Discusses data privacy considerations in the context of digital technologies.
Our guest today is Emilee Rader, an associate professor at the Information School at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Emilee’s research focuses on the human-centered aspects of data privacy. She studies how people reason and make choices about data collection and inferences enabled by digital technologies to better understand why people struggle to manage their privacy and to discover new ways to help people gain more appropriate control over information about them.
