[Hello, the next lecture will be held on March 19th and Lisa Austin will be speaking. She will discuss the ever more fluid boundaries between internal and external, between private and public, and their relationship to new information and communcation technologies. Lisa will also discuss new ways of reconceptualizing privacy that are better suited for today's technological age. I think it will be a great lecture :-) Hope to see you there.

She will take the audience through a discussion of the changing relationship between the development and usage of information and communication technologies and privacy advocacy. Lisa Austin will provide some guidelines as to how privacy can be reconceptualized to better fit today's reality.
