Berkman Klein Center at Harvard Now Accepting Applications for 18-19 Fellowships
by Daniel Oyolu 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hello Air-L Community! I'm the Core Program Coordinator at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University <https://cyber.harvard.edu/> and we've just announced our open call for fellowship applications <https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/opencall20182019> for the 2018-2019 academic year. We're a public interest research center and community working to explore the Internet and new digital developments, touching a broad range of topics I know are of great import to people in the this community. Fellowships at the Center are opportunities for those who wish to spend 2018-2019 in residence in Cambridge, MA as part of the our vibrant community of research and practice, and who seek to engage in collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral exploration of some of the Internet's most important and compelling issues. Fellows are supported in an inviting and playful intellectual environment - we have community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking, to identify and expose common threads across fellows’ individual activities, and to bring fellows into conversation with the faculty directors, employees, and broader community at the Berkman Klein Center. We invite applications from people working on a broad range of opportunities and challenges related to Internet and society, which may overlap with ongoing work at the Center and may expose our community to new opportunities and approaches. We encourage applications from scholars, practitioners, innovators, engineers, artists, and others committed to understanding and advancing the public interest who come from -- and have interest in -- countries industrialized or developing, with ideas, projects, or activities in all phases on a spectrum from incubation to reflection. To make fellowships a possibility for as wide a range of applicants as possible, in the 2018-2019 academic year we will award a small number of stipends to incoming fellows. This funding is intended to support people from communities who are underrepresented in fields related to Internet and society, who will contribute to the diversity of the Berkman Klein Center’s research and activities, and who have financial need. *Applications will be accepted until Wednesday January 31, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.* I invite you to check out our full call <https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/opencall20182019>, which has more information about our community activities and the application process. Please feel most welcome to share this info with others who you think might have interest. And if there are any questions, please feel most welcome to reach out to me or Becca Tabasky, (copied on this email) our Manager of Community Programs. All best, Daniel -- Daniel Oyolu Core Program Coordinator Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society Harvard University 617-495-7547 | cyber.harvard.edu

WEBCAST TODAY: Internet Society + Chatham House Panel: Do We Still Trust the Internet?
by Joly MacFie 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

You probably are familiar with, or have heard of, the Chatham House Rule, which protects the anonymity of discussants. Fortunately that has not been invoked for this, thus we are able to webcast what promises to be very good session. Note the participation, not only of ISOC's Sally Wentworth, but also Marina Kaljurand of Estonia, where there recently has been a crisis of confidence <https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2017/09/security_flaw_i.html> in the crypto behind their national ID card. 1pm NYC time. Open Captions. [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/securitization/> Today, *Thursday 14 December 2017* the *Internet Society <https://internetsociety.org/>* and *Chatham House <https://www.chathamhouse.org/event/do-we-still-trust-internet>* will host a panel discussion *Do We Still Trust the Internet? <https://www.internetsociety.org/events/chatham-house-panel-discussion-do-we…>*in London. Over the past few years, there has been a clear shift towards greater ‘securitization’ of the Internet, where security is less about personal data integrity and network resilience, and more about national security and political control. This is evident through the practice of Internet shutdowns, data localization policies, attacks on the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance and encryption backdoors. At this event, held in partnership with the Internet Society, participants will discuss the trend towards ‘securitization’, its implications and how to strengthen trust in the Internet, Participants: ** *Marina Kaljurand*, Chair, Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Estonia (2015-16); *Sally Wentworth*, Vice President of Global Policy Development, Internet Society; *Patricia Lewis*, Research Director, International Security Department, Chatham House. Moderator: *Emily Taylor*, Associate Fellow, International Security and Editor, Journal of Cyber Policy, Chatham House. The event will be webcast live via the *Internet Society Livestream Channel <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/securitization/>*, *YouTube <https://youtu.be/O5ZiAsQSzRw>*, and *Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/>*. *What: Chatham House Panel: Do We Still Trust the Internet? <https://www.internetsociety.org/events/chatham-house-panel-discussion-do-we…>When: Thursday 14 December 2017 18:00 – 19:00 UTC | 13:00-14:00 ESTWebcast: Livestream <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/securitization/> | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/> | YouTube <https://youtu.be/O5ZiAsQSzRw>Captioning: https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC <https://www.streamtext.net/player?event=CFI-ISOC>Twitter: #securitization - http://bit.ly/2AoPlpC <http://bit.ly/2AoPlpC>* Comment <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9709#respond> See all comments <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9709#comments> *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9709 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
