Law, Creativity and Innovation Book Series (Bristol University Press) - Call for Proposals
Bristol University Press.About
Bristol University Press invites book proposals for its Law, Creativity and Innovation series, a future-focused home for socio-legal and interdisciplinary scholarship exploring the intricate relationship between law and two of the most fundamental human pursuits: creativity and innovation.
The series examines the legal, cultural, economic and political forces that influence who creates, who benefits from innovation, and how emerging technologies transform foundational concepts such as authorship, inventorship, value and accountability. This is a rolling call with no fixed deadline, so proposals may be submitted at any time.
Scope
Taking a broad view of "emerging technologies", the series welcomes work across a wide range of domains, including:
- Generative AI and synthetic media
- Data-driven and algorithmic platforms
- XR and spatial computing
- Robotics and autonomous systems
- Bio- and neurotechnologies
- Green innovation ecosystems
Across these domains, the series invites scholarship that interrogates power, equity, sustainability and global justice.
What the Series Welcomes
The series welcomes both authored monographs and edited collections. In particular, it seeks books that:
- Push the boundaries of existing legal scholarship
- Draw on a diverse range of methodologies, including but not limited to socio-legal, critical legal theory, design-based, empirical and interdisciplinary approaches
- Analyse how legal, regulatory and/or governance frameworks enable, structure and constrain technological change and its cultural and economic impacts
