Subject: CFP: Handbook of Critical Data Studies
Please consider contributing to our Handbook of Critical Data
Studies <https://critical-data-handbook.info/>, to be published by De
Gruyter in 2026. This volume will present a comprehensive review of the
current state of critical data studies, a field that looks at data as a
site of contested meanings and politics. With your help, we aim to bring
together a truly global and interdisciplinary set of perspectives from
fields including sociology, science and technology studies, information
science, human computer interaction, media studies, postcolonial
studies, digital humanities, and beyond. The goal is to center the
perspectives of critical and marginalized voices, ensuring that issues
like race, gender, class and the environment reverberate across the
entire handbook.
We invite you to submit a 500-700 word abstract proposal of your chapter
by Dec 31, 2023. Possible topics include:
* Grounding concepts in critical data studies.
* Methodologies: what is ‘critical’ about critical data studies?
* Critical political economy of data: theories of extraction,
production and prediction.
* Case studies: looking at specific sectors, locations and examples
from daily life.
* A critical approach to laws, policies and regulations concerning
data.
* How to frame resistance from a critical data studies perspective.
For more details, see https://critical-data-handbook.info/.

Subject: CFP: Practicing Digital Ethnography, edited book
Please see the Call for Submissions below for a book I am editing, under
contract with Routledge. The call is specifically for short case studies of
research that involves digital ethnographic methods. It's shaping up to be
a great volume, so if you've got recent research that fits, I hope you
submit it!

Call for short chapters: edited book, Practicing Digital Ethnography
Routledge invites submissions of short chapters for an edited
volume, Practicing Digital Ethnography.
Are you engaged in—or have you recently undertaken—ethnographic fieldwork
that intersects with digital technologies? Are you using digital
technologies to present your work in a novel way? If so, please consider
submitting a fieldwork reflection to the upcoming edited volume, Practicing
Digital Ethnography, under contract with Routledge. We are looking for
interdisciplinary case studies, anecdotes, and methodological interventions
drawn from current research in the realm of digital ethnography.
About the Book
Practicing Digital Ethnography seeks to introduce undergraduate students
(and the general public) to the practices, theories, and complications of
ethnographic fieldwork in the contemporary digital landscape. The book will
be based in rigorous theory and method but written in approachable
language. In addition to its main chapters—authored by a mixture of
established and junior scholars—this volume will include short, 2,000 word
“Case Studies” to provide examples in a real-world fieldwork setting.
Because the volume should reflect digital research in a global sense,
scholars and work representing marginalized cultural or geographic groups
are especially encouraged to contribute. And because these case studies
should reflect contemporary innovative research, we also particularly
invite graduate students engaged in research and early career academics, as
well as digital practitioners from outside the academy, to submit abstracts.
These can include ethnographic fieldwork of many types:
- “offline” cultural use of Internet technologies;
- “online” meaning-making in digital spaces;
- ethnography within virtual worlds;
- the effects of wearable digital technologies;
- ethical conundrums faced researching the digital;
- studies using big data to analyze cultural practices;
- studies analyzing linguistic and semiotic patterns of Internet use;
- research engaging with multiple intersecting digital platforms;
- research with/about AI and/or algorithmic logics;
- work using GIS technologies to track social practices;
- ethnographic video games and/or interactive narratives;
- ethnographic work as/on digital art or installations;
- any of the multitude of other ways the ethnographic and digital can
inform each other.
Submission Procedures:
1. From now until November 1, 2023—Please send a short abstract
(100-200 words) describing the fieldwork, along with a few sentences of
author(s) bio information with the subject line “Case Study
Submission” to dproctor2@elon.edu.
2. November 15, 2023—Authors will be notified about the status of
their proposals.
3. April 1, 2024—Full case-studies (2,000 words) are expected to be
submitted.
Please direct submissions, and any questions, to the volume’s editor, Dr.
Devin Proctor, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Department of Sociology
& Anthropology, Elon University, at dproctor2@elon.edu.
