Digital Echoes: Understanding Patterns of Mass Violence with Data and Statistics @ The Open Society Foundations - New York
May 28 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Please join Patrick Ball, executive director of the Human Rights Data Analysis Group, for a conversation about data, rights, and justice. Data can seem to offer insights into patterns: Is mass violence getting better, or worse, over time? Is violence directed more against men or women? However, in human rights data collection, we (usually) don’t know what we don’t know—and worse, what we don’t know may be systematically different from what we think we do know.

Privacy and the Digital Student: Paths Forward @ The Rayburn House Office Building, Room B-340
Jun 2 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Technology in education has the potential to revolutionize learning. Yet the adoption of new technology requires consumer trust. This is especially true when considering the privacy of students’ data collected by education technologies. Recently, we have witnessed increased activity around student privacy legislation. Over 170 state student privacy bills have been introduced in 2015, the White House announced its student privacy legislative proposal in January, and Congress is currently considering multiple student privacy bills.

Join the Center for Democracy & Technology, members of Congress, advocates, and industry leaders for a briefing on the paths forward for national student privacy law and policy.
