Dear digital divide folks: Hello--my name is Sonia Katyal, and I am a South Asian law professor who specializes in intellectual property and civil rights with a focus on new media at Fordham Law School in New York City. I am writing, first of all to say hello, and second, because I am planning a trip to India in December, specifically to Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi, and would love to meet up with folks on this list serve. Part of the reason I am heading to India is hopefully to speak to law students and lawyers regarding Fordham's new one year intellectual property/ information technology law program, which is a great program that we have started here to introduce foreign law graduates about U.S. law in copyright, trademark, patent, and new media. Because of my background, we are particularly interested in developing a closer relationship with law students and lawyers in South Asia, and would love to bring more students to Fordham who are interested in the issues surrounding intellectual! property law and technology.
Anyway, I should be in India throughout December, and would welcome the opportunity to meet and speak with folks on any other intellectual property issue that might be of interest. My own scholarly work concentrates on the relationship between copyright, trademark and civil rights protections like privacy and freedom of expression, and I would be happy to chat with folks about doing workshops or talks that may be of interest to them while I am in India. A bunch of law professors in the States are really interested in developing more relationships with cyberlaw folks in South Asia, and I'd love to hear more about some of the issues facing lawyers and scholars today. Please feel free to take a look at my faculty web site at Fordham Law School (http://law.fordham.edu). Please feel free to contact me individually off list if I can be of service to you--I would really be thrilled to meet up with cyberlaw folks while I am there. I'm planning to go to the Information Technology and Society meeting in hyderabad in December to do a presentation on Digital Divide and civil rights issues, and hope maybe some folks from this list will also be there. Finally, if you are interested, here is our web site on Fordham's one year program: http://www.llm-guide.com/university/287 Fordham is a really wonderful school--it ranks in the top 40 law schools in the U.S., and we are pleased to be one of the few schools offering a one year program in intellectual property based in New York City. It is also a really great place, with a big focus on intellectual property and globalization. thanks so much, and hope everyone is well. Looking forward to hearing from you, skk Sonia K.
