Privacy, security focus of University Forum April 5 3:51 p.m., March 14, 2005--Jeffrey Rosen, professor of law at George Washington University and the legal affairs editor of The New Republic, will speak on "The Silver Bullet: How to Protect Privacy and Security through Law and Technology," at a University Forum, sponsored by the Office of the Provost. Open to the University community, the forum will be held Tuesday, April 5, in the Multipurpose Room of the Trabant University Center. A light lunch will be served at noon, and Rosen’s presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m., followed by a discussion period. Those interested in attending are asked to r.s.v.p. by e-mail to [provost-office@udel.edu] no later than Monday, March 28. Rosen’s talk will address the questions of how to balance privacy and security in the post 9/11 era, how well we are doing and how we could do better. He will discuss laws and technologies that can protect privacy and security at the same time and the political challenges to their adoption. A professor of law at George Washington University and legal affairs editor of The New Republic, Rosen is a prolific writer who was named by the Chicago Tribune as one of the 10 best magazine journalists in America. His essays and commentaries have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly and The New Yorker, where he was a staff writer, as well as on National Public Radio. He also is the author of The Unwanted Gaze: The Destruction of Privacy in America, which The New York Times called “the definitive text on privacy perils in the digital age.” His most recent book, The Naked Crowd: Reclaiming Security and Freedom in an Anxious Age, was named one of the best books of the year by both the San Francisco Chronicle and The Washington Monthly and the “most disturbing book of the year” by the London Guardian. Rosen is a summa cum laude graduate of Harvard College, attended Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar and earned his law degree from Yale Law School.
