[Commlist] Postgrad winter school on digital citizenship and justice

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.

*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.
