Dear all,
Hope you are keeping safe and
well.
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2021 ACM
conference
on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency
-- FAccT (formerly known as ACM FAT*) is now open.
We welcome scholarship in dialogue with fairness,
accountability, and transparency in computational
systems, including critical approaches that
investigate core assumptions and propose alternative
designs, practices, and policies.
This year’s conference will take place in the context of a worldwide reckoning with racism and other forms of injustice, in society generally and within the field of computing in particular. Such questions are not only a matter of personal and professional concern, but also a perennial focus of FAccT scholarship. In this light, we especially welcome attention to insufficiently addressed issues in computing such as: How do algorithmic systems develop in relation to racism and anti-blackness? How should the field address the problems and opportunities of intersectional perspectives on fairness? What kinds of marginalization are relevant to the concerns of ACM FAccT? How can perspectives and tools from gender/LGBTQ studies, postcolonial studies, indigenous studies, racial and ethnic studies, migration studies, work on disability and other relevant domains inform a broad perspective on how to frame and advance social justice in relation to design of computational systems?
Submissions might include
(but not limited to) the following areas:
We welcome submissions on
these topics from a broad set of expertise from a
wide variety of disciplines, including computer
science, statistics, the humanities, and law. More
