Issues in Technology and Policy Seminar Series
Renee Robins
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Advances in technology present many interesting opportunities and risks, sometimes upsetting the status quo. Policy issues at the public and private levels involve the application, commercialization, and control of technologies. This seminar series will explore selected issues in technology and policy, including examples such as the politics of technology and its management, assessing technology in large complex systems, and the interplay between technology, law, and politics around "disruptive technologies." Bring brown bag lunch; light refreshments provided.
