Greetings!

I’m happy to announce that the *registration to attend the Discerning
Diverse Voices Symposium on March 1st is now open. *This event is *FREE to
attend* and *HYBRID *(offered both online and in person) to promote
inclusive opportunities for attendance.  If you plan to attend in either
modality, please register here
<https://universityofalabama.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cuzDhHkliUZzy86>,
or follow the link on our website
<https://cis.ua.edu/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-cis/discerning-diverse-voices-symposium-on-diversity/>
where you can find more information about the conference, including
registration information.

*Theme:* *Under Observation: The Conditions of “Being Seen**”*

This year’s theme invites participants to engage with the politics,
mechanisms, and modalities of visibility/invisibility as they relate to
diversity (broadly defined) in the modern information, communication and
media landscapes. We have an exciting mix of papers and pre-constituted
panels that explore different aspects of this theme and broadly connect
across disciplines related to information, communication, library science,
media studies, and advertising/public relations.

*Keynote Speaker: Dr. Melissa Villa-Nicholas*

We are excited to announce Dr. Melissa Villa-Nicholas
<https://www.melissavillanicholas.net/> (University of Rhode Island) as our
esteemed keynote speaker. Her talk, *Data Borders: How Silicon Valley is
Building an Industry to “Know” Immigrants* investigates the emerging state
of borderland technology that brings all people into an intimate place of
surveillance where data resides and defines inclusion and exclusion to
citizenship. Dr. Villa-Nicholas is the author of *Latinas On the Line:
Invisible Labor in Telecommunications
<https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/latinas-on-the-line/9781978813717>*
(2022)
and *Data Borders: How Silicon Valley is Building and Industry Around
Immigrant Data <https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520386075/data-borders>*
(2023).
The keynote will take place from 11:00am- 12:30pm CST.

*A hybrid event!*

As mentioned, the symposium is a hybrid event this year. This means that
all paper and panel sessions, including the keynote, will be meeting
face-to-face at in the UA Student Center Meeting rooms, and will
simultaneously be streamed online for participation remotely. You may
attend these events in either modality (or mix and match!), but you will
need to register online for the symposium to receive the your virtual login
information and instructions to access the event site.

*Poster Session:*

For those folks on campus, we will be exhibiting research posters all day
at the symposium with a poster session held to provide an opportunity for
mingling with the presenters. This is the only fully face-to-face part of
the activities, and I hope that folks on campus can fully take advantage of
this.

Please refer to the website
<https://cis.ua.edu/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-cis/discerning-diverse-voices-symposium-on-diversity/>
 for details of the conference, information about accessibility, and the
full program schedule (to be shared soon).

Please share this announcement widely! We look forward to seeing you all
there!

Sincerely,

Miriam Sweeney (Symposium Co-chair, with Alyx Vesey)
