[change] [ICTD X] Call for Open Sessions, Doctoral Consortium, Demos, & Pre-Published Papers
ICTD 2019 Jan 4-7, Ahmedabad, India ***Call for Participation*** Open Sessions, Doctoral Consortium, Demos, & Pre-Published Papers The international conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) is organized every 12-18 months, and brings together researchers and practitioners working across domains, sectors, and disciplines to study the role of ICT in social, political, and economic development. First organized at the University of California Berkeley, USA, in 2006, the tenth ICTD is scheduled to be held at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, India, from January 4th to 7th, 2019. At the tenth ICTD, or ICTD X at IIM Ahmedabad, the conference’s focus is on growing our community to welcome researchers from related disciplines and practitioners, and supporting young researchers of ICTD as they pursue their research trajectories. Join us via any of the following tracks below: OPEN SESSIONS Open Sessions will welcome a variety of submissions and formats. Submissions can include proposals for events such as panels, workshops, design jams, and more, ideally fostering dialog and participation from researchers and practitioners. The call for participation is here: http://ictdx.org/open-sessions/ DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM We invite Ph.D. students to present their research before fellow doctoral students and experts, with the hope that this will support exchange of ideas, solicit constructive feedback from experts, develop mentor-mentee relationships, and expand collaborative research networks. The DC is an excellent opportunity for young scholars to learn about the richly diverse ICTD community as they develop their dissertation research. The call is here: http://ictdx.org/doctoral-consortium/ DEMOS We invite participants to present ongoing projects, including researchers with significant field components, practitioners seeking community feedback, or developers with early stage prototypes. Demos should offer insights to real-world problems and/or solutions, and can include hardware, software, or physical artifacts. The call for participation is here: http://ictdx.org/demos/ PRE-PUBLISHED PAPERS We invite papers accepted for publication at other venues over the preceding year and a half (from Jan. 1, 2017 through July 15, 2018), so that ICTD attendees can benefit from conversations happening outside the conference. Inclusion of these papers into the conference program will depend on relevance to the program and availability of slots. Accepted papers will be invited for an oral presentation. The call for participation is here: http://ictdx.org/participate/ DATES Sep. 1, 2018: Deadline for Open Sessions, Doctoral Consortium, Pre-Published Papers Sep 21, 2018: Deadline for Demos Oct. 8, 2018: All notifications sent Jan. 4-7, 2019: See you in Ahmedabad, India!

[change] CSE 590F: Computing and the Developing World
Hi all, CSE 590F meets on Tuesdays at 1:30 in Gates 387. This quarter will focus on a selection of papers related to ICTD (Information Communication Technology and Development). We will start with an organizational meeting tomorrow (Oct 1). We'll decide on a theme for weekly readings---they could be classic/foundational ICTD papers, new ICTD papers at recent conferences, or other suggestions as well. If you're interested in this area and want an overview of the current research, please consider registering!

[change] CSCW 21 workshop on citational justice
Hi all, I wanted to share about our workshop at ACM CSCW 2021 <https://cscw.acm.org/2021/> that may be of interest to Change folks, titled *“Following the Trail of Citational Justice”*. In this one-day workshop, we will critically reflect on our citational practices within HCI and related communities, which voices they recognize (or not), and what systems and infrastructures shape our practices. We will also explore how we can be more citationally just and imagine ways to transform current infrastructures to support more just practices. The *deadline has been extended to Sept 30th* and submission formats are flexible. Please do consider participating: https://sites.google.com/view/workshop-cscw-2021 On behalf of our wonderful team of organizers: Gabriela Molina León, Lynn Kirabo, Marisol Wong-Villacrés, Neha Kumar, Nicola Bidwell, Pedro Reynolds-Cuéllar, Pranjal Protim Borah, Radhika Garg, Sushil Oswal, Vishal Sharma, Tee Chuanromanee Thanks, Naveena Karusala ___ change mailing list change@change.washington.edu https://changemm.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/change

The first segment is recorded and it starts with a dialogue between an organizer and one or more expert guests. This dialogue is followed by questions from the audience. The second segment is not recorded – during these 30 minutes the conversation becomes a social event where participants can discuss any topic. ___ change mailing list change@change.washington.edu https://changemm.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/change
