Configuring the Networked Self

Configuring the Networked Self

Julie Cohen, Berkman Fellow

Tuesday, January 26, 12:30 pm
Berkman Center, 23 Everett Street, second floor

 

Berkman Faculty Fellow and HLS Visiting Professor Julie Cohen will discuss a chapter from her forthcoming book, which explores the effects of expanding copyright, pervasive surveillance, and the increasingly opaque design of network architectures in the emerging networked information society.  The chapter argues that “access to knowledge” is a necessary but insufficient condition for human flourishing, and adds two additional conditions.
