On the Identity Trail Project

On the Identity Trail: Objectives

A central objective of the project is to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue that will generate research results of practical value to policy makers and the broader public. Our project brings together North American and European research talent from varying disciplines and sectors. The twenty-three participants on our team are determined to have a positive influence on policy and technological outcomes. They include a distinguished array of philosophers, ethicists, feminists, cognitive scientists, lawyers, cryptographers, engineers, policy analysts, government policy makers, privacy experts, business leaders, blue chip companies, and successful start-ups. Our research partners include institutions in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

Research results will be of special interest to corporations and to domestic as well as international governmental bodies. We aim to have an impact on the public and private sector, the individual as a consumer, and the individual as citizen, affecting the way that we communicate and transact business with one another, our moral discourse, and our approach to law reform and social policy.
