Questions relating to the everyday management of information flows and information boundaries, by individuals or organizations, have increasingly moved into the focus of communication and media research. The political implications of data protection, which is the focus of this workshop, call for scholarly attention. Abstracts on issues such as data protection as design, everyday data protection-related media practices, discourses and ideologies that shape the practice of data protection, as well as contributions with further topic references, can be submitted until July 15, 2019 to politicsofprivacy [at] uni-mainz.de. Selected contributions will be chosen to be published in a special issue of the open-access journal Media and Communication. The publication is planned for June 2020. Questions concerning the workshop and the planned publication will be answered by Johanna E. Möller, johanna.moeller [at] uni-mainz.de.
