Call for Papers
I am currently organizing a conference on:
"Dark Sides of Digital Societies"
Date: May 24-26, 2023
Location: Hochschule Fulda, Germany
The aim of the conference is to engage with the topic from different perspectives and disciplines, compare various cases and to start thinking about possible approaches or answers to the dark sides of digital technologies. We are also interested in bringing academics, researchers and diverse practitioners together, so they are all encouraged to participate. The conference is transdisciplinary in scope and we are calling for international contributions that deal with specific dark sides of digital societies. Here we are interested in, for instance, ‘dark platforms’, ‘dark knowledge’ and ‘dark practices’ that emerge from particular digital constellations or particular regional or national dark sides of digital technologies.
Deadline: January 31, 2023
Even though it has been out for a few months, I just received my first physical copy of "The Digital Continent: Placing Africa in Planetary Networks of Work"
The book is open-access through the Oxford University Press website: http://fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/academic/pdf/openaccess/9780198840800.pdf

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.
Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.
Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.
Period.
@erinnacland @academicchatter
relevant literature shows that getting hired at a highly funded, highly prestigious university means you get more money for staff. More staff means you can spend more of your time writing.
Analyses suggest that this is causal: it's not that big name universities hire "the best"--it's that big name universities *create* "the best" by providing them with more research staff so they can get their work done.
Environmental & #climatechange expose conflict-affected populations to further risks.
Our recent article, explores how #environmentalcooperation can facilitate #sustainingpeace.
