Collaborations
Collaborations across Georgetown are a joy - here are some current projects:
Paul Ohm and I started the Foo Law Lab in fall 2022 as the pilot effort trying to do for technology students what law clinics have done for generations of law students. We work with partner organizations on technology policy issues, problems, and questions and intend to offer Foo Law Lab participation as a course in Spring 2023 with support from the Fritz Fellowship program and the Public Interest Technology University Network. More details coming soon. If you're an organization interested in working with us, please reach out!
Redesigning the Governance Stack: New Institutional Approaches to Information Economy Harms
Redesigning the Governance Stack is a multi-year effort to reinvent the institutions and tools we use to govern technology and technology companies. With seed funding from the McCourt Institute, the project team at Georgetown University is led by PIs Julie Cohen, Paul Ohm, and me and engages with top experts in technology law, administrative law, computer science, technology studies, communication, and political economy to develop concrete, actionable proposals.
