    Alison Macrina

    Founder & Director of the Library Freedom Project  

    Keynote Title: Privacy and intellectual freedom in the age of mass surveillance 

    TIME: Thursday Feb 11 11:10 AM 

     

    Workshop Title: Practical tools to safeguard digital privacy: what you can do to protect your patrons, in and out of the library

     

    About:  Alison Macrina is a librarian, privacy activist, and the founder and director of the Library Freedom Project, an initiative which aims to make real the promise of intellectual freedom in libraries by teaching librarians and their local communities about surveillance threats, privacy rights and law, and privacy-protecting technology tools to help safeguard digital freedoms. Alison is passionate about connecting surveillance issues to larger global struggles for justice, demystifying privacy and security technologies for ordinary users, and resisting an internet controlled by a handful of intelligence agencies and giant multinational corporations. When she’s not doing any of that, she’s reading.
