Dear Colleagues,
The organizing committee of the 10th Annual International
Conference on
Social Media and Society (#SMSociety) invites you to visit Toronto
on July
19-21, 2019. This year's conference will be held at the Ted Rogers
School of
Management and hosted by Ryerson University Social Media Lab. The
2019
conference theme is "Rethinking Privacy and Trust in the Social
Media Age."
The Conference offers an intensive 3-day program including
hands-on
workshops, full & work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters
featuring the
latest in social media research. This year, we are honoured to
have two
highly distinguished scholars as our keynote speakers:
* Tarleton Gillespie, a principal researcher at Microsoft Research
New
England, and an affiliated professor in the Department of
Communication and
Department of Information Science at Cornell University. His new
book,
Custodians of the Internet: Platforms, Content Moderation, and the
Hidden
Decisions that Shape Social Media (Yale University Press) was
published in
June 2018. * Valerie Steeves, a professor in the Department of
Criminology at the
University of Ottawa. As the lead researcher of MediaSmarts' Young
Canadians
in a Wired World research project, she has been tracking young
people's use
of new media since 2000. She is also the principal investigator of
The
eQuality Project, a seven-year partnership exploring young
people's
experiences of privacy and equality in networked spaces. More info
