Title: Comparative Privacy and the Literacies of a Networked Age: A 
Critical Approach

Location: OFF-SITE | Université de Haute-Alsace, UHA’s Campus Fonderie – 
FSESJ (Faculté des Sciences Economiques Sociales et Juridiques), 16, rue

Detailed information on the pre-conference is available at: 
https://comparativeprivacy.org/2022-ica-preconference/

This pre-conference aims to attend to privacy literacy’s critical 
comparative nature by bringing together scholars that examine the 
cultural, political, and otherwise contextualized aspects of privacy 
literacy. The ultimate goal is to enhance conversation in communication 
studies about the ways in which systematic comparative cross-cultural 
analyses of privacy literacy may be conceptualized, theorized, and 
operationalized in novel ways. This pre-conference will be organized in 
two parts: First, keynotes will provide inputs on the central issues and 
concepts involved, such as privacy, comparative research, and media 
literacy. Secondly, interactive sessions will focus on three main 
aspects of comparative privacy literacy research, namely: 
conceptualization, operationalization, and collaboration. These sessions 
will bring together competitively selected presentations followed by a 
discussion on the challenges of conceptualizing and operationalizing 
critical privacy literacy from a cross-cultural perspective. The 
presentation sessions will be followed by group activities where 
participants will discuss solutions to particular challenges. This final 
session will take the form of a guided discussion in the larger group 
that will build on the diversity of the group in order to consider new, 
future-oriented research questions and forge future collaborations.

Submission: This pre-conference invites unpublished, innovative papers 
focusing on, but not limited to:
- research on media/digital literacy and mediated communication, where 
knowledge or skills regarding privacy plays a role;
- empirical studies focusing on privacy literacy in a comparative fashion;
- current and new topics for literacies, including the digital ecology, 
sobriety, algorithmic and privacy literacies, as well as persistent 
areas of inequalities ;
- challenges and opportunities represented by comparative approaches to 
studying privacy from a literacy perspective;
- qualitative and/or quantitative methodological approaches to studying 
privacy and relevant literacies comparatively;
- challenges and opportunities represented by comparative approaches to 
studying privacy and related literacies;
discussions of pertinent dimensions of comparative privacy research;
- explorations of potential antecedents, mediators, and outcomes of 
privacy-related perceptions, decision-making, and behavior;
conceptualizations and interpretations of privacy and privacy outcomes 
in non-WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic) contexts.

Both early-career and senior scholars are welcome.
