Copyright and Right to Research LectureSeries
Hosted by Professor Sean Flynn
ABOUT THE SERIES
Promoting “learning” and “science” were among the first purposes of early copyright laws. And human rights laws require states to respect, protect and promote rights to impart and receive information and to benefit from advances in science. This lecture series brings these two strands of law into conversation, and perhaps conflict, to explore the actual and ideal dimensions of the right to research in copyright law. The lectures discuss legal academic writings at the intersection of intellectual property, human rights, textand data mining research, international law, and advanced legal theory. Each lecture is being edited and published under an open license to enable reuse in educational and other contexts.
ABOUT THE HOST
Professor Flynn teaches courses on the intersection of intellectual property, trade law, and human rights and is the Director of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP). At PIJIP, Professor Flynn designs and manages a wide variety of research and advocacy projects that promote the public interest in intellectual property and information law and coordinates PIJIP’s academic program.
