Along with the Media Innovation Lab (MiLab), we’re excited to announce our
inaugural Doctoral Workshop, to be held April 6th to April 8th at Princeton.
Participating doctoral students will be selected through a
competitive review process and will receive support for travel and lodging up
to $500 per attendee. Students are encouraged to submit dissertation-relevant
work; abstracts and shorter proposals will not be accepted.
Research topics should focus on the interplay between
information and communication technologies and the social, political, civic,
and governmental spheres. We welcome applications from doctoral students doing
relevant work in any discipline, including communication studies, computer science,
economics, political science, and sociology. Possible topics include, but are
not limited to, the following: citizen journalism; civic engagement and digital
technology; e-voting security; internet governance; open government data;
privacy technologies for democratic ends; social media and political
expression; and state-sponsored internet freedom programs.
To be considered, please submit your manuscript, along with
your CV and full contact information, to Laura Cummings-Abdo (citp@princeton.edu)
and Meike Muller (meike.mueller@univie.ac.at)
no later than February 1, 2015.
For more information, please see this call.
