Between Two Codes

Today, we sit down with Paul Ohm, the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Georgetown Law, to talk about technology and surveillance in the classroom. Dean Ohm was previously a federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and IP Section. He is an expert in the areas of surveillance and law. He discusses how his work on surveillance has impacted classroom recordings at Georgetown and lessons learned to guide the future of technology development. Join us for an inside look at the decisions Georgetown has made around technology in the classroom, in-person and online, and how that interacted with Georgetown's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In our first episode we talk with Professor Laura Donohue about the effects of social media on the First Amendment, the national discourse, and national security. We discuss the history of misinformation, its weaponization and how the modern internet-driven era is different. From fake people living on the moon to the Russian active measures campaign—Donohue does a deep dive into what has been and the current state of affairs.
