Jeffrey Rosen
Leading security expert, author
Jeffrey Rosen is one of the leading speakers and writers on the issue of privacy and security in post-9/11 America. He is a strong advocate of using well-designed laws and technologies to strike an effective and reasonable balance between liberty, privacy and security; and he offers a penetrating account of why some are reluctant to adopt the appropriate laws and technologies necessary to accomplish these goals.
Drawing on a broad range of sources--from the psychology of fear, to the latest airport alerts and security technologies--Rosen explores reasons that the public, legislatures, courts and technologists have made feel-good choices that give us the illusion of security without actually making us safer. He describes the dangers of adopting poorly designed laws and technologies that can make us less free while distracting our attention from terrorism responses more likely to be successful.
An expert on the judicial system, his 2007 release "The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America" (Times Books) examines the Court`s history of bench rivalries, and ways in which justices guided by strong ideology spar with those more conforming to evolving ideology (and more likely to forge coalitions). Rosen also illustrates how temperament relates to judicial success or failure, and the subsequent effects on American society.
In 2006, Rosen authored "The Most Democratic Branch: How the Courts serve America" (Oxford University Press), providing an in-depth look at some of the most important Supreme Court cases in American history--cases involving racial equality, affirmative action, abortion, gay rights and marriage, the right to die, electoral disputes and civil liberties in wartime.
In "The Naked Crowd: Reclaiming Security and Freedom in an Anxious Age" (Random House, 2005), Rosen details how to preserve the American ideals of freedom, privacy and security in an information economy, via the use of emerging technologies. And the New York Times dubbed his book "The Unwanted Gaze: The Destruction of Privacy in America" (Random House, 2000) "the definitive text on privacy perils in the digital age."
Rosen is a provocative storyteller whose insight is essential intelligence for everyone in the digital age. He proposes ways of reconstructing the zones of privacy that law and technology have been allowed to invade. For organizations seeking to answer the questions posed by technology, he instills a deeper understanding to both employee and customer relations.
AT A GLANCE: Jeffrey Rosen is a professor at the George Washington University Law School and legal affairs editor of The New Republic. He is a graduate of Harvard College, summa cum laude; Balliol College at Oxford University, where he was a Marshall Scholar; and Yale Law School. His essays and book reviews have appeared in publications including the New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker; and the Chicago Tribune named him one of the "10 Best Magazine Journalists in America." Rosen lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Christine.
