Call for Papers! Routledge Handbook on AI, Law and Society! Submit before 1 May 2024!
This is a call for submissions for abstracts for the Routledge Handbook on AI, Law and Society (forthcoming in the Routledge book series on AI, Law and Society). We are now open for submissions of abstracts.
Deadline for abstract: 1 May 2024. After all submissions are reviewed all selected submissions will be asked to proceed to submit a first draft (see the time plan for this further down in this text). Submit your abstract (400 words), with a title, author name(s), contact information, and affiliation(s) to: [email protected] with “AI Handbook abstract” as subject line.
What is the Handbook and what are we looking for?
The Handbook is looking for shorter chapters of ca 4-5000 words of critical scholarly interventions focusing on a specific topic or approach to AI, law and society. The texts will be comprehensive and give an overview of the research field of the topic/approach. The text can build on your previous scholarship, but it can also be an entirely new contribution.
The Handbook especially (but not exclusively) welcomes submissions on the following themes:
- Socio-legal and legal-political implications of AI in a variety of geographies, spaces and jurisdictions
- AI, law and fundamental values/principles in society
- Legal-political organisation of societies through and/or in resistance to AI (e.g. distributive, anarchist approaches, non-capitalist approaches, rights-based approaches)
- Environmental and embodied normativities and AI
- Posthuman, speculative aesthetics, new materialist, more-than-human, indigenous, decolonial, TWAIL, critical race, feminist, and other critical legal approaches to AI
- Historical analyses of, and approaches to, law, AI and related technologies
- AI, law and archival practices
- AI, law and political economy
- AI, automation and decision-making in law and governance
- AI, law, and the changing politics of digital and cyber space
- AI, digital twinning, and the regulatory and experiential challenges they give rise to
- AI, human and more-than-human rights
- AI, law and the (re)configuration of life
- Food security/food, AI and law
- AI (distribution of) global resources and law
- AI, law and discipline (Foucauldian and otherwise)/criminal law
- AI, law, and artistic praxis (intellectual property and beyond)
- All kinds of theoretically bent analyses (new/experimental or based on established theories) of the use, regulation, experience, and the socio-political impact of AI
- New challenges and methodological approaches to the legal study, use and regulation of AI
- Empirically based socio-legal analysis of/through AI
We are specifically looking for submissions from the following themes, topics and encounters:
- Decolonial perspectives on Law and AI
