    International Conference and Working Group Meeting – COST Action TraFaDy

    Globalisation and migratory flows have profoundly reshaped contemporary societies, prompting challenges and opportunities for individuals, families and organisations. In this context, transnational dynamics and relationships have become striking phenomena, associated with complex processes of autonomisation, co-dependence, intergenerational solidarity, connection and the construction of intercultural identities (Baykara-Krumme & Fokkema, 2019; Bryceson & Vuorela, 2002; Cienfuegos et al., 2023).

    Our digital world, while enabling further interactions, the reinvention of relationships, and new ways of being present, also brings with it the risks associated with the spread of misinformation and ambivalent dynamics with digital tools (Baldassar et al., 2016; Smets et al., 2020). All the above seriously impact relationships within families and therefore merit analysis in various fields.

    Therefore, despite the increase in the mobility and circulation of people and goods, there are also challenges to family/relational fragmentation of interest to transdisciplinary studies in the Social Sciences and the Humanities, particularly in the areas of Psychology, Cultural Studies, Communication and Social Work.

    This event, which combines a meeting of Working Group 4 of the TraFady COST Action and a conference, aims to promote theoretical approaches, training, and capacity building. To this end, we are opening a call for presentations including, but not limited to the following topics:

    • Cultural representations of migration and transnational relationships

    • Transnational Family Dynamics

    • National and international migration

    • Social policies for the family

    • Social policies for migration

    • Digital practices for wellbeing in a transnational context

    • Media literacy and information in transnational and migratory contexts

    • Relationship between work and migration

    • Brain Drain and its impact

    • Intergenerational solidarity

    • Artistic responses to migration and translational relationships

    • The impact of technology and communication

    • Environmental migration

    • Cultural adaptation

    • The emotional impact of migration

    • The emotional impact of family separation

    The event will include:

    • Keynote Lectures (to be confirmed);

    • Workshop on the role of the media in the integration and well-being of transnational families;

    • Paper sessions (subject to submission);

    • Round table with community agents working with migrants in Portugal;

    Detailed Project Description

    This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a PhD as part of a Research Ireland Project addressing the emerging and urgent challenge of climate policy misinformation. The project, entitled Tackling Climate Misinformation in Ireland: An Evidence Base and Novel Resources for Journalists and Communications Professionals (CLiME), examines how misleading claims, delay discourses, and climate-sceptic arguments — particularly in relation to decarbonising agriculture — are reproduced and normalised within Irish news media and public discourse.

    The PhD candidate will play an important role in the project working collaboratively with the PI and a postdoctoral researcher, and there will be excellent training and travel opportunities. The candidate will also have opportunities to gain teaching experience. The supervisory team will include Dr Brenda McNally (PI) and co-supervisor Professor Karyn Morrissey. The project is also supported by an advisory board of international experts in the field.

    CLiME’s overarching aim is to shed light on the evolving forms of climate misinformation, to provide an evidence base of climate policy misinformation in Ireland and to raise awareness of the discursive strategies used to mainstream climate policy misinformation, while also interrogating the political and institutional power structures that enable their mainstreaming. The successful PhD candidate will conduct foundational research by identifying misleading and climate sceptic claims in news media coverage about decarbonising agriculture – a key area of climate policy contestation in Ireland and contribute to knowledge of the influence of journalistic news routines and production practices on the reproduction of misinformation in Irish news media. The findings of the PhD research will be used to inform the development of evidence-based tools and resources to support journalists and communication professionals.

    The post will also provide the opportunity to develop a range of highly transferable skills, including policy translation, stakeholder engagement, public communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, and project management — all of which are relevant for academic careers as well as roles in the public, non-profit, and media sectors.

    The ideal candidate will have a background in qualitative research, news media analysis, or misinformation studies, with an interest in strategic political communication. This is an opportunity to contribute to current debates on climate action, public trust, and media responsibility, while also advancing scholarship in climate policy misinformation, journalism studies, and environmental communication.

    The successful candidate will be based in the Moore Institute for the Humanities and Social Studies (MI) at the University of Galway and will be a registered student within SEMCA. MI provides a particularly supportive environment for early career researchers and is a first port-of-call for collaborators working in academia, the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), government, and industry. They will also have access to the Researcher Development Centre, which supports researcher training, researcher career development and the integration of researchers into University of Galway’s community.

    Living allowance (Stipend): €25,000 per annum [tax-exempt scholarship award]. Computer equipment and funding for travel (e.g. to conferences) as well as attendance at international summer schools will be provided in addition to the stipend.

    University fees: Funding support is in place for 4 years of fees.

    Doctoral School of People and Technology at Roskilde University

    Contents

    The course is aimed at PhD students with an interest in norm critique, norm-critical interventions, and the significance of norms for (in)equality, (in)justice as well as inclusion and exclusion in various societal contexts such as educational practice, urban planning, sustainable transition, innovation, working life, and management.

    Norm critique – and particularly norm-critical pedagogy – is a Nordic phenomenon which initially grew out of Swedish activist and educational circles. Later, the norm-critical approach to equality and social change has spread to the rest of the Nordic countries, and in Sweden it has even become a state-approved approach in diversity and equality work. At the same time, norm critique has encountered political and public opposition and has been criticized for being yet another strand of identity politics and, thus, undermining society. Hence, it becomes even more important to consolidate the theoretical basis for norm-critical research, which more and more PhD students and researchers are conducting.

    Originally, norm critique draws on Freirean liberation thinking, feminist theory, critical gender studies, intersectionality, queer theory, and critical race theory. But only recently has there been research interest in disentangling, developing, and discussing the theoretical basis for norm critique in research across disciplines.

    The PhD course taps into these current theoretical, methodological, and analytical discussions of how norm critique can offer new ways of studying inequality and how norm critical research practices can revitalize a feminist and anti-racist ethical imperative of social change and refurbish the social obligation of research.

    The course is organized around three themes:

    The theoretical foundation and epistemology of norm critique:

    • Modern legacies and postmodern possibilities (Krøjer)
    • Norms, normalcy and norm violations (Padovan-Özdemir)
    • Firstness and otherness (Brade)

    Norm-critical methodologies:

    • Queering as a strategy (Just)
    • Critical design (Hagbert)
    • Cabinet of Rarities (Padovan-Özdemir)

    Norm-critical ethics:

    • Heterotopic horizon of change (Padovan-Özdemir)
    • Feminist ethics of care (Krøjer)

    In this way, the participants get the opportunity to sharpen the distinction between norm critique in practice/activism and norm critique as a research approach and perspective, while at the same time being able to observe and relate to the ethical basis of norm critique.

    Join us at the inaugural conference at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya this September. We will organise the conference around these themes and formats:

    THEMATIC TRACKS

    1. Concepts and characteristics: How to define hype against rivaling concepts in academic and media representations? What is the difference between hype an imaginaries, trends, alarmism, visions, expectations or futures?

    2. Dynamics and temporalities: How can hype be read, studied, assessed - or even anticipated? When and where does hype happen? How can linguistic, narratological, artistic, historic, ethnographic, statistical and bibliometric, or discourse analytical approaches inform the study of hype?

    3. Engaging: How do practitioners and artists depict, experience, produce and deal with hypes? We welcome contributions on topics ranging from debunking, myth-busting, fact-checking, training in journalism, science and technology communication, artistic interventions...

    FORMATS

    1. Panel presentation: Traditional academic panel where you will present your research or insight into a topic, theory, initiative or project and its background. The conference organisers will put your proposal along other 3 similar.

    2. Open floor: Curate a discussion space, where two or more people gather to discuss about a topic, concept, project or event. We expect this format to be interactive and participatory, including the audience. You can submit individually, or as a group.

    3. Making and Doing: Present on the conference space action-research projects, workshops, activist interventions, games, video art and other experiments. We will incorporate your work on the conference location as an art installation, workshop/game or a video. Alternatively, you can also pitch a format you find inspirational (open format).

    With best regards,
    The hype study group

    This groundbreaking book demystifies generative AI’s transformative impact on media, socio-cultural dynamics, ethics, and policy. Defining generative AI as an evolutionary leap in the development of artificial intelligence, the author examines intricate human-machine interactions and socio-technical dynamics, advocating robust, proactive AI governance to address emerging uncertainties. The book is clearly structured into six key chapters, each exploring distinct aspects of the relationship between artificial intelligence, media, and society. The chapter on "Transformation" examines how machine behavior is reshaping our datafied society, questioning whether data is the new oil or digital manure. "Generative AI" investigates the models and future impacts of generative AI as a co-intelligence, revisiting the Turing Test and analyzing societal-business impacts. "AI Media" explores the convergence of media and AI, highlighting robot journalism, synthetic content, and the disinformation era and discussing the trend toward high-risk optimism. "Uncertainties" addresses inherent unpredictability vs. strategic foresight, focusing on challenged business models, sustainability concerns, and emotional intelligence factors. "Ethics" analyzes generative morality and dual-use technology, covering trusted AI principles—from misuse to integrative solutions. Finally, "Policy" discusses governance, labor market impacts, and the importance of human rights and power dynamics in generative AI. Each chapter also provides summaries of impact projects, reflective art, scholarly questions, and strategic takeaways extended with a comprehensive glossary.
