In our knowledge society, our networked selves continually create and are created through data. In light of the ubiquity of data in  the contemporary world, the ethical creation, dissemination, use, and storage of data continues to be an area of concern.  The focus of the 2017 roundtable will be on all aspects of data and ethics.

The Information Ethics Roundtable is a yearly conference which brings together researchers from disciplines such as philosophy, information science, communications, public administration, anthropology and law to discuss ethical issues such as information privacy, intellectual property, intellectual freedom, and censorship.
