Governing privacy in knowledge commons

Privacy, in contrast with secrecy, is a relational concept, achieved when personal information is shared appropriately between actors. Viewed in this way, privacy is necessarily contextual and complex because norms about appropriate flows and use of personal information are socially negotiated and often contested. (Nissenbaum, 2009) Privacy is thus a problem of collective action. Moreover, pers…

Innovation and protection:the future of medical device regulation

It may seem counterintuitive to open a book on medical devices with chapters on software and data, but these are the frontiers of new medical device regulation and law. Physical devices are still crucial to medicine, but they - and medical practice as a whole - are embedded in and permeated by networks of software and caches of data. Those software systems are often mindbogglingly complex and l…

Querying childhood:feminist reframings

This book critically examines assumptions about age, women, and gender.
