Min Tang presents at the cyberconference “What is Information 2020”

IAS faculty member Min Tang attended the What is Information 2020 Cyberconference between April 30-May 2 and presented at the Law/Government Panel. Tang’s presentation on “Information, Imperialism and Geopolitics: A Critical Approach to Global Internet Governance” revisited the conceptualization of global Internet governance from a critical political economy approach and highlighted the complex nature of information as sites of geopolitical-economic rivalries.

This is the tenth annual “What is…?” hosted by the University of Oregon that examines the conceptualizations, implementations and topologies of information, technology and communication from cross-disciplinary approaches. In response to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, this year's conference was transformed into a fully virtual, cyberconference with participants from various time zones across the world.
