📲🤖 From people → data → agents New in our Special Issue on #MobileAI, Scott W. Campbell, mqrmobile.bsky.social‬ & Rich Ling trace the evolution of “individual addressability” in mobile communication. �� https://doi.org/10.1177/2050157926144848439

There is a big difference between "people who are 'scared' of AI and don't want to learn new things" and "people who have deep moral objections to AI's underpinnings, impacts, and the systems of power behind it." It's wild to me that institutions pushing AI adoption don't seem to understand this.

🎉 New at @mobilemediacomm.bsky.social, led by Scott W. Campbell + w Rich Ling! 🪕 We consider how mobile AI could support the individual addressability of data and people (for better + worse) ✨ Thanks to @asouzaesilva.bsky.social + Yifan Xu! doi.org/10.1177/2050...

My PhD student is recruiting participants for his study. Please repost and distribute to your networks if you have a chance!

Really proud to share that my first book will be out in August. "Screen Time and the Impossibility of Contemporary Parenting" examines popular, everyday talk about young children and screen media.

See y'all next week! 📴

📚📱 New Book Review @ioansu.bsky.social reviews The Mobile Media Debate (eds. @tvpape.bsky.social & @vkarnowski.bsky.social, 2024). The volume challenges simplified claims about mobile media through thesis–antithesis–synthesis debates across individuals, groups, and spaces. 🔗 doi.org/10.1177/2050...

Are you a Comm scholar and want to push #openscience in our field? The @icahdq.bsky.social committee "Open Access Open Scholarship", which I'm chairing, is currently looking for a new member. Interested? Then reach out and I'm happy to share more information!

On the other hand, when more and more writing is AI slop, quality writing may become more valuable link.icahdq.org/communities/...

Fascinating deep dive into the characteristics of papers and peer reviews at a journal, with a lookback pre-COVID and pre-chatGPT. Papers and reviews showing more signs of AI over time, but also lower writing quality. orgsci.substack.com/p/more-versu... orgsci.substack.com/p/more-versu...

A big study that was cited as evidence that text generators are good for students has been retracted: www.linkedin.com/posts/ben-wi... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Gearing up for the Mobile Methods Minicon! 📶 Stoked to be part of the organizing team for this Avengers-esque gathering ✊ mobile-methods.github.io/mobile-metho...

Looking forward to these events next week!

This afternoon I took part in a demo of the 'openESM' initiative by @bsiepe.bsky.social hosted by @psychrstats.bsky.social. What a fantastic opportunity for those who are looking to explore or expand their research background with ESM data.

Join our workshop for students/early-career scholars going to #ICA26 organized by @facusuenzo.bsky.social, @ambervdwal.bsky.social, @wendi-li-phd.bsky.social, @mqrmobile.bsky.social, @floprim.bsky.social. 📅 Friday, May 8th ⏰ 8:00 AM EDT | 12:00 PM UCT 🔗 Register here: forms.gle/AryewUXumCsC...

The SECRs from the LGBTQ+; Children, Adolescents and Media; CAT; Mobile Communication; and Philosophy Theory & Critique are organizing an online workshop to help students and ECRs master presentations, network effectively, and confidently navigate the conference. link.icahdq.org/discussion/i...

Interested in intensive longitudinal studies (ESM, EMA, ...)? We will host a GESIS seminar in September that will teach you how to conduct and analyze these studies. Check it out here ⬇️

Meanwhile the ACM Digital Library is creating AI “podcasts” of papers with no author approval that of course contain inaccuracies (including e.g. misgendering authors) I don’t care about copyright. Legal /= ethical & academic institutions are embarrassing themselves www.404media.co/asu-atomic-a...

Or: Fun Times at a Faculty Meeting

Pregame #ica26 with these @icamobile.bsky.social sponsored events! On 5 + 6 May, we'll chat about ICA et al ☕ Here's the link: tinyurl.com/icamobileevent (pw: ICAMOBILE) On 8 May, there's an event to help students + early-career scholars prepare for ICA. Register here: forms.gle/AryewUXumCsC...

Introducing new JoC SI publication: “Possible futures all at once: time frame and time lag in short-term longitudinal media effects research on well-being”, by @klingelhoefer.bsky.social @aliciagilbert.bsky.social @chrdrn.bsky.social @adrianmeier.bsky.social Read here: doi.org/10.1093/joc/...

In Episode 5 of the Oral Histories of Mobile Communication, we hear from @jasonfarman.bsky.social, Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, whose work has been foundational to the study of embodiment, space, and mobile media. Watch the episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ahi...

Someone went to the trouble of creating 5 fake OSF accounts today, linking to 5 fake ORCID accounts, and generating 5 fake papers to submit to SocArXiv, with fake author and emails. Dude, if you are reading this, I hope you get the help you need (or a better job).

Fellow academics: how long do you wait before contacting the Editorial Team about the manuscript that has been 'with Editor' for... a while? I've heard some random figures from colleagues (e.g., reach out if nothing happens after three months), but was wondering if you had any reasons why.

➡️ Next up: the #ICA_Mobile Information Sessions! A great chance to learn 📖 and ask questions 🙋 about our division. Join us on 7 + 8 April! Here's the link: tinyurl.com/icamobileevent (password: ICAMOBILE)

Glad to hear there is an ICA AI task force Less glad to hear it was introduced by assuming AI is "helpful" and "impossible to prevent" link.icahdq.org/communities/...
