Queer Data - Book discussion with Kevin Guyan, 6 February 2024, 17:00 CET, CIS CNRS Hypertextes

by Melanie Dulong de Rosnay

Dear colleagues, The Center for Internet and Society of CNRS, Paris, organizes a monthly online reading event, Hypertexts, taking the form of a discussion with the author of a book that's making the news in the field of internet and society. Sessions are not recorded, link is sent upon registration. The next Hypertexts session will take place on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, from 5 to 6 pm CET, and we're delighted to host Kevin Guyan (University of Glasgow) for his book Queer Data (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2022). The book will be discussed by Simon Apartis and Ramya Chandrasekhar, researchers at CIS-CNRS. We invite those who are interested to sign up. The registration page is in French, but the session will be in English. Event page: https://cis.cnrs.fr/hypertextes-kevin-guyan/ Registration link: https://cis.cnrs.fr/extras/inscriptions/hypertextes.php Data has never mattered more. Our lives are increasingly shaped by it and how it is defined, collected and used. But who counts in the collection, analysis and application of data? This important book is the first to look at queer data – defined as data relating to gender, sex, sexual orientation and trans identity/history. The author shows us how current data practices reflect an incomplete account of LGBTQ lives and helps us understand how data biases are used to delegitimise the everyday experiences of queer people. Guyan demonstrates why it is important to understand, collect and analyse queer data, the benefits and challenges involved in doing so, and how we might better use queer data in our work. Arming us with the tools for action, this book shows how greater knowledge about queer identities is instrumental in informing decisions about resource allocation, changes to legislation, access to services, representation and visibility. Kind regards, -- Melanie Dulong de Rosnay Research professor, CNRS https://cis.cnrs.fr/en/melanie-dulong-2/ Director, Center for Internet and Society of CNRS, Paris https://cis.cnrs.fr/en/the-cis/

CfA - Teaching with Data Rights (deadline 10 January)

by Jef Ausloos

∼ Apologies for cross-posting ∼ Dear colleagues, I am happy to share a call for expression of interests for a small-scale workshop on teaching (with) data rights. If you are interested to join, just send us a short motivation before 10 January (more info below/attached). Best wishes, -- dr. Jef Ausloos Assistant Professor Institute for Information Law (IViR) / University of Amsterdam @Jausl00s<https://twitter.com/Jausl00s> | IViR.nl<https://www.ivir.nl/employee/jefausloos/> Find my work on ORCiD<https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0909-9978> or UvA<https://www.uva.nl/en/profile/a/u/j.ausloos/j.ausloos.html#Publications> Call for Participation: Teaching with Data Rights International Workshop 9 February 2024, Brussels We invite expressions of interest for an international workshop on Teaching with Data Rights, hosted by the Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) Research Group of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) on Friday 9 February 2024, in Brussels (Belgium). The workshop will bring together educators and researchers with experience or interested in using data rights in their teaching. Data rights have existed in some manner in Europe for over half a century, and have been used to empower people against discrimination, abuse of power, indignity and other negative consequences that might result from data processing. In the last few years, the European Union (EU) has adopted a barrage of digital rules, many of which introduce, strengthen, or expand data rights. For data rights to be meaningful, however, they need to be exercised widely and frequently, and thus also for various purposes. With this workshop we wish to better understand how data rights can empower individuals in increasingly datafied societies also in education, beyond some more commonly discussed contexts of (academic) research<https://osf.io/preprints/lawarxiv/b5dwm>, litigation<https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/#!/details?id=ECLI:NL:GHAMS:2023:796>, or citizens awareness<file:///Users/jefausloos/Documents/Work/04.Conferences:meetings/20240209-TeachingDataRights/%3chttps:/urbanstudies.brussels/news-events/urban-brussels-2-repair-cafes-digital-rights%3e>. We are interested in discussing how to teach about data rights (e.g. exploring requirements, compliance, or how to excercise them), and using data rights to teach about other topics (e.g. media literacy, data doubles, digital infrastructures, or content moderation). In other words, we aim to discuss data rights both as the object of learning, and data rights as pedagogical tool. We are looking for participants with experience in using data rights in teaching or interested in learning from others how to integrate them in their curricula. We are committed to integrating perspectives from different disciplines present at the workshop (e.g., computer science, critical data studies, education studies, law, etc.) to stimulate new insights and creative usages. We ask interested participants to submit a short motivation letter (max 1 page) describing how they use or see a connection between data rights and their educational activities. Send your expression of interest to: Rocco.Saverino(a)vub.be<mailto:Rocco.Saverino@vub.be>. Limited funding is available to cover (international) travel expenses of some participants. Please indicate in your expression of interest whether you would require funding to participate. IMPORTANT DATES * Deadline for submission: 10 January 2024. * Responses to submission: 15 January 2024. * Workshop: 9 February 2024. ORGANISERS Gloria González Fuster (LSTS, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) Jef Ausloos (IViR, Universiteit van Amsterdam) Midas Nouwens (Aarhus Universitet/Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) SUPPORT The workshop is supported by the Articulating Law, Technology, Ethics and Politics: Issues of Enforcement and Jurisdiction of EU Data Protection Law under and beyond the General Data Protection Regulation (ALTEP-DP<https://researchportal.vub.be/en/projects/srp-onderzoekszwaartepunt-articul…>) project.
