Call for Participation, ALISE 2017, Atlanta, GA

Posted May 19, 2016

January 17 – January 20, 2017

Conference Theme: Community Engagement & Social Responsibility

http://www.alise.org

DEADLINE: July 1, 2016

The ALISE Information Ethics SIG calls for participation at the annual ALISE conference in Atlanta, GA. We invite people to submit proposals that are in keeping with the conference theme: Community Engagement & Social Responsibility. Of particular interest are papers and presentations which focus on the ethical tensions that arise from community engagement initiatives or social responsibility concepts. Ethical crises emerge when two or more values or principles conflict, or when the consequences of an action are ethically ambivalent. The SIG session will be an opportunity to consider some of these ethical complexities, and consider how to approach them in teaching, research, and practice.

Submission Guidelines

All proposals for IE SIG sessions should be submitted by July 1, 2016 to John Burgess ([email protected]).  In the subject line please indicate:  IE SIG Proposal. ALISE members interested in presenting during the Information Ethics SIG session should submit an abstract of their research consisting of no more than 500 words. The co-conveners will review all submissions and select those to be in the session proposals for the Information Ethics SIG. All individuals who submit a proposal will be notified of the conveners’ decision by July 15. Final notification of acceptance of the Information Ethics SIG programs will be shared by September 15, 2016.

Please address any questions or comments to the Information Ethics SIG co-conveners:
