Call for Book Chapter Proposals: The Whole World is Watching Live--Legal
and Ethical Issues of Live Streaming

On August 28, 1968, when anti-war demonstrators were beaten by police
outside the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago where the Democratic National
Convention was held, demonstrators chanted, "The whole world is watching."
The incident was recorded by television crews, and the footage of the
incident was broadcast subsequently.  Due to the broadcast, the chant
became famous.

"The whole world is watching" takes on a new meaning in the 2010s with the
use of live streaming on social media.  Personal activities, social
movements, and even crimes can now be and are live streamed.  The most
shocking incident was the live streaming of mass shooting in Christchurch,
New Zealand, on March 15, 2019.  Although live streaming crime is not new,
live streaming mass shooting is.

In light of this tragedy, my colleagues and I would like to invite
researchers to help shed light on legal and ethical issues of live
streaming.  Topics to be addressed include, but not limited to:

- Live streaming and crime

- Live streaming and deviance

- Live streaming and celebritism

- Live streaming and evidences

- Live streaming and (eye)witness

- Social control of live streaming

- Sharing live streamed videos

- Social media and hate crime

- Social media and white nationalism

- Social media and "friends"

- Social media and positive communication

We are seeking book chapter proposals for an edited volume, The Whole World
is Watching Live: Legal and Ethical Issues of Live Streaming.  Any
theoretical perspective is welcome.  No preference on research methods
either.

If interested, please send a proposal of no more than 500 words to Sarina
Chen, sarina.chen at uni.edu, by *May 15, 2019*.
