[Commlist] Postgrad winter school on digital citizenship and justice

Thu Jan 27 19:11:40 GMT 2022




Registration is now open to the Postgrad Winter School, which is open to Masters, PhD and early career researchers. We have a range of events spread over the entire week, and welcome attendees to all or just selected events. Talks are open to all but workshops/ masterclass are kept intentionally small, and places are limited.

Further info and registration details are here https://digitalpoliticsmanmet.bloggi.co/event-digital-politics-winter-school-is-coming <https://digitalpoliticsmanmet.bloggi.co/event-digital-politics-winter-school-is-coming>

*Digital Citizenship and its limits*

This Winter School makes a series of critical interventions into the field of digital citizenship, in both so-called democratic and so-called authoritarian states. The School will focus particularly on how the interactions between individuals or communities and the state, in areas such as public services, welfare, border control, and policing, are mediated by digital platforms, on-line communication, algorithms and the AI. Participants will explore the following questions: What are the injustices involved in being a subject of a digital state? What is the human cost of e-governance, digital border control, high tech policing, or on-line surveillance? What are the results of digital non-freedoms - distress, despair, loss of income, poverty, starvation, imprisonment, death? Who are the captive subjects and dependant victims of state digitisation? And finally, what are the possibilities to rethink, challenge, survive and resist the violence of digital citizenship?

The School is orgnaised by our Digital Politics researchers cluster and generously supported by the Faculy Digital Society Research Group (DISC@ManMet) at the Faculy of Arts and Humanities, Manchester Metropolitan University, as part of the D*igital Society @ Manchester 2022* events.
