Description
Privacy is a fluid and ever-evolving concept, studied across multiple fields and with numerous definitions. Privacy research in information systems (IS) is extensive yet has not traveled far beyond the IS realm and fully engaged in the broader conversations being had with regards to privacy. This paper is an attempt at stepping back to define a larger sense of privacy, integrating both key ideas from previous IS work on privacy as well as that of other fields in order to promote alternative frameworks through which to conduct IS research that will allow for theorization despite the consistently moving boundaries of privacy. We propose one such framework that would allow for imaginative and speculative assessment of privacy impacts that depart from backward-looking empirical work and encourages active theorization that can keep pace with the rate of technological change and the resulting socio-technical changes loosed by new and evolving technologies.

Towards a Forward-Looking Conceptualization of Privacy
Privacy is a fluid and ever-evolving concept, studied across multiple fields and with numerous definitions. Privacy research in information systems (IS) is extensive yet has not traveled far beyond the IS realm and fully engaged in the broader conversations being had with regards to privacy. This paper is an attempt at stepping back to define a larger sense of privacy, integrating both key ideas from previous IS work on privacy as well as that of other fields in order to promote alternative frameworks through which to conduct IS research that will allow for theorization despite the consistently moving boundaries of privacy. We propose one such framework that would allow for imaginative and speculative assessment of privacy impacts that depart from backward-looking empirical work and encourages active theorization that can keep pace with the rate of technological change and the resulting socio-technical changes loosed by new and evolving technologies.
