Geneva Sedgwick, JD, LLM

During her fellowship, Professor Sedgwick will evolve her scholarship concerning the intersection of human rights and technology, specifically current surveillance technologies such as facial recognition. She is interested in comparing the regulation of surveillance technologies in different jurisdictions and devising new ways to protect the human rights of privacy and autonomy.  She is also curious to explore the application of these technologies in the workplace, both in the U.S. and the European Union, and to consider how to best protect employee rights in this context.  

Professor Sedgwick has been published in such scholarly journals as the Stanford Technology Law Review and the American Business Law Journal.
