Tuesday, July 10, 200, 9:30 am - noon

Location:

Reuben H. Fleet Science Center

Organizers:

Mike Kalichman & Larry Hinman, The Ethics Center
Jeffrey Kirsch & Julie Lawrence, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center

RSVP:

By invitation only

Description:

This co-sponsored event was facilitated by Drs. Lawrence Hinman and Michael Kalichman to help students and others answer questions such as:

Who reads what is posted on their blogs?
How might what they post today affect their job prospects tomorrow?
Would a code of conduct for online forms help protect their privacy or be an invasion of social networking?

This was an opportunity to answer these timely questions, and to hear about potential consequences for a society operating on privacy assumptions that are not always as they seem.
