In the past quarter century, cyberlaw has grown from a nascent set of ideas about how to make legal sense of the newly-arrived Internet to a wide-reaching and cross-cutting field that intersects with nearly every contemporary policy domain. Yet the massive growth of the field often has obscured the important interplay between cyberspace and the people that make it up.

The symposium, held in celebration of the recently released volume Feminist Cyberlaw, will draw together scholars to comment on the critical involvement of impacted communities in access to and governance of modern digital spaces. A rich morning of broad, intersectional conversations will broach the role of historically marginalized communities in the contexts of telecommunications networks, internet platforms, data, algorithms, and artificial intelligence.

This event is open to all students, faculty, staff, and community members—no special expertise or technical background is necessary. If you’re curious about the Internet, who gets to participate in policymaking discussions, or equity in digital spaces, we hope you’ll join us for some or all of the event!

The Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship is an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Colorado Law School.
