Topic
This is an agenda exploring and an agenda setting session to consider questions that may face privacy researchers post-pandemic. The field of digital privacy is driven by technological and policy changes with a lot of empirical privacy research focused on either historical or current socio-technical developments. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a potential pivotal moment in our collective relationship with technology, particularly when it comes to privacy, which emphasizes the need to think about the emerging future-oriented privacy research agenda.
Key Questions
- What are some potential long term repercussions of the pandemic for practices, attitudes, and perceptions of digital privacy?
- What research questions are rising from the rapid shift towards adoption and use of mediated communication?
- How may policy and technological solutions, developed during the pandemic affect digital privacy practice and research in the post-Corona days.
- Which emerging research questions about digital privacy may benefit from a comparative perspective?
