A sample of what we're interested in include:


  *   how writing educators, WPAs, and administrators address ways surveillance and privacy impact student & faculty composing acts and student identity formation.
  *   how community members respond to local to national events where acts of sur- and sous-veillance occur to protect the interests of those in authority and those of the citizenry, e.g., Ferguson, Flint, and online.
  *   ways surveillance impact culture(s) and influence daily habits and/or lives as it connects to digital rhetoric and writing, e.g., algorithmic discrimination, fitness trackers, Internet of Things objects, social media habits, intellectual property.
  *   how digital rhetoric and writing scholars/educators inform public and private industries to make reforms to surveillance practices.
<mailto:digitalwriting at protonmail.com>The deadline for 500-word proposals of webtexts is October 17, 2016. Notifications to authors will occur on December 19, 2016 and draft chapters are due April 17, 2017.
