Lab. CIMEOS (University of Burgundy) 

Deadline: November 15, 2024

International Communication Association 

French Society for Information and Communication Science  

Lab. CIMEOS (University of Burgundy) 

The Regional ICA Conference to be held in May 2024 in Dijon welcomes scholars from all over the worldworking on food-related issues from a Communication Sciences perspective. Today, food is the subject of numerous studies in history, sociology and anthropology.Many reference works have been written in the disciplines of Human and Social Sciences yet reading the food fact by the prism of the Communication Sciences is an original approach which allows to underline aspects until now little treated.   

Eating and food choices are the result of numerous factors: biological, psychological, cultural and social. The latter are made up of a whole range of dimensions, such as the media context, memory traces linked to childhood, our upbringing or the experiences and memories that stem from it. 

From this perspective, food choices require us to adopt a reflexive stance on the social, symbolic and memorial values we incorporate when we eat. As part of the research carried out by the CIMEOS laboratory and its food and gastronomy axis, it's the meaning of our food that we're concerned with. Its gourmet meaning, its environmental and ethical meaning, its nutritional meaning but also its political meaning. 

Communication Sciences have taken on the food issue around several polarities (De Iulio et al., 2015). The first considers food as a system in the sense understood by Greimas, who emphasizes that "food constitutes a form of non-verbal communication through which meaning is shared" (2015: 8). The second polarity addresses our acts, practices and food choices from media perspective, as an object of discourse and images.

It is then a matter of working on food and gastronomy by studying the discourses, their circularity, their impacts on the representations of consumers but also, by extension, on their practices. Various and diversified epistemological approaches are developed questioning a multiplicity of concepts from sensorial and sensitive communication to knowledge constitution and mediation, or digital impacts, challenges and stakes.

The ICA "Food Communication” regional conference offers opportunities for engagement with scholars, students and public intellectuals from around the continent to debate these important and topical issues. The following types of proposal are encouraged: communications, thematic panels, posters (especially by the young scholars).  

Papers, panels (free formats but no longer than one hour and a half) or posters could address the following themes: 

1. Social practices concerning the act of « eating ». 

2. Food communication and digital technologies.

3. Health, food and communication. 

4. Communication strategies of the food science industry: food security, labels, etc. 

5. Food as a medium for constructing a territory’s reputation and notoriety. 

The conference will be held in person and is open to everyone, but scholars who wish to present their works need to submit an extended abstract (400-600 words) that will be double-peer reviewed. 

In the future, an Interest Group Food and Communication could be created participating to the development of research in that area for ICA. 

CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS DETAILS:

Following the ICA tradition, multiple methodologies are valued and works conducted from a wide range of paradigmatic perspectives are encouraged. The goal for extended abstracts is to present and discuss current research about food communication and should adhere to the following guidelines:

- Extended abstract should be between 400-600 words (excluding references, tables & figures), and should clearly state the contribution of the work to food communication.

- Research data should already be collected. Abstracts need to present some preliminary analyses to provide a first review of results.

- Theoretical or methodological extended abstracts are also acceptable; authors should lay out the main arguments to be developed.

- Work should be unpublished and not presented at other conferences. 

Please upload a single de-identified PDF file of your paper (including tables, figures, and references) by the deadline (November 15th, 2023) to: https://icafood2024.sciencesconf.org/. To submit an abstract each author must create an account on the website.

European Journal of Health Communicaiton (Special Issue)

Deadline: February 15, 2024

In this special issue of the European Journal of Health Communication, we invite scholars to submit manuscripts which address (in)equalities and (in)equities in digital health communication and provide theorising that goes beyond individual actors and their responsibilities.

As society grapples with inequities in health and disease, scientists throughout the world have recognised that individual-level behaviour change interventions, while common, are not always ideal for improving health outcomes. Recent global health pandemics have highlighted the need for both digital health technologies and collaborations that bring together the public and private sectors at local, regional, national, and international levels for success. This is an area where health communication scholars should offer new and important insights. New technologies, such as AI, digital health and monitoring tools, electronic medical records, and organisational shifts to digitise clinical encounters, are quickly becoming essential for health, well-being and patient empowerment. At the same time, technologies are often created for profit and exist within systems that replicate and often exacerbate inequalities due to unequal access, literacy, or other structural forms of oppression, such as embedded racism, sexism, and ableism.

What counts as digital health communication?

Worldwide technological development and the digitalisation of health technologies are at the heart of healthcare systems promising efficiency, better management, and a patient-centred approach. However, all the tools available to support patients, carers, and healthcare professionals are also at risk of exacerbating implicit and unintentional discrimination or bias. For this special issue, we are particularly interested in papers that focus on either the human use of digital tools/devices to support health communication or examination of digital health contexts such as mobile health, e-health, and AI-based technologies such as conversational agents and telehealth focused on health communication. This special issue calls on health communication scholars to theorise on or empirically examine (beyond individual actors and their responsibilities) interventions and solutions to health inequality/inequity using digital tools/devices.

What do we mean by (in)equality & (in)equity?

In most of Europe and in other parts of the world, the state plays a major role in ensuring public health. As most health technologies are developed by private companies with often different and conflicting objectives (responsibilities to shareholders and profit), it is worth exploring if and how such technologies can improve health and for whom. Inequalities refers to the unequal distribution or usage of health care services supported or enabled by digital technologies. These inequalities may be related to socio-demographic factors such as age, race, region, income, education level, health status, or health literacy. Inequities refers to failures of governments or other structures or organisations that are supposed to ensure public health for all. Inequalities can create inequities, but they can also be used to address inequities. In addition, digital transformations can both improve or reinforce, produce or exacerbate, through health communication, certain forms of inequalities and/or inequities.

All submissions should address the three main components of this special issue:

• A digital health communication context or technology,
  
• an (in)equality or (in)equity aspect,
  
• the issue of responsibility, which may include individual actors/patients but should also include examination of structural, cultural, organisational, economic, or policy levels.
  
• Examples of topics of interest related to (in)equality and (in)equity in digital health communication include (but are not limited to):
  
• Processes for cultural adaptation of digital health messaging
  
• Digital health literacy alongside language literacy in migrant communities using e-health coaching or wearable devices
  
• Mis/dis-information at structural or organisational levels
  
• Telehealth platform for low-income patients without internet access or smartphones/digital devices
  
• User interaction design that accounts for various ability levels of vision and hearing
  
• Web-based directory of local mental health resources
  
• Health messages generated by AI algorithms/ large language models (e.g., GPT) and intrinsic racism, sexism, or other form of discrimination
  
• Chatbots in the distribution of health information and education
  
• AI communication policies/ethics created by organisations or governments
  
• Digitisation of inclusive health reminders for screenings and procedures that consider diverse gender identities (e.g., pap smears, mammogram, prostate screening)
  
• Health-related controversies on an NGO-designed digital platform
  

Submission format

We welcome submissions that fit any of the EJHC formats: original research papers, theoretical papers, methodological papers, review articles, and brief research reports. For further information on article types, please see http://www.ejhc.org/about/submissions.

Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with EJHC author guidelines and be submitted via the journal website.

The deadline for submissions is 15 February 2024.

Review Process

All articles will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Once the paper has been assessed as appropriate by the editorial management team (with regard to form, content, and quality), it will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers in a double-blind review process, meaning that reviewers are not disclosed to authors, and authors are not disclosed to reviewers. To ensure short publication processes, EJHC releases articles online on a rolling basis, expected to start in October 2024.

Dear ECREA fellows,

We have a job opening as postdoctoral researcher at The Center for Tracking & Society at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, in the Datafied Living project. The position is full-time for a duration of up to 2 years to be filled by 1 January 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position targets researchers in the area of Datafied Work and is part of the Datafied Living research project which runs 2021-2025 and is funded by the ERC (datafiedliving.ku.dk). The candidate’s research activities will advance the aims of the Datafied Living project regarding empirical studies of how digital tracking and datafication affects work practices and decision-making in key welfare institutions (such as education and healthcare) and private sector organisations; and how datafied societies should respond to such developments.

As postdoc in Datafied Living you will be expected to, independently and in collaboration with other researchers in the team, contribute to advancing empirical datafication research along one or more of the following lines:

• Developing organizational studies of datafication that can inform current and future policy making around data, work, and algorithmic management.
  
• Developing empirical studies of how digital tracking and data-driven decision-making transform professional work and workplaces.
  
• Linking empirical developments in datafied work and algorithmic management to current regulatory efforts at the national and EU levels.
  

You will have your daily working space in the Center for Tracking and Society (CTS). CTS is an interdisciplinary research hub that develops and consolidates emerging interdisciplinary and empirical research on the interplay between digital tracking, existing social structures and the various actors that form future society. The interdisciplinary work at CTS spans media and communication, computer science, surveillance, political economy and critical data studies.

We invite submissions for a special issue of Journalism which aims to bring together recent research on how journalists, newsrooms and journalist organizations, by working across professional, cultural and geographical boundaries can improve safety for journalists. Understanding the roles that self-reliance and solidarity among journalists, individually, collectively and structurally, can play in ensuring safety of journalists is key to identifying the possibilities and potentials of the emergent practice of 'radical sharing' of risk as well as information, among journalists. The full call for papers can be found here.

We are keen to include papers on, but not only limited to, the following topics:

• Investigations on experiences from journalistic cooperation projects creating a consensus that 'killing the journalist will not kill the story'.
  
• Investigations into efficacies and efficiencies of approaching safety measures collectively, internationally and cross-continentally.
  
• Investigations into efforts to promote the safety of journalists in authoritarian "democracies" through cross-border collaborative platforms, organisations and interventions.
  
• Measuring the effects of collaborative campaigns and other collective actions to improve the safety of journalists.
  
• Knowledge about and practice of fostering a future culture of safety through international collaborations in journalism education.
  
• Investigations on economic, professional and political implications of collaborative journalistic work.
  
• Different approaches to theorising the safety for journalists based on crossborder solidarity.
  
• Investigations on local and cross-border journalistic collaborative work in, between, and among countries both in the Global South and North.
  
• Other topics that might be relevant within the broad framework of solidarity and self-reliance for safety among journalists will also be given due consideration by the editors for the forthcoming special issue.
  

Extended abstracts (500-800 words), accompanied by a 100-150-word author bio, should be sent to the guest editors at safetyofjournalists@oslomet.no by October 20, 2023. 

If selected, scholars will be invited to submit full papers. We welcome research articles that are empirical or conceptual. These should not be more than 8,000 words in length, including references. All submissions are subject to full blind peer-review, in accordance with the peer-review procedure of Journalism. Manuscripts will be submitted through the journal's ScholarOne website. Authors must indicate that they wish to have their manuscript considered for this Special Issue.
