Balancing between opportunities and risks?
Multidisciplinary conference
May 27th-28th 2010
Antwerp, Belgium*
http://www.ucsia.org/eyouth
UCSIA and the University of Antwerp are pleased to announce the
organisation of a two-day international, multidisciplinary conference on
children, adolescents & ICT.
We welcome a broad audience including researchers, educators, students,
policy makers, NGO and industry representatives to share research
results and discuss policy and educational issues regarding children’s
and adolescents’ use of information and communication technologies.
The conference will focus on national and international research dealing
with social, cultural, economic, legal, psychological and ethical issues
regarding youngsters’ uses of various internet applications and mobile
telephony. Contributions on both the multiple opportunities offered by
technologies and on the (new) risks youngsters are confronted with are
welcomed. Research and initiatives concerning the educational and
mediating role of parents and educators will be discussed as well. The
conference will also provide a forum for good practices of sensitizing
or educational campaigns.
Oral presentations, posters and demonstrations can be submitted about
-but not limited to- the following issues:
1. Youngsters and ICT: a heterogeneous group
gap in access and competences – social differences – distributive
(in-)justice
2. Youngsters and ICT: developmental changes and related needs
the construction of the self and social networks – self-disclosure and
privacy – sexual exploration – technological and social normativity –
entertainment and education needs
3. Youngsters and ICT: a vulnerable (target) group?
electronic marketing – riskful contacts (harassment, racism,
cyberbullying, ...)
4. Youngsters and ICT: awareness, protection and empowerment
perception of ICT-related risks – parental mediation – sensitizing and
educational campaigns
5. Youngsters and ICT: ethical and legal issues
Adapting research methods – ethical issues – legislation, self- and
co-regulation
