The Berkman Center has long been home to a number of cross-disciplinary initiatives that investigate privacy and privacy-relevant questions in the digitally networked environment. To this end, we offer research, resources, workshops, and other outputs focused on key privacy issues, aiming to pinpoint novel solutions to privacy problems that reconcile technological, legal, political, economic, and behavioral tensions and maximize capacity for innovative and effective uses of data and communications. Our most recent work in the privacy space includes the Student Privacy Initiative, the Youth and Online Privacy Initiative, and the Privacy Tools for Sharing Research Data project. more >
The Berkman Center has long been home to a number of cross-disciplinary
initiatives that investigate privacy and privacy-relevant questions in the digitally networked environment. We offer
research, resources, workshops, and other outputs focused on key privacy
issues, aiming to pinpoint novel solutions to privacy problems that
reconcile technological, legal, political, economic, and behavioral
tensions and maximize capacity for innovative and effective uses of data
and communications. Our most recent work in the privacy space includes the Student Privacy Initiative, the Youth and Online Privacy Initiative, and the Privacy Tools for Sharing
Research Data project. Each of our efforts builds upon engagement with and
outreach to diverse stakeholders for whom privacy questions are
particularly relevant, including educators, policy makers, industry
representatives, advocates, and other scholars. This interdisciplinary,
multi-stakeholder model empowers our team to surface, identify, and
analyze critical emerging questions and challenges, to support efforts
to promote and preserve privacy rights, and to design and implement practical
systems that allow research findings to benefit society.
