From jlorince at indiana.edu Wed Jan 1 21:49:18 2014 From: jlorince at indiana.edu (Jared Lorince) Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2014 21:49:18 -0500 Subject: [Sigtis-l] ACM Web Science Conference (WebSci'14), June 23-26, 2014 Message-ID: *** Apologies for multiple postings *** CALL FOR PAPERS & CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ACM Web Science Conference (WebSci'14), June 23-26, 2014 Bloomington, Indiana, USA websci14.org / @WebSciConf / #WebSci14 Deadline for papers: Feb. 23rd 2014 Deadline for workshop & tutorial proposals: Jan. 17th 2014 Web Science is the emergent science of the people, organizations, applications, and of policies that shape and are shaped by the Web, the largest informational artifact constructed by humans in history. Web Science embraces the study of the Web as a vast universal information network of people and communities. As such, Web Science includes the study of social networks whose work, expression, and play take place on the Web. The social sciences and computational sciences meet in Web Science and complement one another: Studying human behavior and social interaction contributes to our understanding of the Web, while Web data is transforming how social science is conducted. The Web presents us with a great opportunity as well as an obligation: If we are to ensure the Web benefits humanity we must do our best to understand it. Call for Papers The Web Science conference is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate computer and information sciences, communication, linguistics, sociology, psychology, economics, law, political science, philosophy, digital humanities, and other disciplines in pursuit of an understanding of the Web. This conference is unique in the manner in which it brings these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue, and we invite papers from all the above disciplines, and in particular those that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Following the success of WebSci'09 in Athens, WebSci'10 in Raleigh, WebSci'11 in Koblenz, WebSci '12 in Evanston, and WebSci'13 in Paris, for the 2014 conference we are seeking papers and posters that describe original research, analysis, and practice in the field of Web Science, as well as work that discusses novel and thought-provoking ideas and works-in-progress. Possible topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: * Analysis of human behavior using social media, mobile devices, and online communities * Methodological challenges of analyzing Web-based * large-scale social interaction * Data-mining and network analysis of the Web and human communities on the Web * Detailed studies of micro-level processes and interactions * on the Web * Collective intelligence, collaborative production, and social computing * Theories and methods for computational social science on the Web * Studies of public health and health-related behavior on the Web * The architecture and philosophy of the Web * The intersection of design and human interaction on the Web * Economics and social innovation on the Web * Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons * Personal data, trust, and privacy * Web and social media research ethics * Studies of Linked Data, the Cloud, and digital eco-systems * Big data and the study of the Web * Web access, literacy, and development * Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web * People-driven Web technologies, including crowd-sourcing, open data, and new interfaces * Digital humanities * Arts & culture on the Web or engaging audiences using Web resources * Web archiving techniques and scholarly uses of Web archives * New research questions and thought-provoking ideas A separate Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals is on the conference website at: http://www.websci14.org/#call-for-workshop-and-tutorial-proposals Submission Web Science is necessarily a very selective single track conference with a rigorous review process. To accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, we provide three different submission formats: full papers, short papers, and posters. For all types of submissions, inclusion in the ACM DL proceedings will be by default, but not mandatory (opt-out via EasyChair). All accepted research papers (full and short papers) will be presented during the single-track conference. All accepted posters will be given a spot in the single-track lightning talk session, and room to present their papers during a dedicated poster session. Full research papers (5 to 10 pages, ACM double column, 20 mins presentation including Q&A) Full research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published. Research papers should present substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Short research papers (up to 5 pages, ACM double column, 15 mins presentation including Q&A) Short research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published. Research papers can present preliminary theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Posters (up to 2 pages, ACM double column, lightning talk + poster presentation) Extended abstracts for posters, which should be in English, can be up to 2 pages. Submission instructions Full and short paper and poster submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template (WebSci archive format at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Please submit papers using EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=websci2014. Other creative submission formats (flexible formats) Other types of creative submissions are also encouraged, and the exact format and style of presentation are open. Examples might include artistic performances or installations, interactive exhibits, demonstrations, or other creative formats. For these submissions, the proposers should make clear both what they propose to do, and any special requirements they would need to successfully do it (in terms of space, time, technology, etc.) Review The Web Science program committee consists of a program committee that covers all relevant areas of Web Science. Each submission will be refereed by three PC members and one short meta review written by a Co-PC chair, to cover both the research background of each submission as well as the necessary interdisciplinary aspects. (Optional) Archival Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library All accepted papers and posters will by default appear in the Web Science 2014 Conference Proceedings and can also be made available through the ACM Digital Library, in the same length and format of the submission unless indicated otherwise (those wishing not to be indexed and archived can "opt out" of the proceedings). Call for Workshops and Tutorial Proposals The Web Science conference will start with tutorials and workshops that will promote in-depth training and discussions with the goal of understanding how people, organizations, applications, and policies shape and are shaped by the Web. In agreement with the spirit of the conference, the tutorials and workshops are intended to create opportunities for interdisciplinary discussion around themes and methods that are central to the study of the Web. The list of themes includes, but is not restricted to, 1. Methods for data mining and network research; 2. The study of social dynamics (i.e. political campaigns, censorship) using Web data; 3. The relationship between technical design and individual behaviour (i.e. the impact of by-default design on privacy); 4. The future of the Web in an era of increasing mobile applications; 5. The incentives and limits of regulation; 6. Participatory systems and crowdsourcing; 7. The dynamics of information creation (supply) and consumption (demand) and its relation to real world events. We will give priority to proposals that approach their topic from the perspective of various disciplines, spanning the divide between the social and computer sciences. Tutorials and workshops can be designed as half or full day events. Workshops can have a mixture of panel presentations and invited speakers, but presentations should reflect the diversity of approaches that characterize the multidisciplinary nature of Web Science. For more information about chairs, submission, review, deadlines, etc, please see the full call at http://websci14.org/#call-for-workshop-and-tutorial-proposals or contact websci2014ws at easychair.org.

URL: From jhuns at vt.edu Mon Jan 6 13:05:05 2014 From: jhuns at vt.edu (jeremy hunsinger) Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2014 13:05:05 -0500 Subject: [Sigtis-l] cfp: the Democratization of Hacking & Making Message-ID: <5A860A45-710A-432C-8EAD-BC0737B556C0@vt.edu> Please distribute as appropriate, sorry for the cross-posts -jh Call For Papers: Special Issue of New Media & Society on the Democratization of Hacking & Making Research on hacker culture has historically focused on a relatively narrow set of activities and practices related to open-source software, political protest, and criminality. Scholarship on making has generally been defined as hands-on work with a connection to craft. By contrast, ?hacking? and ?making? in the current day are increasingly inroads to a more diverse range of activities, industries, and groups. They may show a strong cultural allegiance or map new interpretations and trajectories. These developments prompt us to revisit central questions: does the use of hacking/making terminologies carry with them particular valences? Are they deeply rooted in technologies, ideologies or cultures? Are they best examined through certain intellectual traditions? Can they be empowering to participants, or are they merely buzzwords that have been diluted and co-opted by governmental and business entities? What barriers to entry and participation exist? The current issue explores and questions the growing diversity of uses stemming from this turn of hacking towards more popular uses and democratic contexts. Submissions that employ novel methodological and theoretical perspectives to understand this turn in hacking are encouraged. They should explore new opportunities for conversations and consider hacking as rooted in a specific phenomena, culture, environment, practice or movement. Criteria for admission in this special issue include rigor of analysis, caliber of interpretation, and relevance of conclusions. Topics may include: ? Disparities of access and representation, such as gender, race and ethnicity ? Open-access environments for learning and production, such as hacker and maker spaces ? ?Civic hacking? and open data movements on city, state and national levels ? Integration of hacking and making within industries ? Historical analyses of making/hacking such as phreaking and amateur computing ? Popularization of terms like ?hacker? in newspapers, magazines and other publications ? Open-source hardware and software movements ? Appropriation of technology ? Hacking in non-western contexts, such as the global south and China ? Political implications of a popular shift in hacker/maker culture Please email 400 word abstract proposals, along with a short author biography, by May 1, 2014 toaschrock at usc.edu and jhunsinger at wlu.ca. Final selected articles will be due during September 2014 and will undergo peer review.

Information about the summer program, eligibility, and links to the application procedures can be found below and at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/getinvolved/internships_summer. * The application deadline for all students for Summer 2014 is Sunday, February 16, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. ET.** * Please share word of the opportunity to great candidates, and help us continue developing our shared network of movers and shakers working to advance scholarship with impact. Best, Becca ----- *Berkman Center for Internet & Society* < http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/getinvolved/internships_summer>* Summer Internship Program 2014* Each summer the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University swings open the doors of our vibrant yellow house to welcome a group of talented and curious students as full-time interns -Berkterns! < http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=berktern>- who are passionate about the promise of the Internet. Finding connected and complementary research inquiries among their diverse backgrounds, students represent all levels of study, are being trained in disciplines across the board, and come from universities all over the world to tackle issues related to the core of Berkman's research agenda, including law, technology, innovation, and knowledge; the relationships between Internet and civic activity; and the intersection of technology, learning, and development. Summer interns jump head first into the swirl of the Berkman universe, where they are deeply and substantively involved in our research projects and efforts. Becoming invaluable contributors to the Center's operation and success, interns conduct collaborative and independent research under the guidance of Berkman staff, fellows, and faculty. Specific roles, tasks, and experiences vary depending on Center needs and interns' skills; a select list of expected opportunities for Summer 2014 is below. Typically, the workload of each intern is primarily based under one project or suite of projects, with encouragement and flexibility to get involved in additional projects across the Center. In addition to joining research teams, summer interns participate in special lectures with Berkman Center faculty and fellows, engage each other through community experiences like weekly interns discussion hours, and attend Center-wide events and gatherings with members of the wider Berkman community. As well, each year interns establish new channels for fun and learning, such as organizing topical debates; establishing reading groups and book clubs; producing podcasts and videos; and hosting potlucks, cook-offs, and BBQs (fortunately for us, people share). The word "awesome" has been thrown around to describe our internships, but don't take our word for it. Interns Royze Adolfo and Hilda Barasa documented the summer 2012 internship experience here < http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/berkmancentersummer2012/>. Former intern Zack McCune had this to say < http://thames2thayer.com/blog/in-the-spirit-of-the-the-olympics-how-i-learned-to-row-from-an-olympic-all-star/#more-39>: "it has been an enchanting summer working at the berkman center for internet & society. everyday, i get to hang out with some of the most brilliant people on the planet. we talk, we write (emails), we blog, we laugh, we play rock band. and when things need to get done, we stay late hyped on free coffee and leftover food. it is a distinct honor to be considered a peer among such excellent people. and i am not just talking about the fellows, staff, and faculty, though they are all outstanding. no, i mean my peers as in my fellow interns, who are almost definitely the ripening next generation of changemakers." ***Time Commitment:* Summer internships are full time positions (35 hours/week) for 10 weeks. **The Summer 2014 program will run from June 2 through August 8.*** Payment:* Interns are paid $11.50 an hour, with the exception of a number of opportunities for law students who are expected to receive some version of summer public interest funding (more about these specific cases at the link for law students below). Please be forewarned that payment may not be sufficient to cover living expenses in the Boston area. No other benefits are provided, and interns must make their own housing, insurance and transportation arrangements.* Commitment to Diversity:* The work and well-being of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University are strengthened profoundly by the diversity of our network and our differences in background, culture, experience, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and much more. We actively seek and welcome applications from people of color, women, the LGBTQIA community, and persons with disabilities, as well as applications from researchers and practitioners from across the spectrum of disciplines and methods.* Eligibility:* * Internships are open to students enrolled across the full spectrum of disciplines. * Internships are open to students at different levels of academic study including those in bachelor's, master's, law, and Ph.D programs (some flexibility with high school students is possible). * Summer interns do not need to be U.S. residents or in school in the U.S.; indeed, we encourage international students to apply. * Summer interns do not need an existing affiliation with Harvard University.** *To Apply:* We know what you're thinking. /Yes please. I want that. That sounds magical. Did I mention that I have incredible dance moves < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQbFqH6D4g>//?/ Here's what you should do...* * *Law students:*please find application instructions and important additional information here . *Students from disciplines other than law:*please find more information and application instructionshere .* * Required application materials for all include: * A cover letter describing your skills and interests.

Questions? Check out our FAQ , and if you have a question not addressed there, email Rebecca Tabasky at rtabasky at cyber.law.harvard.edu . ---- *Select Expected Summer 2014 Opportunities: * /Chilling Effects/ Summer interns working for Chilling Effects will work on a range of assignments, including: writing blog posts, updating news and research resources for on-site publication; helping with managing and curating the database, including coding metadata and working with source partners to facilitate the ingestion and processing of notices; working on domestic and international collaboration initiatives; event planning and management; and working on research and writing projects centered on the database corpus, either internally or in collaboration with external researchers. Applicants with coding skills in Ruby and Postgres will have opportunities to work with the new Chilling Effects site. More information about Chilling Effects is at http://www.chillingeffects.org/. /CopyrightX/ CopyrightX is a networked course---not a true MOOC---that the Berkman Center has helped to produce during each of the past two years. The course, offered under the auspices of Harvard Law School, HarvardX < http://harvardx.harvard.edu>, and Berkman, explores the current law of copyright and the ongoing debates concerning how that law should be reformed. Through a combination of pre-recorded lectures, weekly seminars, live webcasts, and online discussions, participants in the course examine and assess the ways in which law seeks to stimulate and regulate creative expression. Many activities fall under the umbrella of "producing" CopyrightX, including refining the pedagogical model, analyzing course data, vetting and choosing the technology that supports the course (which extends to improving existing tools and creating new ones), and generally ensuring that the course team is up to date on the latest currents in digital learning, blended learning, and online higher education. Law students strongly interested in copyright law and/or pedagogy, who are also excited about delving into the mixed suite of activities mentioned above, are highly encouraged to apply. Several other kinds of talents and interests would be a good fits, too, including education research skills and web development (with an interest in or openness to edu-tech). Find more at http://copyx.org. /Cyberlaw Clinic/ The Cyberlaw Clinic provides high-quality, pro-bono legal services to individuals, start-ups, non-profit organizations, and government entities. Every summer, clinic interns contribute to a wide range of real-world projects related to the Internet and technology. Interns may help the Clinic team provide guidance on open access, digital copyright, and fair use issues; support advocacy efforts to protect online speech and anonymity; develop legal resources for citizen journalists and new media organizations; advise courts on innovative uses of technology to increase citizens' access to justice; or draft reference documents and training materials for educators on children's privacy and online safety. Interns in the Cyberlaw Clinic can expect direct hands-on experience working with clients under the supervision of the Clinic's staff attorneys. More information about the Cyberlaw Clinic can be found athttp:// cyberlawclinic.berkman.harvard.edu. /Digital Media and Communications Squad/ The intern with Berkman's digital media and communications squad will have a chance to use a number of video and audio production resources to tell the world about the amazing Internet research and action coming out of Berkman. This intern will be chiefly responsible for helping to create the Radio Berkman audio podcast , but will also play a role in producing video (like these < http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL68azUN8PTNhRvFhAVoboM1NY8_AiKUj4>). On any given day you could be interviewing a senior Berkman researcher or guest , helping to produce a dynamic video explainer on Internet censorship < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwn4fRpIr8g&list=PL68azUN8PTNhRvFhAVoboM1NY8_AiKUj4&index=5>, or digging up astonished cat GIFs to accompany a blog post about the latest NSA-leak revelations. This intern should have: (1) experience with audio editing software (Logic, Soundtrack, Audacity, Soundbooth, or other); (2) excellent writing skills; and (3) enthusiasm and an open mind for creating and executing fun ideas. Useful but not mandatory: experience in video production/editing, Photoshop/Illustrator, animation, social media management, Wordpress/Drupal platforms. /Digital Media Law Project/ Summer interns at the Digital Media Law Project will work on a wide range of legal research and writing projects relating to media law, intellectual property, and the intersection of journalism and the internet. In past years, interns have updated theLegal Guide < http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide>to media law topics, developed entries for thedatabase of threats against online publishers, commented on current issues in law and media on theblog < http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog>, and provided research and drafting assistance onamicus briefs < http://www.citmedialaw.org/about/cmlp-amicus-efforts>. Interns may also be asked to assist with the operation and expansion of theOnline Media Legal Network , an attorney referral service for digital publishers, and with other projects that the DMLP undertakes in conjunction with its partner organizations around the world. More information on can be found on the DMLP website at http://www.dmlp.org/about/summer-internships. /Digital Problem-Solving Initiative/ The Digital Problem-Solving Initiative < http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/dpsi>(DPSI) is a University-wide, highly-collaborative project that begun as a pilot in Spring 2013 to offer Harvard students the opportunity to strengthen their digital competencies by learning and working in small interdisciplinary teams of faculty, staff members, and students from across the University on practicable use cases of digital problem solving. The DPSI pilot has prototyped an open and collaborative model in which students work with mentors at the University, engage with real use cases in a range of areas, generate tangible and useful outputs, and inform the development of DPSI overall. Past use cases have concerned diverse topics like innovation spaces, museums/technology-enhanced curatorial practices, big data, institutional uses of social media, and online organizational identity-building. (See an example of innovation spaces here < http://dpsipilot.tumblr.com/day/2014/01/6/>). DPSI interns will support the Berkman team in assessing the 13-14 DPSI pilot and planning for the program's future expansion. Work may include outreach across the University and schools, interaction with faculty, staff, and students, event planning, report writing, and general creative thinking and brainstorming. Compelling candidates could be interested in and/or excited about any of the topics mentioned above, as well as innovation at universities and within education, design, student entrepreneurship, team building and collaboration, interdisciplinarity and technology. Most importantly, candidates should be creative, independent thinkers, strong communicators, and team players. For more information, visit http://dpsipilot.tumblr.com/. /Freedom of Expression/ The Berkman Center's suite of freedom of expression-related projects, including Internet Monitor, Herdict, and others, is seeking a small team of interns to conduct research on Internet filtering, monitoring, and control efforts around the globe; engage in related data gathering efforts using online sources; contribute to report writing; blog regularly about issues concerning online freedom of expression; and manage various projects' Twitter and Facebook accounts. In the past, interns have also supported research on blogospheres and other online communities around the world, contributed to literature reviews, and hand coded online content. Foreign language skills, particularly in Persian, Arabic, Russian, and Chinese, are useful. More information about some of Berkman's work on freedom of expression can be found at the following links: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/internetmonitor; http://www.herdict.org/web/. /Geek Cave/ Interns joining the Geek Cave may extend open source software, build scalable websites, or manage the mixed desktop network that keeps the Center moving. Our team works with ruby, perl, php, bash, jQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL and a slew of other tools. We have a small group of talented, devoted, fun, full-time developers on staff that can help hone your 1337 coding skillz as well provide fun projects to pair code or geek out on; two project managers to help you keep your work on track; and hardware and software support to help deploy your projects on Berkman infrastructure. More info about the projects that we work on can be found on our github organization page athttp://github.com/berkmancenter. /Internet Governance/ The Berkman Center seeks a team of interns to do research and planning around multistakeholder models for Internet governance and recent related events on the global landscape < http://blog.icann.org/2013/11/icanns-mandate-to-preserve-and-enhance-multistakeholder-internet-cooperation/>. On the heels of the announcement from Brazilian President Dilma Roussef and ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) of a high-level commission charged with investigating different modes of Internet governance < https://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-17nov13-en.htm>as well as a large conference to take place in S?o Paolo, Brazil, in April < http://rt.com/news/brazil-internet-summit-fight-nsa-006/>to explore different findings, Berkman --- in collaboration with its international partners --- plans to contribute to the academic debate with literature reviews, briefing documents, expert opinions, and workshops. Internet governance interns will work closely with Professor Urs Gasser and Research Director Rob Faris and should be adept researchers and communicators interested in international relations and Internet policy. For more information on the unfolding debate around Internet governance, see "The Internet Governance Project," articles in CircleID < http://www.circleid.com/posts/20131220_the_panel_on_the_future_of_global_internet_cooperation/>, and 1net.org , the public-facing website and discussion forum for the panel on the future of Internet governance. /Internet Robustness - Software Development/ The intern for the Internet Robustness project will work to extend open source development for software that makes (you guessed it) the Internet more robust and resilient to attacks and disappearing content. Our Robustness software is written in Lua, with a little bit of php and C, but we're interested in anyone who wants to help code our way to a better Web. The Internet Robustness software development intern will also work closely with theBerkman Center's Geek Cave and have opportunities for paired development on other spiffy projects. Read more about the project at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/internetrobustness. /Harvard Open Access Project (HOAP)/ HOAP fosters open access (OA) to research within Harvard and beyond, undertakes research on OA, and provides OA to timely and accurate information about OA itself. HOAP interns may enlarge the Open Access Directory (OAD), a wiki-based encyclopedia of OA, help with ongoing OA research projects, or contribute to the Open Access Tracking Project (OATP), a social-tagging project organizing knowledge about OA. They might also help document and promote TagTeam, a HOAP-directed open-source tagging platform built at Berkman to support OATP. More information about HOAP can be found at:http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/hoap/Main_Page. /Media Cloud - Research and Technical Development/ Media Cloud , a joint project of the Berkman Center and theMIT Center for Civic Media , seeks summer interns to contribute to our team's effort to build new tools and methods that allow us to study and better analyze the shape and dynamics of thenetworked public sphere < http://www.benkler.org/Benkler_Wealth_Of_Networks_Chapter_7.pdf>.Research interns with Media Cloud will contribute to the research, data collection, and synthesis of case studies developed as part of the Controversy Mapping tool, which allows researchers to use the Media Cloud platform's data collection and network visualization tools to map the evolution of a particular public affair, debate, or policy conversation (such as controversies related to theSOPA/PIPA < http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/publications/2013/social_mobilization_and_the_networked_public_sphere>debate,Trayvon Martin , NSA, and more).Technical development interns with Media Cloud will help to extend and improve the project's features. We are looking for developers interested in online media research, big data, and natural language processing. More information about Media Cloud is available at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/mediacloudand you can see the project in action athttp://www.mediacloud.org. /metaLAB/ metaLAB is a research and teaching unit dedicated to exploring and expanding the frontiers of networked culture in the arts and humanities. In summer 2014, an intern will help us to produce a workshop in digital art history involving scholars, developers, and designers from across the country, which takes place at the end of June. In the balance of the summer, the intern's time will be split between Teaching with Things, an initiative to explore the use of multimedia to document, annotate, and remix objects in Harvard's libraries and museums for teaching; and a project documenting urban ecology. These projects will call upon writing, media, and design skills, and will furnish opportunities for learning across such varied domains as ethnography, editing, and software development. Some time will be spent outdoors in summer weather, likely in forested urban settings. More about metaLAB is available at http://metalab.harvard.edu/. /Online Intermediaries/// The Berkman Center, in conjunction with the Network of Interdisciplinary Research Centers for Internet & Society < http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/network_of_centers>, is taking the lead on a multi-year research project intended to produce several policy-oriented studies of online intermediaries in a range of international contexts. The overarching focus will be areas of convergence and disagreement regarding the liability and responsibility of online intermediaries, and the ways in which the liability to which they are subject influences their ultimate success or failure. Summer interns working on this effort may be asked to help curate and expand a shared repository of materials for the projects research groups, research and edit country case studies and use cases, create a synthesizing white paper, and coordinate efforts with partners and colleagues. /Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data/ The Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data project is a collaboration between three Harvard institutions - the Center for Research on Computation & Society (CRCS) at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) , and the Berkman Center. The project seeks to develop computational and legal methods, tools, and policies to further the tremendous value that can come from collecting, analyzing, and sharing data while more fully protecting the privacy of individuals whose information resides within large data sets. The Berkman Center's role in this collaboration is to identify shortcomings in legislation and policy, and to create legal instruments that complement the new technical approaches to privacy being developed by our collaborators in the project. The Berkman team is looking for rising second and third-year law students to help with research and analysis on privacy law and policy issues. Summer interns may conduct research and write memoranda on selected topics in law, draft data sharing agreements, aid in the development of new conceptual models for privacy legislation, summarize recent publications in professional journals, and attend lectures and events with the larger project team. Other opportunities to participate in project activities may arise during the summer. More information about the project can be found on the Privacy Tools project website at http://privacytools.seas.harvard.edu/. /Student Privacy Initiative/ The Berkman Center's Student Privacy Initiative explores the opportunities and challenges that may arise as educational institutions consider adopting cloud computing technologies. As we conduct our research, we are engaging multiple stakeholders-- from district officials to policymakers to industry members to teachers, parents, and students--to develop shared good practices that promote positive educational outcomes, harness technological and pedagogical innovations, and protect critical values. Summer interns will be asked to work across three overlapping clusters: Privacy Expectations & Attitudes, School Practices & Policies, and Law & Policy, interfacing internally with the Cyberlaw Clinic as well as the Youth and Media Project. In addition to ongoing research tasks, summer interns might help to draft research briefs, white papers, and website updates, as well as to coordinate with and engage external organizations working in the K-12 edtech innovation space. More information is available at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/studentprivacy. /Youth and Media/ During a summer at Youth and Media , summer interns will contribute to various research, advocacy, and development initiatives around youth and technology. By understanding young people's interactions with digital media such as the Internet, cell phones, and video games, this highly collaborative project aims to gain detailed insights into youth practices and digital fluencies, harness the associated opportunities, address challenges, and ultimately shape the evolving regulatory and educational framework in a way that advances the public interest. For 2014, we are looking for candidates with strong academic training and experience in qualitative research methods to assist with designing, conducting, and analyzing focus group and one-on-one interviews around topics of privacy, information quality and health information, youth use of the Internet in developing countries, and new ways of learning. We would also consider candidates with expertise in these areas to conduct background research and write literature reviews. Additionally, we are looking for summer interns who can help us create interesting and innovative ways to help conceptualize some of the data we have collected for our current research project aroundyouth and privacy < http://youthandmedia.org/youth-and-online-privacy/>. An example of a previous report (and accompanyinginfographic < http://youthandmedia.org/files/2012/02/YaM-From-Credibility-to-Information-Quality_Info-Graphic_02202012_FINAL1.jpg>) on information quality can be foundhere < http://youthandmedia.org/projects/information-quality/>. Applicant must be professional, proactive, and have strong graphic design skills; please be prepared to submit a sample of your portfolio. More information about Youth and Media can be found at: www.youthandmedia.org < http://www.youthandmedia.org/>. See what past Youth and Media interns said about their time at Berkman here < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT9RcdbDaCs&list=PL823EFB31F6790E2C&index=6>. /Special Projects - Jonathan Zittrain/ Summer interns will work on a variety of projects undertaken by Professor Jonathan Zittrain, assisting in a variety of research areas (e.g. human computing, linkrot and internet robustness, platforms, and Internet filtering). Summer contributions include research for conferences and presentations; brainstorming article outlines; fact-checking materials; and reviewing original article or paper drafts. This position requires the ability to find, absorb, critically analyze, and debate large amounts of written and other media materials from sources including scholarly articles, news articles and blogs, and interviews with public policymakers. This intern position is ideally suited for students or others who would like to get a deeper understanding of academic research and the broader world of Internet law.
