Professor Joh takes part in 'Power, Policing & Tech' event

On Sept. 18, Professor Elizabeth Joh participated in a “Power, Policing & Tech” virtual discussion presented as part of the joint American University Washington College of Law Tech, Law and Security (TLS) and Future Tense Policing and Technology Project.

The panel discussion explored the use of body cameras and other police surveillance technologies in the wake of George Floyd’s killing while in Minneapolis police custody. The webinar will be coupled with a series of articles, published by Slate, to address the role – positive and negative – technology can play in the pursuit of police reform.

Professor Joh's scholarship focuses on criminal procedure and policing, with a special emphasis on DNA evidence, undercover policing, and new surveillance technologies. She is the recipient of King Hall’s 2017 Distinguished Teaching Award.
