CIS Seminar Series: Information Disorder
http://editors.cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/cis-seminar-series-information-disorder
<b>The Centre for Internet and Society is announcing the launch of a seminar series to showcase research around digital rights and technology policy, with a focus on the Global South.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The CIS seminar series will be a venue for researchers to share works-in-progress, exchange ideas, identify avenues for collaboration, and curate research. We also seek to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on research exchange, and foster collaborations among researchers and academics from diverse geographies. Every quarter we will be hosting a remote seminar with presentations, discussions and debate on a thematic area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Seminar format</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are happy to welcome abstracts for one of two tracks:</p>
<h3>Working paper presentation</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> A working paper presentation would ideally involve a working draft that is presented for about 15 minutes followed by feedback from workshop participants. Abstracts for this track should be 600-800 words in length with clear research questions, methodology, and questions for discussion at the seminar. Ideally, for this track, authors should be able to submit a draft paper two weeks before the conference for circulation to participants.</p>
<h3> Coffee-shop conversations</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In contrast to the formal paper presentation format, the point of the coffee-shop conversations is to enable an informal space for presentation and discussion of ideas. Simply put, it is an opportunity for researchers to “think out loud” and get feedback on future research agendas. Provocations for this should be 100-150 words containing a short description of the idea you want to discuss.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We will try to accommodate as many abstracts as possible given time constraints. We welcome submissions from students and early career researchers, especially those from under-represented communities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>All discussions will be private and conducted under the Chatham House Rule. Drafts will only be circulated among registered participants.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Please send all abstracts to <a href="mailto:workshops@cis-india.org">workshops@cis-india.org</a>.</p>
<h3>Theme for the first seminar (to be held on an online platform)</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first seminar will be centered around the theme of ‘Information Disorder<strong>: <em>Mis-, Dis- and Malinformation</em>.’</strong> While the issue of information disorder, colloquially termed as ‘fake news’, has been in the political forefront for the last five years, the flawed attempts at countering the ‘infodemic’ brought about by the pandemic proves that there still continues to be substantial gaps in the body-of-knowledge on this issue. This includes research that proposes empirical, replicable methods of understanding the types, forms or nature of information disorder or research that attempts to understand regulatory approaches, the layers of production and the roles played by different agents in the spread of ‘fake news’.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Accordingly, we invite submissions that address these gaps in knowledge, including those that examine the relationship between digital technology and information disorder across a spectrum of fields and disciplines. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:</p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Information disorders during COVID-19</li>
<li>Effects of coordinated campaigns on marginalised communities</li>
<li>Journalism, the State, and the trust in media </li>
<li>Platform responsibility in information disorder </li>
<li>Information disorder in international law/constitutional/human rights law</li>
<li>Information disorder as a geopolitical tool</li>
<li>Sociopolitical and cultural factors in user engagement</li></ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Timeline</strong></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Abstract Submission Deadline: August 25th</li>
<li>Results of Abstract review: September 8th</li>
<li>Full submissions (of draft papers): September 30th</li>
<li>Seminar date: Tentatively October 7th</li></ol>

<b>Dr. Anupam Saraph, Professor and Future Designer will give a talk on digital disruption and digital black money on January 30, 2017 at the Centre for Internet & Society (CIS) office in Bangalore.</b>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The digital disruption of payments in the economy is regarded as a magic wand to cure financial exclusion, reduce costs of cash, and end money laundering and black money. At the centre of the digital revolution are new mechanisms to on-board customers, undertake money transfers, alteration of players in the payment ecosystem and a significant change in regulatory oversight. Does this alteration of the financial ecosystem result in serving the unserved and underserved? Does going cashless and holding digital cash end black money, money laundering, and financial exclusion? Or is this actually generating <i>digital</i> black money through digital money laundering and actually causing financial exclusion? Is digital black money even possible? Does the digital money have no colour?</p>
