[Commlist] CfA: Emerging Research on Datafied Living

---- CfA: Emerging Research on Datafied Living
Conference call for abstracts
We welcome contributions to the Emerging Research on Datafied Living 
conference organized by the Datafied Living Project and hosted by the 
Center for Tracking & Society, University of Copenhagen, on 27-28 August 
2025. Datafied Living addresses how digital tracking, carried out by 
oneself or other actors across personal, work, and institutional 
contexts, might contribute to human flourishing.
Aligned with the organizing project's goals, the conference will explore 
the complex intersections of datafication, technology, and everyday 
life. It aims to examine how data permeates and structures human 
activity, from work and leisure to health and intimacy. It will 
facilitate conversations between established and emerging methodologies 
for studying experiences of and infrastructures for datafication.
The first day of the conference aims to foster interdisciplinary 
dialogue and bring together emerging and established scholars. The 
program will include interactive sessions, network-building 
opportunities, mentoring, and panel discussions. Confirmed discussants 
include Sun Sun Lim (Singapore Management University), Juliane Jarke 
(University of Graz), Anne Kaun (Södertorn University), Thomas Poell 
(University of Amsterdam), Minna Ruckenstein (University of Helsinki), 
and Taina Bucher (University of Oslo).
We particularly encourage and prioritize applications from early-career 
scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD candidates. You are not 
required to submit a full paper for this conference.
