Re: Mozilla Tech Policy Fellowship Project on Net Neutrality and Data Protection in Nigeria
by Chukwuyere Izuogu June 10, 2019

June 10, 2019

Dear All, I trust you are all doing wellthis new year. For those of you who do not know(of) me, I am Chukwuyere Izuogu, a Solicitor and telecoms legal researcher. I presentlyhead the Abuja office of the law office of Streamsowers & Kóhn, and I am alsoa research fellow at the African Academic Network on Internet Policy (ANNoIP),where my practice and research is in all areas of competition, telecommunications,information technology and intellectual property law. In September of 2018, I commenceda Tech Policy Fellowship with the Mozilla Foundation where I will be conductingpolicy/academic research and engaging stakeholders on issues related to netneutrality and data protection in Nigeria. As these are topical publicpolicy issues which are consistent with the work you and your organizations areinvolved in, I deem it important to inform you at this time of my fellowshipwork and keep you updated on the progress. Upon completion of my fellowshipresearch a Mozilla sponsored workshop will be held probably in Abuja where theoutcome of my researches would be made available to an enlarged stakeholdergroup and community members, as my intention is to see how these researches canalso be incorporated into each of your advocacy work in this space. As time goes on, I am likely torequire your input in clarifying several issues concerning my policy researches.In addition, I would be happy to respond to any question any of you may haveabout my fellowship work and the status so far. All the best in 2019! I remain, Chuks.

new book: The Psychology of Social Media
by Ciarán Mc Mahon April 15, 2019

April 15, 2019

Dear Netsociety, I have a book on the way which I hope will be of interest to this list’s subscribers. The Psychology of Social Media <https://www.routledge.com/9781138047754> is available for pre-order and will be published on April 16 - a short, accessible read for the interested undergrad/general public readership, as part of Routledge's 'The Psychology of Everything <https://www.routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/thepsychologyofeverything/> ' series. What’s my book about? I’ve attached a flyer (with discount code!) but here’s the blurb: Are we really being ourselves on social media? Can we benefit from connecting with people we barely know online? Why do some people overshare on social networking sites?　 The Psychology of Social Media explores how so much of our everyday lives is played out online, and how this can impact our identity, wellbeing, and relationships. It looks at how our online profiles, connections, status updates, and sharing of photographs can be a way to express ourselves and form connections, but also highlights the pitfalls of social media including privacy issues. >From FOMO to fraping, and from subtweeting to selfies, The Psychology of Social Media shows how social media has developed a whole new world of communication, and for better or worse is likely to continue to be an essential part of how we understand our selves. Furthermore, you can request an inspection copy here for use in teaching https://www.routledge.com/resources/compcopy/9781138047754 Thank you for your time, and apologies for cross-posting. Ciarán Mc Mahon PS anyone in Dublin on May 8th, do join us for a glass of wine at the launch! thepsychologyofsocialmedia.eventbrite.com <http://thepsychologyofsocialmedia.eventbrite.com/> Preorder the book: <http://bit.ly/psychologyofsocialmedia> bit.ly/psychologyofsocialmedia <http://www.twitter.com/cjamcmahon> twitter.com/cjamcmahon <https://ie.linkedin.com/in/cjamcmahon> linkedin.com/cjamcmahon <https://tinyletter.com/cjamcmahon> tinyletter.com/cjamcmahon <http://www.ciaranmcmahon.ie/> www.ciaranmcmahon.com

Research collaboration
by Contato IRIS April 15, 2019

April 15, 2019

Dear all, Our research team at the Institute for Research on Internet & Society (IRIS <http://irisbh.com.br>) is developing an inquiry about regulatory anti-money laundering measures concerning cryptocurrency services which will integrate a research paper to be launched in 2019. Our goal is to get to know the status of regulation on the subject and countries’ compliance with international standards. We also have an interest in knowing the approach towards cryptocurrencies in countries where there is not a regulation yet. Because of the language barrier, we are counting on the international research network to aid us with information from each nation. Thus, attached is a link to a form with 4-9 questions on cryptocurrencies and AML regulation, which takes up to 5 minutes to answer, in case the info is previously gathered. Your contribution is very welcome and we will credit you in our paper. If you have any doubts, please, fell free to contact us. Best regards, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSch9HrhA58w-SH6I9I1qFJ3EqhAc2KpRQN…

CfP PLSC-Europe & save-the-date MoneyTalks (October, Amsterdam)
by Ausloos, Jef April 15, 2019

April 15, 2019

Hi all, Coming October, the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam, is organising two consecutive conferences that might be of interest to the NoC community. 23 October: Money Talks, a one day conference on the impact of private funding on information law research. This conference is co-organised with the European Hub of the Network of Centers. CfP will be made available soon. 24-25 October: Privacy Law Scholars Conference Europe. More information and CfP below. Best wishes, Jef Ausloos [cid:image001.png@01D4F36C.D8924870] Dear all, It is our pleasure to announce the 4th edition of Privacy Law Scholars Conference Europe<https://www.ivir.nl/plsceurope2019/>, organised by the Institute for Information Law (IViR). PLSC Europe will be held from Thursday afternoon until Friday evening on 24-25 October 2019 at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We would be grateful if you could share this invitation within your networks. Following the format of PLSC in the United States, PLSC Europe is a conference aimed at improving and providing support for discussing work in progress. To do so, PLSC Europe assembles privacy law scholars as well as policy makers, practitioners and civil society experts from Europe and around the world to workshop and discuss papers. The conference is open to other than legal disciplines and values multi-disciplinary approaches. The conference follows a format where a discussant, rather than the author, is assigned to kick off a discussion of the paper with the audience. We often pair junior scholars with senior colleagues in order to create mentorship opportunities. In the PLSC format, there are no panels or presentations by the authors. Instead, everyone is a “participant”, offering their best questions and insights to stimulate discussion on the draft scholarship. Check the conference website to get the latest information: https://www.ivir.nl/plsceurope2019<https://www.ivir.nl/plsceurope2019/> CALL FOR ABSTRACTS If you would like to workshop a paper, please submit a title, an abstract that grounds your work in a literature (see below), and high-level outline by 23 May 2019 via our conference submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plsceurope2019 In writing your abstract, please connect to the relevant state of the art. We welcome novel approaches, but please do make explicit in which ways your approach departs from existing scholarship. Abstracts should be between 300-600 words and contain sufficient detail to review the approach and potential contribution of the work. We require all submissions to be transparent about relevant sponsorship and conflicts of interest. The program committee for the conference will review abstracts and acceptances will be made on 20 June 2019. Workshop versions of the paper are due 26 September 2019. We reserve the right to cancel workshops if the paper draft is not provided sufficiently in advance for meaningful evaluation by participants. You can send an email to PLSCeurope2019(a)ivir.nl<mailto:PLSCeurope2019@ivir.nl> if you encounter any problems. KEY DATES * Abstracts due: 23 May 2019 * Announcement of acceptance: 20 June 2019 * Papers due: 26 September 2019 * PLSC-Europe 2019 AMSTERDAM: 24 October (from 13:30) and 25 October 2019 ORGANISING COMMITTEE * Kristina Irion (k.irion(a)uva.nl<mailto:k.irion@uva.nl>) * Joris van Hoboken (j.v.j.vanhoboken(a)uva.nl<mailto:j.v.j.vanhoboken@uva.nl>) * Jef Ausloos (j.ausloos(a)uva.nl<mailto:j.ausloos@uva.nl>)

creation of the Center for Internet and Society (CIS) of the CNRS, Paris, France
by Melanie Dulong de Rosnay April 2, 2019

April 2, 2019

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to officially announce the creation of the Center for Internet and Society (CIS) of the CNRS. CNRS is the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, or the French National Center for Scientific Research. It is a publicly funded research organisation, under the authority of the French Ministry of Research. The CNRS is the largest governmental research organisation in France and the largest fundamental science agency in Europe. Research at CNRS covers all the major fields of scientific research, and is organised into 10 research institutes. At the intersection of disciplines such as sociology, law, history, economics, political science, media and communication sciences, computer and engineering sciences, the CIS intends to build critical research and expertise, able to enlighten the major technical controversies and the definition of contemporary policies related to digital technology, to the internet, and more broadly to informatics. The research themes of the CIS are: - History of computing, uses, preservation, creativity; - Information, digital commons, citizen science; - Infrastructure, AI, platforms; - Data science; - State, citizenship, surveillance, profiling, censorship, propaganda, fake news. CIS now has a website, http://cis.cnrs.fr, where you can find more details about its activities. We also have a Twitter account, @cis_cnrs, which will soon be active! We are also working on the construction of a CNRS research network (GDR) on the same themes, which aims to federate, with a flexible but structured system, francophone and France-based researchers on these issues. Since its inception, CIS is included in several research networks such as GigaNet <https://www.giga-net.org/> (Global Internet Governance Academic Network) or RESAW <https://resaw.eu/> (Research Infrastructure for the Study of Archived Web Materials), and of course, the NoC <https://networkofcenters.net/> (Global Network of the Internet and Society Research Centers) and its European Hub. Kind regards and see you soon, we hope, The CIS direction team, Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay Francesca Musiani Céline Vaslin -- Melanie Dulong de Rosnay Associate research professor, CNRS Director, Center for Internet and Society of CNRS http://www.cis.cnrs.fr/
