[Michael Darroch]

Dear Colleagues,

The Call for Papers below may be of interest to CCA members:

CFP: Media & Space: The Regulation of Digital Platforms, New Media & Technologies Symposium
http://www.uwindsor.ca/law/1646/media-space-regulation-digital-platforms-new-media-technologies-symposium
Faculty of Law | School of Creative Arts | Department of Communication, Media & Film
University of Windsor | 25 October 2019

This conference seeks to bring together scholars from various disciplines including but not limited to law, communication, media, the arts, geography studies, and political science, to reflect on the challenges posed by the regulation of digital media platforms as liminal spaces that undermine clear distinctions between public and private. Topics might include social media, big data, and smart cities, personal data sovereignty, algorithmic discrimination, cybersecurity, freedom of expression, and ubiquitous state and corporate surveillance. To address these disparate topics, our conference asks participants to address how the work of Marshall McLuhan on media and space —physical, virtual, public, private, borders, boundaries, environments and anti-environments— may be a point of departure and/or arrival to inform current and future regulatory/legal frameworks addressing digital media? What approaches to media and space help explain contradictions between contemporary globalization (of economies, cultures, technologies) and reassertion of national sovereignty and border controls? What is the relationship between changing media ecosystems and legal systems? Does Canada afford a unique geopolitical vantage point to explore these issues?
