A former lawyer from London, and Research Assistant at Harvard Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, now an ITP graduate student, Catherine White conducts research in the field of productive participatory discussion.  At the heart of all my work is how we can connect and understand each other better.

I am interested in lots of things, these are my current areas of research:

The Noisy Idiot Problem (ITP Thesis) – Spring 2010

Policy Work at Berkman Center – Summer 2009

Legal Career (London)

Museum and other Nonprofit Work

I am a Micro-Trustee of the Awesome Foundation in NYC and also currently an intern at Human Rights Watch working on using social media tools to engage with a new donor demographic.  In addition to nonprofits, Awesome and ITP, I love to sail.
