CITP/MiLab Spring 2016 Doctoral Workshop

The Center for Information Technology Policy (CITP) at Princeton
University and the Media Innovation Lab (MiLab) at the University of
Vienna are pleased to announce our second annual Doctoral Workshop to be
held April 27th to April 29th at the University of Vienna. The workshop
will be led by Nick Feamster, Professor of Computer Science and Acting
Director of CITP at Princeton University, and Homero Gil de Zúñiga, who
holds the Medienwandel Professorship in the Department of Communication
and leads the MiLab at the University of Vienna.


The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for leading doctoral
students to present their late-stage research to experts in the field,
receive feedback and advice, and gain exposure to related work in other
disciplines. We seek to provide a helpful, interactive experience for
students, to highlight the work of rising stars in this area, and to
foster interdisciplinary collaboration.


Participants will be selected through a competitive review process. We
expect to invite about 8 doctoral students to attend. We will provide
support for travel and lodging up to 500 EUR per attendee. Students are
encouraged to submit dissertation relevant work; abstracts and shorter
proposals will not be accepted.

Research topics should focus on the interplay between information and
communication technologies and the social, political, civic, and
governmental spheres. We welcome applications from doctoral students
doing relevant work in any discipline, including communication studies,
computer science, economics, political science, and sociology. Possible
topics include, but are not limited to, the following:


 Citizen journalism

 Civic engagement and digital technology

 E-voting security

 Internet governance

 Open government data

 Privacy technologies for democratic ends

 Social media and political expression

 State-sponsored internet freedom programs


Submission process: Please submit your manuscript, along with your CV
and full contact information, to


Laura Cummings-Abdo ((citp /at/ princeton.edu) <mailto:(citp /at/ princeton.edu)>) and
Meike Müller ((meike.mueller /at/ univie.ac.at)
<mailto:(meike.mueller /at/ univie.ac.at)>) no later than February 7th, 2016.
