Rodino Center at Seton Hall Law

This week, we are highlighting Professor Gaia Bernstein’s “Unwired” - a book that delves into what we can do to counter technology-dependence and even addiction. Professor Bernstein recently reflected on her writing process, “In 2017, through the Law School’s Institute for Privacy Protection, I founded a school outreach program for students and their parents about technology overuse. People were barely aware of the topic at the time. I spoke to parents and believed that bringing awareness and exercising self-help would solve the problem. I was going to write a book titled “Technology Addiction and the Power of Awareness.” But within two years, sensing the parents’ growing despair and powerlessness, I realized that awareness was not making a difference. I ended up writing a book about the need to shift from internal home battles to collective action in the public sphere to apply pressure on technology companies to re-design their addictive products.”

Available at the Rodino Center. 📚

Next week, Abigail Williams will visit us to speak with students about the resources and tools they can leverage with their Westlaw accounts. Stop by from 12 - 1:30 pm on Wednesday, September 25 in the Rodino Center Learning Suite (located on the fourth floor by the printers!)

📚NEW to the Faculty Collection📚 Professor Solangel Maldonado’s, The Architecture of Desire is the latest addition to our Faculty Collection at the Rodino Center. In this book, Professor Maldonado argues that the law influences the intimate choices of individuals by structuring the space in which people meet and interact.

Professor Maldanado recently shared how she came up with the title of her book. “I came up with The Architecture of Desire after reading Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law in which he demonstrates how the government—federal, state, and local—shaped our neighborhoods and schools and thus was the architect of segregation. As I was working on the book, it became evident that anti-miscegenation laws, segregation, discriminatory immigration rules, exclusionary zoning, the K-12 public school assignment system, and spatial segregation similarly shaped our romantic preferences. Thus, the law was the architect (or one of the architects) of our racial preferences.”

Available now in the Rodino Law Library.
