Nätkulturer

Förra året var jag inbjuden av Brå att berätta om mitt kritiska perspektiv på säkerhet för unga nätanvändare på den årliga konferensen Stockholm Criminology Symposium. Det var väldigt givande på många sätt, att anträda den kriminella banan. Bland annat har det lett fram till en artikel i den finska kriminologtidskriften (jag förstod inte ett ord) och en föreläsning för personal på Justitieministeriet i Helsingfors den 12 april i år.

Jag vill väldigt gärna fortsätta samarbetet med rättsväsendet eftersom jag ser ett stort behov av kunskapsutbyte. Vi kan inte kosta på oss att ha så snäva referensramar som vi har idag. Jag tror på mycket mer samarbete mellan ungdomsforskningen och rättsväsendet. Ett bra sätt är att besöka konferenser som Stockholm Criminology Symposium. För den som vill berätta om sin forskning på konferensen i år är det en vecka kvar att lämna in abstrakt.

ISTE är International Society for Technology in Educations årliga konferens och årets upplaga går av stapeln i Philadelphia. Det är inte en paperkonferens utan som deltagare förväntas du delta i workshops, varav några ingår i konferensavgiften och några kostar extra.

Skolverkets webbplats IT i skolan samlar bland annat viktiga konferenser i ett kalendarium. Här är vårens händelser:

24 mars Konferens: Framtidens läromedel 2011

30 mars Konferens: Ung 3.0 – ungdomskultur och ungdomarnas medieanvändning

6 april Konferens: Pedagogiska utmaningar inför Gy 2011

11 april Konferens: Skolkonferens Datainspektionen

12 april Seminarium: Sociala medier i skolbiblioteket

10 maj Konferens: Räcker det inte med att googla?

19 maj Konferens: Framtidens lärande 2011

15 juni Konferens om digital kompetens och skolutveckling

Jag är inte något stort fan av ordet framtiden och alldeles särskilt inte när det används för att prata om unga. Det blir en liten markering att “ni har ingen plats nu men vi förstår att ni kommer att få det.” Benevolent childism, men det ska jag skriva om en annan gång.

Nu handlar det om en konferens som är lika viktig oavsett att de valde namnet Framtidens lärande (synd, när Samtidens lärande låg så när till hands). Hur som helst blir det en riktigt späckad tvådagarskonferens, påkostad och välbesökt. Årets keynotes är bland andra Simon Lindgren från Umeå universitet, som har skrivit flera böcker om unga och populärkultur, varit redaktör för Ungdomskulturer och medverkar i båda våra böcker som snart kommer ut.

Konferensen går av stapeln 19-20 maj med en sorts förkonferens den 18:e. Jag hittar inget datum för senaste anmälan men jag gissar att man bör vara ute i god tid.

Invitation to The Conference in Malmö August 24-25th 2011

New name. All media industries
We are very excited to welcome you to the 2011 edition of The Conference (formerly known as Moving Images). For the seventh year in a row we gather people from film, games, web, publishing, tech and music to explore the future of media and discover new business opportunities.

Great expectations
During this two-day media industry crossover we will raise forward-looking questions like: Who are the next generation of audiences and consumers? How will content and technology influence each other in the future? What new ideas will unfold and define the next step in media creation and consumption? And, naturally, we will give a shot at expressing the answers we all seek as we move into the unknown territory of tomorrow.

In short, The Conference puts you right in the flow of the present media evolution and points an inspiring finger into the future.

Meanwhile, in another part of town
At the same time as The Conference takes place at Slagthuset in Malmö, the surrounding city is enjoying the Malmö Festival. It is the time of year when the streets of Malmö burst with music, performances and creativity. What better than to simultaneously arrange a media conference that celebrates the same attributes? Because at the end of the day, it is all about the user-experience.

So register now! You don’t want be an angry bird…

Welcome to Malmö, August 24-25th!

An international interdisciplinary conference

24−26 August 2011, University of Helsinki, Finland

Literature and art mediate our experiences of the spaces and places surrounding us as well as within us. In contemporary discussion we use, besides the old term ‘landscape’, other ‘scapes’ which reflect a new interest and new thinking with regard to spaces: we speak of cityscapes, bodyscapes, mindscapes and even memoryscapes, and their relationships to one another. The intertwining of what, of old, was called ‘macrocosm’ (nature and society) and ‘microcosm’ (body and mind) and the role various art forms and media play in articulating and negotiating these chiasmic encounters is the focal point of the Imagining spaces/places conference. How are the interfaces between ‘the place in you and you in the place’ depicted? How are these imagined and material landscapes gendered and sexualized?

The conference seeks to produce an interdisciplinary dialogue between art history, literature and gender studies. We welcome papers addressing issues of representing and creating spaces in literature, art or film, and emphasizing the gendered, emotional and political or ideological character of these cultural mediations and re-mediations.

The conference is organized by the Finnish Doctoral Programme in Art History, the Finnish Doctoral Programme for Literary Studies and the Finnish Research School in Women’s and Gender Studies.
