From t.dreher at unsw.edu.au Mon Jul 16 11:27:32 2018 From: t.dreher at unsw.edu.au (Tanja Dreher) Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 01:57:32 +0000 Subject: [csaa-forum] Final call - generous PhD Scholarships on Data Justice with focus on marginalised communities - EOIs close this week Message-ID: UNSW Sydney is offering generously funded 4-year PhD scholarship(s) for interested applicants to work on Data Justice: Technology, policy and community impact. We welcome EOIs from qualified applicants with an interest in researching the social justice implications of datafication, with a focus on marginalised communities. Expressions of Interest are due before 20 July, 2018 at the following link: https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/scientia-phd-scholarships/data-justice-technology-policy-and-community-impact Research theme: Data Justice: Technology, policy and community impact With growing concerns that data mining, ubiquitous surveillance and automated decision making can unfairly disadvantage already marginalised groups, this research aims to identify policy areas where injustices are caused by data- or algorithm-driven decisions, examine the assumptions underlying these technologies, document the lived experiences of those who are affected, and explore innovative ways to prevent such injustices. Innovative qualitative and digital methods will be used to identify connections across community, policy and technology perspectives on ?big data?. The project is expected to deepen social engagement with disadvantaged communities, and strengthen global impact in promoting social justice in a datafied world. Further details on the UNSW Scientia Scholarship scheme are available here: https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/?interest=scholarships https://research.unsw.edu.au/unsw-scientia-phd-scholarship-scheme Prospective applicants should contact Tanja Dreher at t.dreher at unsw.edu.au and / or Heather Ford at heather.ford at unsw.edu.au to discuss their application as soon as possible.

Indeed, many writers on ecology are increasingly arguing that we have to face the fact that the world is, so to speak, ?in the shit?, and that, somehow, we have to learn to live with/in it. Besides attracting considerable media attention, there are questions raised around how performance ? in a broad sense ?might contribute to the discussion and work towards a more promising ecological future. By drawing together scholars and creative practitioners from a variety of fields to focus on the subject of ?performing ecologies?, this interdisciplinary conference thus aims to provoke consideration of the role that performance and creative practice can and does play in our ?learning to live with/in? this ?ecological crisis?. We invite interdisciplinary and discipline ?specific responses to any of the following provocations: ? Ecocritical research of and through performance ? Media framings and performances of ecology, the ?ecological crisis? and climate change (post-truth) ? The performance of ?nature? and particular environments ? Ecomimesis (Timothy Morton, 2007) ? The efficacy of performing ecologies; what performance might ?do? ? The use of the environment in performance ? such as site-specific theatre ? Dark ecology ? Performances of apocalypse / dystopic future ? Affective ecologies ? ?Morality? performances and mediations ? The performance of environmental activism/ protest ? Performances of ecology in/for tourism ? Ecologies in indigenous paradigms ? Performances of the Anthropocene ? The performance of posthumanism and the environment We welcome abstracts for papers, performances, panels or other presentation formats, such as installations. Please submit a 250-300-word abstract of your presentation and a 150-word biography for each presenter by August 3, 2018. Please send us your abstract as a Word document, and use your surname as the document title. Please clearly indicate the title of your presentation, as well as your full name (first name, surname) and institutional affiliation (if relevant). Please send your abstracts or any enquiries to the Theme administrator, Alex, at performance.real at otago.ac.nz. There are a limited number of travel bursaries available for postgrad students. Please contact the theme administrator for details. The Performance of the Real is a University of Otago funded interdisciplinary Research Theme. The project is to investigate what it is about representations and performances of the real that make them particularly compelling and pervasive in our current age. At its core is the study of how performance/performativity, in its many cultural, aesthetic, political and social forms and discourses, represents, critiques, stages, and constructs/reconstructs the real, as well as the ethical, social and form-related issues involved in such acts.

Retrieving a theorisation of status from debates on terminology in media and cultural studies, this talk shows how the term ?status update? points to the importance of platformed status, with wide-ranging implications. For one, status (rank andsituation) makes possible humiliation?perhaps one of the most salient affective structures of our time. A consideration of how humiliation is made possible and given substance by status yields new insight into the involvement of communications platforms in social and cultural practices and their affiliated power dynamics. Via their shared binary logics, condensed in affective forms such as ?Friend or Not?, ?Hot or Not?, ?Replied or Not?, ?Invited or Not? etc., platformed and gender/sexual status work together to intensify power relations, and in so doing, the respective relevance of their own fields of power. Finally, this talk helps account for the voracity of the bifurcatory processes of dis/identification that characterise platformed humiliation. Sarah Cefai is a Lecturer in Communications and Media at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London. Her current work examines the affective formation of humiliation through the example of various media cultural practices and representations. Her research is published in Cultural Studies, the European Journal of Cultural Studies and more. FIND OUT MORE Finding us Robert Webster Building is located mid-way off the UNSW main walkway.
