Greetings colleagues,

See attached a call for book chapter proposals. Please excuse any cross 
postings, and feel free to contact Emily Knox knox at illinois.edu 
<mailto:knox at illinois.edu> and myself jtfburgess at ua.edu 
<mailto:jtfburgess at ua.edu> if you have any questions about this project.

*Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Fundamentals of Information Ethics for 
the Information Fields*


This call is for book chapter proposals for an edited information ethics 
textbook. /Fundamentals of Information Ethics for the Information 
Fields/ would serve as a guided outline for instructors to use when 
developing course content for either standalone information ethics 
courses or information ethics modules within fields such as library and 
information science and computer science. Since many graduate students 
in the information fields lack the background in philosophy or ethics 
needed to quickly understand primary philosophical source material each 
chapter author would be called on to provide a clear introduction to a 
single information ethics concept.


Examples of possible core IE concepts include, but are not limited to:

· *  Digital divide*

·      Data Ethics

·      Intellectual Property

·      Privacy & Surveillance

·      Information Access

· * Global citizenship
*
·      Institutional ethics

·      Ethics of the organization of information

·      Ethics and archival studies

·      Cognitive justice


Authors would be asked to contribute a scholarly analysis of the 
concept, including summarizing its intellectual history, noting major 
contributors to its growth. Once the background information 
is presented, the chapter author is then encouraged to encapsulate 
continuing issues and concerns relevant to their concept. (For example 
a critique of traditional digital divide narratives from the standpoint 
of critical race theory, or considering issues of privacy and 
surveillance in neo-capitalist societies) This will allow authors to 
contribute their own expert knowledge on the subject, while providing 
content to stimulate classroom discussion. In this way, the volume able 
to reflect a wider variety of approaches to information ethics research 
from diverse scholarly perspectives.

This textbook will be edited by Dr. John Burgess, University of Alabama 
and Dr. Emily Knox, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 
response to a proposal request solicited by MIT Press, with an 
anticipated publication date of 2017.

  Chapter proposals should include a 500-word abstract summarizing both 
the information ethics concept and approach to emerging issues the 
chapter will cover. Please direct inquiries and chapter proposals to 
John Burgess jtfburgess at ua.edu <mailto:jtfburgess at ua.edu> and Emily Knox 
knox at illinois.edu <mailto:knox at illinois.edu>



*Deadline for proposal submissions is Friday April 22nd, 2016.*
