For "Intro to Data Privacy" this year, I wanted to show students a brief glimpse of the breadth of privacy perspectives in law. I offered a selection of readings and asked students to choose just one to read/skim and share insights with the class.

Here's the list of readings:

"'I’ve Got Nothing to Hide' and Other Misconceptions of Privacy" by @DanielSolove https://scholarship.law.gwu.edu/faculty_publications/158/

"Democratic Surveillance" by @ma_franks https://repository.law.miami.edu/fac_articles/473/

"About Ned" by Charles E. Coleman https://harvardlawreview.org/2016/01/about-ned/

"What Privacy Is For" by @julie17usc https://harvardlawreview.org/2013/05/what-privacy-is-for/

"Privacy Rights and Public Families" by Khiara Bridges https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1926757

"The Economics of Privacy" by Alessandro Acquisti, Curtis R. Taylor, Liad Wagman https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2580411

And, last but not least, a video option: Anita L. Allen speaking on “The Home as Public and Private" for the Hannah Arendt Center https://vimeo.com/149477501 

It is far too easy for lawyers and law students to think of privacy as a compliance checklist. The goal of this exercise was to fight that impulse by presenting just a small slice of the wide range of privacy perspectives out there.
