Articles

Losing Face: An Environmental Analysis of Privacy on Facebook ^[1] is a draft (posted for comment) that has been submitted to law reviews for publication (read more here ^[2]). Losing Face is a heavily revised and refined adaptation of my honors thesis ^[3] for the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Critical Legal Studies Department, which was profiled in the New York Times ^[4] in the summer of 2009. Losing Face examines the privacy problems of Facebook, develops a conceptual framework to explain what went wrong, and draws upon insights from sociology, behavioral economics, and human-computer interaction to suggest solutions. This is a working paper/draft, not for publication. Please contact me before citing.
