JustPublics@365 Summit: ReImagining Scholarly Communication for the 21st Century TtW is a part of this summit organized by our partners at JustPublics@365. March 1st-6thIn a week-long series of events, this JustPublics@365 Summit will explore a set of questions about big changes in scholarly communication. How is the web changing the way we produce knowledge, engage with publics beyond the academy and work for social justice? What does it mean to be a scholar in the digital era? How is the measure of scholarly impact changing?

#OccupyData Hackathon #OccupyData will be holding a hackaton at the CUNY Graduate Center in parallel with #TtW13. They are very open to discussing their work and invite #TtW13 attendees to pop in for a visit. Register here. Occupy Data is a collective of researchers, artists, occupiers, and hackers to discover new ways of relating to the Occupy movement through analysis and visualization. New-York-based Occupy Data hackers will be creating a space for for more days of planning, discussion and implementation. The data sets from previous OccupyData and Occupy research events will be available, as well as some new data from Occupy Sandy. Occupy Data is a subgroup of Occupy Research, with the aim of mining and visualizing datasets related to the Occupy movement. At previous hackathons, teams of people worked on separate projects, with the goal of using free and open source tools to creatively present data pertinent to the Occupy movement and the issues it has raised. Read more about previous projects, get inspired about what you might like to work on here. |

Announcing David Lyon's keynote: Location: CUNY Graduate Center Auditorium Date: Saturday, March 2nd The Emerging Culture of Surveillance: Digital Data, Visibility and the Web Awareness of the everyday realities of mass surveillance has been growing in recent decades due, in no small part, to the widespread shift to digital technologies. This has raised practical concerns such as threats to "privacy" and has given rise to concepts such as the "surveillance society." The focus of these discussions is frequently on the large and often linked organizations that use surveillance or the technologies that facilitate it. Less has been said about the experiences of surveillance or the ways in which attitudes and practices are shifting under conditions of intensifying surveillance. Why and how do people comply with, negotiate or resist surveillance today? I suggest that an emerging culture of surveillance exists, characterized by two apparently contradictory factors in particular; 'fear' and 'fun.' However, surveillance culture today cannot be understood without considering the pre-history of these factors. |

Announcing Alice Marwick's plenary: Location: CUNY Graduate Center's James Gallery Date: Friday, March 1st Wall Posts Can't Protect You: Networked Privacy & Social Surveillance in Facebook In the autumn of 2012, a popular Facebook meme involved a cut-and-paste “privacy notice” that served as a folk legal strategy, aimed at protecting people’s Facebook posts from being used by, well, Facebook. While this was quickly debunked, its popularity points to a larger issue, namely the futility of individual control over information dissemination, and thus the reliance on others to protect individual privacy on social network sites like Facebook, which I conceptualize as networked privacy. Online privacy is often framed either as a binary of public vs. private information, or of information that flows from a known and anticipated context to an unknown and unanticipated context. Neither frame takes into account the affordances of social technologies, which enable people to widely share information about someone without their consent, that preclude individual control over privacy. For many, control over social context and individual agency is required to feel that something is private. However, the power differentials inherent in human relationships mean that both control and agency are constantly violated, not only by changing technologies, but by differing levels of social status. These power differentials are also illuminated by the widespread practice of social surveillance, or the close examination of content created by others and views of one’s own content through other people’s eyes. Individuals strategically reveal, disclose and conceal personal information to create connections with others and tend social boundaries. Using examples from ethnographic studies of American social media use, I discuss how Facebook’s promotion of networked privacy and social surveillance contributes to the reinforcement of tightly striated social hierarchies. |
