Juan Ortiz Freuler

My academic research focuses on how information flows through networks. I am particularly interested in how different actors exercise their power to re-network information flows and impact on  human knowledge. I approach this question by studying the behavior of stakeholders participating in internet governance processes, which includes governments, private companies, civil society, academic institutions, among others. I focus on geopolitics, antitrust and the influence of funding on research and advocacy.

Previously a Senior Policy Fellow at the Web Foundation and a Google Policy Fellow, I have also worked with several NGOs in Mexico and Argentina at the intersection of rights and ICTs. I  believe equality and inclusion are necessary conditions for the long-term sustainability of communities, and am passionate about the role ICTs can play in achieving more just social arrangements. 

I still think like a lawyer (DiTella), but have completed Masters in Public Policy (BSG-Oxford) and Social Science of the Internet (Oxford Internet Institute), through which I developed technical skills for the quantitative and qualitative assessment of policies. I am currently pursuing a PhD at Annenberg, USC. I would point to curiosity as my defining trait.
