In an increasingly interconnected world, users of the internet are coming together to share and manage information in forums known as knowledge commons. As the number of users and information in the commons grows, the need for a governing framework and privacy grows as well. On October 12-13, TV Charles Widger School of Law will bring together leading interdisciplinary scholars to present and discuss “Governing Privacy in Knowledge Commons.” Attendees will consider and evaluate applications of the framework to issues of privacy within various information, knowledge and cultural contexts.

After the workshop, participants will continue to hone the papers through interdisciplinary conversation. The workshop organizers will then publish the final papers in a book by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Studies on Governing Knowledge Commons.

The gathering of renowned scholars is designed to offer free-flowing discussion and to ignite new ideas and proposals for this 21st century challenge. Workshop participants, led by Villanova Law professor Brett Frischmann, include:
