My name is Lokman Tsui. I am a Policy Adviser with Google and the company’s lead for free expression, academic relations and open government in Asia Pacific. Before I joined Google, I was an Assistant Professor in Media and Communication at City University of Hong Kong from 2010-2011. I received my PhD degree from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania; my dissertation received the Gene Burd Journalism Research Prize for Best Dissertation in Journalism Studies.
I was a Fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society from 2008-2009. I am also co-editor of The Hyperlinked Society: Questioning Connections in the Digital Age (2008) together with Dr. Turow. I was guest editor of China Information for a theme issue on the socio-political impact of the Internet in China. My articles have appeared in Global Dialogue, China Information and in the newsletter for the International Institute for Asian Studies.
I contribute to and blog at Shouting Loudly (together with friends Bill Herman, Dave Karpf, Paul Falzone and Jason Tocci).
