http://www.jz.org
Jonathan is an internationally-known cyberlaw scholar. On completing a first
degree from Yale University in Cognitive Science and Artificial
Intelligence, he went on to gain a JD from Harvard Law School and a Masters
in Public Administration from Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of
Government. His recent research includes the study of Internet filtering by
national governments, the role of intermediaries as points of control in
Internet architecture, and the taxation of Internet commerce. He is the
founder of the H2O Project, which produces simple, unobtrusive but novel
tools for use in classrooms, and is co-founder of the Chilling Effects web
site, where Google and others report requests that information be censored.
He comes to the OII from Harvard Law School where he was the Jack N. and
Lillian R. Berkman Assistant Professor for Entrepreneurial Legal Studies. At
Harvard Law School he co-founded the Berkman Center for Internet and
Society. He will coordinate a significant research and teaching relationship
between the Berkman Centre and the OII, and is the Berkman Visiting
Professor at Harvard. Professor Zittrain is a Professorial Fellow of Keble
College, which has developed particular interest in computer science and
public policy.
