Title: The Psychology & Economics of Privacy Decisions in the Digital Age
Abstract: The seminar will cover major topics in the multi-disciplinary domain of privacy starting with the basic principles of privacy and security and closing with data practices and implications at the individual, organizational, and country level. Topics related to privacy regulations, surveillance systems, social engineering, and ethics will also be touched upon briefly. The seminar will have more emphasis on empirical research related to privacy manipulation techniques that can influence individuals’ privacy decisions. Such manipulation techniques may not only expose personal information assets, but also directly or indirectly expose organizational information assets which could present catastrophic security risks at the individual, organizational, and country level. The seminar will leave you with substantial soft knowledge and skills that will help you make informed privacy decisions.
