A Conversation with Cindy Cohn | safecomputing.umich.edu

Join us for a Privacy@Michigan event with Cindy Cohn. In this session, Cindy will talk about her recently published professional memoir. In "Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance" (MIT Press), Cindy weaves her own personal story with her role as a leading legal voice representing the rights and interests of technology users, innovators, whistleblowers, and researchers during the Crypto Wars of the 1990s, battles over NSA’s dragnet internet spying revealed in the 2000s, and the fight against FBI gag orders.

Hey All: Yiddish Kabbalt Shabbat this Friday!

If you are around Ann Arbor and interested in Jew stuff, it'll be a lot of klezmer and singing with extra glottal fricatives, and free eats to follow. Bring something to share, minding that the building is vegetarian and nut-free.

DETAILS:
• March 27 at 6:30pm at the JCC of Ann Arbor (2935 Birch Hollow Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48108)
• Vegetarian and Nut-Free Potluck to Follow
