Bill Aspray

I am a professor in the School of Informatics at Indiana University in Bloomington, where I teach social informatics and organizational informatics.  I hold courtesy appointments in computer science, library and information science, and history and philosophy of science.  I just joined IU this year after six years as executive director of Computing Research Association.  My graduate training is in mathematical logic and history of science, but I have taught in various kinds of departments ranging from math and computer science to history and public policy at Williams, Harvard, Minnesota, Rutgers, and other places.  I also was a staff director at IEEE in the distant past.

My IT policies have been focused primarily on workforce issues and under-representation of women and minorities.  I am currently editing a survey book for non-specialists on IT policy and politics, covering the entire spectrum of issues.  I expect to begin teaching social and political aspects of cybersecurity and information assurance next academic year.
