[Air-L] Final call for papers to the 2026 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) - 

Might I give as a paper the first chapter in Part 2 of my "Society, Information Technology and the Global University"  book (possibly in 2026, or 2027) at 2026 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety), which will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 13th-15th? 


Greetings Harry and AoIR colleagues, 

Greetings from the SF Bay Area near Berkeley and Stanford.

Just beginning part 2 of my "Society, Information Technology and the Global University"  book (Academic Press at World University and School, 2026, forthcoming) on the global university and World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, and planned in all 200 countries, and in their main languages for free-to-students' Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high sch / similar (for 16-19 year olds), AA / AS, and Master's degrees - and wiki schools for people-to-people wiki-teaching and wiki-learning in all 7159 known living languages. In a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, World University and School is seeking to facilitate highest quality free universal education from home, and in seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - for a variety of reasons.  Much of MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School will also grow in a #RealisticVirtualEarth and think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, and with TensorFlow AI and STEM field sites, and classrooms etc too; and please see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI" #WorldUniversityInSchool updated March 2, 2024 - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - where he mentions a realistic virtual earth for the first time other than WUaS that I know of.


Might I give as a paper the first chapter in Part 2 of my "Society, Information Technology and the Global University"  book (possibly in 2026, or 2027) at 2026 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety), which will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 13th-15th? You'll find a Google Docs' link here in World University and School's 12/15/25 Weekly Business Meeting Agenda item A to the first 8 chapters for my book - 
https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/12/brooks-range-ak-m-121525-and-1525-open.html - for which I'm happy to share permissions, if you or AoIR researchers might be interested. World University and School's OPEN Weekly Business Meetings are loosely conducted in the Manner of Friends / unprogrammed Quakers Monthly Business Meeting ... and I'm wondering too Harry Dyer, with your somewhat Quaker last name (re Friend Mary Dyer in the 1650s) whether you might have Quaker ancestry that even informs your Digital Sociology research and related academic querying. (I've also lived for 2 full years studying in Edinburgh, Scotland -where I became a member of the RSOF Religious Society of Friends in 2004 -  and would be interested in sharing my "Society, Information Technology and the Global University"  book in Scotland, for example; Harry Dyer, do you have Friendly Quaker affinities by any chance?).

Here's the very beginning of 
free Scotland World University and School - 
and as LLMs too ...

and check out the Academic Subjects here - 
(planned in all 7159 known living languages)

and for their MIT OCW courses, eventually for credit for free WUaS degrees re these versions of OpenCourseWare - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ & https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/

with an invitation to begin a wiki WUaS subject too about something you love to teach and learn about, or something you have expertise in, and in your languages.


How best to proceed please? Might it be possible to share this paper via a video component to the 2026 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety)?

Thanks, 
Scott

Dear AoIR community,

This is a final announcement for paper submissions for the 2026 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety), which will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 13th-15th. As a reminder, the deadline for extended abstract submissions (1000-1500 words abstracts) is Monday, January 26, 2026 at midnight (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time). We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you in Glasgow!

#SMSociety is a biennial gathering of leading social media researchers from around the world. It is the premier venue for sharing and discovering new peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research on how social media affects society. #SMSociety provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers.

Introducing the Anemoia Device, a scent-memory machine that uses generative AI to distill photographs into bespoke fragrances.

✺ Register your interest: https://cyrus.website/anemoia-device/

Guided by language models, a dial-based interface, and a custom olfactory formulation system, each image becomes a singular scent composition — a multisensory memory that evokes anemoia: nostalgia for a moment you never lived.
