SUMMARY:Prof. Danielle Citron on Privacy\, Surveillance\, and Love in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:UVA Law Professor and MacArthur Fellow Danielle Citron\, an international expert on online privacy and abuse\, will speak about the latest developments at the intersection of technology\, public policy\, and our daily Internet-driven lives at 6:45pm Tuesday October 11th at the Downtown Library’s Swanson Case Room and also on Zoom; please mark your calendars to join us! Prof. Citron will be “in conversation” with UVA History Prof. William Hitchcock\, co-host of the Democracy in Danger podcast. Q&A will follow. \nCopies of her new book The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity\, Identity\, and Love in the Digital Age (coming out the week before she speaks!) will be available for purchase. From her publisher’s website:\n \n“The essential road map for understanding—and defending—your right to privacy in the twenty-first century. \nPrivacy is disappearing. From our sex lives to our workout routines\, the details of our lives once relegated to pen and paper have joined the slipstream of new technology. As a MacArthur fellow and distinguished professor of law at the University of Virginia\, acclaimed civil rights advocate Danielle Citron has spent decades working with lawmakers and stakeholders across the globe to protect what she calls intimate privacy—encompassing our bodies\, health\, gender\, and relationships. When intimate privacy becomes data\, corporations know exactly when to flash that ad for a new drug or pregnancy test. Social and political forces know how to manipulate what you think and who you trust\, leveraging sensitive secrets and deepfake videos to ruin or silence opponents. And as new technologies invite new violations\, people have power over one another like never before\, from revenge porn to blackmail\, attaching life-altering risks to growing up\, dating online\, or falling in love. \nA masterful new look at privacy in the twenty-first century\, The Fight for Privacy takes the focus off Silicon Valley moguls to investigate the price we pay as technology migrates deeper into every aspect of our lives: entering our bedrooms and our bathrooms and our midnight texts; our relationships with friends\, family\, lovers\, and kids; and even our relationship with ourselves. \nDrawing on in-depth interviews with victims\, activists\, and advocates\, Citron brings this headline issue home for readers by weaving together visceral stories about the countless ways that corporate and individual violators exploit privacy loopholes. Exploring why the law has struggled to keep up\, she reveals how our current system leaves victims—particularly women\, LGBTQ+ people\, and marginalized groups—shamed and powerless while perpetrators profit\, warping cultural norms around the world…” \n \nProf. Danielle Keats Citron teaches Law at the University of Virginia. A 2019 MacArthur Fellow\, she serves as the vice president of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative and lives here in Charlottesville. Her latest book\, The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity\, Identity\, and Love in the Digital Age\, will be out in October 2022. Her first book\, “Hate Crimes in Cyberspace” (Harvard University Press\, 2014)\, was named one of the 20 Best Moments for Women in 2014 by the editors of Cosmopolitan magazine.\n\nFor the past decade\, Citron has worked with lawmakers\, law enforcement and tech companies to combat online abuse and to protect intimate privacy. In June 2019\, she testified before Congress about the national security and privacy risks of deepfakes. She has been involved in reform efforts around the regulation of online platforms. In October 2019\, she testified before Congress about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. From 2014 to 2016\, Citron served as an advisor to then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris and as a member of Harris’ Task Force to Combat Cyber Exploitation and Violence Against Women. In 2011\, Citron testified about misogynistic cyber hate speech before the Inter-Parliamentary Committee on Anti-Semitism at the House of Commons in the United Kingdom. Since 2011\, she has been a member of Facebook’s Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery Task Force and an adviser and a member of Twitter’s Trust and Safety Task Force and as an adviser to the company since 2009. She is an adviser to the dating app Bumble\, the music streaming service Spotify\, and video sharing platform TikTok.\n\n\n \nProf. William Hitchcock’s work and teaching focus on the global history of the 20th Century\, in particular the era of the two world wars and the cold war. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1994\, working under the supervision of Paul Kennedy\, and taught at Yale for six years (and served as the Associate Director of International Security Studies). He is now writing “FDR and the Dictators: Fascism\, Democracy and the Awakening of America\,” which explores reactions in the United States to the rise of fascism in Europe from the 1920s to 1941. \n\n

SUMMARY:"Raised/Razed" Movie Discussion with the Filmmakers!
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Lorenzo Dickerson and writer Jordy Yager\, local creators of the very well-received May 2022 movie Raised/Razed about the life and destruction of Vinegar Hill\, will speak at 6:30pm on July 28th at the Central Library. You can attend this event either in person (Swanson Case Room 125\, formerly named the McIntire Room) or  via this Zoom link. \nLorenzo and Jordy will share hard truths about the federal Urban Renewal program and its impact on scores of American cities (Durham\, NC is also profiled) through a deep dive into the history and demolition of Vinegar Hill\, Charlottesville’s oldest African American neighborhood. They chart the lives of its residents as they faced racially discriminatory policies and a city government that saw them as obstacles to “progress”\, and they identify some of the most important take-aways from this history. \nMany of us watched Raised/Razed at its Jefferson School or PBS premieres; if you haven’t seen it yet it’s only an hour long and is available at no charge on the VPM website <https://vpm.org/raisedrazed>. Please watch (or re-watch!) the film before their talk and come with questions about (1) their journalistic & cinematic storytelling and (2) what they learned in the process of making the film. \nNote — this is the first in-person speaker event in our co-sponsored series with Albemarle Dems since Covid began!
