Responsive Communities Initiative

Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University

The Responsive Communities Initiative led by Susan Crawford at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University addresses some of the most important issues of economic development, social justice, and civil liberties of our time - those prompted by Internet access. The program has three areas of research involving the internet, data, and government: Internet Access Infrastructure, Data Governance, and Responsive Communities Leaders. Come learn about the current state of the programs research, what they hope to achieve, and how Internet access could be regulated as a utility and open government data can improve our communities.
Susan Crawford is John A. Reilly Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and Co-Director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. She is the author of Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age, co-author of The Responsive City: Engaging Communities Through Data-Smart Governance, and a contributor to Medium.com’s Backchannel.
