SPEAKER
Camille Crittenden - Deputy Director, CITRIS & Director, Data and Democracy,
CITRIS at UC Berkeley
ABSTRACT
Social media and new technology are being harnessed for social benefit in
contexts from healthcare, economic development, and sustainable energy to civic
engagement and government transparency in California and worldwide. The Center
for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) takes
an interdisciplinary approach to addressing these problems and promoting
innovation for students, faculty and entrepreneurs. In this talk, I will give a
short overview of CITRIS's programs and initiatives, before diving into
specific projects in the areas I lead: the Data and Democracy Initiative and
the Social Apps Lab.
Camille Crittenden joined the Data and Democracy Initiative as Director in May
2012 and was named Deputy Director of CITRIS in May 2013. Prior to this
appointment, she served as Executive Director of the Human Rights Center at
Berkeley Law, where she was responsible for overall administration of the
Center, including fundraising, communications, and outreach, and helped to
develop its program in human rights, technology, and new media. She held
previous positions as Assistant Dean for Development in the division of
International and Area Studies at UC Berkeley and in development and public
relations at University of California Press and San Francisco Opera. She holds
a Ph.D. from Duke University.
