how gender, care and safety is embodied in software based systems

Unworking the Institution: Gender, Technology, Power how gender, care and safety is embodied in software based systems

The contemporary institution is increasingly policed and maintained by technical methods and systems, such as management databases, immigration controls, and electronic barriers/access points. This practical workshop will explore how gender, care and safety is embodied in software based systems by tracing connections between personal and institutional practices of safety and care. It will use embodied mapping practices to bring out collective experiences, and group experiments/interventions to create potential responses to them This workshop is a parallel session of the conference "Institutions, Politics, Performance" that is taking place from 24 to 28 September 2015 in Athens. The talks will be in English. Everyone is welcome.

Hope Over Fear are organizing this 2015 event to coincide with the anniversary of the referendum and to make a clear statement that our journey to full Independence for our nation continues. Our First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has stated clearly that it will be the people of Scotland who will determine if and when there is an #indyref2. Lets fill Freedom Square and the surrounding streets of Glasgow on September 19th to make our voices heard. 2018 is an ideal year for #indyref2 as it is clear in terms of elections north and south of the border. (2016 Scottish parliament, 2017 Scottish council, 2019 English council and 2020 General election.) Join us on the Square with the message, #Indyref2 2018.

A full day conference with 5 different discussion panels

Class and nation in contemporary Scotland: day 2 A full day conference with 5 different discussion panels

Session 1, "Contemporary Racisms", speakers: Colin Clark, Nasar Meer, Gina Netto and Suki Sangha , chair: Ashli Mullen. Session 2, "Sectarianism – or anti-Irish Catholic Racism?", speakers: Maureen McBride, Michael Rosie, Satnam Virdee, chair: Minna Liinpää. Session 3, "Class, Inequality and Gentrification", speakers: Ewan Gibbs, Gerry Mooney and Kirsteen Paton, chair: Maureen McBride. Session 4, "Movements and Neoliberalism", speakers: Robin McAlpine, Sinead O'Donnell Dunn, Jonathon Shafi, chair: Neil Davidson. Session 5, "Did the Yes Campaign Represent the Triumph of Nation over Class?", speakers: Neil Davidson and John Foster, chair: Satnam Virdee. Concluding remarks and close of conference, speaker: Bridget Fowler. The Independence Referendum campaign of 2014 and the British General Election of 2015 have transformed Scottish politics: the former giving rise to a social movement comparable to those of Spain and Greece, the latter consolidating the rise of the SNP signalling the collapse of the once-mighty Scottish Labour Party into electoral irrelevance. Yet the underlying sociological changes beneath these events have received relatively little attention. In particular,while fantastical claims about Scotland being dominated by increasingly affluent middle-class professionals have not survived the recession, nothing has replaced them, and discussions of the Yes vote and SNP's current hegemony simply assume that this is the result of a turn to 'nationalism' when in fact it reflects, at least in part, a search for a social democratic alternative to Labour. This conference seeks to address these issues of class structure and national identity, and related issues of racism, sectarianism and mass movements. Open to both academics and activists, we intend that our programme of lectures, panels and debates - all followed by open discussion - will contribute to deepening public understanding of the 'New Scotland'.

ECAP are calling a solidarity demo for this Monday 14th at 9am at High Riggs Jobcentre

Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty #AdvocacyIsNotACrime! ECAP are calling a solidarity demo for this Monday 14th at 9am at High Riggs Jobcentre

SOLIDARITY DEMO CALL FOR 9am MONDAY 14th SEPTEMBER AT HIGH RIGGS JOB CENTRE The entire ground floor of Edinburgh's High Riggs Jobcentre was closed down for almost three hours on 10th September as Jobcentre managers called in police and refused to permit a jobseeker to exercise his right to be accompanied to an appointment. Members of Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty defied threats of arrest and stayed in the jobcentre to support the claimant and the ECAP advocate. Now ECAP are calling a solidarity demo for this Monday 14th at 9am at High Riggs Jobcentre, when the jobseeker, Adam, will attend his rearranged appointment, once more accompanied by an ECAP advocate. ECAP say: “We will not be intimidated by the DWP bullies, G4S security or the police. We will assert claimants’ right to be accompanied. The DWP themselves state: "Claimants accessing Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits and services can have someone to accompany them to act on their behalf..”

On Saturday we are going to stand in George Square, opposite the City Chambers. We are each going to bring a candle so we can light a light for the many who have died in their attempts at safety while our government has done very little.

Glasgow Sees Syria On Saturday we are going to stand in George Square, opposite the City Chambers. We are each going to bring a candle so we can light a light for the many who have died in their attempts at safety while our government has done very little.

If you would like to join us in peacefully telling our Politicians that the people of Glasgow will not abide the Home Office decision to help so few refugees I would love to see you there with a candle. Please share and invite people to this event. REGARDING THE NAME Semantics are important. We have seen how words can be used to influence people's feelings and actions towards a situation. Multi media is stuck in a refugee/migrant battle of semantics. Both of these words are being misunderstood. Both of these words are also a label, they remove the humanity from a person and make them a thing. If we could call the event Glasgow Sees Syria/Palestine/Libya/Afganistan/Somalia (how sad that the list goes on) we would. But ultimately we wanted to convey firstly that we see what is going on in the world and secondly that we don't see our fellow humans as refugees but as people who came from a place. At the moment there are an estimated 11 million displaced Syrians, 4 million of them have been displaced outside of their home country. This is an overwhelming number of people, this is a crisis that we can not ignore. The name is Glasgow Sees Syria but in doing so we see every person who has lost their home. We light a candle for all people in this situation and in doing so tell our Government WE SEE!

Andy Wightman is an expert on land ownership in Scotland and what he addresses in his books and articles is how power is exercised in Scotland through Land; in our past and to this day and have attempts to redistribute this power more equitably made any difference? These are the questions that have beset Andy for the last 20 years: Who Owns Scotland? How did they get it? What happened to all the common land in Scotland? Has the Scottish Parliament made any difference? Can we get our common good land back? For all those with an interest in urban and rural land in Scotland and the current Land Reform Bill- Andy provides a fascinating and illuminating discussion on one of the most important and pressing political questions in Scotland - Who owns Scotlands Land and how this matters in the 21st Century

part of the #OurLand campaign highlighting the dereliction in cities

#BeBrave Leith part of the #OurLand campaign highlighting the dereliction in cities

Join Andy Wightman and Our Land activists this Friday to show solidarity with the Our Land Campaign in Scotland. The event is on part of the failed Waterfront development. The land was acquired for over £3 million in 2008 and, following the financial crash, was sold to Sapphire Land Ltd., registered in the British Virgin Islands for £327,916 in 2012. The British Virgin Islands is designated a “secrecy jurisdiction” so no information is available about who controls the company. Offshore companies are often used to launder money and evade tax. This 'secrecy jurisdiction' is one of the five asks the Our Land campaign are asking for (find out more here http://www.ourland.scot/2015/08/asks/), and has been chosen to highlight how important this issue is in both urban and rural Scotland today. This campaign is depending on local activists to make the event a great success, so get stuck in, and help us show how much Scotland needs land reform.
