On behalf of the Local and Program Chairs, and the CATaC Executive
Committee, we are very pleased to pass on to you the Call for Papers
for CATaC (Cultural Attitudes towards Technology and Communication)
2010, “Diffusion 2.0: Computing, mobility, and the next generations”.
Venue: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Dates: 15-18 June 2010
CATaC’10 will feature keynote addresses by Dr Linc Kesler (First
Nations Studies, The University of British Columbia) and Dr John
Willinsky (Stanford University School of Education).
The CATaC conference series provides a premier international forum for
current research on how diverse cultural attitudes shape the
implementation and use of information and communication technologies
(ICTs). The conference series brings together scholars from around the
globe who provide diverse perspectives, both in terms of the specific
culture(s) they highlight in their presentations and discussions, and
in terms of the discipline(s) through which they approach the
conference theme.
Original full papers (especially those which connect theoretical
frameworks with specific examples of cultural values and practices)
and short papers (e.g. describing current research projects and
preliminary results) are invited. Topics of particular interest
include but are not limited to:
- Mobile technologies in developing countries
- New layers of imaging and texting interactions fostering and/or
threatening cultural diversity
- Theoretical and practical approaches to analyzing "culture"
- Impact of mobile technologies on privacy and surveillance
- Gender, sexuality and identity issues in social networks
- Cultural diversity in e-learning and/or m-learning
Both short (3-5 pages) and long (10-15 pages) original papers are
sought.
See “submissions” on the conference website - http://www.catacconference.org
- for information about submitting papers and formatting guidelines.
The conference web site also provides further details regarding
accommodations, submission procedures, etc.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and to welcoming you to
Vancouver in 2010!
