Susan Crawford is a Professor at Harvard Law School and the co-director at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. She was a Visiting Stanton Professor of the First Amendment at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and served as Special Assistant to the President for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy (2009).[1]

From 2005 until 2008, Crawford was a Director on the ICANN Board.[2] She has been considered a "prolific blogger" by Wired magazine and has written passionately about Net Neutrality. She is also the author of Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age, and co-author of The Responsive City: Engaging Communities Through Data-Smart Governance [3]

In January 2012, Crawford wrote a widely circulated article supporting ICANN and its new gTLD program. She warned that too much complaint against ICANN's process supports governments who want to govern the Internet solely, without representation from other groups, which could possibly restrict the free flow of information on the Internet.[4]

Career History

Susan has been a Board Member at Public Knowledge since 2010, and has been with the Cardozo School of law and the CDT since 2003.[5] She has previously been a Visiting Professor at the Yale School of Law and at University of Michigan Law School.[6]

Crawford co-led the FCC transition team between the US government Bush and Obama administrations, following which she served as Special Assistant to the President for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy through 2009.

She has previously served as a clerk for Judge Raymond J. Dearie of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and was a Partner at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, D.C. until the end of 2002.[7] As a lawyer, her practice included litigation, counseling, and transactional work focusing on intellectual property, advertising, privacy, domain names, and e-commerce policy issues. She decided to switch to academia because, as she said, "life is short." She had already been writing and had taught copyright at Georgetown University Law Center, and decided to devote herself to full-time teaching.[8]
