<div>Perhaps I need to be very clear. In advocating for the inclusion of women in conference programs I am not suggesting - for even a second - that they be white women. </div>

<p>I'm all for opening up discussion, the conference features people of colour as keynotes - certainly reflecting on inequities doesn't preclude ethnicity and nationality?

<div>
<div>Thanks CSAA list for what looks like it could be an excellent event. </div>
<div>However, and with no disrespect towards the listed speakers who are individually highly accomplished, I want to raise the issue of using this list to promote events that feature male-only keynotes or invited speakers.</div>
<div>I really feel its important we take a stand on the perpetuation of inequities in conference programming. It is especially disturbing to see a conference that explicitly advocates reflection on the reproduction of power structures in digital environments
fail to address this in their own conference design.</div>
<div>Is it possible to open up a discussion on this?</div>
<div>Cheers</div>

7-9 December 2017<br>

<br>
Digital communication, despite its apparent immateriality, remains dependent on infrastructure placed somewhere. This workshop focuses on the intersection of urban situatedness and geo-location in order to examine the spatial relations that digital infrastructures
either make part of or generate, especially in Asia. The internet features a layered design, including undersea cables, Cloud architecture, platforms, and apps. In what ways does this design reproduce or undo borders and territories? Relinquishing assumptions
of a singular global regime of cybernetic power, how does the internet as stack transform the governance of populations, now addressed as “users,” and what contradictions emerge in this process? Moreover, considering that different bodies relate to digital
infrastructure differently, how do users negotiate and exploit the modes of power afforded by digital infrastructure? How do these processes amount to either the reproduction of dominant formations of citizenship or alternative identifications and subjectivities,
for instance for migrants or “uncivil” users?<br>
<br>
We welcome critical scholarship and non-traditional inquiries that help us reflect on digital infrastructures and practices in relation to the production of space and the particularities of place and context in Asia and beyond.<br>
