*Call for symposium on the control of children’s data

Controlling Data: Somebody think of the children

Edith Cowan University in Perth Western Australia welcomes you to an academic discussion about the privacy and security of children’s data. The 2016 Controlling Data symposium <http://www.ecu.edu.au/conferences/2016/controlling-data-somebody-think-of-the-children/about> will address the problematic relationship that users of digital technologies have with the information held about their conduct, contacts and the contents of what they produce and circulate online.Whilst this is a complex issue for adults, an additional level of uncertainty is introduced when the users are minors and, especially, when they are pre-schoolers. What do we know about who controls the information produced by or with children in their digital explorations? Are remedies available to address the gaps in transparency and accountability and, if so, do they offer a solution? How accessible are such strategies for parents, caregivers and young people themselves?

This event is proudly sponsored by the Centre for Research in Entertainment, Arts, Technology, Education and Communications (Edith Cowan University) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation. It will be held on the 24^th and 25^th October 2016 and the Vines Resort <https://www.vines.com.au/>, Western Australia (spring in the Swan Valley).

If you are interested in contributing to a high quality peer-reviewed publication on the topic, please submit a 250 word abstract to (k.jaunzems /at/ ecu.edu.au) <mailto:(k.jaunzems /at/ ecu.edu.au)> by, Monday 29^th August 2016.

For further information please get in touch with Kelly Jaunzems at the address above.
