<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Subscribers to LT,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am happy to join your community. Here are a few words about me.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am an associate professor at Georgia Tech, in <a href="https://spp.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">
the School of Public Policy</a>. I do research on Internet policy, both from a political science perspective (the design of institutions) and from a communications perspective, (propaganda on the net.)
<a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=sKHEyxUAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao" target="_blank">Here</a> is some of my research. I did my PhD in political science at MIT, where I took at least one class with Josh Cohen.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some time ago I was the Chair of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR), and I led CPSR’s work in Internet governance. In that role, I was very active in the early years of ICANN and in WSIS. Through CPSR I met Terry
Winograd.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of my current research interests is in US programs for democracy promotion. A question that fascinates me both historically and philosophically is, can “democracy promotion” actually undermine democracy? In part this question is informed
by recent history in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and many other countries on the receiving end of democracy promotion. In part, it is informed by an intellectual interest in the convergence of domestic and international politics.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for having me on this list. Unfortunately, due to my current obligations I cannot be very active on this list for now. But I have already had some interesting connections, and I look forward to more.<u></u><u></u></p>
