On Nov. 14th (11 am to 12 pm) REEESNe is holding a FREE webinar on digital hygiene, intended especially for students and scholars contemplating travel to Central Asia, the Caucasus, or Eastern Europe. While nothing can guarantee absolute safety for one's data, understanding the risks and the precautions that may mitigate them can make travel a more secure endeavor. Our speaker, journalist/producer Nikita Makarenko, is an experienced reporter and educator who has worked in the United States, Uzbekistan, and many other parts of the former Soviet Union, creating and traveling with film and print media content in both democratic and authoritarian contexts. The discussion will focus on some of the known risks of and strategies for traveling with data, hardware, and one's own internet/social media footprint in parts of Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
