Law, Technology and Humans publishes collections of articles in special issues and symposiums, and individual articles. The journal only accepts articles in English. Committed to the wide and unrestricted dissemination of knowledge Law, Technology and Humans encourages scholarship that reflects on how technology is changing law, regulation and normative conduct and also how law, regulation and normative conduct effects local and global challenges and opportunities from technological change. Manuscripts on the possible disruption and changes for humans and their planet from emergent technologies are welcome as well as quality reflection on existing and past interactions between law and technology. Due to its human and humanity focus Law, Technology and Humans is particularly welcoming of interdisciplinary and theoretically informed scholarship. Manuscripts that consider law and technology though the humanities, social sciences, political, social, media and technology theory, economics and empirical studies are particularly encouraged, as are manuscripts that consider law, technology and humans in the context of Asian, southern, postcolonial and First Nation societies. Literature reviews, including systematic literature reviews, will only be considered for publication if they offer a distinct and original scholarly contribution. Submissions must go beyond summarising existing research; they should critically engage with the literature to propose new frameworks, offer novel interpretations, or synthesise findings in a way that advances understanding in the field.
