The panel will cover the broad intersection of power, politics and digital development including both directionalities ? the impact of power and politics on design, diffusion, implementation and outcomes of ICT application; and the impact of ICT application on power and politics ? and their mutual interaction. We welcome work anywhere along the spectrum from the micro-exercise of power within individual ICT4D initiatives through the politics of national ICT-using organisations and institutions to global Internet governance. Other topics for papers might include but are not limited to: - The organisational politics of ICT4D - Digital resources as foundations of power in development - Reproduction and transformation of power and inequality through digital development - Digital development discourse as a source and reflection of power - The institutional logics that conflict and contest to shape digital development - How national and international ICT policies address and express issues of power The following timeline will be observed: - 25 April 2016 - prospective presenters to submit a ?paper proposal?

Please excuse any cross postings, and feel free to contact Emily Knox knox at illinois.edu and myself jtfburgess at ua.edu if you have any questions about this project. *Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Fundamentals of Information Ethics for the Information Fields* This call is for book chapter proposals for an edited information ethics textbook. /Fundamentals of Information Ethics for the Information Fields/ would serve as a guided outline for instructors to use when developing course content for either standalone information ethics courses or information ethics modules within fields such as library and information science and computer science. Since many graduate students in the information fields lack the background in philosophy or ethics needed to quickly understand primary philosophical source material each chapter author would be called on to provide a clear introduction to a single information ethics concept. Examples of possible core IE concepts include, but are not limited to: ? * Digital divide* ? Data Ethics ? Intellectual Property ? Privacy & Surveillance ? Information Access ? * Global citizenship * ? Institutional ethics ? Ethics of the organization of information ? Ethics and archival studies ? Cognitive justice Authors would be asked to contribute a scholarly analysis of the concept, including summarizing its intellectual history, noting major contributors to its growth. Once the background information is presented, the chapter author is then encouraged to encapsulate continuing issues and concerns relevant to their concept. (For example a critique of traditional digital divide narratives from the standpoint of critical race theory, or considering issues of privacy and surveillance in neo-capitalist societies) This will allow authors to contribute their own expert knowledge on the subject, while providing content to stimulate classroom discussion. In this way, the volume able to reflect a wider variety of approaches to information ethics research from diverse scholarly perspectives. This textbook will be edited by Dr. John Burgess, University of Alabama and Dr. Emily Knox, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in response to a proposal request solicited by MIT Press, with an anticipated publication date of 2017. Chapter proposals should include a 500-word abstract summarizing both the information ethics concept and approach to emerging issues the chapter will cover. Please direct inquiries and chapter proposals to John Burgess jtfburgess at ua.edu and Emily Knox knox at illinois.edu *Deadline for proposal submissions is Friday April 22nd, 2016.* John Burgess Assistant Professor/DE Coordinator School of Library & Information Studies The University of Alabama Office 205-348-1523 jtfburgess at ua.edu | http://slis.ua.edu ** ** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Even within the most prosperous nations, digital divides remain significant, based on such factors as age and income, but also geography, excluding many in rural areas and distressed areas of cities. The consequences are increasingly significant to perpetuating social and economic inequalities as government services, healthcare, education and job opportunities move online. Resources have been invested in initiatives to close digital divides, but with limited results. This Workshop will explore theories and methods guiding the study of divides, and critically assess emerging policy and practice. Multiple stakeholders are invited to identify promising policy and technical initiatives, and how they can best be studied. See more details herehttp://bit.ly/1VOgtES.
