About this event
LETS Lab Conference 'Digital Rights 2.0': A Decade of Transformations for the Rule of Law
The main objective of this symposium is to establish a venue for sharing and discussing with the research community the ways in which human rights have been shaped by emerging technologies in the past decade: a decade that exposed the conceptual fragilities of the rule of law in data-driven environments and has been characterised by a disillusionment with human rights narratives, beginning with the Snowden revelations in 2013, followed by the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2015, leading up to the “fake news info-demic” in 2020. Such a revisionist approach does not only suggest an innovative means of interpreting social phenomena in a techno-legal setting, but it is much needed as a tool to evaluate past considerations and hypotheses and explore any lessons learned. In today’s fast-paced academic environment, we are rarely given the chance to explore current matters from such a wide angle: we aim to bring in a generalist perspective that transcends disciplinary boundaries and specialisms.
Attendance is free but registration is required. Online joining instructions will be emailed the day before the event.
