CV

I am a Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor and cartoonist in the Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) program at Georgetown University where I research rules and technological change. Ctrl+Z: The Right to be Forgotten, my first book, is about the social, legal, and technical issues surrounding digital oblivion. My second book project, The Character of Consent tells the transatlantic history of digital consent through the lens of the familiar cookie. I also co-edited a volume with Amanda Levendowski called Feminist Cyberlaw that explores how gender, race, sexuality and disability shape cyberspace and the laws that govern it.

 

I'm now turning to what I call the "new family privacy," which considers the ways changes in reproduction, education, social development, eldercare, and genealogy come together as a currently disparate but potentially powerful source of contemporary privacy practice. And I make comics about tech law - I turn talks, debates, oral arguments, cases and research into comics. You can find some these on Instagram.​​

​

Advised by Paul Ohm, I earned a Ph.D. from the ATLAS Institute at the University of Colorado, Engineering and Applied Science. Prior to pursuing a Ph.D., I earned a J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law, where I focused on technology and information issues. Most recently I've trained to be a cartoonist with the Sequential Artists Workshop. I have held fellowships and research positions with the NSF funded eCSite project in the University of Colorado Department of Computer Science, the Silicon Flatirons Center at the University of Colorado School of Law, the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society, CableLabs, and the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress.
