Symposium on Digital Ethics on November 9th, 2018.  The keynote speaker 
will be Catherine D'Ignazio, Principal Investigator at the Emerson 
Engagement Lab <http://engagementgamelab.org/>.

This year we are partnering with the Journal of Media Ethics on a theme: 
/From the Margins/.  We are looking for papers on digital ethics that 
focus on the discrimination, harassment, marginalization of people 
because of gender, sexual orientation or racial-ethnic background.  The 
best of these will be presented at the symposium and will be considered 
for inclusion in a planned special issue of the /Journal of Media 
Ethics/ on the symposium theme.

We will also consider other scholarly work on topics such as privacy, 
anonymity, griefing, free speech, intellectual property, hacking, 
scamming, surveillance, information mining, transparency, digital 
citizenship, or anything else relating to ethical questions and digital 
technology.  This is an interdisciplinary symposium, we welcome all 
backgrounds and approaches to research.

Abstracts should propose original research that has not been presented 
or published elsewhere.  The abstract should be between 500 and 1,000 
words in length (not including references) and should include a 
discussion of the methodology used.Authors of accepted papers will be

symposium.  The author(s) of the top student paper will be eligible for
