In Conversation with CIGI on Global Internet Governance

Misinformation, cyber warfare, and cybersecurity are rising threats to the stability and security of our way of life. Meanwhile, internet governance is becoming increasingly fragmented, with different countries pursuing different approaches. Joining us to discuss internet governance and the need for a global response are Aaron Shull and Nanjala Nyabola from the Centre for International Governance and Innovation (CIGI).

Aaron Shull is CIGI’s managing director and general counsel, and an expert on cyber security issues. Aaron acts as a strategic liaison between CIGI’s research initiatives and other departments while managing CIGI’s legal affairs and advising senior management on a range of legal, operational and policy matters

Nanjala Nyabola is a CIGI fellow and an independent writer and researcher based in Nairobi, Kenya. Her work focuses on the intersection between technology, media, and society. She is the author of Digital Democracy, Analogue Politics: How the Internet Era is Transforming Politics in Kenya (Zed Books, 2018) and Travelling While Black: Essays Inspired by a Life on the Move (Hurst Books, 2020). She holds an M.Sc. in African studies and an M.Sc. in forced migration studies, both from the University of Oxford, as well as a J.D. from Harvard Law School.
