Call for Participation: Privacy in Context: Critically Engaging with Theory to Guide Privacy Research and Design
This site contains information related to the 2018 workshop on networked privacy. This year’s workshop, being held at CSCW in Jersey City on November 3rd, is titled, “Privacy in Context: Critically Engaging with Theory to Guide Privacy Research and Design.”
Privacy has been a key research theme in the CSCW and HCI communities, but the term is often used in an ad hoc and fragmented way. This is likely due to the fact that privacy is a complex and multi-faceted concept. This one-day workshop will facilitate discourse around key privacy theories and frameworks that can inform privacy research with the goal of producing guidelines for privacy researchers on how and when to incorporate which theories into various aspects of their empirical privacy research. This will lay the groundwork to move the privacy field forward. To inspire participants and spark discussion, we will have a special keynote speaker, Dr. Helen Nissenbaum, engage with the audience about her renowned Contextual Integrity framework. Dr. Nissenbaum is a Professor of Information Science at Cornell Tech and her framework focuses on understanding privacy expectations and their implications.
