Rural Computing Workshop Call for Participation
by Dharma Dailey 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Call for Participation for CSCW 2018 Workshop, "Rural Computing: Beyond Access and Infrastructure" Are you interested in computing research in rural areas? Please consider joining us on Sunday, November 4, 2018 for our workshop, “Rural Computing: Beyond Access and Infrastructure” at CSCW 2018 in Jersey City, NJ. There is increasing interest in the fields of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), social computing, and human computer interaction (HCI) in rural areas. In particular, scholars have begun to investigate how to make these sites more central to computing research and design, and not solely as sites with failing or falling behind infrastructure or low technology adoption rates. In this workshop, we will foreground how the study of rural areas and their relationships to technology draw attention to significant topics in CSCW and HCI, including biases inherent in crowd computing platforms, sustainable practices, design, and aging populations. We invite interested participants to submit a 2-4 page position or research paper that addresses the workshop theme (rolling deadline starting September 5). More information, including a full CFP, is available at: www.ruralhci.info <http://www.ruralhci.info/>. Please direct any questions to ruralcomputingworkshop(a)gmail.com.

Fwd: [dub] Virtual intership with the research side of USAID
by Trevor Perrier 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

This could be of interest to members of the Change community. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Katy Pearce <Kepearce(a)uw.edu> Date: Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 11:28 AM Subject: [dub] Virtual intership with the research side of USAID To: Com Grad Students <com_grads(a)u.washington.edu>, Communication Faculty < comfaculty(a)uw.edu>, dub(a)dub.washington.edu Hi all. A friend of mine is a sociologist who is now an in-house researcher at USAID. She is recruiting PhD students (maybe advanced MA students too) with quant skills, data viz skills, and an interest in democracy to do a virtual internship with her and her team. (The posting says SPSS/STATA, but she told me that R/Python are fine too.) I do not know the details as far as limits to citizenship (although I'd guess it is only for US citizens and PRs) or pay, etc. But if you're interested in policy and research, this might be a good opportunity for you. If you want me to put you in touch with Laura before applying, I'm happy to do so. .... Know a Ph.D. student who wants to work with me in a virtual internship this year researching democracy issues for USAID? Project description here: https://vsfs.state.gov/projects/view/1253 Apply by July 31: https://vsfs.state.gov/how-to-apply .... Thanks, Katy _______________________________________________ dub mailing list dub(a)dub.washington.edu http://dubber.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/dub
