Aims & Scope
Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the ethical and legal issues that arise from emerging technologies. At the intersection of theory and practice the journal combines conceptual analysis and normative deliberations in order to shape academic debates and policy decisions.
Technological advances provide opportunities and challenges that require a policy response. Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology seeks high quality work that explores the synergy between law and ethics and provides a robust response to these opportunities and challenges. More specifically, the journal focuses on technologies that are likely to have a significant impact on the environment, society, and/or humanity. These will include, but not be limited to:
- Biotechnologies
- Nanotechnologies
- Neurotechologies
- Information Technologies
- Weapons and Security Technology
- Energy and Fuel Technology
- Space Based Technologies
- New Media and Communication Technologies
The Editors-in-Chief would like to thank the Brocher Foundation for their help and support in developing this journal. Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology was developed under a joint grant held by Mr. Anthony Mark Cutter and Dr. Bert Gordijn from June to September 2007.
