Ifeoma Ajunwa recently received her Ph.D. Joining the community in 2016-2017 as Berkman Klein fellows: The Berkman Klein Center’s Manager of Community Programs Rebecca Tabasky said, “As they spend time together and become invested in each others’ development and successes, our fellows make magic at the intersections of their broad range of expertise, perspectives, methods, and pursuits.”Īs written in last year’s report on our fellowship program, the Center endeavors to “create a protocol, a culture, a spirit that puts the emphasis on being open, being kind, being good listeners, being engaged, being willing to learn from one another.” These relationships, as well as the countless fruitful engagements with alumni, partners, interns, and other colleagues, are fundamental to the Berkman Klein Center’s work and identity, and serve to increase the capacity of the field and generate opportunities for lasting impact.
Honoring the networked ethos at the heart of the Center, faculty associates and affiliates from institutions the world over will actively participate as well. The class of fellows will primarily work in Cambridge, Massachusetts, alongside Berkman Klein faculty, students, and staff, as a vibrant community of research and practice. “And each shares a commitment to seeing modern technology developed and applied in the public interest - whose definition is itself thoughtfully debated.” “Our fellows bring unprecedentedly diverse backgrounds, along so many dimensions,” Jonathan Zittrain ’95, the co-founder of the Berkman Klein Center. This cohort brings a focus on the human stakes and values within dynamic technologies and systems. “What better way to embark on our new beginning as the Berkman Klein Center than to welcome this incredible group of colleagues from different parts of the world, renewing our commitment to collaboration and mutual learning across boundaries,” said the Center’s Executive Director Urs Gasser LL.M. A number of new fellows, faculty associates, and affiliates will join the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University for the 2016-2017 academic year.
