Hi,

Thanks to those of you who have already shared a link to your group?s potential REF outputs

Can you confirm that your spreadsheet is now complete and so we can move on to the next stage

Hi,

Just to underscore this, I?m afraid REF is upon us. Circumstances meant that the University?s first request that we produce an initial list of outputs by Christmas was rescinded, but the pressure is ramping up now. We will obviously discuss REF when we meet in January, but for the moment please start thinking about the outputs we might use.

You may have seen that the Chair of one of the 4 main panels - physical sciences, engineering and mathematics ? has just been announced as one Tom Rodden. We?ll ask him to come and give us some guidance in the New Year.

All the best,

Tony.

Subject: REF outputs review
Hi,

I emailed you all a few weeks ago asking you to start assembling data for the REF output review.

This is now a *priority* and should be completed by the end of January.

Attached is a slightly amended spreadsheet to collate the data. You can cut and paste if you have already made a start. There is just 1 extra column of information (strength of rating), which is required so we are consistent with other schools in Faculty.

You should put the form in a share folder and share it with your research group so staff can add data, guidance is below, share this with your team too please. You should also give me access so I can collate data across the School. Please send me the share link asap.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

best wishes,
andy


Guidance:
Follow the guidance below to select outputs for inclusion in the School?s first REF2029 assessment exercise. An output is a full paper presented at a conference, a journal paper, a book chapter, or a book that presents *original research* conducted by CS staff.

Output selection criteria
a) You should only select potential 3 or 4 star outputs for review.


  *   Potential 4 star outputs are world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour.
  *   Potential 3 star outputs are internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour, but fall short of the highest standards of excellence.

  *   Originality is understood as the extent to which the output introduces a new way of thinking about a subject, or is distinctive or transformative compared with previous work in an academic field.

  *   Significance is understood as the extent to which the output has exerted, or is likely to exert, an influence on an academic field or practical applications.

  *   Rigour is understood as the extent to which the purpose of the output is clearly articulated, an appropriate methodology for the research area has been adopted, and compelling evidence presented to show that the purpose has been achieved.

b) You should only select outputs that are clearly affiliated with the University of Nottingham, i.e., contain a UoN author address.

c) You should only select outputs published from January 2021 forwards.

d) You should only select outputs that are Open Access (OA)
Green route OA, i.e., the *accepted version* of the output placed on a publicly accessible archive (such as arXiv), and gold route OA, i.e., outputs made publicly accessible by the publisher, may be selected.

e) If an output includes *multiple authors in the School*, then *only one author* should nominate the paper for review, so talk to your co-authors *first* and decided who is best placed to explain why the output is potential 3 or 4 star (see reporting requirements below).

f) Make sure selected outputs are in RIS and ?discoverable?


Reporting requirements
The submitting author will need to provide a short (100 words max) description explaining why they think each selected output is potential 3 or 4 star.

Use the 100 words to provide *verifiable evidence not contained within the paper* of how the output has gained recognition, led to further developments, and/or been applied, e.g.,  best paper awards, follow on grants, keynotes, external impact on other people?s work, industry uptake (inc. contact details), patents, etc.

Dear Professor Stahl,



By way of introduction, I am an Academic Search Consultant with the University of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau and currently assisting Professor Susan Watson, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics, with an international search to attract candidates to a newly created position of Associate Professor or Full Professor of Ethics.



Given your expertise in ethics in ICT/emerging technologies and critical theory in technology and your international network, we would like to seek your advice and recommendations on this appointment, please.



Maybe you are aware of colleagues with research interests in the area of ethics and economics, ethics and law, and/or ethics related to organisations and business. Our Business School aspires to build its capacity in these areas including but not limited to ethical thinking, moral philosophy, corporate responsibility, sustainability, social choice theory, social justice, ethical problem identification and analysis, professional ethics, ethical leadership, data ethics and ethics related to frontier technologies.



We would be delighted to receive any advice and/or recommendations of potential candidates. We are happy to consider colleagues who are already at the professor/associate professor level but also more junior colleagues for whom this position could be their next career step. Maybe you are even aware of expat New Zealanders or Australians who might be interested in returning home or closer to home. We would be delighted to hear about them.



I have taken the liberty of attaching further information about the roles should you wish to forward this to any of your colleagues who might have a personal interest.



Many thanks for your time, and I am looking forward to hearing from you.



With best wishes,

Kathrin

Hi all,
Following Andy's suggestion, I have just created a page on PhD topics in the research section of the website:
https://www.responsible-digital-futures.org/research/phd-topics
If you already have a list of possible topics, can you send it to me? If not, can you suggest at least one, so we have a breadth of areas of interest on the website?
Kind regards,
Bernd

Call for Articles:

Special Issue of the journal Digital Culture & Society

http://digicults.org/

Towards Popular Techno-Futures - a Global Policy Perspective

Submission deadlines for abstracts (200-300 words): March 15

and full papers (6000-8000 words): August 15, 2025

Please submit all contributions to: techfutures at posteo.com<mailto:techfutures at posteo.com>


This special issue will bring together articles exploring Popular Techno-Futures from interdisciplinary and international perspectives, including Cultural and Media Studies, Science and Technology Studies and related disciplines.


The goal of this special issue is to decenter the discussion on socio-technical futures and the role of popular culture, aesthetics and media in their (re)production. In the Global North, official policies and cultural engagements with techno-futures are predominantly driven by a small group of libertarian techno-oligarchs who, in spite of reinforcing critical and dystopian counter-discourses, propound celebratory views of technological progress - of enhancing, or overcoming the human - motivated by their desire to attract venture capital. These futures emerge as increasingly hegemonic, as governments tend to share these celebratory views to further their own interests of economic and national competitiveness. Nationalist, elitist, and often ethnocentric imaginaries and narratives blur the line between political, economic, and pop-cultural realms and become obstacles to a nuanced and inclusive discourse on the risks and benefits of future technologies. What is worse, the political surrender to capitalist and competitive growth-lock-ins disregards or even erases a vast imaginary zone of alternative futures.



Focused on the interests of individual nations, these narratives tend to disregard the historical and current economic entanglements between technological developments in the North and the exploitation of the South. Political and cultural media discourses in the North tend to cast the Global South as war-torn, technologically underdeveloped, and in need of help. At the same time, official national strategies in the Global North as well as the Global South foreground the use of technology to further development and economic growth. These efforts tend to disregard the economic precarity of local populations and the necropolitical exploitation of the lands of the South. Rarely acknowledged in official media discourses and dominant cultural references, these connections nevertheless emerge in counter-cultural discourses and artistic productions predominantly from the Global South which imagine their own techno-futures. Preexisting research on techno-futures and their impact on the societal acceptance, design, and use of technologies has mostly focused on the ?key players? of the West (and its antagonism to China), while other parts of the world have been neglected.


Conceptually, Cultural Studies and STS scholarship have long stressed the interplay between the social imagination and the de facto production of scientific facts or socio-technical authority. Contributions will work from the general premise that technologies are shaped not only by the policies and views of political or economic elites and the allocation of resources but also by various narratives and discourses drawing on popular imaginaries and cultural frameworks of techno-futures. Technology, and therefore also technological futures, are always socially situated, relational, and enmeshed in (dominant) narratives of societal sense-making, constantly reworked and understood differently by users and contexts. Narratives, in particular, have not only been understood as reservoirs of sense-making, but also as performative trajectories, causing dominant perceptions, expectations and investments - powerfully transforming future ideas into material being.



While the intersecting fields of cultural studies and STS have begun to acknowledge voices from the Global South, there is still more work to be done to arrive at a more just and inclusive picture. Such a global take on tech-futures has taken on a renewed urgency in times of rising geopolitical block formations, growing tensions, and a worrying resparking of nationalist sentiments. In this special issue, we plan to focus on forms of tech-future societal discourses from a global and popular perspective to counter the dominant Western mode of inquiry and its (de-)construction of tech-futures. Eligible articles should thus tackle (one or more of) the following questions:



  *   How do different forms of sense-making, like belief systems, media, cultural memory, myths, political culture, and social ideals around the globe reflect, shape, and produce their own tech-futures?
  *   How are these futures co-produced through local and regional experiences, histories and narratives, and how do such narratives interweave traditional and futuristic discourses to create culturally specific futurisms (Sinofuturism, Afrofuturism, Indigenous Futurisms)?
  *    What role do the denial or promotion of, opposition or attraction to, and resistance against or adoption of Western modernist and techno-progressive paradigms play?
  *   How do tensions between spheres of global or local, official or informal shape artistic and media explorations of techno-futures?
  *   What kind of cultural productions and media embody and represent tech-futures? What is the role of the arts, stories, markets, ideals, figures, imagery, humor, narrativity etc. in transmitting and producing different techno futures?
  *   What kind of different hermeneutical approaches and tools exist in contribution or opposition to creating typologies, comparisons, discourses, symbols, analysis etc.?
  *   Which transnational patterns and connections and block formations can be identified in their development?



When submitting an abstract, authors should make explicit to which of the following categories they would like to submit their paper:



Field Research and Case Studies (full paper: 6000-8000 words)

We invite articles that discuss empirical findings from studies that approach the relationships between neurobiology, brain research, computational intelligence, biopolitics, psychological research and the new AI movement. These may include practices of circulating or collecting data as well processes of production and evaluation.



Methodological Reflection (full paper: 6000-8000 words)

We invite contributions that reflect on the methodologies employed when researching the practices of the new tendencies of AI (e.g. artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, deep learning, prognostics and predictive modelling, computer vision). These may include, for example, the specificities of ethnographic fieldwork in online/offline environments; challenges and opportunities faced when qualitatively researching quantifiable data and vice versa; approaches using mixed methods; discussions of mobile and circulative methods; and reflections of experimental forms of research.



Conceptual/Theoretical Reflection (full paper: 6000-8000 words)

We encourage contributions that reflect on the conceptual and/or theoretical dimension of the new artificial intelligence paradigm, and discuss or question how digital intelligence can be defined, what it can describe, and how it can be differentiated.

Entering the Field (2000-3000 words; experimental formats welcome)

Subject: [Rdf-internal] RDF launch even - poster preparation
Message-ID: <DB9PR06MB86696D126C3DEC0F3C07AC55D2C42@DB9PR06MB8669.eurprd06.prod.outlook.com>

Dear all,
Thank you for volunteering to provide poster as part of the RDF launch even poster session. We just had a look at the location and we think we can accommodate all proposed posters.
Can you please come to the MRL meeting room at 10 am? We can then prepare the room and set up the posters. We will probably put them in a separate room behind the MRL meeting room.
If that does not work for you in terms of timing, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Bernd

Hi all,
Does anybody have a paper lying around that touches on sustainability and that you might want to get published quickly?
I would not propose writing a new one, but if you have one already done or half-done, then this could be a quick-fire option to get it out there.

Kind regards,
Bernd

Subject: FoA projects seeking CS collaboration

Hi Bernd,

I hope you're well.

I was wondering if you could share a message with the Responsible Digital Futures group for me please, if relevant, and if not, if you could direct me to anyone else in CS who would be more relevant?

There are two projects from Faculty of Arts that are looking to further develop with an AI or software angle, to make research outputs usable in the real world:

  *   Translating text into 'Easy Language' (a simplified version of English, suitable for an 11-year-old to understand) to improve accessibility to information, resources, etc. The researcher is looking for someone to develop a project to build their translation abilities into an AI/generative AI tool.
  *   Inclusive subtitles: The background research to understand problems with current subtitles and how to improve these has been done, and the researcher is now looking for someone who is able to develop a software that will 'translate' standard subtitles into more accessible versions of their choice, e.g., including audio description or identifying the speaker.

Both projects are looking to be developed over the next few months, with aims of applying for funding in Spring. I'm not sure if either project would be of interest, but thought the underlying skills could overlap with some research going on in the group. If you have suggestions of academics or other research groups who may be interested, please let me know. As always, happy to meet with anyone interested to discuss further.

Thanks,
Alice

Dear Profs,

Just FYI at the moment, but we expect the deadline for the REF Readiness review to be set shortly at some time around the end of April or beginning of May.

Andy will be in touch when we know more.

All the best,

Tony.

Subject: REF returns

Hi,

As you will all appreciate by now, there are problems with our REF returns, very significant problems in most cases

262 outputs were eventually returned but when the eligibility criteria were applied, only 177 remain viable 

I suggest we work with those, and that you work with your teams on fixing the problems I?ve flagged to you

Just so we are clear, there a 3 critical criteria, rules or requirements:

1. An output must be affiliated with UoN, University of Nottingham must be written on it

2. An output must be discoverable in RIS, in progress is not eligible 

3. A conference or journal output must be Open Access (green or gold)

The third rule is, to use a well-worn northern phrase, ?a bit of bugger? largely with respect to conference papers as some are classified as book chapters (Springer often do this) and do not as such require OA (basically if an output has ISBN it does not have to be OA)

Nonetheless, please make sure your teams understand these rules and apply them

Going forwards, it is crucial that on acceptance the accepted version of an output is put on RIS 

best wishes,
andy
