Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking is developing a special issue dedicated to current digital dating, romance/sex, and dating apps. This also includes, but is not limited to, pandemic-related impacts (e.g., social distancing due to COVID-19, quarantining) on dating, sex, and romance. Special consideration is given to articles that go beyond documenting a current state of affairs to contribute to the identification and/or development of theories and theoretical perspectives that hold promise to account for romantic and sexual relationships in a rapidly changing digital environment.

We are seeking high-quality original empirical articles and review articles on the following topics (though other topics will be considered):

• Implications of modern dating apps (Tinder, Bumble, Grindr, etc.)

Champions in Higher Education of XR (CHEX) Consortium
Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN)

Calling all leaders and champions of VR/AR/MR (XR) initiatives at universities and colleges

Champions in Higher Education of XR (CHEX) is a new consortium formed under the umbrella of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN at http://immersivelrn.org/) that brings together both administrators as well as faculty/staff grassroots leaders who are championing the adoption and use of XR and immersive technologies at colleges, universities, and college/university systems around the world. Many of these champions have oversight of XR initiatives at a campus, institution, or system-wide level (whether as part of their official job responsibilities or in a voluntary capacity), the scope of which may encompass some or all of the following:

• Design, development, and delivery of XR-related academic courses and programs;
• Application of XR technologies for learning, teaching, and assessment within and across various disciplines;
• XR research, development, innovation, and commercialization;
• Use of XR in other areas of higher education such as marketing/outreach, student services, and the library.

Respecting Human Autonomy through Human-Centered AI
A multidisciplinary workshop at NordiCHI 2020
October 25th or 26th (will be confirmed in August)
Location: Talinn, Estonia (or possibly virtual)
Workshop website: https://sway.office.com/b7kcCzg0kRJkGGPm?ref=Link

AI is becoming more pervasive in our everyday lives and people are increasingly having to relinquish control and decision-making to “smart” systems. Concurrently, people are confronted with a reduced sense of autonomy as a result of being monitored and guided in their actions by complex and autonomous technologies they do not fully understand or control.… read more. “Call: Respecting Human Autonomy through Human-Centered AI – NordiCHI 2020 workshop”
