However, up till now, this debate has been dominated by ‘Western’ ethical perspectives, to the exclusion of broader ethical and socio-cultural perspectives. This imbalance carries risks, particularly where the ethical norms and values designed into these technologies collide with those of the communities in which they are delivered and deployed. This edited collection seeks to fill this crucial gap in the literature on digital ethics by bringing together a range of cultural, social and structural perspectives on the ethical issues relating to digital information technologies. It forms part of an ongoing research project at the Digital Ethics Lab, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford on intercultural digital ethics (see further<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://digitalethicslab.oii.ox.ac.uk/intercultural-digital-ethics-symposium/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk96666" previewremoved="true">https://digitalethicslab.oii.ox.ac.uk/intercultural-digital-ethics-symposium/</a>).<o:p class=""></o:p></div><br class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b class="">TOPICS</b><o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The journal seeks submissions of research articles (approximately 8,000 words, but this is flexible) and commentaries (approximately 4,000 words) that engage with the theme of intercultural digital ethics, including but not limited to:<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">•<span class=""> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Why is a pluralistic ethical approach important in understanding the impact of digital technologies?
