Digital Privacy Instruction Curriculum

Orienting privacy literacy toward social change

“…Within the library context, efforts like the Library Freedom Project (2023), the National Forum on Web Privacy and Web Analytics (Young et al , 2019), the Licensing Privacy project (Hinchliffe, 2023) the Privacy and Ethics in Technology Working Group (Digital Library Federation, 2022), the Prioritizing Privacy project (Hinchliffe and Jones, 2019) and the Brooklyn Public Library’s Data Privacy Project (2023), have convened groups, developed materials, and taken action to integrate privacy literacy into the practice of librarianship. These have included fostering communities of practice (Young et al , 2019), leading educational workshops (Data Privacy Project, 2023; Library Freedom Project, 2023; Hinchliffe and Jones, 2019; Macrina and Glaser, 2014; Walker et al , 2020), providing primers on specific privacy issues, such as the use of learning analytics in academic libraries (Jones, Briney, et al , 2020), developing privacy-protective language for library contracts with vendors (Hinchliffe, 2023), and setting up the anonymizing Tor browser on library computers (Glaser and Macrina, 2015; Macrina, 2015; Macrina and Glaser, 2014). Beyond the library context, scholars have examined how children develop privacy literacy through participation in an online coding community (Hautea et al , 2017) and co-designed privacy literacy programs with teens and organizations (Smith et al , 2017) as well as with people in marginalized neighborhoods (Lewis et al , 2018; Petty et al , 2018).…”
