IRGP presentation, “The Wikipedia Assignment: Where Students’ Interests, Confidence, and Public Participation in Knowledge Production Intersect”, Ferris State University, April 11, 2022
In 2010, the Wikipedia Student Program launched to help college students achieve the above goals all while improving Wikipedia content. The Program is a simple but powerful concept. Students from institutions across the U.S. and Canada contribute to Wikipedia as a course assignment. Students are in an incredibly privileged position vis-a-vis knowledge. They have access to sources that are, for many, often behind paywalls, and they have their professors – experienced, subject-matter experts in their field – to guide them.

IRGP event support, “Redesigning Consent for Better Data Protection in the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” World Economic Forum, October 2-3, 2019
The way in which we as people interact with technology is continuously evolving. When the permissions people grant to companies and organizations at one point in time become the gateway for everything that happens to that data in the future, that moment becomes extremely important, perhaps far beyond what could be envisaged. Given the ubiquity of data collection online and the necessity of technologies that enhance our lives but rely on that data, is there a better way to manage the relationship between people and technology?

IRGP designed and hosted, “Privacy Authors Panel”, Mozilla Privacy Lab/Privacy Law Scholars Conference, May 30, 2019
Mozilla Privacy Lab is a meet-up for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. The goal of these events is to bring together people who work in the privacy space from different perspectives - people who may not regularly talk to each other - policy people, techies, activists, and academics at big companies, startups, universities, libraries, NGO's, foundations, civil society and more - that's one of the benefits of attending.
The May iteration of the Mozilla Privacy Lab will be a round-table of authors hosted by the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Privacy (IRGP) and moderated by me. The goal of the event is to connect the larger Mozilla Privacy Lab audience with the newer works of prominent academic scholars.
For the first time, this event is being coordinated with the 2019 Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) and its audience of privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). By holding the Mozilla Privacy Lab during the Privacy Law Scholars Conference the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Privacy is working to incorporate the various audiences that we all attract at one event and continue to work towards building a permanent, all-inclusive, privacy focused research community at Berkeley. Click here to view the video of the event.
Event sponsors include Mozilla Privacy Lab, the Townsend Center for the Humanities, Institute for the Study for Societal Issues, Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Center for Internet and Society.

Join us for the 2018 International Data Privacy Day edition of Privacy Lab for privacy in the education sector. Student privacy often faces a conundrum. How do organizations balance student privacy with legal requirements and benefits that can be gained from collecting data for instructional purposes? How can they prioritize when privacy often comes with a price tag and the public education system isn't exactly flush with cash? Are there interesting comparisons and contrasts between K-12, higher education and edtech? Our expert panel includes: Bill Fitzgerald, Director, Privacy Valuation Initiative, Common Sense Media; Lisa Ho, Campus Privacy Officer at UC Berkeley; Naniette Coleman, PhD Student and Researcher, UC Berkeley; Jill Bronfman, Attorney, Scholar and Lecturer at SF State and UC Hastings (Moderator).
