Call for Chapters: Edited book, “Social Informatics”

Call for Chapters: Edited book, “Social Informatics”

Proposals Submission Deadline: September 10, 2023

Full Chapters Due: February 1, 2024

We solicit chapter proposals for an edited book about Social Informatics. We have a contract with Routledge and committed contributors, but a few more chapters can help us expand the scope and reach of the book.

This edited volume aims to present a social informatics approach to understand emerging issues related to digital technologies. Social informatics examines how society is shaped by digital technologies as well as how digital technologies are shaped by political, economic and socio-cultural forces. Taking a social informatics perspective, this edited volume investigates the interaction between society and digital technologies, including pervasive mobile and wearable devices, social media, artificial intelligence, and big data.

We invite chapter proposals that make theoretical contribution or contribute empirical work with a social informatics perspective on data, ethics, or social justice, or more broadly proposals that focus on Computerization and mobilization in everyday contexts.

The deadline to submit a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words, clearly explaining the purpose and context of their proposed chapter, is on or before September 10, 2023. Authors will be notified by September 25, 2023, about the status of their chapter proposals. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by February 1, 2024.

Please send a chapter proposal along with a short author(s) bio to Noriko Hara (nhara@indiana.edu) AND Pnina Fichman (fichman@indiana.edu). Any questions are welcome.
