Dear IRP Coalition,
I would like to stand for re-election to the IRPC Steering Committee. Please find statement below.
--
I joined the Internet Rights and Principles Dynamic Coalition in 2008 to help support the Charter draft and the general coalition effort at IGF Egypt (2009). I was honored to serve as Steering Committee Member from 2012-2013, as Co-Chair from 2013-2015, and as a post-chair standing member from 2015-2017. Some highlights working with/on behalf of the IRPC include the following:
>From 2009-2012 I managed social media for the IRP coalition (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube).
In 2011 I helped launch the IRP Charter site at IGF Nairobi and helped with the layout and editing of the printed version of the Charter.
At IGF Bali (2013) I helped organize and co-moderate (with Stuart Hamilton) the workshop “Rights for Disadvantaged Groups.”
I helped facilitate the IRPC contribution to the “NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement of São Paulo” and attended NETmundial on behalf of the IRPC in São Paulo.
At IGF Turkey (2014), I co-organized (with Marianne Franklin) and presented on the IRPC panel, “Anonymity by Design: Protecting While Connecting.” While in Turkey I also helped disseminate the Charter, and co-organize and co-chair the IRPC Organizing Meeting.
>From 2015 to present I have been provide support for the development of the Charter’s Resource Guide - initiated a couple of years ago by Kevin Kisser and Syracuse University law students. And more recently I have annotated the Guide to encourage further input on the draft leading up to IGF Geneva (2017). I am presently using the Resource Guide in support of “Human Rights in the Digital Age,” a course I developed as a CORE capstone course in support of my institution’s mission to serving the Common Good.
If elected to continue as IRPC Steering Member, I will continue the development of the Resource Guide as an educational resource but also as a vehicle for netrights outreach, as well as continue to support the the broader global dissemination of the Charter, to provide support of the IRPC at IGF in 2018 and 2019 (as funding allows), and to support the IRPC Co-Chairs' vision and future efforts.
In my professional capacity, I am Associate Professor of Communication and New Media Studies at the College of Mount St. Joseph (Cincinnati, OH) where I teach Human Rights in the Digital Age, New Media Ethics, Social Media & Social Change, and New Media and Society. In my scholarly research I apply political economy and social shaping approaches to the study of privacy and freedom of expression rights within sociotechnical systems (see: https://msj.academia.edu/RobertBodle). Select publications appear in the Journal of International Communication; Information, Communication, & Society; Computers & Society; and in book collections The Ethics of Emerging Media: Information, Social Norms, and New Media Technology (2011); Teaching Arts and Science with the New Social Media (2011); Generation Facebook (2011); The Ubiquitous Internet: User and Industry Perspectives (2014); and Explorations in Critical Advertising Studies (2016).
