your participation would involve taking a 15-minute survey that you can complete at your convenience. You may drop out at any time without facing any retribution or penalty. The survey is available until May 31, 2023. All responses will be anonymized and kept strictly confidential.
Follow this link to the Survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/R7GJGVP
If you have any questions or would like to request further details, please let me know.
Regards,
Ben

Subject: [acc-cca-l] Lecture:
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
Dear Colleagues,
Please join the Games Institute at the University of Waterloo for a Lecture ?From Custer's Revenge to Red Dead Redemption: Changing the Language of Indigenous Representation in Video Games? with Dr. Ashley Bird on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 ? 1:00 PM TO 2:00 PM EDT/UTC-4.
This is a free and hybrid event! Registration is required.
Dr. Bird will emphasize the two types of language taking place in video games: mechanical, coded language, and visual, representational language. She presents the importance of teaching the history of Indigenous representation in games and will break down various examples from Custer?s Revenge to the Mortal Kombat and Red Dead Redemption series to demonstrate these types of gamic language. Building upon these examples, she centers on the problematic ways players have historically translated the messages they are being presented within the digital medium of the video game. She illustrates how these translations result in harmful narratives about Indigenous avatars becoming cemented within the overarching discourse and design of games. Finally, she will look at new Indigenous works and how inclusive and decolonial game design and practices like ROM hacking can push back against these established narratives and the ways in which players read them, and instead create sovereign digital spaces for Indigenous peoples.
About the Speaker:
Dr Bird is a Native American game designer and PhD in Native American Studies. She is Western Abenaki and originally hails from the Champlain Valley of Vermont. Her work theorizes digital sovereignty, drawing on Native American studies, media studies, and game studies to address representations of Native American characters in video games. The work analyzes specific colonial methodologies being replicated within game spaces in order to then replace these with decolonial methods of game design being undertaken by herself and fellow Native game designers with a focus on what she terms ?synthetic Indigenous identity,? oriented around promoting Indigenous futures. Her work has been featured in the InDigital Space at the ImagineNATIVE Film & Media Festival in 2018 and 2019 respectively. She is also a founding member of the UC Davis ModLab, an experimental laboratory for media research and digital humanities.

[?EXTERNAL]
CFP: Platforms & Visual Art - Session at UAAC (Banff, 19-21 Oct 2023)
Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, May 1?Oct 31, 2023
Deadline: May 31, 2023
We welcome proposals for presentations in our session "Platforms and Visual Art" at the annual University Art Association Conference (UAAC), which will take place Oct. 19-21, 2023 at the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity.
Art 2.0: Platforms and Visual Art
Platforms are increasingly noticeable in the art world, where they facilitate engagement with artworks, artists, galleries, museums, and art fairs, building individual and institutional brands, enabling sales and networking. As Alison Hearn and Sarah Banet-Weiser (2020) argue, platforms ?mediate our cultural lives, setting the terms of valuable visibility and influence.? While scholars are addressing how culture is facilitated by platforms (Poell et. al 2021), studies to date focus on user-generated content, where materials are created exclusively on and for digital platforms. How does art created offline figure into the discussion? While social media platforms Instagram and TikTok are image-intensive, others like Artsy, Etsy, Google Arts and Culture, and the European Media Art Platform, are tailored to visual art created offline and experienced through the platform. Exploring these dynamics, this session invites contributions on how artists and institutions utilize platforms and how platforms shape the terrain in which artists produce and circulate work.
Session chairs:
Sarah E.K. Smith, Western University, sarah.smith at uwo.ca
Bethany Berard, Carleton University, bethany.berard at carleton.ca
To submit a proposal, please complete the Call for Papers form at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WJebVCv3lMZDpsRhk3LvAo8mCpgEycd70ygVYVK69mo/edit and submit it to the session chairs at sarah.smith at uwo.ca and bethany.berard at carleton.ca

Please join us for the third webinar in the Tierra Comun data colonialism network's series on 'Podcasting Data Power'. We are exploring podcasting as a medium for community resistance to data colonialism.
This session asks What is the role of Academics in the Podcast Public Sphere?
As podcasting enables researchers to engage with multiple audiences in creative and collaborative ways, there is much to explore about how academics could make the most out of these spaces. Indeed, it is uncertain how knowledge production, dissemination and power dynamics are expanded or transformed through academic podcasting. In this session, participants will explore and discuss the role of academics in the new public sphere enabled by podcasting.

* Hannah McGregor (Simon Fraser University)
* Lori Beckstead (Toronto Metropolitan University)
* Katherine Reilly (Simon Fraser University)

Cher?e?s coll?gues,

Au programme :
Nicolas Le D?v?dec ? Le transhumanisme et l?imaginaire technoscientifique de l?humain augment?
Le transhumanisme est un courant de pens?e qui milite depuis plus d?une vingtaine d?ann?es pour utiliser les avanc?es technoscientifiques et biom?dicales afin d?augmenter radicalement l?esp?rance de vie humaine et optimiser nos capacit?s physiques, intellectuelles autant qu??motionnelles. L?objectif de cette conf?rence sera non seulement de pr?senter les dimensions centrales de cet imaginaire d?un humain augment? par les technosciences, mais aussi et surtout d?en interroger la port?e politique. En nous appuyant sur plusieurs revendications du mouvement, notamment en ce qui concerne les enjeux de sant? publique, les risques existentiels globaux et l??cologie, nous montrerons que le transhumanisme, dans la diversit? de ses expressions, concourt ? une d?politisation forte des probl?matiques sociales et ?cologiques auxquelles nous sommes aujourd?hui confront?s. Centr? sur l?ambition et le projet de changer l??tre humain plut?t que de changer de monde, le mouvement porte une vision techno-bio-solutionniste du monde qui pousse ? son extr?me, au lieu de le remettre en cause, l?imaginaire prom?th?en de la ma?trise et du contr?le h?rit? de la modernit? occidentale capitaliste.
Gr?gory Chatonsky ? Imagination artificielle et extinction
Notre ?poque est moins marqu?e par une ? crise ? climatique dont nous pourrions esp?rer la r?solution que par une sixi?me extinction allant ? une vitesse inconnue dans l?histoire de la plan?te. L?intelligence artificielle (IA) semble constituer au premier abord un luxe et une vanit? entra?nant un dangereux extractivisme et une inutile d?pense ?nerg?tique qui nous ?loigne de la n?cessit? de transformation politique. L?IA n?est-elle pas pr?cis?ment le dernier avatar du monde de la volont? de puissance dont nous devons sortir? ? partir de certaines de certaines de mes expositions pass?es ? T?lofossiles ? (2013), ? Des m?moires ?teintes ? (2015), ? Terre seconde ? (2019) et de mes recherches pr?sentes et futures, je tenterai de montrer que les d?bats ouverts par la g?n?ration d?images statistiques avec Dall-E ou Stable Diffusion et l?impossible dialogue avec l?oracle chatGPT concernent tr?s directement la relation actuelle entre terre, monde et plan?te.

Subject: [acc-cca-l] LaborTech Nominations Call
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
Labor Tech Research Network (LaborTech) labortechresearchnetwork.org invites submissions for our second annual Book and Graduate Student Paper Awards, and first annual Social Justice Award.
*About Us*
LaborTech is an interdisciplinary and transnational group of experts concerned with the intersection of technology and labor. We aim to reframe conversations about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism. We also seek to foster an interdisciplinary, cross-regional, and community-oriented space for discussion, collaboration, and empowerment. For a deeper discussion of our mission, please see the 'About Us' page on our website as well as examples of topics in our decade-long Speaker Series.
*Call for Nominations*
As part of our mission to promote scholarship and activism towards more equitable forms of labor and technology, LaborTech is announcing a call for three awards -- Book, Graduate Student Paper, and Social Justice. These will honor projects which:
- have distinctive intellectual merit or activist impact;
- advance the knowledge about labor and technology in the global society; and
- address our core focus on labor and technology, which may simultaneously address feminism, anti-racism, and/or transnationalism.
*Eligibility*: Works from all disciplines and methodologies are eligible for nomination. Nominations are open to members and non-members of LaborTech. We welcome self-nominations especially, but also nominations from publishers, colleagues, and others familiar with the projects. We encourage submissions from women, people of color, queer communities, and those from the global south.
*Prizes*: Winners receive a small cash award and a certificate (which we hope to expand further in years ahead, as we are still a growing nonprofit organization :). In addition, we offer our infrastructural supports at LaborTech to promote visibility of your projects: by connecting with our 400+ expert members; by making a video of winners and distributing it both in and outside of our network to enhance public attention and exposure; and by creating a space and opportunity for sharing your work at out end of year virtual celebration. Winners will be announced in December.
*Deadline and Contact*: The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2023. Send questions to labortechresearchnetwork at gmail.com. See below for separate criteria and instructions for the various awards.
BOOK AND GRADUATE STUDENT PAPER AWARDS

- Open to individuals, small groups, and if appropriate, organizations
- Focus will be on a particular campaign or project that is done with the aim of social justice regarding labor and/or technology. These projects may be broad (such as educating the public on a social justice issue) or specific (such as organizing a protest for higher wages). They may use a variety of strategies (e.g., art, design, social media, marches and strikes, policy interventions, etc.). We'd like to honor activists who, through these projects, have developed novel approaches or who are pioneers in the fight for more equitable relations of technology and/or labor.

[?EXTERNAL]
For folks in Montreal, please come to our (de)Stabilizing Diffusions exhibit
Taking place May 15 to May 24 (de)Stabilizing Diffusions is not an exhibition of ?AI Art?. It is a behind the scenes look into the creative strategies that artists employ when critically dealing with AI.
The artists Ali M. Demirel, Debashis Sinha, Evan Light, Craig Fahner, Ellouise McGeachie & Quinn MacNeil, Isabella Salas & Hexorcismos, Tim Murray-Browne share documentation of their works giving us a glimpse into not only how these systems work but also how they might be creatively undone.
Join us for the Finissage on May 23 from 18h~ for an evening of artist talks, performances, and encounters at the Society for Arts and Technology.
The exhibition is an extension of the two-day critical AI symposium (un)Stable Diffusions, which takes place on May 23 and 24 at Concordia University?s Milieux Institute. Thanks goes to Machine Agencies, MUTEK, the Society for Arts and Technology, and Anteism Books for their generous support on this!

Subject: [acc-cca-l] Creating Worlds Otherwise Book Launch
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
I am pleased to invite you to an exciting upcoming book talk by Dr Paula Serafini, who has recently published Creating Worlds Otherwise (Vanderbilt University Press). Please join us to hear more about this exciting interdisciplinary work and celebrate the book?s release.
When: May 19 at 2pm
Where: The Living Room at the Tranzac and Zoom (invite below)
What: Creating Worlds Otherwise examines the narratives that subaltern groups generate around extractivism, and how they develop, communicate, and mobilize these narratives through art and cultural practices. It reports on a six-year project on creative resistance to extractivism in Argentina and builds on long-term engagement working on environmental justice projects and campaigns in Argentina and the UK. It is an innovative contribution to the fields of Latin American studies, political ecology, cultural studies, and art theory, and addresses pressing questions regarding what post-extractivist worlds might look like as well as how such visions are put into practice. Creating Worlds Otherwise received an Honourable Mention in the Latin American Studies Association Visual Cultures Studies 2023 Book Awards.
Who: Paula Serafini is Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Creative and Cultural Industries at Queen Mary University of London. Her research is situated in the field of cultural politics, and her interests include extractivism, social movements, art activism, cultural labour and policy and socioecological transitions. She is author of Performance Action: The Politics of Art Activism (Routledge 2018) and Creating Worlds Otherwise: Art, Collective Action, and (Post)Extractivism (Vanderbilt University Press, 2022), and co-editor of artWORK: Art, Labour and Activism (Rowman & Littlefield Int, 2017) and Arte y Ecolog?a Pol?tica (IIGG-CLACSO, 2020).
You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
When: May 19, 2023 02:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

?
Colloque international ? Le podcast natif : comprendre son essor, interroger son avenir
Les 14-15 d?cembre 2023 ? l'Universit? Paris-Panth?on-Assas, salle 214.
O? va le podcast en France et en Europe ? Pourquoi, alors qu?il ne pr?sente pas une innovation de rupture majeure et qu?il existe depuis longtemps, le podcast s?est-il r?cemment d?velopp? aussi rapidement et aussi fortement ? Comment expliquer les ressorts et les enjeux sociaux, ?conomiques, technologiques de ce succ?s et de ses ambivalences ? Nous attendons des communications, quelles que soient leur th?matique et approche m?thodologique, qu'elles apportent des ?l?ments de r?ponses aux deux questions qui portent ce colloque : Comment expliquer l'essor du podcast natif ? Quel avenir pour ce m?dia (rester de niche ou se g?n?raliser) ?
Les propositions attendues sont d?une longueur de 3 000 signes maximum (hors bibliographie). Merci de joindre ? votre proposition une br?ve notice biographique pr?cisant votre affiliation.
Les propositions sont ? envoyer au plus tard pour le 10 juin 2023 ? l?adresse suivante : obcast.carism at gmail.com

La d?sinformation scientifique: un probl?me public transnational
Un colloque consacr? ? la d?sinformation scientifique se tiendra ? Qu?bec du 28 f?vrier au 1er mars 2024. L?appel ? contribution est ouvert.
Les vaccins, la pand?mie de Covid-19, les changements climatiques et l?intelligence artificielle se r?v?lent des terrains o? fait rage la d?nonciation de la d?sinformation scientifique, consid?r?e comme ?l?ment de disruption de la circulation des contenus scientifiques vers le public ?largi (Oliveira, 2020). Cette d?nonciation repose sur une forte mobilisation de nombreux acteurs des mondes scientifique, politique et journalistique dans plusieurs pays, et appara?t comme un probl?me public transnational.
Le pr?sent appel ? propositions est centr? sur la mobilisation des ?nonciateurs du ph?nom?ne, et sur le caract?re transnational de l??mergence du probl?me d?nonc?. Nous souhaitons attirer l?attention sur le caract?re socialement construit des probl?mes publics (Best, 2010, Gusfield, 1989, Hassenteufel, 2010 ; Neveu, 2015), sur le fait qu?ils n??mergent pas naturellement dans les soci?t?s, mais qu?ils sont le r?sultat du travail de promotion fait par un ensemble d?entrepreneurs de cause (claim makers), dont dans ce cas-ci des acteurs transnationaux, int?ress?s par la mise en visibilit? sur les agendas public (m?diatique, politique et gouvernemental) d?une situation consid?r?e par eux comme ? probl?matique ?. Ainsi, l??mergence d?un probl?me d?pend fondamentalement des ressources mobilis?es par ces acteurs pour en faire un d?bat public.
Les communications propos?es pour ce Colloque peuvent donc porter sur les quatre axes suivants :
1. La repr?sentation m?diatique du probl?me de la d?sinformation scientifique.
2. La participation des journalistes en tant qu?entrepreneurs de cause.
3. Les strat?gies d?ploy?es par les autres entrepreneurs de cause, en particulier ceux du niveau transnational aupr?s des m?dias et des journalistes.
4. La circulation transnationale du probl?me de la d?sinformation

Description
21st-century AI is very much in its formative stage: It is still unsettled, and is continually being both stabilised and contested by diverse sets of actors: from technologists, startup founders and global companies to policy makers, journalists, and civil society. For some, AI is being positioned as a fix to our social problems, which in turn will change how we live, communicate, work and travel. Others raise substantive concerns that these developments might reinforce inequality, exacerbate the opacity of decision-making processes, and ultimately question human autonomy. We are thus living in a time when the infrastructures and institutions of our everyday lives are being (re)built at the hands of techniques which already elude popular and professional understanding; but while the controversies about the specific pathways to be taken are still visible, we can already perceive elements of closure and institutionalization.
Our symposium invites contributions from an international audience to interrogate the shaping of AI. Building on an international collaboration between research teams from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Canada, we invite presentations that pursue critical engagements with AI?s media representations, policy framings, and scientific debates. Crucially, we also invite epistemic reflections in how we are all Shaping AI, including practice-based research or research-creation.
The event is hosted at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University by the Machine Agencies Research Group and is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Mardi 30 mai 2023, 15h00, Salle J-1060, Pavillon Judith Jasmin, Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al
Cette conf?rence-d?bat propose d?interroger les soubassements id?ologiques du "web 3" en examinant les trajectoires historiques ambivalentes du web de confiance (blockchain) et du web s?mantique (IA). Impuls? par les travaux pr?liminaires de deux programmes de recherche, cet ?v?nement est ?galement l'occasion de confronter les pistes de r?flexion et interrogations port?es par d'autres chercheurs.ses travaillant sur les ?volutions du web.

Bordeaux Montaigne, David Pucheu interroge les imaginaires et les id?ologies qui pr?sident au d?veloppement technologique occidental. A mi-chemin entre sociologie et philosophie des techniques, ses travaux ont port? notamment sur l?histoire du design de l?interaction Humain-Machine et plus r?cemment sur l?ing?nierie exploratoire associ?e au mouvement transhumaniste californien. Il questionne par ailleurs les recompositions du croire ? l?oeuvre dans notre hypermodernit? et plus particuli?rement aux Etats-Unis.
Jacob Matthews est professeur de Sciences de l?Information et de la Communication ? l'Universit? Paris 8 et membre du LabSIC, Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord.

Subject: [acc-cca-l] Console-ing Passions 2023 @ UCalgary
Message-ID:
Dear CCA colleagues,
The Department of Communication, Media & Film at the University of Calgary is hosting the 2023 Console-ing Passions Conference, an international feminist media studies conference that will be taking place from June 22 ? 24, 2023 at the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning on the UCalgary campus. Despite having a 30+ year history, CP has not been hosted by a Canadian institution since 1997 (!!!) and so we?re very excited to welcome the CP community to Calgary next month.
Keynotes and panels promise to initiate important discussions about topics that include far-right media cultures, TikTok trends, queer media politics, and hashtag feminisms.
We have three exciting keynotes:
Sarah Sharma, University of Toronto, Talk title TBA
Simidele Dosekun, London School of Economics, ?Beyond ?Reifying Whiteness? in Feminist Media Studies?
Vivek Shraya, University of Calgary, multidisciplinary artist, ?Vivek Shraya?s Feminist Lens? (Vivek?s talk is free and open to the public!)
On the evening of Friday, June 23 we?ll also be hosting the Calgary premiere of Marusya Bociurkiw?s (Toronto Metropolitan University) new feature-length documentary, Analogue Revolution: How Feminist Media Changed the World, an event which is also free and open to the public.
Please see our attached poster for further information about the conference or visit our conference website: http://www.consoleingpassions2023.ca
Information about Console-ing Passions can be found here: https://www.console-ingpassions.org
It is not too late to join us for CP 2023? the deadline for conference registration is June 11, 2023.
I hope to see some of you next month at the conference!
Cheers,

CFP: Data in motion for a more-than-human world
Blended (in person & virtual) panel at 4S in Honalulu, November 8-11 2023
These panels will feature papers that rethink the notion of 'data' as the driver of knowledge. Data is usually positioned as discoverable fact, a container of meaning, or a solidified agreement about what's assumed to be true. These visions of data suggest a world contained, like a butterfly pinned to a board, ready for inspection. In contrast, relational approaches to data understand the world to be in constant motion and focus on processes of meaning making surrounding observations or experiences. For example, citizen science often uses positivist approaches to count and classify anthropocentric marine debris. In contrast, relational approaches might consider how beach trash makes us feel; imagine our relationships to the ocean under different 'truth' conditions; or explore representations of different marine species in struggles over how to 'know' the world. Relational approaches tell us that the truth of garbage on a beach is not in its existence, but in our mutual and collective subsistence; that data isn't about plastic but rather is plastic; and that data isn't a discrete entity, but rather is enmeshed in human relations. We seek papers about more-than-human approaches to data, information systems, research-creation and knowledge production with a particular focus on human relationships with natural and built environments. We are particularly interested in papers that challenge social processes based in 'containment' views of data (such as data repositories, citizen science, open government, etc.) and papers that explore and experiment with alternative ways of 'doing data.'

https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/worth-more-standing-screening-performance-tickets-625349456057
EVENT PROGRAM
7:30 pm Doors open.
8:00 pm Part I - Screening of her silent life and seeing her
8:40 pm Part II - Expanded cinema performance of Worth More Standing
9:15 pm Q&A with Lindsay McIntyre and Peter Heil
9:45 pm Reception.
The process of finding one?s place in fractured familial histories is the starting point for a series of films and performances produced by McIntyre. Between 2007 and 2012, she produced a series of five short films under the title Bloodline concerned with some of the lost histories and intergeneration traumas of her Inuit matrilineal heritage. The program opens with her silent life (31 min, 2012), an experimental documentary which seeks to understand the complex life of her Inuk great-grandmother Kumaa?naaq. seeing her (3 min, 2020), made several years later, offers a sparkling repose presenting an analogue experimental animation that builds on elements explored in the previous film, animating Kumaa?naaq?s beautiful beadworks.
The second half of the program is an expanded cinema performance featuring several 16mm projectors (Lindsay McIntyre) and digital and live sound (Peter Bussigel). Worth More Standing (40 min, 2022) is ?a looping 16 mm performance exploring the framework of tree/human relationships on unceded Pacheedaht territory at Fairy Creek. A site of civil disobedience, it is also a place of recognition, passion, and dedication for the more-than-human beings with whom we share the planet. High contrast images are hand-processed, optically printed, contact printed and altered, creating a portrait of this landscape and its employ at the hands of humans? (69th International Short Film Festival of Oberhausen 2022: 349).
ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES

Description
21st-century AI is very much in its formative stage: It is still unsettled, and is continually being both stabilised and contested by diverse sets of actors: from technologists, startup founders and global companies to policy makers, journalists, and civil society. For some, AI is being positioned as a fix to our social problems, which in turn will change how we live, communicate, work and travel. Others raise substantive concerns that these developments might reinforce inequality, exacerbate the opacity of decision-making processes, and ultimately question human autonomy. We are thus living in a time when the infrastructures and institutions of our everyday lives are being (re)built at the hands of techniques which already elude popular and professional understanding; but while the controversies about the specific pathways to be taken are still visible, we can already perceive elements of closure and institutionalization.
Our symposium invites contributions from an international audience to interrogate the shaping of AI. Building on an international collaboration between research teams from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Canada, we invite presentations that pursue critical engagements with AI?s media representations, policy framings, and scientific debates. Crucially, we also invite epistemic reflections in how we are all Shaping AI, including practice-based research or research-creation.
The event is hosted at the Milieux Institute at Concordia University by the Machine Agencies Research Group and is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
Take care
Fenwick

Subject: [acc-cca-l] Panel: Indigenous Research and Epistemology - a
discussion
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
Dear Colleagues,
Please join the Games Institute at the University of Waterloo for a discussion panel on Indigenous Research and Epistemology on Friday, May 26, 2023 at 10:30AM-12PM (EDT/UTC-4).
This is a free online event! Registration is required.
How should we conduct research in cooperation and partnership with Indigenous communities? What does it mean for Indigenous scholars and students to do research within the colonial structures and settler epistemologies of Western universities? The panelists, consisting of Indigenous students and researchers as well as settlers working with and for Indigenous communities, will share their perspectives and experiences on these questions. They will begin a conversation to help us consider these and other issues related to Indigeneity in the context of Western academic cultures and practices, and invite questions and discussion to develop our capacity to Indigenize research and scholarship.

Colloque international COMSEN2023
? Les sciences de l?information et de la communication: Vues d?ailleurs, vues d?Afrique ?
22, 23 et 24 novembre 2023, Dakar & Saint-Louis (S?n?gal)
1. Argumentaire
Le manque de visibilit? des travaux scientifiques africains ancr?s dans les sciences de l?information et de la communication (SIC) est un s?rieux frein pour l?institutionnalisation de la discipline sur le continent. Il appara?t d?s lors n?cessaire de cr?er des espaces d??changes propices aux partages de connaissances et d?exp?riences, afin de rem?dier ? cette situation. C?est dans ce contexte que le colloque Communication S?n?gal (COMSEN) a ?t? con?u. Cette premi?re ?dition multisite du Colloque COMSEN sera conjointement h?berg?e par le Centre des sciences et techniques de l?information (CESTI) de l?universit? Cheikh Anta Diop (Dakar, S?n?gal) et l?Unit? de formation et de recherche Civilisations, Religions, Arts et Communication (UFR CRAC) de l?universit? Gaston Berger (Saint-Louis, S?n?gal), deux importants p?les de la formation, de la recherche et de la production scientifique francophone en communication sur le continent africain. Intitul? ? Les sciences de l?information et de
la communication : Vues d?ailleurs, vues d?Afrique ?, le colloque se tiendra conjointement ? Dakar et ? Saint-Louis les 22, 23 et 24 novembre 2023.
Le colloque COMSEN ambitionne de devenir un rendez-vous incontournable de la recherche, dans l?agenda scientifique des sciences sociales et plus singuli?rement des SIC ? l??chelle internationale. Il s?agit de r?unir autour d?un ?v?nement scientifique pluridisciplinaire les chercheurs en sciences de l?information et de la communication ou travaillant dans des disciplines connexes des sciences humaines et sociales et int?ress?s par l??tude des ph?nom?nes de communication. Le colloque sera ?galement ouvert aux artistes, aux praticiens de la communication et de l?information ainsi qu?au grand public. Il s?agit de discuter de mani?re ?largie des enjeux informationnels et communicationnels qui sont centraux dans les soci?t?s contemporaines en laissant une large place aux perspectives et aux r?alit?s africaines. Cette manifestation in?dite est l?occasion d?interactions pour rendre compte de la richesse des SIC et de leur singularit? et permettra de conjuguer les savoirs, les visions et les perspectives en vue de comprendre ad?quatement les ressorts multiples (technologiques, juridiques, culturels, ?conomiques, etc.) de la communication dans les soci?t?s actuelles.
2. Objectif g?n?ral
Le colloque a pour objectif principal de faire d?couvrir, en terre s?n?galaise, les SIC dans leur diversit?, notamment en promouvant les travaux enracin?s dans les contextes africains et leur dialogue avec des travaux issus d?autres contextes et ancr?s dans d?autres terrains. Il s?agit de favoriser des ?changes soutenus autour de th?matiques disciplinaires importantes de mani?re ? permettre une interf?condation des perspectives, des objets, des terrains et des ?pist?mologies.
3. Axes du colloque
?tant donn? le caract?re de discipline carrefour des SIC, les propositions s?inscrivant en communication ou ancr?es plus largement dans les sciences humaines et sociales sont bienvenues, dans la mesure o? elles s?int?ressent d?une mani?re ou d?une autre aux ph?nom?nes et aux processus informationnels et communicationnels dans leurs diff?rentes dimensions. Ainsi, le colloque est structur? autour de sept axes de r?flexion.
3.1 Contributions des sciences humaines et sociales aux ?tudes en communication
L?acte de re-penser l?objet communicationnel ne saurait ?tre ?puis? au sein des sciences de l?information et de la communication, et encore moins dans les sciences sociales. Il s?agit, dans cet axe, de poursuivre les nombreuses r?flexions (Laflamme, 2002) consacr?es ? l??tude des connexions de l?interf?condit? disciplinaire entre le sous-champ de l??tude du ph?nom?ne communicationnel et les traditions de recherches des sciences sociales.
3.2 Terrains, th?ories, m?thodes, objets
Cet axe est destin? ? ?clairer la mani?re dont les diff?rentes formes de savoir (notamment la science et les savoirs traditionnels) arrivent ? se structurer et ? entrer en relation les uns avec les autres. Il s?agit, en d?autres termes, de complexifier les rapports au monde en ?vitant de concevoir les savoirs traditionnels comme des savoirs d?ficients, mais plut?t comme des formes de connaissance susceptibles d?apporter un ?clairage tout aussi valide bien que diff?rent sur le monde, son fonctionnement et le sens que les acteurs sociaux lui donnent (Mudimbe, 1982 ; Hountondji, 1990 ; Diagne, 2013).
3.3 Penser l?objet information-communication ? l?aune des pratiques professionnelles
Cet axe interpelle les chercheurs et praticiens qui sont confront?s ? la r?alit? des connexions entre la r?flexion th?orique, le travail conceptuel et l?action professionnelle dans leurs environnements organisationnels. Il s?agit notamment de prendre en consid?ration les permanences et les mutations qui affectent les milieux de pratique tant du point de vue des acteurs que des institutions. Les enjeux technologiques, juridiques, ?thiques, ?conomiques, etc. pourront ?tre abord?s ? l?aune de leurs implications pour les pratiques professionnelles, notamment pour le journalisme et le secteur m?diatique.
3.4 Communication et enjeux ?cologiques
Les Nations unies ont reconnu le droit ? un environnement sain et durable comme un droit humain fondamental. Pourtant, les obstacles ? une prise de conscience ?cologique et ? un changement des pratiques font face ? de nombreux obstacles (de nature psychologique, culturelle, ?conomique, etc.). Cet axe s?int?resse aux d?fis de la communication portant sur les questions ?cologiques (gouvernance, risques, acteurs, strat?gies, d?fis, bonnes pratiques, etc.) quel que soit le niveau d?intervention envisag?.
3.5 Ce que le num?rique fait ? la communication (et vice versa)
Dans un environnement m?diatico-social de plus en plus soumis ? de fortes mutations au point qu?on parle d?sormais d?une ? num?risation g?n?rale de la soci?t? ? (Selim, 2012 ; George, 2019), la communication n?cessite d??tre scrut?e pour avoir une bonne compr?hension des dynamiques nouvelles qui affectent les soci?t?s contemporaines pour le meilleur ou pour le pire. Cet axe invite par cons?quent des contributions explorant ces dimensions ou certains aspects connexes.
3.6 Communication et d?veloppement international
Cet axe s?int?resse ? la jonction conceptuelle entre communication et d?veloppement qui remonte au fameux discours de Truman sur l??tat de l?Union le 20 janvier 1949 qui marque le d?but de la communication pour le d?veloppement. Il s?agit de probl?matiser les questions nouvelles et les enjeux qui surgissent au gr? des ?volutions technologiques et soci?tales propres ? la soci?t? de l?information et ? la mondialisation ?conomique.
3.7 M?dias, droits humains et d?mocratie
M?dias et d?mocratie entretiennent une relation soutenue, en ce sens qu?il est difficile d?envisager le pluralisme des opinions sans une presse libre et ind?pendante (Gingras,1999). Si cette derni?re est le barom?tre de la d?mocratie dans un pays, il faut dire que l?av?nement des m?dias sociaux a contribu? ? multiplier les lieux de prise de parole, fragilisant davantage la fonction de journaliste, acteur cl? dans la r?alisation et la consolidation de l?id?al d?mocratique (Wolton, 2000). L?essor des communications num?riques est donc porteur d?enjeux importants li?s ? la viralit? des contenus, ? la fiabilit? de l?information et plus largement aux questions de d?sinformation et de m?sinformation. L?usage courant du terme fake news, dans la qu?te permanente d?une information fiable et de qualit?, est l? pour en attester. Dans cet axe pourront ?tre abord?s les questionnements li?s ? l??ducation aux m?dias de m?me que les enjeux normatifs li?s ? la d?mocratie, aux droits humains, ? la justice sociale et ? la libert? d?expression dans diff?rents contextes.

The purpose of this WhatsApp group is to allow graduate students to connect with one another to introduce themselves, virtually meet one another, foster community, and allow a ?quick questions? place (e.g., shout outs for anyone looking to grab dinner or go site-seeing after a day during the conference).
We look forward to seeing you next week!
All the best,
Dana Cramer and Mariane Bourcheix-Laporte

90. Decolonizing Data Infrastructures: Pluralizing Imaginaries and Histories of Datafication
Yousif Hassan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; Jane Yeahin Pyo, University of Massachusetts-Amherst; Paola Ricuarte, Tecnologico de Monterrey; Anita Chan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Discourses of decolonization have become salient in the field of AI/Big Data and global circles of responsible innovation. These discourses often take a universalist view of ethics, or imply a vision of AI mono-futurism based on Euro-American centric understandings of the social, political, and economic implications of data-driven developments across different geographies of the Global South and North. This panel attempts to problematize such trends by recovering the pluralistic histories of decolonization across different geographies of knowledge production. We seek nuanced discussions of surveillance, prediction, and segregation economies and resistances to them that are underpinned by alternative ways of knowing and being in the world. We invite methodological, theoretical, and empirical contributions that engage with alternative future imaginations to remake or refuse dominant data-driven imperatives and look for past and present practice from places that have been historically excluded from knowledge-making. This includes work that:
* Open up spaces for solidarity and reimagination of shared human futurities that confront and seek to dismantle systems of oppression
* Problematize notions of intelligence and ethics based on Western understandings of human difference.
* Explore colonial ideologies reproduced through information ecologies and their impacts on marginalized communities
* Illuminate Southern epistemologies that contribute to more inclusive and accountable practices or policy around data infrastructures.
* Address feminist, racial and social justice approaches to technology to interrogate relations of power across situated data ecologies.
* Examine communal approaches to technology and their implications for political economies

Subject: [acc-cca-l] Meeting for Grad Program Directors at CCA Conference:
In Person/ Online
Message-ID:
[?EXTERNAL]
Dear Colleagues,
After some discussion between a number of grad program directors and then with the CCA leadership, we have organized an informal meeting/discussion space for grad program directors from any and all Canadian Communications MA/PhD programs as part of this year's CCA conference.
We hope that each program will send their grad director or a faculty member as a delegate. The meeting will take place in person at York, but we will run a zoom link as well.
The meeting will be held Tuesday May 30th (The first day of the CCA conference), from 1230-1330 in DB 1016.
The zoom link for anyone attending online is:
https://torontomu.zoom.us/j/94671700159?pwd=bEJMcG94Ymh3bENLK3MwWllwRmhiQT09
There will be sandwiches provided by the CCA for in person attendees.
The intention of this initiative is to create an informal space for discussion of graduate education in Communication Studies in Canada, compare notes and collaborate on recruitment initiatives and on confronting issues of concern to all grad programs and students. There is no binding commitment to any programs or faculty attending.
Next steps:
Each Canadian grad program in Communication studies and/or cognate fields is invited to send its program director (or a faculty member delegate), preferably in person if someone will be onsite (but online if needed).
Please RSVP by adding your program and attendee to this google doc.
On the same google doc, please also feel free to edit or add to the draft agenda, which was sketched out of some very informal conversations held a few months ago.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ghislain and I off-list.
The meeting will be informal, and both English and French language interventions will be welcomed.
Kind regards,
Jeremy
