Nancy King, an associate professor of business law in the College of Business, will spend several months next year doing research on privacy law in Belgium with a research grant from the Fulbright Scholar Program.
King will be doing research on privacy issues related to the increasing use of cell phones as a portal for electronic commerce (mobile-commerce) under the European Union Affairs Research Program in Belgium.
Her host institution is the University of Notre-Dame de la Paix in Namur, Belgium, where she will work with the Center of Recherches Informatique Et Droit (CRID). King will join the law faculty from the host university to conduct collaborative research with European Union scholars on personal privacy and related data protection concerns that are arising in electronic commerce.
