RIGHT TO PRIVACY

Tulane Law Professor Amy Gajda’s book “Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy” was named to the The New York Times’ annual “100 Notable Books of 2022” list. The Times writes, “Gajda, who was a journalist before becoming a law professor, is a nimble storyteller; even if some of her conclusions are bound to be contentious, she’s an insightful guide to a rich and textured history that gets easily caricatured, especially when a culture war is raging.”https://tulane.it/right-to-privacy

PRIVACY ISSUES

Law Professor Amy Gajda’s new book, Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy (Viking, 2022), was named one of spring’s most anticipated nonfiction books by The New York Times. “Gajda traces the history of the right to privacy and its (understandably fraught) relationship in the United States with the First Amendment. She examines the tension that has persisted over the years in the tug of war between ‘the right to know’ on one side and ‘the right to be let alone’ on the other.”https://tulane.it/privacy-issues
