Privacy Law Scholars Conference 2021

The Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) is an annual event dedicated to advancing scholarship in privacy law and related fields. Organized by a committee of leading academics and practitioners, PLSC provides a platform for in-depth discussions and critiques of ongoing research, fostering collaboration among scholars from diverse disciplines.

The 2021 conference featured a wide array of topics, including surveillance practices, constitutional privacy issues, data protection laws in various jurisdictions, and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Sessions such as "Surveillance and the Tyrant Test" and "Reckoning with Roots: Constitutional Privacy and White Supremacy" highlighted the conference's commitment to addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of privacy law.

In addition to paper presentations, PLSC 2021 offered mentoring sessions for junior scholars, virtual networking opportunities through platforms like Gather.town, and interactive discussions led by discussants who introduced and facilitated conversations on each paper. This format encouraged active participation and constructive feedback from all attendees.

PLSC is particularly beneficial for academics, legal practitioners, policymakers, and technologists interested in the evolving landscape of privacy law. Attendees gain insights into cutting-edge research, engage with peers across disciplines, and contribute to shaping the future of privacy scholarship.
