Spring Seminar Series 2023

Join us for a weekly webinar series organized by the Program on Democracy and the Internet (PDI) at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center (CPC). The webinars will take place every Tuesday, starting April 11 – June 6th from 12 PM - 1 PM PST with both in-person and virtual options. 

This quarter, we feature a variety of speakers who will discuss work and research the intersection of free speech, democracy, security, and digital communication technologies. Our speakers include those who focus on policy to others who concentrate on empirical work around cyber issues. There will be both in person and virtual zoom options and can register for all events in the series or single events.
