We are excited to announce the Call for Papers for the Special Issue - Ethics and Sustainability in Gaming and Persuasive Systems. Please visit https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/calls-for-papers/ethics-and-sustainab... to have a review of topics of interest, submission details, and editorial review board. Closing date for manuscript submissions: 30/06/2024

In this special issue, we aim to attract multidisciplinary contributions that deal with ethics and sustainability, along with sub-fields such as privacy, intercultural digital ethics, fair accountable transparent (FAT). Contributions exhibiting expertise in the application of traditional ethics sub-fields (i.e., applied, normative, utilitarian, virtue etc.) in relation to games, gamification, and other persuasive and motivational systems are also warmly welcome. We also welcome contributions that frame more traditional and utilitarian technologies in light of new hedonic and ludic interpretations (i.e., gamification of surveillance and security).
