General Educational Aims:

This class is concerned with "user aspects" of privacy in electronic environments, specifically web sites, ubiquitous computing environments and collaborative environments. It will focus on empirical findings regarding factors that influence individuals' privacy-related decisions and actions (e.g., one's willingness to disclose personal data to websites or one's proclivity to regard a call to one's cell phone as a privacy invasion). To this aim, students will read research articles that were published in different disciplines, such as information systems, marketing research, public policy, economics, computer-mediated communication, law, human-computer interaction, and the information and computer sciences.

Students will read and discuss research papers, write position statements, and conduct a research project.
