[Commlist] CFA 9th International Symposium on Digital Ethics

CFA 9th International Symposium on Digital Ethics, Loyola University Chicago

The Center for Digital Ethics & Policy at Loyola University Chicago 
(digitalethics.org <https://www.digitalethics.org>) will be holding its 
9th annual International Symposium on Digital Ethics on November 7th and 
8th 2019. This year, we are inviting research teams consisting of one 
senior and one junior scholar to submit a research proposal.

We are looking for papers on digital ethics. Topics might include but 
are not limited to privacy, hate speech, fake news, platform ethics, 
AI/robotics/algorithms, predictive analytics, native advertising online, 
influencer endorsements, predictive analytics, VR, intellectual 
property, hacking, scamming, surveillance, information mining, data 
protection, shifting norms in journalism and advertising, transparency, 
digital citizenship, or anything else relating to ethical questions 
raised by digital technology. This is an interdisciplinary symposium, we 
welcome all backgrounds and approaches to research.

Researchers can either submit a proposal as a team (consisting of one 
junior and one senior scholar) or individually. In the latter case, 
organizers will match submitters up with a partner based on 
compatibility of the proposal. Five teams will be selected to present 
completed research at the symposium and critique each others’ work 
during five 75-minute sessions. After further review, the articles will 
be eligible for inclusion in a special issue of the /Journal of Media 
Ethics/.

For the purposes of this symposium, we define “senior scholars” as 
 researchers who have been employed as a full-time faculty member for 
five years or more. “Junior scholars” have not met this threshold or are 
currently enrolled in a doctoral program.

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. Please also submit a current C.V. of 
all authors with the abstract. Abstracts are due on May 20, 
notifications will be sent out by June 5. Completed papers will be due 
by October 15.

Organizers will cover lodging for two nights and most meals and will 
provide small stipends to symposium participants.

Send your submission in a MS Word document attachment, with /Digital 
Ethics Symposium submission /in the subject line to (bvanacker /at/ luc.edu). 
All other questions and inquiries can also be sent to the same email 
address.
