Workshop Themes
Our workshop aims to address these challenges by bringing together a community of privacy scholars and industry practitioners to develop actionable recommendations on how best to conduct privacy research in the current social and technological landscape. We specifically focus on the following workshop themes:
Theme 1 - Improving Theories and Methods: How can we design privacy frameworks and approaches that generate more generalizable privacy knowledge?
Theme 2 - Making Societal Impact: How can we produce actionable privacy research that makes a real-world impact, engaging both policy and industry?
Theme 3 - Responding to an Evolving Technology Landscape: How can we produce privacy knowledge that reflects rapid technology shifts?
Theme 4 - Navigating Pluralism: How can we account for the plurality of privacy perspectives and experiences in privacy research and knowledge?
This workshop will make the following contributions:
Build a community of dedicated privacy researchers that can lead to new collaborations and mentorship opportunities for new privacy scholars.
Establish a knowledge base to help scholars conceptualize existing work and build on that literature.
Provide a roadmap for future research directions for the privacy community, outlining gaps and challenges in the domain.
Call for Participation
We will invite researchers, practitioners, policymakers, community partners, and other stakeholders with an interest or experience in online privacy. This one-day workshop aims to create a collaborative environment where participants can engage in interdisciplinary discussions, share their experiences, and contribute to the development of strategies and frameworks that advance the privacy research landscape.
Interested participants are asked to submit a brief statement of interest, demonstrating their alignment with the workshop goals. Submissions can take one of the following formats:
A short bio with a statement of motivation/interest for attending the workshop.
A position paper contributing to one or more themes described in this proposal.
A case study discussing ongoing or completed work on privacy.
We encourage submissions from individuals of diverse backgrounds, expertise, and experiences. Since workshop submissions are non-archival, we encourage participants to send their work in progress that has been submitted in previous venues. Submissions should be in PDF format and should include author names. Each submission will undergo review by two organizers, with acceptance based on the quality, relevance to workshop themes, and the potential for meaningful contributions to the workshop discussions and goals.
