Digital Worlds: A Virtual Workshop
The Center for Collaboration and Ethics at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
April 10 & 11, 2021
Online

Abstract submissions deadline: January 15, 2021

The Center for Collaboration and Ethics at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley invites submissions for a virtual workshop to be conducted remotely on April 10 & 11, 2021. We seek papers that interrogate the way modern digital technology enhances, hampers, or alters our experience of our lived worlds.

The distinction between “being on the internet” and “being in the real world” is eroding.  People can increasingly be said to “live on their phones” or other devices. This workshop aims to interrogate the meaning and structure of the world as mediated by such devices.

For example, Google Maps changes what it means to get lost and Air BnB changes who our neighbors are.… read more. “Call: Digital Worlds: A Virtual Workshop”
