As national security and commercial data sharing issues have become intertwined, the politics of international privacy have been recast. In his BCLT Privacy Lecture, Prof. Newman will explore how privacy is no longer simply a legal tool to safeguard dignity but increasingly a highly politicized policy field used to protect citizens, firms and governments from foreign surveillance.
Abraham Newman is a professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and Government Department at Georgetown University, Director of the Mortara Center for International Studies, and former chair of the European Union Studies Association. His latest book is Of Privacy and Power: the Transatlantic Struggle over Freedom and Security (with Henry Farrell, Princeton University Press 2019).
Commenting on Prof. Newman’s lecture will be:
- Prof. Laura Donohue, Georgetown University Law Center
- Prof. Margot Kaminski, Univ. of Colorado Law School
- Prof. Peter Swire, Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business
