CFP: "Overcoming Inequalities in Internet Governance: framing digital policy capacity building strategies" GigArts2018 / CIGP 26-27 April 2018, Cardiff
by William Drake Nov. 21, 2017

Nov. 21, 2017

Hi GIG-ARTs http://gig-arts.eu <http://gig-arts.eu/> is a network of European-based Internet governance scholars that’s holding its second annual conference in Cardiff in April. We’d love to get some good paper proposal related to the themes outlined below. Deadline for abstracts is 8 January. Please share with any potentially interested colleagues etc. In this context, I'd love to get a cluster of good paper proposals on digital trade so that we can constitute a panel and ultimately a section of the planned conference book. If anyone finds this an appealing possibility please be in touch with me. Thanks Bill > > > GIG-ARTS 2018 - The Second European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies > > 26-27 April 2018, Cardiff > > Overcoming Inequalities in Internet Governance: framing digital policy capacity building strategies > > Organised by: Centre for Internet and Global Politics / School of Law and Politics / Cardiff University > > In partnership with: DiploFoundation, The ECPR Standing Group on Internet and Politics, The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) > > Deadline 08.January.2018 > > Abstract > > After having explored “Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue” at its first edition held in Paris in 2007, the Second European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS 2018) addresses power inequalities in internet governance, and digital policy capacity building strategies aiming at overcoming gaps in digital policy developments. > > Connectivity infrastructure is constantly expanding, while internet access is incessantly growing across countries, regions and socio-political contexts. In this context, new and crucial questions emerge from a governance and security perspective. As for the latter, new connectivity calls for cybersecurity capacity building strategies aiming at secure digital infrastructure. At the same time, from a governance perspective, traditional powers in the governance of the internet are increasingly challenged from newly connected actors who demand more influence in the transnational debate around digital policy development. As a result, despite claims for equal representations and diversity since the first World Summit on Information Society in 2003, the narrowing of the digital divide opens new and key questions: Whether and what inequalities exist in internet governance decision making? How is the rapidly changing internet geography and sociography reflected in the governance of the internet? Moreover, in order to increase awareness and enhance involvement of newly connected countries in national and transnational digital policy developments, what are the best internet governance capacity building strategies available? How do newly connected countries and actors build their digital policy capacity, and do they develop an active role in the transnational internet governance debate? Whether in newly or early connected countries, various kinds of divides persist across socio-cultural and political contexts, reflecting if not extending societal and socio-economic inequalities. Are such renewed forms of inequalities and discriminations adequately addressed in internet governance debates? What are the requirements for digital policies to actually empower people and uphold their individual and collective rights online? > > In order to answer these crucial and manifold questions, the conference will bring together an outstanding network of experts working on internet governance, digital inequalities, and cybersecurity capacity building. The conference welcomes theoretically relevant, empirically grounded research, and/or policy oriented contributions, addressing internet governance inequalities, digital policy making, and cybersecurity capacity building. In particular, submissions could address either of the following topics (list non exhaustive): > > Inequalities in the governance of the internet > Governance strategies among new and emerging actors > Geopolitical coalitions among actors (e.g. BRICS) > Multistakeholder models and their efficacy > Cybersecurity capacity building > Digital divides > Telecom Reforms > Online discriminations > Violent content and harassment online > “Fake news” and other kinds of manipulations > Individual and collective empowerment > Human rights online > Digital Trade > > Program Chair > Andrea Calderaro > Centre for Internet and Global Politics, University of Cardiff, United Kingdom > > Program Committee > William J.

Call for proposals: Good Data book chapters
by Angela Daly Nov. 15, 2017

Nov. 15, 2017

Good Data Call for Proposals for an INC Theory on Demand edited book *Editors: Angela Daly (Queensland University of Technology), Kate Devitt (Queensland University of Technology) & Monique Mann (Queensland University of Technology).* In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in the collection, aggregation and automated analysis of information by government and private actors, and in response to this there has been a significant critique regarding what could be termed ‘bad’ data practices in the globalised digital economy. These include the mass gathering of data about individuals, in opaque, unethical and at times illegal ways, and the increased use of that data in unaccountable and potentially discriminatory forms of algorithmic decision-making by both state agencies and private companies. Issues of data ethics and data justice are only likely to increase in importance given the totalizing datafication of society and the introduction of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation. In order to paint an alternative, more optimistic but still pragmatic picture of the datafied future, this open access edited collection will examine and propose what could be termed ‘good’ and ‘ethical’ data practices, underpinned by values and principles such as (but not limited to): · privacy/regulation/information security by design · due process rights · procedural legitimacy · the protection of individual and collective autonomy · digital sovereignty · digital anti-discrimination · data and intersectionality · ethical labour practices · environmental sustainability. Chapters should be short contributions (2500-5000 words) which can take differing forms, for example: · Manifestos for Good Data · Position papers · Traditional academic chapters Chapters can be theoretical takes or provocations on what Good Data is or should be, or can be case studies of particular Good Data projects and initiatives e.g. Indigenous data sovereignty initiatives, data cooperatives etc. Chapters can also be critiques of initiatives/movements which claim to be ethical but in fact fall short. All chapters, including academic ones, should be written in an accessible way and avoid the excessive use of jargon, etc. Academic chapters will be peer-reviewed. Other contributions will be editor-reviewed. We encourage contributions from throughout the world and from different disciplinary perspectives: philosophy, media and communications, cultural studies, STS, law, criminology, information systems, computer science etc. Proposals for chapters (up to 250 words) should be sent to Kayleigh Hodgkinson Murphy (kayleigh.murphy(a)qut.edu.au) by Friday 15 December 2017. Please include a brief biography (indicating whether you are an academic or practitioner, etc) and signal what kind of chapter you are proposing (manifesto/academic chapter, etc). If you have an idea for a chapter and want to discuss it before submitting a proposal, please contact Angela Daly (angela.daly(a)qut.edu.au) as soon as possible. We may be able to pair, for example, practitioners with academic authors on request. Decisions on proposals will be made by mid-January 2017, with a first full draft of chapters to be submitted by 31 March 2018. We anticipate the book will be finalized and launched in late 2018, as part of the Institute of Network Cultures’ Theory on Demand series <http://networkcultures.org/publications/#tods>.
