Changing minds online – 3rd Tilburg Symposium on Digital Humanities
When: 15th (Tilburg University) and 16th (online) June 2023

When we go online, our minds are subject to a variety of mechanisms,
influencing our browsing behaviours, emotions, and beliefs. Search engine
optimization, misinformation, echo chambers, filter bubbles, recommendation
systems, and other algorithmically generated choice architectures nudge us to
follow specific epistemic paths. Some of these mechanisms are perhaps
unintended, whereas others are intended and exist because of financial,
political, or ideological reasons. Our interactions with the online world
shape who we are, what we feel, and what we think. This symposium aims to
better understand the effects of the online world on our minds and to evaluate
these effects. We focus on the following questions:
- What is the nature of online belief-forming mechanisms?
- What is the nature of online decision-making processes?
- How do online mechanisms influence our autonomy and freedom?
- What are the epistemic, affective, moral, and political harms caused by
online
mechanisms?

With this event, we aim to answer the above questions from a variety of
disciplinary perspectives. We invite speakers to present on a broad range of
topics including, but not limited to, the cognitive (e.g., studies of
processes of beliefs and affects), arts and media (e.g., the aesthetics or
cultural practices of manipulation, AI-generated art, deepfakes),
philosophical (e.g., analyses of the epistemic nature of online beliefs and
moral undesirability of online manipulation), artificial Intelligence (e.g.,
the nature and properties of algorithms, possible role of artificial
intelligence tools in facilitating/preventing manipulation online) and
communication and information studies (e.g., online misinformation and social
media). Submitted papers should feature digital humanities methods or include
reflections on digital media and technologies.

This two-day (June 15th and 16th), hybrid symposium—part on-site at the campus
of Tilburg University, part online—brings together scholars from a range of
disciplines, including Philosophy, Culture Studies, Data Science, Artificial
Intelligence, Cultural, Literary and Media Studies, Communication and
Information Sciences, and Cognitive Science, to engage in a cross-disciplinary
dialogue on these matters. The event includes keynotes, a range of talks, and
poster presentations on Digital Humanities research.

Send your abstract to digitalhumanities2023 at gmail.com no later than Friday,
April 7th at 23:59. Submissions should include a title, the list of authors, a
contact e-mail, an abstract of no more than 500 words. References can of
course be included and are excluded from the word count. A notification of
acceptance will be communicated on Friday, April 28th, 2023.
