***Please forgive cross-posting!***

In addition to posting the 2^nd CfP for ASIS&T SIG-IFP/SIG-III workshop;
I want to announce three scholarship opportunities.

*We are pleased to offer 2 workshop fee waivers to current students
working in the areas of information policy, information ethics, legal
issues of information, surveillance studies etc. *

**

*We will also offer 1 workshop fee waiver to a professional in the
field. This individual should be working outside of the university.*

These awards will be based on reviews of submitted extended abstracts or
position papers by the workshop planning committee: due September 1.

*ASIS&T SIG-IFP / SIG-III joint sponsored workshop:*

*"Trust in the Age of Data (big or small)"*

https://www.asis.org/asist2014/seminars_workshops_Information_Policy.html

*Date: October 31, 2014 (Friday)*

*Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm*

*Location: Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA, USA*

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

We plan this workshop as an interactive event focused around the
scholarship of trust. This is an opportunity for scholars to fine-tune
position papers and works-in-progress as they are informed via the
workshop discussions and activities, and brainstorm about methodological
approaches to studying trust in the context of government and corporate
use of big data, emerging technologies, and globalized infrastructures.
Participants who do not present a work-in-progress or position paper,
but are in attendance as a general workshop participant, will have the
opportunity to further develop ideas and interests that are related to
information policy, ethics, and trust.

This workshop will enable participants to engage, challenge, support,
and encourage each other on questions such as: the importance of trust;
theorizing the concept of trust; conceptualizing trust around a set of
relationships; understanding trust in the relationship between citizens
and the state; reconciling trust with NSA (and other agency)
surveillance; trust in international or intra-national state to state
relationships; and trust in other communities, including between and
among dominant and underrepresented groups in society.

We will address questions such as:

●How are researchers conceptualizing trust in the age of data?

●How can scholars investigate infrastructures of trust?

●Are understandings of trust shifting? If so, with what consequences, in
which contexts?

●When is trust justified? When is it not justified? Should
decision-makers focus on and build trustworthiness rather than (mere) trust?

●What are the economic, political and legal implications of trust in the
age of data (big and small)?

●How does policy design build/undermine trust?

●What are the ethics of trust in the age of data?

This workshop aims to bring together scholars from across the
information science fields (LIS, Archives, Museums, HCI, Law, Policy) to
lend their respective lens’s to a critical exploration of trust.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:

All interested researchers, graduate students, and information
professionals are invited to submit a proposal for:

1) works-in-progress research papers,

2) short position statements and/or short information policy/trust
scenarios (e.g., critical reflection on policies already in place or
developing new policy),

3) abstracts describing possible existing or novel methodological
approaches to researching the relationships between data and trust in a
range of contexts.

IMPORTANT DATES:

September 1, 2014: Submission due date for extended abstracts or
position papers
