Accepting applications for DLI Doctoral Fellowships | 2024-25 [Closed]

Fostering mutual learning and interdisciplinary exchange, the Digital Life Initiative at Cornell Tech was launched in 2017 to focus on ethical, political, policy and quality of life issues relating to digital and information systems. We are excited to invite PhD students to join our dynamic community of technologists, humanists, social scientists and legal scholars as DLI Doctoral Fellows for the 2023-24 academic year. The Doctoral Fellowship Program engages students in systematic inquiry into ethical and political implications of the digital age. Such inquiry centers on issues – e.g. fairness, security, privacy, and accountability – that concern existing and emergent digital technologies. Fellows will focus on societal aspects of technical projects in which they are immersed, and the intellectual approaches needed for tackling them in an informed and rigorous manner. Read more >

Call for Abstracts | Privacy Law Scholars Conference 2023 

 

The Program & Planning Committee of the Privacy Law Scholars Conference invites abstract submissions for the 16th annual conference (PLSC 2023) to be held in person on Thursday and Friday, June 1 and 2, 2023 at the University of Colorado Law School in Boulder, Colorado.

To do so, PLSC assembles a wide array of privacy law scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who engage in scholarship. Scholars from non-law disciplines—including but not limited to surveillance studies, technology studies, feminist and queer studies, information studies, critical race studies, social sciences, humanities, and computer science—are critical participants in this interdisciplinary field. More info >
