New book on human rights in the Information Society

Posted on June 23, 2006 by
human rights in info society

I just found out about a new book on Human Rights in the Global Information Society edited by my friend Rikke Frank Jørgensen. Published by MIT Press, the contributors to this volume

examine the links between information technology and human rights from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Scholars, human rights activists, and practitioners discuss such topics as freedom of expression, access to information, privacy, discrimination, gender equality, intellectual property, political participation, and freedom of assembly in the context of the revolution in information and communication technology, exploring the ways in which the information society can either advance human rights around the world or threaten them.

Only $25 and jammed full of human rights-y goodness!

In related news, noted Egyptian blogger Alaa has been freed from prison. Chinese blogger Hao Wu remains imprisoned however. The struggle continues…

    Anyway, I’m working on the techsoup NGO in SL directory and was wondering what you’ve discovered in terms of nonprofit activity in SL? If you follow the link above to the writely document, you will see what we’ve collected so far. So, any additional leads or info would be fabulous!
