In this edition of The Record we are highlighting a significant curricular change at the Nebraska Governance and Technology Center (NGTC) that has important implications not only for students at UNL Law, but also for the ways in which Law and Technology is taught as a discipline. Traditionally a pedagogical weakness in the way that law and other fields have been taught is that they have been approached as if they exist in silos, with interdisciplinary discussions being ancillary to what is otherwise a narrow-bore approach to a subject.

Over the past two years, we have been working to establish a new center for the study of technology governance at the University of Nebraska. This Center – the Nebraska Governance and Technology Center – was formally established last February, and formally launched today.  Needless to say, I’m excited!

This website contains a lot of information about the Center, which I hope you will peruse – and we hope that it will rapidly grow as we start doing all the things that we plan to do. This post shares some of the thinking about the purpose of this center.
