Seminars are held online once a month and organised in a series of 3-4 seminars with a common theme. WASP-HS researchers and invited national and international leading scholars present research results\, ongoing research\, or visions for future directions\, followed by an open discussion. \nThis spring the series called Multidisciplinary Methods is running over three seminars. This seminar\, How to Talk About Ethics: The Challenge of Interdisciplinarity\, is the second out of three. See all seminars below. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n14 April\, 15:00-16:00 \n \n \n \n \n \n Some Possible Principles of Practice in Cross-Cutting Research Endeavours \nSpeaker: Claes-Fredrik Helgesson\, Professor\, Research Director\, Centre for Integrated Research on Culture and Society (CIRCUS) \n \n \n \n \n \n 12 May\, 15:00-16:00 \n \n \n \n \n \n Solving Societal Problems Through Multidisciplinary Collaboration? \nSpeaker: Thomas Berker\, Professor\, Head of Centre of Technology and Society\, NTNU \nLessons from the Norwegian Research Centre on Zero Emission Buildings (2009-2017)  \n \n \n \n \n \n 9 June\, 15:00-16:00 \n \n \n \n \n \n How to Talk About Ethics – The Challenge of Interdisciplinarity \nConfirmed Speaker: Irina Shklovski\, Professor\, University of Copenhagen \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Chair\n \n \n \n \n \n \nEricka JohnsonProfessor\, Linköping University \nKatherine HarrisonSenior Lecturer\, Linköping University \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

This is done to identify opportunities for collaboration between different sectors. At the meetings\, the attendees will be divided into break-out rooms to discuss and generate ideas to keep a continuous link to society. \nVirtual\, Augmented\, and Mixed Reality (VR\, AR\, and MR) is increasing in popularity\, not only in the field of gaming\, but also healthcare\, engineering\, live events\, entertainment\, retail\, education\, and more. People who are working\, studying\, and interacting with others remotely have to adapt to new\, digital environments. Digital environments often engender new sets of distractions. One such distraction is\, for instance\, the fusion of work and private life. Due to the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic\, remote work through the means of digital and interactive platforms and devices has increased substantially. In order to understand the dynamics and implications of virtual interactions between people\, a multidisciplinary perspective is needed. \nAt the event Life in the Digital World WASP-HS brings together academics and practitioners to discuss these issues. We do so with the hope of building a foundation for further analysis of Virtual Reality and games\, from the perspective of social sciences and humanities. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n14:00-14:15 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n14:15-14:30 – Keynote  \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote title: The Role of Humanities and Social Sciences Research for Games and Virtual Reality \nKeynote: Julian Togelius\, Associate Professor\, Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, Tandon School of Engineering\, New York University \n \n \n \n \n \n 14:30-15:25 – Roundtable discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n Marketing in Virtual Worlds \nChair: Johanna Björklund\, Associate Professor\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå UniversityCo-chair: Sara Leckner\, Docent in Media Technology and Senior Lecturer\, Department of Computer Science and Media Technology\, Malmö University \nAbstract We discuss the future of marketing in digital and virtual worlds\, for example\, in online games and other immersive media. Depending on the participants’ interests\, we talk about topics such as (i) priming\, i.e\, how features in the situational environment affect the users’ thoughts and actions\, (ii) fairness\, i.e.\, what fairness policies are meaningful\, and to what extent they are compatible with content personalisation\, (iii) monetisation\, i.e.\, business models for creatives that allow them to earn a livelihood from the content they create\, or (iv) real versus self-assessed behaviour\, i.e.\, the discrepancy known from traditional media between how the users expect themselves to respond to different types of stimuli\, and how they actually respond. Additional suggestions are warmly welcome.  \n \n \n \n \n \n What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Ethics in AI-Driven Educational Practices? \nChair: Teresa Cerratto Pargman\, Associate Professor of HCI\, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV)\, Stockholm UniversityCo-chair: Cormac McGrath\, Department of Education\, Stockholm University \nAbstract This roundtable invites public and private organizations in Sweden to discuss ethical and legal challenges related to AI (i.e.\, machine learning\, deep algorithms\, big data) and learning analytics systems in education. The ambition is to bring together academics and practitioners to discuss these challenges in the actual context of the global pandemic and build the foundation for understanding AI from the social sciences and humanities perspective. \n \n \n \n \n \n Altered Relationships to Autonomous Systems: Somatic Symbiosis\, Correspondence\, Alterity\, or Monster \nChair: Kristina Höök\, Professor in Interaction Design\, KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyCo-chair: Airi Lampinen\, Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction\, Stockholm University; Docent in Social Psychology\, University of Helsinki \nAbstract A wave of new theories attempt to shed light on and redefine our relationship to smart objects\, autonomous technologies\, infrastructures and wearables: e.g. postphenomenological\, pragmatist\, somaesthetics\, feminist and sociological theories. They point to novel engagements\, other ways of interacting\, sometimes decentring the “human”\, sometimes enriching or questioning what can be understood as the category “human”. In this roundtable\, we will discuss what these new theories might bring to the table. \n \n \n \n \n \n From Social Simulations to Interactive Games for Policy Makers \nChair: Frank Dignum\, Professor\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå UniversityCo-chair: Cezara Pastrav\, Research Engineer\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå University \nAbstract Video games are one of the more successful mediums for the communication of complex information in ways that are clear and engaging. Since many successful videogames are basically simulations with a handful of game mechanics thrown in\, can/should we turn our simulations into (serious) games in order to better engage policy makers? In this roundtable\, we’ll discuss whether gamifying simulations for policy makers is a worthwhile idea\, and what are its advantages\, limitations and technical challenges. \n \n \n \n \n \n 15:25-16:00 – Reflections from the roundtables \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.
