In this workshop, we will analyze these changes to the informational state and discuss how we can address them through three themes: *pedagogy for information ethics and policy*, *engagement with policymakers*, and *information ethics and policy across information science*. Workshop participants are encouraged to participate in a variety of ways and will leave the workshop with tangible products that can be used in research and teaching. *Contributions*: For the workshop, we seek several different types of contributions: - Panel: A panel should incorporate two of the themes (see below, under workshop organization) and each panel is encouraged to include at least one person outside academia. Panels should be explicit about which themes are addressed and include a brief biography of each contributor. - Paper: A paper should address one of the themes (see below) in detail, tying it back to the broader discussion of the changed information state. Papers should be 3500-5000 words. - Speaker: We seek volunteers to synthesize these themes (see below) and address potential big-picture implications of these trends. Those interested in being a featured speaker should submit a c.v. and a brief essay (under 5000 words) on these themes. *The deadline for all contributions is 8/18*. Contributions should be emailed to Shannon Oltmann at shannon.oltmann at uky.edu. Contact Shannon Oltmann with any questions. Read the full workshop proposal here . -- *?A.J.

[https://mlsvc01-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/542e21df501/e08e8994-c3d6-4ece-939e-dc0bed8f4c44.png]The webinar aims to review recent research on internet traffic security guidelines and best practices, outlining a basis for future standards, certifications, laws, policies and/or product ratings. The recently published white paper of the same name provides the platform for the webinar. The authors of the white paper will lead the webinar with details on security mechanisms necessary for consideration at the manufacturing design phase leading up to deployment of devices to internet service providers and end users. The authors assert that a thorough study on protecting internet traffic does not yet exist, and they propose, based on their findings, that existing technology is not yet sufficient to meet the goal of protecting internet traffic. The best practices presented are centered around countering and preventing malicious activity. By setting up a secure network with industry standard security protocols, the risk and potential legal liabilities associated with an unsecured network can be proactively addressed. ________________________________ The Presenters Jared Bielby, Netizen Consulting Jared Bielby is an active consultant and project manager for initiatives in digital culture, information ethics and internet governance and is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of The Freelance Netizen.

Emily Begin forwarded message: From: Kathryn La Barre > Subject: Re: ASIST 80th Anniversary initiative SIG help requested! Date: August 4, 2017 at 10:06:34 AM CDT Thanks to those of you who have responded to my request with bibliographic citations! You have one last chance - please send your SIG's nominations for key or high impact papers by August 10th. The original request is below: I'm writing to you, a SIG officer, in my capacity as Chair of the ASIST 80th Anniversary Advisory Group. This group is advising Wiley (the JASIST publisher) on their project to identify key and high impact papers in JASIST. For their part Wiley conducted a bibliometric study of highly cited papers, ranked by decade. As part of this initiative the 80thAG is soliciting nominations of JASIST papers that have been central to your own work, or to that of your SIG. Wiley realizes that articles can be quite useful without attracting bibliographic citations, so we are asking your opinions! In early September, all ASIST members will have a chance to vote on the most significant JASIST paper for each decade. The papers span the years 1956-2017. The outcome of this initiative will be a Wiley-hosted website that features access to select papers. ASIST members will be able to add comments and images. This website will launch during the upcoming annual meeting in Washington, DC. Please send your paper nominations (in the form of a citation) by August 15th to klabarre at illinois.edu Kathryn La Barre Director at Large, Association for Information Science and Technology Chair ASIST Anniversary Advisory Group Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please see details below. ???????????? Information Ethics Roundtable 2018 Surveillance, Algorithms, and Digital Culture University of Copenhagen, Denmark May 17-18, 2018 Proposals Due: February 5, 2018 Notification of Acceptance: March 5, 2018 Full papers due: April 23, 2018 http://www.ier2018.info/ The 16th annual Information Ethics Roundtable (IER) will explore the interconnections and interdependencies between Surveillance, Algorithms, and Digital Culture that exist in the contemporary information society. Our daily lives and activities take place in digital media; information provision is highly personalized; decision-making is guided (automated) by the use of algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence; personal information is traded on the information market by platforms and data brokers; and surveillance, in many forms, is increasingly pervading both the public-facing and more intimate aspects of our daily lives. In the 2018 edition of IER, we seek proposals that approach these interconnections and interdependencies through the lens of information ethics (writ large, to include those working in multiple fields and with differing methods). The Information Ethics Roundtable (held annually since 2003) is a yearly conference that brings together researchers from disciplines such as philosophy, information science, communications, public administration, anthropology, and law to discuss ethical issues such as information privacy, intellectual property, intellectual freedom, and censorship. Proposals for IER 2018 should be situated within the general field of information ethics (although participants are expected to come from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds) and, ideally, should connect two or more of the following areas of inquiry: - Surveillance, privacy, and/or data protection - Algorithms, machine learning, and/or artificial intelligence (AI) - Digital culture, digital media, social media, and/or other forms of digital media (non-)use *Proposal requirements* We invite two types of proposals: (1) Papers: please submit a 500-word abstract of your paper. If accepted, you are expected to submit a full paper prior to the Roundtable, and you will be presenting the paper at the conference. The paper will not be stored in a public repository or published in proceedings. (2) Panels: please submit a 1500-word description of your panel. The description should include: i) description of the topic, ii) biographies of the panel members, ii) organization of the panel. It is a requirement that panels focus tightly on a specific emergent topic, technology, phenomena, policy, or the like, with clear connections between the presentations. Proposals should be sent to: sille.obelitz at hum.ku.dk Please include the subject line: ?IER 2018 proposal? We are also interested in receiving expressions of interest to serve as a commenter/discussant for another person?s paper, as each author with an accepted paper will be paired with a commenter who will provide formal feedback and comments during the conference (after the initial paper presentation; discussants will be included in the official conference program). Expressions of interest should be sent to: sille.obelitz at hum.ku.dk by April 16, 2018, although decisions will be made on a rolling basis after March 5, 2018 (the paper notification deadline). Please include the subject line: ?IER 2018 commenter.? *Deadlines* Submission of Proposals (papers and panels): Monday February 5, 2018 Notification of Acceptance: Monday March 5, 2018 Full Paper Deadline: Monday April 23, 2018 Registration Deadline: Friday May 4, 2018 Conference Dates: Thursday & Friday May 17-18, 2018 More information on conference website: http://www.ier2018.info/ ???????????? -- *Bryce Clayton Newell, Ph.D., **J.D.* Assistant Professor School of Information Science, University of Kentucky @newmedialaw | www.bcnewell.com Google Scholar | ResearchGate | SSRN -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The conference will engage with the possibilities, potentials, pitfalls, limits, and ideologies of digital activism. It will reflect on whether computational social science, the digital humanities and ubiquitous datafication enable new research approaches or result in a digital positivism that threatens the independence of critical research and brings about the death of the social sciences and humanities. The conference will explore the futures, places and possibilities of critique in the age of digital subjects and digital objects.
