Professor Susan H. Perry, a specialist in international human rights law and digital technology, teaches law and politics at The American University of Paris and directs several of the University’s graduate programs. Both a scholar and activist, Dr. Perry’s work focuses on vulnerable populations – women, children and communities in conflict – whose rights are being violated by the State, society or industry, often in breach of binding legal conventions.
Her most recent books analyze the nexus between digital technology, human rights and deliberative democracy: Illusion Pixel in French (Lemieux Editions 2015); Human Rights and Digital Technology (Palgrave 2017); and a third project under way on the digital divide in education. Dr. Perry has collaborated on several projects funded by the European Commission, and her privacy-by-design curriculum, which includes a substantive gender component, was selected by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) for the 2014 Roadmap for NIS Education Programmes in Europe. She was named an Advisory Board member of SHERPA, a Horizon 2020 European Commission grant on the ethical use of artificial intelligence in Europe.
Dr. Perry has just been named to the French Human Rights Commission (Commissions nationale consultative des droits de l'homme) for a three year term.
