*Contested Privacy Spaces: Privacy in Public Spaces * Book editors: Dr. Tjerk Timan, Dr. Bryce C. Newell, and Prof./Dr. Bert-Jaap Koops For this volume, we are seeking contributions on the topic of privacy in public spaces from a multitude of fields such as (but not limited to) law, regulation, geography, philosophy, information studies, or sociology. In this volume, we wish to explore how being anonymous and maintaining some expectation of privacy when moving around in physical public space is becoming more difficult due to all sorts of technological, digital infrastructures invading public space. Innovations such as social media, ubiquitous computing and smart sensing (sometimes grouped under the umbrella term of an "Internet-of-Things") are increasingly becoming common practice in public space. Not only does this entail new forms of physical products or devices that are 'smart' (e.g. are somehow connected to a network in which they can communicate to other 'things' and/or humans), this 'smartness' also entails all kinds of data sharing. This sharing takes place in public space, where boundaries of what is 'public' and what is 'private' become more difficult to establish. Both commercial parties and government institutions (often in collaboration) try to benefit from citizens sharing and spilling over their generated data in the grey area of 'public' space. In the process, citizens' private lives become more visible in the public space, and yet, are afforded very limited legal protection compared to private spaces. Conceptually, the book will analyze whether a metaphorical privacy bubble exists, or should exist, around a data-carrying citizen moving about in public space and if so, how such privacy bubbles can be conceptualized. *We welcome contributions that (illustrative):* - Re-conceptualize regulatory spaces of privacy - Offer theoretical accounts of privacy in (physical) public space - Reflect on the delimitation of (physical) public space - Discuss the changes in the role of privacy in public space and the role of public space for privacy - Discuss specific technologies or solutions deployed in public space that increase or alter the character of surveillance in public space - Describe recent trends developing in public space that have an impact on the standing and the role of privacy in public space - Offer thoughts on resilience in face of the changes in public space and particular means of resisting the privacy-intrusive technologies, solutions and trends in physical public space - Offer conceptual and/or theoretical effort in re-thinking privacy and privacy protection in public space *Guidelines for authors* - Authors interested in contributing a chapter should send an abstract (max *250 words*) of their chapter to Tjerk Timan ( [email protected]) no later than *25 January 2016.* The abstracts should include the name(s) and affiliation of the author(s), proposed title of their contribution and a description of the proposed chapter. - Authors will be informed no later than* 29 January 2016* on the acceptance of their abstract. - The deadline for submitting full chapters is *30 May 2016*. We will accept chapters of *between 6000 and 12000 words*. - Submitted chapters will be peer-reviewed and sent back to the authors no later than *15 July 2015* who will be given opportunity to process the comments before submitting their final versions by *31 August 2016*. - We aim for a reasonably short publication timeframe (with a specific date dependent on the selected publisher's publication schedule). *Editors: Dr. Tjerk Timan, Dr. Bryce C. Newell and Prof. Bert-Jaap Koops* *Publisher: *Our aim is to submit the book to a renowned publisher, we are considering Ashgate, Routledge or Oxford UP (we have begun initial discussions with multiple publishers, and will submit a formal proposal soon after filling the volume).
