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.
