Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 13:11:40 +1000 From: Larry Stillman Reply-To: ciresearchers at vancouvercommunity.net, Larry Stillman To: ciresearchers at vancouvercommunity.net Dear Colleagues, Abstracts for the conference are arriving, but don't be late. The deadline for abstracts is 11 May 2018. Please also forward to colleagues. THIS YEAR'S THEME: RESEARCH, PRACTICE AND CREATIVE ENDEAVOUR THAT AIM TO SHAPE AND INFLUENCE POLICY AND PROGRAMS" Most often, we want our work to have influence. Whether in Community Informatics, Development Informatics, Community Archives, or Art, and Archives Memories and ICTs projects involving ICTs, we aim for activity that influences not just future projects or research programs, but also government policy. However, the interests of different audiences (the academy, communities on the ground, NGOs, funders, policy makers) are not necessarily congruent when it comes to being influenced by the impacts, outcomes, value and worth of a project program, or more abstract research. Choices need to be made. The attempt to shape and influence on the basis of research and practice is sometimes expressed as utilization-focussed evaluation "The focus in utilization-focused evaluation is on supporting intended use by intended users. The essence of this approach is a continual examination of and adaptation to how real people in the real world apply evaluation findings and how they experience the evaluation process" (Michael Quinn Patton). But who are the users here? And what is the real world? Who has control? ??? Just what do "shape and influence mean?" For what purposes? Do we become too constrained by trying to "shape and influence" institutions? ??? What about the general space of public discourse, policy, and influence particularly via new media as an alternate means of shaping and influencing? ??? What are good (and bad) examples of shaping and influencing? ??? What are the opportunities and constraints with attempting to shape and influence policies and programs? Can it stifle free inquiry and discourse when there are findings that surprise or raise controversy? ??? Even if the utilization of research and practice are not the key purpose of project or program activity, what assumptions are made about what counts as important or will have influence in reporting to funders, policy-makers and others, including communities themselves? ??? Can the focus on future utilization result in hindering innovation or experimentation? What forms of research and practice are most useful in meeting this challenge? Are they a help or hindrance? ??? What is the place of community-based research in such an orientation? Who leads? Who follows? Whose voices count? ??? How is research/practice messaged to different audiences for impact? ??? Is seeking to influence in a neoliberal environment turning scholarship and practice into commodities for selection? Are there novel perspectives/approaches/methodologies that help expose underlying assumptions implicit in neoliberal approaches to ICT-related contexts? What are innovative solutions to these persistent challenges? ??? What are the alignments and discontinuities between bottom-up ideals that are often process driven and the demands of funders and policy-makers for "useful" and "accountable research and practice? What has worked or not worked for you? Can the imposition of requirements be used as a form of power and control? What forms of reporting have been or could be most useful to different audiences? ??? We are particularly interest in papers that can report on and theorize these problems in community informatics, development informatics, community archives the arts/archives community. We welcome papers (referred, work-in-progress, non- refereed), presentations and papers (including Graduate student presentations) related to any aspect of Community Informatics Community Archiving, or Development Informatics, or the Art, and Archives Memories and ICTs space. We are particularly interested in papers from researchers and practitioners that can address the challenges of locating community-focussed research within wider theoretical and practice frameworks.
