Greetings! My name is Jeremy Zimmett and I am the guest editor for a special issue of the Journal of Information Ethics. Chief Editor Robert Hauptman and I are soliciting articles on The Ethics of Identity, Data, and Information for Fall 2023.
JIE is a scholarly, non-peer reviewed journal that focuses on interdisciplinary ethical issues in information sciences. JIE does not charge article processing fees and pays a $50 (USD) honorarium to each author.
This special issue will address how identity intersects with data and information ethics. We welcome articles and columns that touch upon the following questions: How do issues of identity complicate, inflame, or disrupt the dissemination of information? What is the (un)ethical relationship between data and self-embodiment? How do information and data (de)construct individuality online, in business, or in everyday life?
Areas of exploration could include, but are not limited to:
• The intersection of gender, sexuality, race, and other markers of identity with information/data
• Algorithmic bias or technological identity politics
• Consumerism, targeted advertisements, and neoliberalism
• Social media’s role in misinformation and reality distortion
• Extended, augmented, or virtual reality’s impact on self-embodiment
Submission Guidelines
The deadline for abstracts (300-500 words) is February 15, 2023. The guest editor will evaluate the abstracts and notify authors of acceptance by February 22, 2023.
