Call for abstracts

Are you working on a project with a privacy perspective? Or are you curious to see what applying a privacy studies lens to your research might reveal?

We invite article abstracts and proposals for special issues on privacy in the past, the present, or the future for the Privacy Studies Journal volume 5 (2026) and 6 (2027).

The Privacy Studies Journal is dedicated to the study of privacy as an act of boundary drawing and the many ways in which this act influences political, social, and individual life. For the upcoming volumes, we are especially interested in different cultural understandings of privacy, privacy in colonial encounters, and privacy as a privilege.

The journal is interdisciplinary. We thus encourage projects that breach the boundaries of disciplinary fields, but also welcome field-specific submissions.

We publish on a rolling basis, and welcome abstracts for articles as well as ideas for special issues. Please note that if you decide to submit a special issue for the journal, we expect you to have the resources to conduct the editorial process.

To be considered for the Privacy Studies Journal volumes 5 and 6, please submit your abstract no later than 1 March 2026 for vol. 5 and 1 October 2026 for vol. 6.

Please contact assistant editor, Emma Klakk: emma.klakk@teol.ku.dk (cc editor Mette Birkedal Bruun: mbb@teol.ku.dk) if you have any questions about the call, the journal or its scope.
