Reminder: Digital Methods Training Workshop and Symposium on Social Media Research
This workshop focuses on different ways to access and analyze large social media data sets. We will discuss the differences between digital and computational methods, and reflect on their opportunities and limitations. After an introductory lecture, we will explore and try out different tools to access and analyze social media data sets from various platforms. The focus will be on data refining and building structural bird's-eye views to data using approaches such as network analysis. No previous experience on working with social media data is needed. Each participant will bring their own laptop, and links for pre-installation requirements will be provided before the workshop (e.g., Open Refine, Gephi).There will not be programming involved, and therefore no prior knowledge of programming languages is required.

Dr. Salla-Maaria Laaksonen is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Media and Communication at the University of Helsinki. Her research uses digital and computational methods to study the hybrid media system, how platforms and datafication are changing communication flows, and how organizations use algorithms and machine learning to exert organizational power. She is an expert in social network analysis and data visualization, and she is Project Coordinator for the Smarter Social Media Analytics project.

Please register by: 3 April 2020. The workshop is limited to 40 participants, with priority given to students at the Graduate School. Staff are also welcome to apply.

Urban Creativity Seminar: Grafitti Between Drawing and Writing. Reflecting on an Atlas of Athenian Inscriptions
The research network Urban Creativity Lund hosts an open seminar with Konstantinos Avramidis, Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Portsmouth. The seminar is a collaboration with the Department of Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm University, and will be conducted via video link.
The seminar will focus on a designed book object which promotes a new situating of Athenian inscriptions that allows us to make sense of, navigate in and reconstruct the Athenian graffiti landscape through characteristic surfaces. Presented as an atlas, a book of drawings of writings and writings on drawings, it offers a close study of three plus one situations in which graffiti has been recorded. The talk discusses how the book, in both drawn and written form, describes the graffiti and opens up questions of graffiti related to each situation. Based on Warburg’s atlasing methods, the talk suggests a design take on atlas making whilst – following W.J.T. Mitchell’s picture theory – challenging the distinction between drawing and writing.
Places at the seminar are free, but limited.
Places can be reserved by writing to: peter [dot] bengtsen [at] kultur [dot] lu [dot] se.

Seminar: SamTech: Care work in the age of technological reproduction
Roar Hansen is from the Centre for Care Research, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL).
In his PhD project, Hansen will put under close investigation imaginations of, dilemmas in and local level solutions to the complex task of providing, organizing and prioritizing health and care services to elderly (“care”). The ethnographical context will be the Norwegian municipal care sector in a historical phase where the problematic of “care” unfold in the tension between a present municipal reality of limited budgets, great complexity and established “modes of productions”, and strong government calls to change the beaten path. Hansen's PhD will build on experiences and knowledge gained through 15 years of professional work with marginalized groups within the Norwegian health and welfare sector, and will analytically and theoretically deal with themes related to labor, innovation and societal and cultural change, as also highlighted in his previous academic work for the Cand.polit degree (Hansen 2000).
Hansen's main research questions relates; How is the challenge (s) related to “elderly care” problematized and understood in care practice, municipal administration and municipal political decision-making? Are the municipal “notions of care” changing, if so, in what directions, and based on which knowledge and which facts, and through which processes? How does national policy documents frame the problematic and are state discourses translated into local realities and do they bring about societal consequences on the ground?

Crip and Queer seminars - A state affair?: Notions of the state in discourses on trans rights in Sweden
Erika Alm is a senior lecturer (assistant professor) in Gender Studies from Gothenburg University.
Departing from previous scholarly work that has studied the effects of state violence and conditional state recognition on the living conditions of gender variant people (Beauchamp 2019, Linander 2018), this chapter explores the function of narratives of the state in discourses on trans rights in Sweden. It provides insights into the relation between state and civil society, and the practicalities of governance, through an examination of how activists interpellate the state and hold it accountable. With a critical inquiry into thehegemonic narrative that the Swedish state has a responsibility to alleviate the suffering of gender variant citizens as a background, it addresses and situates the tension between liberal rights discourses of trans rights on the one hand and transformative politics asking for restorative justice on the other hand (Spade 2007). The argument is that the interpellation of the state can be understood as a strategy to repoliticise the violent effects of governance in times of neoliberalism.

Call for Proposals: Two-Day Gender Studies Conference in Berlin
Studierendenvortragsreihe (SVR) Gender Studies at HU Berlin presents a two-day conference bringing together early-stage Gender Studies scholars from around Europe, to be held in early June at the Humboldt-Universität Berlin.
The Student Lecture Series Gender Studies is a platform for students, especially those in the early stages of study, to practice presenting their gender–related research topics, get inspired by their peers’ work, and exchange feedback with other students from various disciplines.
This lecture series serves several goals: (1) it motivates students to be more active and reflect upon the knowledge they have gained in their studies, and 2) by acknowledging student research, it aims to make knowledge production in academia more inclusive and democratic.
The conference will be held on either the 5-6 June 2020 or the 12-13 June 2020. Applications are open to BA and MA students, as well as recently-graduated people, from anywhere in the world who are working on Gender Studies-related topics from any disciplinary standpoint.
In 2019 SVR hosted speakers for a semester-long seminar but for 2020 they are doing something different — a 2-event event of talks, panels, and discussion about trans-disciplinary Gender Studies topics, organised and led by students.

DIIS - Humanitarian innovation and localization; Building on local needs, competencies and skills
Innovations, from emerging technology to radical methodologies of change, represent a growing emphasis for humanitarian and development actors. Too often, however, innovations are developed in the global North and brought to local contexts, based on perceived needs but without involving target groups. So how do we make sure that innovations in the sector not only reflect local needs, but build upon and develop local perceptions, competencies and skills?
At this seminar DIIS and Save the Children tackles the issue of how we link local needs and solutions with global ones in ways that foster indigenous innovation - moving from isolated top-down projects to solutions that are both locally sustainable and may be scaled. Whether we call it human-centered design, indigenous or participatory innovation, the aim is to put local systems at the heart of the innovation process.
The seminar will be a combination of local experiences, conceptual discussions and participant inputs on the challenges of humanitarian and development innovation.
Practical information: The seminar will be held in English and livestreamed on diis.dk.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. Please use our online registration form no later than Wednesday 4 March 2020 at 10.00.
Livestream does not require registration.

DIIS - Hybrid regimes in the EU; Poland and Hungary
In contrast to ‘popular republics’, which are de facto one-party systems, Western-style liberal democracies have developed over time a system meant to avoid a too high concentration of power in the executive. This includes, but is not limited to, institutional checks and balances, such as the independence of the judiciary and the freedom of academia and media. It also refers to the formal and practical guarantees given to citizens working in these fields.
Over the last decade, some policies by the Hungarian and Polish governments have been criticized, indeed formally scrutinized by the EU, for diminishing the capacity of these institutions to fulfil their task. This critique concerns not only formal rules and policies but pertains also to the sense of intimidation that encourages self-censorship in civil society. The leading parties in the present Hungarian and Polish governments have generally rejected this charge, even though Prime Minister Orbán’s call for an ‘illiberal democracy’ openly sketches a different path.
The public seminar will allow experts on Hungary and Poland to present an analysis of the state of Polish and Hungarian democracy.
Practical information: The seminar will be in English and livestreamed on diis.dk.
Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. Please use our online registration form no later than Thursday 5 March 2020 at 10.00.
Livestream does not require registration.

Lecture China 2020 -- how far does eco civilisation take us?
2020 will be a critical year for nature and China is one of the world's biggest players: China will host the 15th Conference of the Parties on Biodiversity in Kunming, as evidence mounts of an accelerating global mass extinction; China's climate policies will be in the spotlight in Glasgow in November at COP26, as nations are asked to raise their climate ambition. At home, the 14th Five Year Plan currently under preparation will be a key signal of China's direction of travel, but economic pressures may limit its ambition. Isabel Hilton will examine the environmental and climate decisions facing China this year and explore why they are critical to global environmental health.
Isabel Hilton is a London based writer and broadcaster, and founder and CEO of www.chinadialogue.net, an innovative, fully bilingual Chinese English website devoted to building a shared approach on climate change and environmental issues with China. Based in London, chinadialogue launched in 2006 and is now recognised as a unique, independent source of information on environmental and climate issues, widely read in China and in more than 200 countries around the world.

Malmö: Migration seminar: “Museums from Below”: A Study of Migrant Workers Museums in China
Luka Lei Zhang is a PhD candidate in English at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Currently, she is visiting Malmö University and studying with Prof. Magnus Nilsson.
In the recent two decades, several museums have been established exclusively for migrant workers in China. This article provides a comparative study of two types of these museums. Firstly, there are state-run and sponsored museums, such as the Museum of Peasant-Workers in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, founded in 2012. It displays the history of migrant workers in Guangdong Province by exhibiting around 5000 items, including workers’ personal belongings, tools, official documents etc. Such a museum, Zhang argues, serves the "branding" of the local government by celebrating official achievements. By branding workers, the museum establishes a static cultural space for showcasing workers and fetishizing labor. A different type of museum exists in a small village near Beijing. Here, the Migrant Workers Culture and Art Museum has been opened in 2010 and run by migrant workers themselves. It presents an alternative way of exhibiting and representing workers and their culture. The museum not only displays certain work items. It also holds interactive cultural events, such as workers’ writing workshops, workers’ musical performances, and so on. In this article, Zhang will propose to view this museum as an example of a working-class "museum from below," examine its cultural significance, and discuss difficulties it faces.

Lecture: Disenfranchised: The Rise and Fall of Industrial Citizenship in China
In the decades following World War II, factories in many countries not only provided secure employment and a range of economic entitlements, but also recognized workers as legitimate stakeholders, enabling them to claim rights to participate in decision making and hold factory leaders accountable. In recent decades, as employment has become more precarious, these attributes of industrial citizenship have been eroded and workers have increasingly been reduced to hired hands. No country has experienced these changes as dramatically as China. Drawing on a decade of field research, including interviews with both factory workers and managers, Andreas traces the changing political status of workers inside Chinese factories from 1949 to the present, carefully analyzing how much power they have actually had to shape their working conditions.
Joel Andreas, Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University, studies political contention and social change in China. His first book, Rise of the Red Engineers: The Cultural Revolution and the Origins of China’s New Class (Stanford 2009), analyzed the contentious merger of old and new elites following the 1949 Revolution. His second book, Disenfranchised: The Rise and Fall of Industrial Citizenship in China (Oxford 2019), traces radical changes that have fundamentally transformed industrial relations over the past seven decades. Currently, he is continuing to investigate changing labor relations and the ongoing transformation of China’s rural society.
