SUMMARY:How Are You? Sentiment\, Surveillance\, and Anti-Asian Racism
DESCRIPTION:Wendy Hui Kyong Chun\nUniversity of Toronto\nCritical Digital Humanities Initiative\nIn-Person: Saturday\, October 1\nCampbell Conference Facility\n5:00-6:30 pm EST\n\nWendy Hui Kyong Chun is the Canada 150 Research Chair in New Media at the Simon Fraser University School of Communication. Dr. Chun is the author of Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media (2016)\, Programmed Visions: Software and Memory (2011)\, and Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics (2006)\, as well as numerous articles and edited collections.  She has received fellowships from various foundations and institutes\, including the Guggenheim Foundation\, ACLS\, American Academy of Berlin\, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard.

The Institute aims to integrate research in the humanities and data sciences to address questions of equality and social justice in order to combat the proliferation of online “echo chambers\,” abusive language\, discriminatory algorithms and mis/disinformation by fostering critical and creative user practices and alternative paradigms for connection. It has four distinct research streams all led by Dr. Chun: Beyond Verification which looks at authenticity and the spread of disinformation; From Hate to Agonism\, focusing on fostering democratic exchange online; Desegregating Network Neighbourhoods\, combatting homophily across platforms; and Discriminating Data: Neighbourhoods\, Individuals and Proxies\, investigating the centrality of race\, gender\, class and sexuality to big data and network analytics.

SUMMARY:Nanditha Narayanamoorthy presents to the DDI
DESCRIPTION:Nanditha Narayanamoorthy is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Information\, Technology and Public Life (CITAP) at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. Her work draws from a Humanities-based framework to understand the relationship between technology and democracy and rethink digital infrastructure and platform design\, particularly for marginalized communities in the Global South. \nAs an interdisciplinary scholar at the intersection of Critical Digital Studies\, Gender Studies\, and Social Justice\, she investigates the role digital infrastructures play in centering vulnerable groups online. She studies digital protest to examine how religious\, gendered\, and ethnic minorities employ social media platforms in the Indian context to create and perform their political identities and create safe spaces for their digital assembly. She also examines how these marginalized communities are targeted by state-sponsored digital hate campaigns that undermine democracy.

What networks and relations may be obscured or revealed if we interrogate the constitution of the center? This year\, we focus on the centrality of the ‘elsewhere’ and the ‘otherwise’ in the production of media experiences and media technologies. To consider the many historical\, geographic\, economic\, and material dynamics at play\, we center our inquiry around the notion of the hinterlands\, and invite contributions to the question: What and where are the hinterlands of media and technology? \nThe full CFP is attached below; applicants are required to send a 300-350 word abstract\, bio\, and any supporting media via this application form by May 1st\, 2022.\nInformation is also available at www.postmanconference.org and questions can be directed to postman.nyu@gmail.com. We will also be posting regular updates on Twitter \nIn addition\, we are hosting a virtual CFP launch event on March 24\, 2022\, at 12:30 PM EST\, with a discussion of the theme’s relevance for work in different areas and sites\, featuring: \nLily Chumley – Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication\, NYU \nMartin Scherzinger – Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication\, NYU \nPhilipp Seuferling – Visiting Researcher at the Dept. of Media\, Culture\, and Communication\, NYU; PhD\, Södertörn University\, Stockholm (2021) \nAyesha Omer – Postdoctoral Fellow\, UPenn Annenberg School of Communications\, Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication; PhD\, Dept. of Media\, Culture\, and Communication\, NYU (2020) \nWe invite all prospective applicants and those interested in the theme in general to join this conversation. Opportunities for networking and socializing for graduate students have been limited during the past few years\, and we hope this event will allow participants to build an intellectual community and engage in conversations in advance of meeting in person this fall. \n
