Join this session.

Date: Thursday, August 17

Time: 9:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.

Presenter: Regina Curran (Director of Cyber Policy, Information Security) & Brian Hughes (Founding Co-Director, PERIL / Research Assistant Professor, SPA-Justice, Law & Criminology)

Session Description: 

Campus partners in the Office of Information Technology and Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL), will provide information on data privacy for faculty. Increasingly scholars who teach and publish on issues focused on marginalized communities/experiences, or politically “hot” topics are experiencing more negative attention through virtual means. While it may seem as though there is little one can do to protect their privacy online, there are basic steps we can all take in our digital lives to make us less vulnerable to unwanted attention.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Recognize the importance of data privacy, given the current political climate 
• Implement basic privacy steps to protect personal and professional data
