*Melbourne, Australia*

*Call for proposals*
Deadline: Friday 5th June
Notification of acceptance: Monday 29th June

We are pleased to announce the inaugural Swinburne Internet Policy
Workshop, organised by the Swinburne Institute of Social Research’s Digital
Society group and generously sponsored by auDA. The workshop is organised
in conjunction with auDA’s Australian Governance Forum (to be held in
Melbourne on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th October 2015). This is an
opportunity for scholars with a research interest in Internet policy to
explore research aspects of the auIGF’s agenda and other Internet policy
issues.

We are currently seeking submissions on the broad theme of Internet policy
research and particularly welcome contributions which look at Internet
policy topics in Australia and the broader Asia Pacific region.
Accordingly, authors are invited to submit abstracts on a broad spectrum of
Internet policy topics that include, but are not restricted to:

·         Intellectual property and the Internet
·         The Internet economy
·         Data retention, surveillance and privacy
·         Internet governance, domain names
·         Net neutrality
·         Digital society
·         Digital inclusion


*   Emerging Scholars stream*
   The first day of the workshop will be an opportunity for emerging
scholars (PhD candidates and recent doctoral graduates) to present a paper
on their current research on Internet policy themes, and receive feedback
on their work from a discussant. Emerging scholars will also have the
opportunity to engage with senior academics and other emerging scholars in
a relaxed and supportive environment.

We encourage academic researchers from all relevant disciplines to send
proposals of no more than 500 words and a short bio statement to Dr Angela
Daly (acdaly at swin.edu.au

by *Friday 5**th** June*. If applicants wish to be considered for the
Emerging Scholars stream, please state this clearly. Please note that
papers for the Emerging scholars stream will be due on *Friday 18**th**
September*. We intend to publish selected papers from both days in a
special edition of a highly ranked peer-reviewed journal.
