Drexel University, like all the others, has gone completely online for the rest of the academic year. Even though that’s the case I’m excited that we’ll be able to meet face to face via ZOOM for some of our scheduled sessions. I’m teaching the following:

CJS 273 – Surveillance, Technology, and Law

CJS 380 – Crime Prediction Ethics

I’m excited to report that I will be teaching at Drexel this winter quarter. I’ll be offering two sections of INFO 679 – Information Ethics and one online section of INFO 680 – Government Information. Please contact me if you have any questions about the classes!

Drexel article about our Ethics of Algorithms project. Thanks Kelly!

Best wishes for the coming year!
