Basic Rights

What do we need to do to ensure that basic rights are universally protected for everyone?

Technology in schools routinely collides with rights that used to feel settled: privacy, due process, dignity, freedom from surveillance. My second book, Ethical Ed Tech, is largely a book about those collisions.

I care about the concrete: what a school's data policy actually says, which vendors a district signs with, who gets to see a child's browsing history. Rights are only real when institutions have the infrastructure to protect them.

Conversations & Appearances

Podcasts, talks, op-eds, and press where I've worked through these questions with others.
