Description:
Professor Sandra Braman (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) explores ways in which current trends in information policy across traditional legal silos combine to affect the identity, structure, borders, and change processes of technological, social, and informational systems: developments so significant they have transformed the nature of the state itself.
About the speaker: Professor Sandra Braman has been doing research on the macro-level effects of digital technologies and their policy implications for over two decades. Recent work includes Change of State: Information, Policy, and Power (MIT Press, 2006) and the edited volumes The Emergent Global Information Policy Regime (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004), Biotechnology and Communication: The Meta-Technologies of Information (Erlbaum, 2004), and Communication Researchers and Policy-Making (MIT Press, 2003).
