jean camp
Bio: "Jean Camp is an Associate Professor at the School of Informatics, Adjunct Professor of Telecommunications, and an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Indiana University. Officially she is on leave as Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard. She is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
Jean Camp is a pioneer in the interdisciplinary study of trust and design for values. Professor Camp joined Informatics after becoming an Associate Professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. At the Kennedy School she founded the information technology policy group, which has become integrated into a collaborative effort across multiple schools for the study of design and values. In the School of Informatics, she is Chair of the Security Informatics Research Group. She has been also affiliated with the Program for Internet and Telecoms Convergence for nearly a decade. While at Harvard she was affiliated with the National Center for Digital Government. She served two terms as a Director of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility and two terms as President of the International Financial Cryptography Association. (A full list of activities is available on her cv.) Her first book, Trust and Risk in Internet Commerce, was the first to propose the now widely-used definition of trust as including privacy, reliability and security. Her early work on technical trust in social context included examination of technical and policy conflicts between dimensions of trust in e-commerce, libraries and in information searching. Her concepts of trust in research have been built upon spatial metaphors and she is working on developing mechanisms for placing trust into social context."
