Ciao a tutti
vi segnalo un summer workshop che stiamo organizzando all'Universita' di
Toronto, precisamente al Citizen Lab, un lab interdisciplinare che si
occupa di ricerca su nuove tecnologie e diritti umani (cybersecrity,
internet censorship, surveillance, DDOS, azione collettiva online,
eccetera). Il Connaught Summer Institute on Monitoring Internet Openness
and Rights e' aperto a dottorandi e advanced researchers, e sara' dedicato
principalmente alla discussione di metodi e metodologie dal punto di vista
interdisciplinare. Date da ricordare: il workshop e' a luglio (22-26), la
deadline per le applications e' il 1 giugno.
Per maggiori info:

sotto. Per qualsiasi domanda contattatemi pure. Ciao, Stefania

Connaught Summer Institute on Monitoring Internet Openness and Rights
Call for Applications
The University of Toronto is convening a week-long workshop taking place
on July 22-26, 2013 focused on monitoring Internet openness and rights
from a multidisciplinary perspective.
We would like to invite leading researchers, students, and practitioners
from a wide range of disciplines to discuss research on the study of
information controls, present latest work, facilitate research review and
mentorship, discuss research ethics, and engage in intensive research
methods training.
Information controls can be broadly conceptualized as actions conducted in
and through information and communication technologies (ICTs) that seek to
deny, disrupt, monitor, or manipulate information for political and
economic ends. These controls can be mandated by states or implemented by
private actors. Information controls include a range of technical measures
(e.g. Internet filtering, distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks,
electronic surveillance, targeted malware, etc.) and non-technical means
(e.g. media regulation, licensing regimes, content removal, and broad use
of defamation and slander laws). Over the past decade there has been a
steady increase and spread of information controls across the globe in
both democratic and authoritarian states.
The spread of information controls has a number of potentially negative
impacts for the public interest. Privacy, civil liberties, and freedom of
expression in both cultural and political spheres are often and
increasingly threatened by state and corporate actors that have now
developed potent means of controlling and monitoring digital information
flows.
Information controls (such as censorship and surveillance) are processes
that lack transparency, often taking place beyond the scrutiny of public
debates, and which therefore increases the risk of abuses against civil
and political rights. Hence, there is a pressing need to know more about
how and why information controls take place, so that robust evidence can
be generated, analysed, and inform policy discussions.
Requirements
We encourage submissions on a wide range of relevant topics. Submission
that explore multidisciplinary approaches are especially encouraged.
Possible topics include but are not limited to: Measuring Internet
censorship, detecting surveillance, new tools and research methods,
research ethics, legal and regulatory frameworks, role of private sector
actors in censorship and surveillance, analysis of the social, economic
and political impacts of censorship and surveillance.
Interested participants should send a one page abstract summarizing what
they plan to present at the workshop as well as any relevant experience or
topics of specific interest. The abstract should also indicate the
preferred presentation format for the work (poster, short talk, or
tutorial) and indicate if the person will require travel support to attend
the institute. A limited pool of travel support is available and will be
allocated based on strength of the abstract and demonstrated need.
Please submit abstracts to info at citizenlab.org with the subject "Summer
Institute 2013" by June 1, 2013.
