> The blurb:
> The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was
> the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global
> perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. This
> second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and
> scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes,
> particularly
> the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also
> benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material,
> incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ?watershed?
> events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook,
> Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the
> U.S., the E.U., and Asia.
>   New for the second edition are sections on friendship online,
> democratization, and ?citizen journalism? and its implications for
> traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on
> the
> ?ethical toolkit?, this book will also introduce students to prevailing
> ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in
> digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright,
> pornography
> and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online.
>   Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and
> theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions
> that foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these
> issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter includes additional

> Scope
> **************************
> Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI
> community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized
> approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user involvement in
> the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users
> or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term
> engagements with communities to define research questions and study
> deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field,
> however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in
> research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science,
> participatory and performance arts, international development, and action
> research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from
> funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the
> public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn
> attention to the potential benefits and challenges
>  , both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI
> research.
>
> While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can
> offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions
> in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically
> reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The
> mundane yet still significant details of how participatory HCI research is
> performed are rarely documented and discussed by the community. The coming
> together of multiple perspectives from different disciplines ? some of
> which have existing frameworks, some debate the very notion of
> participation ? provides an opportunity for HCI researchers to reflect
> critically on how people are involved in design processes. Specifically, we
> call attention to the following three phases of performing participatory
> HCI research:
>
> How we begin:
> How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants,
> or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who
> here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or
> what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and
> assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are
> certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?
>
> How we reflex and reflect:
> How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of
> participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How
> are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon
> the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design
> process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it
> and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice
> as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory
> work along the way without skewing the process itself?
>
> How we end:
> How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should
> be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the
> practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is
> sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research,
> and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a
> context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or
> intervention?

> **************************
> Topics
> **************************
> This special issue aims to present a set of high quality, thought
> provoking, original research articles that address one or more of these
> stages through topics including, but not limited to:
> -- Empirical studies collaborating with organizations and communities in
> the design or evaluation of new technologies.
> -- Studies of participatory HCI that target specific populations or
> communities, such as older people, young people, activist groups,
> charities, rural communities, among others.
> -- Theoretical and conceptual frameworks that unpack the questions and
> related problems of participation as a process.
> -- Critical reflections on existing and historical examples of
> participation in HCI.
> -- Strategies for documenting and eliciting reflection from both
> researchers and participants engaged in research.
> -- Considerations of the ethical, moral and political implications of
> designing technologies with communities of users and stakeholders.
> -- Interdisciplinary perspectives on participatory HCI research.
> -- Case studies discussing experiences of beginning, reflecting on or
> sustaining participatory HCI research.
>
> It is anticipated that submissions will tackle at least one stage of
