Faculty

Professor L. Jean Camp is the author of Trust and Risk in Internet Commerce (MIT Press), Economics of Identity Theft (Springer) and the editor of Economics of Information Security (Kluwer Academic). She has authored over one hundred works, including seventy peer-reviewed works and eighteen book chapters. In addition to presentations at peer-reviewed venues, she has made scores of invited presentations on four continents. Her service has included the Board of Directors of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, the Board of Governors of the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology, Senior Member of the IEEE, and longstanding member of the USACM. See http://www.ljean.com/cv.html for more detailed information and full text of various publications.
Professor Kay Connelly is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Indiana University. Her research focuses on user acceptance of ubiquitous and mobile computing technologies where there is a delicate balance between such factors as convenience, control and privacy. She is currently investigating three application domains: 1. convenience applications such as automatically configuring a cell phone’s notification mechanism depending on the physical and social context of the cell phone owner, 2. health care applications to empower both the ill and the healthy to manage and improve their own health, and 3. work and learning applications such as a tool to assist students in gathering environmental data while simultaneously supporting data analysis in the field.
Lesa Lorenzen-Huber is a clinical assistant professor in the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. She teaches courses in the areas of Lifespan Development and Gerontology. She has twice received the TERA award for teaching excellence, the 2008 Trustees Teaching Award, and the 2003 Part-Time Faculty recognition award from the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education. She was a co-PI on a US Dept. of Education three year grant to develop and implement a full gerontology curriculum online. She is a co-PI on a pilot project using technology to improve balance in rural elders. Her research interests include gerontology and geriatric education for health care professionals, physical activity and aging, creativity and aging, gerotechnology, and pedagogical strategies in distributed education.
Kalpana Shankar is an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University. Her research projects focus on the uses of documents and data (digital and otherwise) in science and emergent work practices in science and technology. She is also interested in research ethics and methodologies for understanding these topics from social science perspectives.

Graduate Students

William R. Hazlewood is PhD Candidate and acting lab manager for ETHOS. William is interested in information sources that are highly non-invasive, and “easy to ignore.” His responsibilities in the lab involve technology support, and management of all projects taking place within the lab.
Daniel O. Kutz is a doctoral student at the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University, Bloomington. His research interests are in human-computer interaction and social informatics. Specifically he is interested in understanding how values are inscribed into information systems and how this mediates the interaction.
John F. Duncan is a PhD Candidate in the Computer Science department of the School of Informatics, studying under Jean Camp. His research interests include exploring security and privacy issues at all stages of life. His research includes explorations of the mechanisms underlying social networking and their application to group security and projects such as the Portal Monitor, an example of Privacy-Aware security design. headshot
