We are proud to announce that submissions are welcome for Georgetown Law Technology Review's annual writing competition. The author(s) of the first place paper will be awarded $2,000; the author(s) of the second place paper will be awarded $500. The first place author(s) also may have the opportunity to be published in Volume 9 of our journal. Read below--or use this link: https://lnkd.in/etY2nyNB --for more details on the topic and how to submit by June 3, 2024. This year’s topic is Emerging Biotechnologies and Their Relationships to Personal Freedoms. Biotechnology has played an evermore increasing part in our lives, from the biometric data collected in our smartwatch to the vaccine we took during the pandemic. But as these innovations can be utilized to solve global health crises, find early signs of disease, or even alert authorities to urgent health issues, they can also intersect with the rights of privacy, speech, and reproduction. Consider how some women, with the overturning of Roe, worried that their private data would be used to target those who sought abortions. Or consider how doctors in many states are barred from recommending certain treatments to those in the LGBTQ+ community–medical advances and the law are invariably intertwined. Requirements: - Papers should be 3000-5000 words long (not including footnotes) and be submitted in Times New Roman size 12 font, single spaced. Footnotes must conform to the 20th edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. Papers must be in English. - Papers will be accepted from students enrolled at any ABA-accredited law school in the United States during the 2024-2025 academic year. The paper must be the author’s own work, although students may incorporate feedback received as part of an academic course or supervised writing project. The paper must not have been published or committed for publication in another journal; the Georgetown Law Technology Review must have the first right of publication for any winning essay. - Please submit papers via email to techinstitute@law.georgetown.edu. Submissions are due on June 3, 2024. Please reach out to for any questions!

Chair in Intellectual Property & Technology Law - EU, Italian and UK law expert - Author "Internet of Things and the Law" - UK Principal Investigator AHRC-DFG "From Smart Technologies to Smart Consumer Laws"
#MeetTheLecturer continues 😍 One of the pillars of Strathclyde Law School's LLM/MSc Law, Technology and Innovation is Dr Birgit Schippers. Birgit is a Lecturer in Law researching the impact of AI and automated decision-making on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. Her specific interests focus on the human rights compliance of biometric technologies, such as face recognition technology; on the scope for human rights-compliant regulation of microtargeted online disinformation; and on AI and gender discrimination. She is affiliated to the Strathclyde Centre for the Study of Human Rights Law, and she is the Gender Equality Rapporteur of the Global Digital Human Rights Network. Birgit will teach two modules on the new LLM: (1) ‘Regulating Technology’ 🤖 is a core class, which will introduce students to law’s role in the regulation of new technologies such as AI. The module will also examine how new technologies influence trends and developments in the field of regulation. (2) ‘Human Rights and Digital Technologies’ ⚖ is an elective class, which examines the impact of new technologies on fundamental rights, such as privacy, freedom of expression, or non-discrimination. Concerns over technology-enabled human rights abuses give this topic a real urgency, and the module studies regional and international human rights frameworks that address these challenges. But it also asks whether digital technologies can be harnessed to protect and strengthen our human rights, and it examines the emergence of digital human rights as a distinctive form of rights protection in the digital age. https://lnkd.in/eVFDPDbt

There is still time to reserve your spot for Privileged Logics Conference 2024, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and organized in cooperation with the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE). The conference will be 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. Sunday, February 25, in Cincinnati. There is no registration fee and coffee breaks and lunch will be provided free of charge. WHY IS THIS CONFERENCE IMPORTANT? Privilege is a complex and often invisible system of power that advantages some groups and disadvantages others. In STEM research, privilege can manifest in many ways, such as through biases in journal peer review, funding decisions, research and teaching assignments, and hiring and retention practices. This can create barriers for underrepresented groups and prevent them from fully participating in and contributing to STEM research and teaching. Privileged Logics 2024 will provide a space for researchers, educators, and other stakeholders to come together to learn about privilege in STEM research and ethics and to identify strategies for addressing it. https://lnkd.in/d4bWiGfd #womeninstem #equity #representationmatters #workplacewellbeing #mentalhealthmatters #bipocmentalhealth #blackwomeninstem

The Complex Landscape of Consent: Insights from Medicine, Data Privacy, and Legal Agreements In today’s interconnected world, consent stretches far beyond its traditional boundaries, weaving into the fabric of medical research, personal data usage, and legal agreements. The historical case of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were used in medical research without her consent, is a stark reminder of the ethical complexities and the need for explicit consent in medical advancements. This incident highlights the moral dilemmas of past practices and serves as a cautionary tale for contemporary and future ethical considerations in medical research. The digital age has introduced new challenges in understanding and navigating consent, particularly regarding personal data usage. Consumers often find themselves resigning to the opaque terms of service agreements, leading to a widespread feeling of powerlessness. This resignation is not a sign of apathy but reflects the digital consent processes' complex and often impenetrable nature. The proliferation of smart devices and services has made it increasingly difficult for individuals to track how their data is used, shared, and stored. Experts like Joseph Turow, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication, and Tess Wilkinson-Ryan, a professor at Penn’s Carey Law School, provide valuable insights into the essence of valid consent. Turow emphasises the critical elements of understanding and autonomy in consent processes. He argues that without a clear grasp of consent and the freedom to make an informed decision, consent loses its meaning and ethical foundation. Wilkinson-Ryan’s perspectives delve into the psychological aspects of consumer behaviour, highlighting how individuals rationalise their acquiescence to less-than-ideal terms to avoid feeling taken advantage of. This psychological nuance underpins the complex relationship between consumers and companies, where the moral weight of agreements often overshadows the fairness of their terms. As we navigate the complexities of consent in various spheres of life, we must foster a deeper understanding of its implications. By drawing on historical lessons, acknowledging the realities of the digital landscape, and valuing the insights of experts, we can strive towards a future where consent is informed, voluntary, and respectful of individual autonomy.

Elite University of USA-Harvard University's ROT continues (Will India learn) : 1. It's not just Claudine Gay. Harvard University's chief diversity and inclusion officer, Sherri Ann Charleston, appears to have plagiarized extensively in her academic work, lifting large portions of text without quotation marks and even taking credit for a study done by another scholar—her own husband—according to a complaint filed with the university on Monday and a Washington Free Beacon analysis. 2. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of Harvard Medical School's three teaching hospitals, announced in January that it would retract six papers and correct dozens more after some of its top executives were accused of data manipulation. 3. While scholars can reuse data across multiple papers, they must make clear when they are doing so and provide appropriate attribution to earlier studies, per guidelines from the Office of Research Integrity and the editorial policies of top academic journals, including Nature and Cell. #Indonordicassociation(dot)org Indo Nordic Strategic Association, India https://lnkd.in/dg4F7Dv3

Last week, I was in Basel speaking about methodology for legal research on emerging technologies to fellow young researchers in digital transformation and the public sector. As we all struggle or have struggled with our thesis' drafting, I shared some tips based on my experience. Here are some of them: 1️⃣ Definition Working on emerging subjects often leads to difficulties in using terms which are not well defined in the legal sphere ("AI", "digital transformation"...). Some terms are not defined at all, others are subject to several competing definitions (for fuzzy concepts). - Not having a clear and consensual definition does not prevent you from studying your research object. - You can use a "functional" definition, which is not intended to become a unique and consensual definition but which purpose is only to allow you to conduct your research (it is a "purpose-specific" definition, in the context of your thesis). 2️⃣ Absence of a clear, set legal regime At the launch of my thesis, there was no AI Act proposal, no white paper on AI... Then, the regulation project fluctuated a lot between 2021 and 2023, with over 4000 amendments, different versions of the text... - Do not wait for a final text before writing your thesis (this is a trap!). - Drafting is adapting: be ready to change parts of your manuscript as texts evolve. - Build arguments that are "time-resilient", e.g. by criticizing the spirit of a text rather than specific wordings. 3️⃣ Lack of doctrine and other sources - Be methodic and rigorous in your databases research (list the keywords related to your subject and search them on each legal database). You cannot afford to miss a good reference. - Be open to international sources and doctrine (for french students: use Google Scholar, SSRN, HeinOnline, Westlaw). - Embrace interdisciplinarity. You can find some very interesting stuff in sociology, economics, computer science... 4️⃣ Time management Most of PhD candidates work in parallel of their PhD. In my case, I had only 2 days a week to work on my thesis and successfully defended within 3 years and a half. - Everyone is different. Try different working methods and find the one that suits you. - Procrastination guilt is normal and everyone experience it. Do not be too harsh on yourself. Mental health is top priority so go outside, have fun, see friends, do sports or whatever you like to have a break. - The things that worked for me: project management ; build a retroplanning with 6-months objectives ; discipline in the writing (try to write every day, even if you have only 30 minutes, it is sufficient to write the 3 bullet points you will be writing the day after!). Not pretending to have a miracle solution, nor that there is ONE way of doing things. Just sharing my experience if it can help! Thanks to the organizing committee Nina Lasbleiz, Liliane Obrecht, Clémentine Pouzet and Ludivine Stewart and all the participants for the great workshop in Basel!

Our latest article on children’s research participation in International Journal of Social Research Methodology Ethics are always present when doing research with children but it is also connected to generational structures. Interested? Go and read more!
Children's research participation is not only an ethical question but also connected to generational structures. Children are dependent on adults, however, dependency in research settings is reciprocal and intergenerational. https://lnkd.in/ebkWz5fq
