PENN STATE CAREY LAW — Anita L. Allen, Henry R. Silverman Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy, has received a 2023 Privacy Papers for Policymakers (PPPM) Award for her pathbreaking article, “Dismantling the ‘Black Opticon’: Privacy, Race, Equity, and Online Data-Protection Reform.” Published in the Yale Law Journal Forum, Allen’s article introduces a critical analysis of the particularized vulnerabilities African Americans experience through online surveillance, exclusion, and exploitation.
