Event Navigation

The University of Wisconsin-Superior’s Jim Dan Hill Library presents the fifth speaker in a free multipart series entitled, “Data Deluge: Privacy in a Connected World.” Sarah Igo, Andrew Jackson professor of history and Dean of Strategic Initiatives for the School of Arts and Science at Vanderbilt University, will lead the discussion “Social Insecurities: Privacy and Personal Data in Modern America.”

This community event will take place in the Jim Dan Hill Library’s main floor and will also be livestreamed on YouTube.

In this talk, Igo will chart the relationships individuals have with their Social Security number in order to explore the changing complex of identity, identification and privacy in the modern United States.

Igo teaches and writes about modern American intellectual, cultural, legal and political history, with research interests in the production of knowledge, the politics of data, the human sciences, and the history of privacy and the public sphere.

This event, sponsored by the Tommy G. Thompson Center for Public Leadership, is a multipart speaker series discussing the timely issues of data and privacy in the digital age.
