FEBRUARY SYMPOSIUM

FEBRUARY 20, 2026- ZOOM

​​Professor Jonathon W. Penney (Osgood Hall Law School and Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society)—a legal scholar and social scientist—is known for his research at the intersection of law, technology, and human rights, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary empirical methods and emerging technologies. His award-winning research on privacy, technology, and human rights has received national and international attention. Professor Penney’s book, Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age (Cambridge University Press, 2025), explores the growing weaponization of censorship, surveillance, and technology to control and repress. This symposium discussion will celebrate Penney’s book, allowing scholars to come together and consider its implications.
