Kenneth Farrall, PhD (ABD) at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, studies the social impact of electronic network communication technologies in four general areas: surveillance, social networks, social instability, and voting. Ken served as a research fellow at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) in 2004, where he designed and produced the web site for the National Committee for Voting Integrity (votingintegrity.org) and drafted congressional testimony on the privacy implications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. In the summer of 2005, he attended the Oxford Internet Institute in Beijing, where he presented his ongoing work in web graph analysis and the Internet's role in episodes of political instability.
More recently, Ken is researching and writing his doctoral dissertation, which compares the deployment of national identification systems and their associated databases in the United States and China. Ken received a bachelor's degree in Political and Social Thought from the University of Virginia and a master's degree in Asian Studies from the University of Texas at Austin.
