CIRN Prato Community Informatics Conference

Yes, we are now live! For researchers, including research students in the word of communities, practitioners and activists, in the world of technology and people, here's an opportunity to take part in a great international virtual conference, across time zones organised, (for the 19th time), by us at Monash in the Digital Equity and Digital Transformation (DEDT) group, in conjunction with colleagues at Simmons University. Please submit an expression of interest by June 30th.

The theme of the 2021 conference, “Communities, Technology and this moment” aims to bring together the rich knowledge, experience, and practice of Community Informatics, Community Archives, and Development Informatics with a focus on data justice, digital equity, and community informatics response to this moment in history. We are also interested in climate and environment and their interaction with people and ICTs. The 2021 CIRN conference will provide a virtual space to explore how researchers and practitioners ethically collect information, including what happens when community information is intentionally left uncollected, and how information systems can be designed in harmony with communities.
