Virtual Paper Development Conference:Call for Papers

The virtual conference presented by the Business and Labour History Group<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbusiness-comms.sydney.edu.au%2Flink%2Fid%2Fzzzz618c4b7d9ae76788Pzzzz6126d69c044bd475%2Fpage.html&data=04%7C01%7Cjanet.toland%40vuw.ac.nz%7Ce0f33e5e4a9d4c0f96c908d9a49bcddd%7Ccfe63e236951427e8683bb84dcf1d20c%7C0%7C0%7C637721811415068564%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=mtoz1aqQLyTS9Y4NsKVWX0MliD4jptd5at1McMQAyHk%3D&reserved=0> at the University of Sydney Business School, is based on the theme of Histories of Computing in Oceania, in line with the upcoming special issue of the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing.

The region of Oceania includes Australasia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. To date, the history of computing in this vast and relatively lowly populated region is underrepresented, notwithstanding recent efforts to expand the geographical scope of the history of computing. The geographical characteristics of Oceania have facilitated the development of innovative, interesting (and often unique) patterns of information and knowledge exchange. For instance, despite limited interaction with work undertaken overseas, Trevor Pearcey built CSIR Mark 1, the first digital stored program computer in the world that played music, in Australia between 1947-49. Nonetheless, representations of these important contributions made to the history of computing in Oceania in the academic discourse are still scant.

For the virtual conference we are seeking the submission of extended abstracts on the broader theme of the special issue. The conference seeks to expand on the currently sparse discourse on the history of computing in Oceania. For an overview of some of the existing literature please look at the selective bibliography below. We endeavour to document a history currently often only published in grey literature. Examples of topic include but are by no means limited to:
Historical, post-colonial, and regional perspectives on the development, appropriation, and use of computing technologies in Oceania;

  *   The regional, national, or transnational politics of computing and telecommunications;
  *   Exploration of multinational versus local initiatives;
  *   National and international transfer of technologies, knowledge, and people;
  *   Critical analyses of the development of computing education;
  *   Studies of community computing, ICT4D, and the role of NGOs; and
  *   Histories and critical analyses of digital initiatives that involve Indigenous people.

Important Dates
