The Center for Information Policy Research announces its 2007-08 Information Ethics Fellows
The Center for Information Policy Research (CIPR) at the School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is pleased to announce its 2007-08 Information Ethics Fellows. The IE Fellows Program was initiated in 2006 to highlight prominent scholars in the information ethics field, and to promote innovative research in IE. For its second year, the Fellows Program includes two Senior Fellows, who are established scholars in the field, and two Junior Fellows, who are emerging scholars in the IE field and show particular promise to make significant contributions to the IE research base. Senior Fellows are appointed, while Junior Fellows are selected through a competitive process.
The 2007-08 IE Fellows:
Senior Fellows:
Dr. Rafael Capurro, Founder and Director of the International Center for Information Ethics, and Editor, International Review of Information Ethics. Dr. Capurro’s work will focus on cross-cultural issues in information ethics.
Dr. Robert Hauptman, Professor Emeritus, St. Cloud University, Editor, Journal of Information Ethics, Dr. Hauptman will explore authorial ethics.
Junior Fellows:
Marianne Ryan, Doctoral Candidate, School of Information, University of Michigan, who will explore the process of online informed consent and its reinterpretation in light of the dynamic co-production experience within virtual worlds.
Jeremy Hunsinger, Doctoral Candidate, Science and Technology in Society, Virginia Tech, who will continue his work examining the construction of norms within the interfaces of open source software production and how that structures the mode of production of the internet.
The Fellows spend time in residence at the CIPR, contributing to its Colloquia and Occasional Paper series, and lecturing in SOIS courses. Fellows receive a stipend and access to the CIPR Resource Center, and engage in collaborative work with CIPR Faculty Associates.
The 2006-07 Fellows include Dr. Charles Ess, who focused on east-west perspectives on information and computer ethics, and Dr. Toni Samek, who presented her work on information work and human rights worldwide.
The CIPR's research agenda revolves around social, ethical, economic, legal, and technical aspects of information and information technologies with a focus on such key information policy issues as intellectual property (copyright, patents, etc.), privacy, equity of access to information, ethics of information use and service, censorship, cyberlaw, and government, corporate, and international information policies.
The CIPR reflects the mission and philosophy of the School of Information Studies: Information, our focus; interdisciplinary, our mindset; and international, our scope.
