Fwd: Surveillance Pandemic, a conversation with Naomi Klein and Edward Snowden hosted by Mijente
by Ishtiaque Ahmed 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

FYI Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Andrew Clement <andrew.clement(a)utoronto.ca> Date: Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 6:08 PM Subject: Surveillance Pandemic, a conversation with Naomi Klein and Edward Snowden hosted by Mijente To: Social Responsibility of Computing < social-responsibility-of-computing(a)googlegroups.com> In the spirit of the workshop discussion, and in particular the "De-fund big (giant?) tech / Re-fund community" theme, this panel next Tuesday, June 23, at 3 p.m. Pacific / 6 p.m. Eastern looks interesting. It features Jacinta Gonzales*,* of the Latinx justice advocacy group Mijente in conversation with Naomi Klein and Edward Snowden. We are mobilizing during a powerful moment in movement history. A pandemic is raging while Black and brown communities disproportionately bear the worst of its health and economic impacts. Black Lives Matter protests have taken place globally, demanding justice for the victims of police violence and calling for police to be defunded. In the background, the surveillance state is capitalizing on these crises to expand its powers. Tech companies have received millions to track and analyze outbreaks — with few if any privacy protections. Customs and Border Protection has flown surveillance drones to monitor Minneapolis protesters marching against the police killing of George Floyd. These technologies and so many more have been especially developed by tech companies for law enforcement use. Our communities have felt the devastating impacts of these technologies and we have questions. Join us on *Tuesday, June 23rd at 6PM EST/3PM PST* for our event, Surveillance Pandemic, a conversation with Naomi Klein and Edward Snowden hosted by Mijente. Spanish translation will be available for this event. It’s time to center communities most impacted by the surveillance state and discuss tech company and government partnerships as well as the different technologies being used right now in the United States — against Black Lives Matters protesters, undocumented immigrants, and all of us. These technologies threaten not just our civil liberties, but our lives. Register for the event here. <https://click.everyaction.com/k/17897906/210248533/1329257602?nvep=ew0KICAi…> In solidarity, Mijente Nos estamos movilizando durante un momento poderoso en la historia del movimiento. Una pandemia está sucediendo, mientras que las comunidades negras y marrones sufren desproporcionadamente los peores impactos de salud y economía. Las protestas de Black Lives Matter se han globalizado, exigiendo justicia para las víctimas de la violencia policial y pidiendo el desembolso de la policía. En el fondo, el estado de vigilancia está aprovechando estas crisis para expandir sus poderes. Las compañías tecnológicas han recibido millones para rastrear y analizar pandemias, con poca protección de privacidad. El Servicio de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) ha volado drones de vigilancia para monitorear a los manifestantes de Minneapolis que marchan contra el asesinato policial de George Floyd. Estas tecnologías y muchas más han sido desarrolladas especialmente por empresas tecnológicas para uso policial. Nuestras comunidades han sentido los efectos terribles de estas tecnologías y tenemos preguntas. Únase con nosotros *el martes 23 de junio a las 3 p.m. PST* para nuestro evento, Surveillance Pandemic, una conversación con Naomi Klein y Edward Snowden organizada por Mijente. La traducción al español estará disponible para este evento. Es hora de centrar a las comunidades más afectadas por el estado de vigilancia para discutir las alianzas entre las compañías tecnológicas y el gobierno tanto como las diferentes tecnologías que se utilizan en este momento en los Estados Unidos -- contra los manifestantes de Black Lives Matters, los inmigrantes indocumentados, y todos nosotros. Estas tecnologías amenazan no solo nuestras libertades civiles, sino nuestras vidas. Regístrese para el evento aquí. <https://click.everyaction.com/k/17897907/210248534/1329257602?nvep=ew0KICAi…> En solidaridad, Mijente -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Social Responsibility of Computing" group.

Related Work(shop): Research-focused HCI Meeting – June 16
by Blaine Lewis 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

Hi Everyone! Continuing the trend of looking at writing we'll be doing an interactive workshop on related work next Tuesday. We'll go over a few different styles of related work, the purpose of writing related work, and some of the newer trends like a combined background + related work section. This is a huge topic, and I'm not necessarily an expert at any of this so I was hoping this workshop would be a bit more interactive and we could learn from one another. To help it be interactive I'd like everybody to try to bring: - *TODO: *A short writeup of their current related work process in this document (shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes): - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1el-wyns-yuj7dejBc-iSoevBm6LRumzBNJ8lRi1… - The idea is to analyse your own process so we can start to think of places we might need help. Zoom Link: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 Thank you! See you all next week, Blaine

The challenge is an open call for breakthrough ideas that harness the power of data science to help people and communities thrive especially in the wake of COVID-19’s economic impact. Up to ten winners will be awarded with data science talent, software, training, and funding from USD $10K up to $10M in a mix of grant-funding, technical support & consulting, media production, marketing and promotional outreach, and software & infrastructure. Phase 1 applications are being accepted until *July 17th*. The Challenge seeks scalable and sustainable data science solutions for address societal issues, advance shared prosperity and help ensure an inclusive recovery. Proposals should concentrate on three themes below: - J*obs of Tomorrow*: How can we use data science to help workers remain secure in precarious times? Can data insights predict trends in the labor market and connect and prepare workers for the jobs of tomorrow? - *Access to Capital*: How can data science enable microentrepreneurs to gain access to capital? How can data science help us identify micro and small businesses with the potential to grow? How can data insights rethink creditworthiness and unlock capital for high potential business owners? - *Cities and Towns*: As public and private sector investments flow into cities and towns to stimulate the economy, how can leaders use data-driven insights to make the right decisions to ensure economic security in underserved communities? How can data and analytics help connect neighborhoods to the resources and networks they need to access opportunity, including quality education, affordable housing and childcare, decent jobs, and transportation? While the sponsor is particularly interested in the areas above, they welcome other proposals for using data science to advance shared prosperity and help ensure an inclusive recovery. *Sponsor webinars: * The sponsor will be running a series of informational webinars regarding this challenge in the coming weeks: Session 1: Week of June 8, 2020, Session 2: Week of June 22, 2020, Session 3: Week of July 6, 2020.
