GKC-CI: A Unifying Framework For Contextual Norms and Information Governance

Designing technology that is attuned to ethical privacy considerations is a multifaceted challenge that requires a detailed understanding of the interplay between societal privacy norms, governance factors, and information handling practices in specific contexts. A grounding theoretical framework is needed to define the “right” research questions to untangle these interconnected factors across empirical studies from different disciplines. Our recent work integrates contextual integrity (CI) and governing knowledge commons (GKC) into a combined framework. GKC-CI extends the range of inquiry supported by either CI or GKC individually, enabling further insight into privacy expectations and governing factors across contexts.
