ISP Alumni Reunion 2008
Information Society Project
Yale Information Society Project Hosts Alumni Reunion and Conference,
November 15-16.
As part of its ten-year anniversary celebration, the Information Society Project (ISP) at Yale Law School is hosting an alumni reunion and conference the weekend of November 15-16 at Yale Law School. November 15-16.
ISP fellows will converge on New Haven from as far as Brazil, Europe, and Israel to celebrate this first-of-its-kind reunion of Yale ISP alumni and affiliates. The ISP was founded in 1997 by Jack Balkin, Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School, to address the implications of the Internet and new information technologies on law and society and to engage in scholarship and activities that promote democratic values online. Since that time, the ISP has produced ten years worth of brilliant scholars and activists that have made a mark on law and technology areas ranging from cyberlaw and civil liberties online to biotechnology and intellectual property law.
(Alumni Reunion Schedule and Program)
The event is free and open to the public but participants must register with Perry Fetterman at perry.fetterman@yale.edu.
Cyberscholar Working Group
Thursday, November 13, 2008
Yale Law School, Room 129
6:00-8:30 pm
In collaboration with the Berkman Center and the MIT Comparative Media Studies program the Cyberscholar Working Group is a monthly forum for fellows and affiliates to discuss their ongoing research. Each session is focused on the peer review and discussion of current projects submitted by a presenter. Meeting alternatively at Harvard, MIT and Yale, the working group aims to expand the shared knowledge of young scholars by bringing together these preeminent centers of thought on issues confronting the information age. Discussion sessions are designed to facilitate advancements in the individual research of presenters and in turn encourage exposure among the participants to the multi-disciplinary features of the issues addressed by their own work.
