Research Project: Redesigning the Governance Stack

Mentors & Collaborators: Meg Leta Jones (Communication, Culture & Technology), Paul Ohm (Institute for Technology Law & Policy), Julie Cohen (Institute for Technology Law & Policy)

Britney is a second-year evening student and a Technology Law and Policy Scholar at Georgetown Law, and is interested in the intersections between data privacy, the implications of surveillance technology, and their impact on marginalized communities. Her background as a data analyst, coupled with her public service experience in the federal government, fuels her passion for exploring the ethical dimensions of data privacy, particularly in relation to innovation and accessibility for underserved populations. As a Fritz Family Fellow for the Redesigning the Governance Stack Project, Britney explores how the administrative state’s governance of the information economy can prioritize and center public values through proposed reforms.
