Meg Leta Jones

I am a Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor and cartoonist in the Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) program at Georgetown University where I research rules and technological change.  My current research revolves around family technology policy, and I collaborate on related projects with incredible Georgetown colleagues and students. 

​

Ctrl+Z: The Right to be Forgotten, my first book, is about the social, legal, and technical issues surrounding digital oblivion. My second book project, The Character of Consent tells the transatlantic history of digital consent through the lens of the familiar cookie.

Advised by Paul Ohm (who now co-teaches the Tech Impact Lab course with me at Georgetown) I earned a Ph.D. from the ATLAS Institute at the University of Colorado, Engineering and Applied Science. Prior to pursuing a Ph.D., I earned a J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law, where I focused on technology and information issues. Most recently I've trained to be a cartoonist with the Sequential Artists Workshop. Much of my work is pursued collaboratively as a founding faculty member with Georgetown's Center for Digital Ethics and a faculty fellow with the Institute for Technology Law & Policy.
