Council Election 2024/Candidates
Chelsea Horne
- I am a Senior Professorial Lecturer at American University, where I am also a faculty fellow at the Internet Governance Lab. I hold a Ph.D. in Communication with a focus area on media, technology, and culture. My areas of research encompass communication, privacy, internet governance, AI policy, digital culture, and information integrity.
- Currently, I am serving as Co-Convenor (Vice-President) of the ISOC-DC interim Council. During my short tenure and in collaboration with Joly MacFie, I have organized the two most recent ISOC-DC events: 1) a panel featuring internationally recognized experts, and 2) ISOC-DC’s Annual General Meeting. I have also represented the DC Council at ISOC events.
- I’m standing for re-election as I am greatly involved with the reboot of ISOC-DC and I believe my continuity on the Council will help rebuild the institutional knowledge and history to bring back ISOC-DC to full force.
- With its prime location in the nation’s capital, ISOC-DC has the opportunity to be at the forefront of internet policy conversations. As I did with the first edition of the Cyber Lecture Series “Innovation for Good: A Conversation on the Internet’s Future,” I would continue to work with ISOC-DC on fostering and hosting events that address the critical and urgent internet policy questions of the moment, engaging both the local and global internet communities. I also look forward to work with the new Council to forward the mission of ISOC.
