[Sigifp-l] SIG IEP 2018 Workshop

Fri Mar 30 13:37:52 EDT 2018

Hi all – this looks just great, and combining the three SIGs is an awesome idea (for attendance purposes and for interested). Is everyone on board with this—have all SIGs signed on?

Hello all,

Colin and I met on Tuesday and discussed the idea of joining the forces of three SIGs (SI< IEP< and SM) to have a full-day workshop with theme of sociotechnical perspective on ethics and governance of emerging information technologies. We also discussed the idea with John. Here, is the draft we put together for the workshop proposal<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p_ehyhpSrtj5Lwt14F1pqMLaNsw2suw8nloGRzaoIBs/edit?usp=sharing>. I tried to incorporate the themes suggested by the SIG IEP members and from last year notes. I also borrowed from Jenny's proposal. Please let us know if you have any feedback and if you are willing to serve on the program committee.

For the Social Informatics Symposium we usually have a separate CFP which goes out after the ASIST acceptance notifications. The deadline is usually in August. We also send the result of review process before the early bird registration that presenters can register by then.

All the best,
Emad

Emad's idea has a lot of merit. How do joint efforts work out in the end for SIGs?

Having some technical industry professionals involved would be nice as well.

Hello all,

I want to pitch an idea that I discussed with John Burgess and we decided to seek the SIG members opinion. I am currently the chair of SIG SI ( and the chair-elect of SIG IEP). In the SIG SI, we are discussing potential collaboration with other SIGs for the annual social informatics symposium. In the past 15 years, SIG SI hosted the annual social informatics symposium at the ASIS&T annual meeting. Considering the range of topics presented in the last year IEP workshop and those suggested on this thread, I thought it would be a great opportunity to join forces of the two SIGs and bring together a wider audience to look into the ethics and governance of platforms and AI and their societal implications. This can take form of a full-day symposium with a range of presentations from both SIGs. I was also thinking that we may be able to even reach out to the people in the industry to attend to start a dialogue on these pressing issues.

What do you think?

Best,
Emad

Colin:

We had around 10 people attend last year. I sent out several rounds of e-mails to the other SIG e-mail lists and Shannon recruited two local presenters. Additionally, I believe Emad was the one who reached out to Sandra Brahman.

My suggestion is that we try and flesh out the details sooner rather than later so we're able to advertise well in advance.

Looking over Emily's notes, they also match my recollection of what we hoped to talk about in Vancouver. I guess at this point, we just need to settle on a direction. It seems to me that questions about format will depend on what we hope to accomplish.

Thank you, Shannon.

I took the liberty of kicking off this thread.  I also created a Google Doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-QSss8ky9gRlxZmw-c3qDhbNE1ztEOSIymiwBoU-vDw/edit?usp=sharing> that we could use to flesh out the full-blown proposal, which is due April 2nd.

In addition to the topics that Emily shared in her email (also in the Google Doc), it sounds like there are additional areas of interest (ethics of IoT, etc.) that we could explore.

As we work to flesh out the details in the Google Doc, could someone who attended last year’s pre-conference workshop give us a better idea of the format and logistics that would be helpful to know as we work on the proposal?

For example: How many speakers, panels, or presentations should we aim for this year’s workshop based on last year?  Any lessons learned from last year that we might want to consider this year as we write the proposal?  Anything else that you wished you’d included in last year’s proposal? etc.

Thanks!
Colin

I think we may be talking about two different things.

1.The info Emily shared is focused ideas that we discussed in 2017 about a pre-conference workshop for 2018 (usually half a day long) that would be a sustained though somewhat informal look at a topic with multiple angles/ perspectives/ technologies/ etc. (It looks like, in 2018, all workshops will be post-conference.) Here are guidelines for workshops:https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/workshops/.

2. The call I circulated a few days ago is from the Social Media SIG and is a call for a panel—that is, 3-5 people who briefly discuss one area during the regular conference. They would be happy to have some SIG-IEP folks participate.

See here for more info on the two types of submissions: https://www.asist.org/am18/call-for-proposals/ (scroll down to “Submission Types” for details).

I hope this disambiguates the past several emails. Perhaps setting up a conference call where we could discuss ideas would be beneficial? (I leave that in the hands of John Burgess, who is this year’s chair, or someone else who wants to step forward).

To re-ambiguate things (haha), I’m interested in a floating a third idea: a panel about the ways that emerging technologies can restrain or enhance information access, and the ethics therein. I would be willing to lead the development and submission efforts on this one if other folks are interested.

Finally, to lead efforts on any of the following generally entails: a) developing the idea fully and getting collaborators on board b) writing the first draft of the submission c) soliciting feedback and revision d) submitting the proposal by the deadline e) shepherding collaborators just before and during the presentation and f) coordinating with ASIST administration if it is a workshop. Written out like that, it sounds like a long list, but it’s not really too bad. Most of it happens in bits, not all at once, and generally people are willing to collaborate and pitch in.

I suggest changing the email subject line to make clear what we’re talking about:
-Use “2018 workshop” if you’re referring to a half-day workshop based on the ideas Emily circulated (or, honestly, it could draw from different ideas)
-Use “Social Media panel” if you’re referring to the call for panelists that I circulated a few days ago
-Use “Information Access panel” if you’re referring to the proposal I just mentioned above
-Make up a different subject line if it’s about none of the above

Here’s what we discussed in DC:

Here are some ideas we’ve discussed in preparation for the ASIST Annual Meeting 2018. The theme is:  Building an ethical and sustainable information future with emerging technologies.

I’ve just written down the notes as I took them at the SIG pre-conference workshop. Feel free to annotate, add, change, etc. Add your name in specific areas if you want to work on those areas.

Sustainability and policy and ethics
    -disappearing data
-scientific infrastructures that make environmental sustainability research possible

Toll/impact of information technology on developing world
    -such as disposal of lost/broken/discarded items
    -offshoring (information jobs)
    -extraction of resources for computing devices (mining)
    -could collaborate with SIG III (international)

Hate speech/ dignity of persons
    -could work with SIG social media

Canada (do comparative policy with U.S.)
-universal access and internet development
-multiple languages--oral histories
    -talk to Canadians about information policy (University of British Columbia?)

Should it be based on the document sent out earlier? If so I can probably draft something. What would taking the lead entail? Is there documentation about it?

Hi all,

I’m happy to coordinate, but don’t have time to take the lead right now either. Is anyone willing to pull together a paragraph or two that might serve as a proposal seed? We can collectively work on rounding it into shape after that.

Cheers,

Is anyone taking the lead on our pre-conference workshop proposal?  I have heard some interest from a few people but I will not be able to shepherd this through.

Friends, the Social Media SIG of ASIST has issued an interesting call that is probably relevant to many of us. Please see the attached.
