SUMMARY:The Surveillant University
DESCRIPTION:Teresa Scassa\, University of Ottawa \nCovid-19 exacerbated the issues surrounding surveillance by universities that have been present since the introduction of remote proctoring. How do remote learning technologies implemented by universities affect personal privacy? How does remote proctoring effect student performance\, and is there inequity in how these technologies effect different students? Teresa Scassa of the University of Ottawa Law School examines all of these factors during her talk\, “The Surveillant University.” \nWatch the seminar here.

SUMMARY:(Book Launch) Doing Global Fieldwork: A Social Scientist's Guide to Mixed-Methods Research Far from Home
DESCRIPTION:CGM hosted a book launch of Doing Global Fieldwork: A Social Scientist’s Guide to Mixed-Methods Research Far from Home (Columbia University Press\, 2021). Author Jesse Driscoll (University of California – San Diego) presented the major themes of his book\, a practical and honest how-to guide for new and seasoned researchers alike. \nHe discussed some of the major stages and key questions common to the research process including the abstract planning phase to the unavoidable stage where you are forced to change something in your research plan. Drawing on years of his own field research in political science across several countries\, Driscoll drilled down to what he feels is the key to successful fieldwork: improvisational pluralism. Ana Arjona (Northwestern) provided remarks and comments on the book.

SUMMARY:Smart City Governance Presentations by Associate Director Martin Weiss
DESCRIPTION:More than half of the world’s population live in cities and that number is expected to grow to nearly three quarters by 2050. Increasingly\, cities are eager to position themselves as the ‘Smart Cities’ of the future\, but what qualifies a city to be designated as ‘smart’? How can communities better design their cities\, harnessing tech solutions to address congestion\, environmental degradation\, inequality\, accessibility\, data privacy\, and many other challenges? CGM has an ongoing research collaboration with Seoul National University on these very questions and the governance implications of smart city design. CGM works closely with SNU on their Global Open Innovation Networks and Groups (GOING) initiative to foster international collaboration around these technologies. \nCGM Associate Director Martin Weiss discussed this research at two conferences co-hosted by SNU. First\, on the topic of Governance Capacity Development and co-hosted with the UN Department of Economics and Social Affairs. The series was part of their larger initiative: Strengthening Public Governance & Accelerating Innovation to Achieve Agenda 2030. Weiss was featured at the April 9 session with his talk\, Smart for Whom? On the Governance of the Smart City. \nSNU also co-hosted the Virtual Knowledge Exchange on Smart Cities for Sustainable Development organized with the World Bank Group Open Learning Campus and the Korea Program for Operational Knowledge (KPOK). The month-long conference was structured around four thematic areas: Green\, Smart\, Development\, and Vision. It gathered together global experts to promote knowledge sharing and foster a community of practice for smart city development worldwide. Weiss joined an expert panel with Dr. Jun-seok Hwang from SNU\, sharing his research into radio spectrum sharing\, coordinating stakeholders within network design\, and standardizing processes to solve major city challenges through innovative use of technology\, data\, and available resources. Watch the panel.

SUMMARY:Possessive Individualism: A Crisis of Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Democracies around the world are confronting growing mistrust and alienation among citizens\, often thought to be caused by rising economic inequality and stagnant wages. On March 23\, 2021\, the Center for Governance and Markets welcomed Daniel Bromley\, Anderson-Bascom Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison\, for a conversation about his recent book\, Possessive Individualism: A Crisis of Capitalism (Oxford University Press\, 2019)\, as part of the Coexistence in Pluralistic Society seminar. \nPossessive individualism\, Bromley argues\, is dually shaped by untethered individually driven consumption and managerial capitalism which produces men and women who do not believe they owe anything to their communities or societies. This leads to rising societal alienation and mistrust in institutions\, which Bromley believes will grow exponentially if not adequately addressed. Central to this vision is a reimagining of the firm as a public trust in which we are as concerned about workers as we are with CEOs who\, in the US\, make nearly 300 times the pay of the average worker. \nMark Pennington\, Professor of Political Economy at King’s College London\, served as the featured discussant\, offering a principled and thought-provoking reply to Bromley’s argument. Professor Pennington agreed that inequality and alienation are problematic and should be addressed. However\, Pennington argues that these phenomena are not directly linked to possessive individualism and that they should be weighed against the significant positive impacts of capitalism. He points to the global reduction in poverty around the world and the overall increases in human well-being across diverse communities. Given this progress\, Pennington asks if we should be concerned with slightly rising income inequality in the UK or the US if\, on average\, individuals are much better off today than at any other point in history? \nTogether\, these contrasting perspectives offer much food for thought as to the origins of the current discontent with capitalism and what ought to be done about it\, as well as insights into the future of democracy and capitalism. \n\n\nSpeakers\nDaniel Bromley is emeritus Professor of applied economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and for decades served as the editor of Land Economics. His research contributes to institutional economics\, natural resource management\, environmental economics\, and democratic theory. He has written over 15 books\, including Sufficient Reason: Volitional Pragmatism and the Meaning of Economic Institutions (Princeton University Press\, 2009).\nMark Pennington is Professor of political economy and public policy at King’s College London\, where he directs the Centre for the Study of Governance and Society at King’s College London and recently served as head of the Department of Political Economy. Along with numerous books and articles on classical liberalism\, environmental policy and planning\, and political economy\, Pennington is the author of Robust Political Economy: Classical Liberalism and the Future of Public Policy (Edward Elgar Publishing\, 2011) which provides a comprehensive defense of classical liberalism.

SUMMARY:To What End? On Infrastructural Governance
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Governance and Markets hosted a talk by Brett Frischmann (Villanova University)\, on March 4\, 2021\, as part of the Future of Law in Technology and Governance virtual seminar series. Frischmann presented his research on infrastructure theory\, “To What End? On Infrastructural Governance.”  \nHis research focuses on the intersection of governance of the knowledge commons\, engineering human choices\, and the social value of infrastructure. When looking at new infrastructure possibilities\, especially those deemed as smart technology\, many designs aim for frictionless transactions for speed and efficiency. Frischmann strongly cautions against this\, arguing that purposefully building friction into systems allows for humans to deliberately engage with normative questions including how smart should infrastructure be? Should it be a CEO or software programmer who decides the value or logic system of a particular smart technology? These questions don’t have a right answer and the answers will likely vary from community to community. As such\, he shows\, a polycentric and careful approach to designing smart infrastructure is necessary.

SUMMARY:Community and Belonging in Fracturing Societies
DESCRIPTION:Universal human rights have long been regarded as a foundation to peaceful societies. Despite nearly three quarters of a century of this being the dominant theory within liberal governance and legal systems\, sustained peaceful coexistence between communities remains an ongoing global challenge. \nCGM hosted a discussion exploring whether the human rights regime approach structures peaceful societies. This event is part of CGM’s Coexistence in Pluralistic Societies virtual seminar series. \nAbout the Speakers \nAdam Seligman is Professor of Religion at Boston University and Director of CEDAR–Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion. \nDavid Montgomery is Associate Research Professor of Government and Politics at University of Maryland and Director of Program Development of CEDAR–Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion. \nJohn Holmwood is emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at University of Nottingham and Senior Researcher in the Centre for Science Technology and Society Studies of the Institute for Philosophy at the Czech Academy of Science.

SUMMARY:Competing Algorithms for Law: Sentencing\, Admissions\, and Employment
DESCRIPTION:Frank Fagan (EDHEC Business School) presented on his recent paper with Saul Levmore\, “Competing Algorithms for Law: Sentencing\, Admissions\, and Employment.” Algorithms increasingly pervade economic and social organization but their legal applications are just emerging. Fagan’s research explores the growing nexus of artificial intelligence and law\, specifically the use of sentencing algorithms to predict rates of recidivism. He argues that state-run competitions for sentencing algorithms could mitigate problems with retrofitting and disclosure. Fagan postulates that the powerful synthesis of competitive advantages for algorithms and human judges will guide innovation in law.

SUMMARY:Watched\, Stopped\, and Handcuffed: The Effects of Direct and Indirect Police Contact on the Health of Black Women
DESCRIPTION:Presented by April Fernandes\, North Carolina State University. \nIn the era of “new policing\,” the health consequences of increased surveillance\, stops and arrests on Black individuals and communities has become an important consideration. Most of the existing research focuses on Black men due to their disproportionate level of contact with law enforcement\, finding negative health impacts from various points of contact. However\, Black women remain often invisible in such work\, despite recent high profiles incidents of police violence (for notable exceptions\, see Sewell et al. 2016; Ritchie 2017; Richie 2012; Jacobs 2017; Fedina 2018). This study focuses on the physical and mental effects of both direct and indirect contact with law enforcement on Black women using a data set from the Black Families Project\, which only samples those who identify as Black or African American. \nView the talk here: Watched\, Stopped\, & Handcuffed: Effects of Police Contact on the Health of Black Women

SUMMARY:The Rule of Code: Challenges in Regulating Decentralized Blockchain-based Systems
DESCRIPTION:Professor Wright (Cardozo Law\, Yeshiva University) presented on the emerging regulatory challenges surrounding public blockchains. He discussed how smart contracts are helping to create scarcity in the digital world and beginning to create a new commercial stack. Smart contracts tend to have designs that are alegal and are built on decentralized technologies that appear to have no center\, creating a host of regulatory issues. He argues that these challenges will require governments to adapt with new forms of laws\, regulations\, and rules outside of the typical bureaucratic approach.
