InfoSocial 2013: Bridging Media, Technology and Social Science

A graduate student conference hosted by the Media, Technology, and
Society (MTS) program at Northwestern University

InfoSocial is a student-run conference dedicated to showcasing
graduate student research that is theoretically engaging,
methodologically sound, and socially relevant. We welcome submissions
that engage multiple ways of thinking as well as a wide range of
methodologies.

Building on the success of the inaugural InfoSocial event held last
year (which received more than one hundred submissions from over fifty
institutions internationally), for this year’s edition we seek papers
authored by graduate students that address relevant topics within and
across disciplines, including contributions from communication and
media studies, sociology, psychology, computer science, science and
technology studies, information science, political science, and
anthropology.

Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

○      Gaming, online communities, and digital cultures

○      Human-computer interaction

○      Inequality, skills, and social capital

○      Information and communication technologies for development

○      News, entertainment, and audiences

○      Online behavior and privacy

○      Organizations, networks, and innovation

○      Social impact, policy, and regulation
