Public Knowledge has the pleasure of inviting you to a multifaceted program focused on training and developing the next generation of tech policy experts and public interest advocates who reflect the diversity of voices and experiences in our society.
Please join us for our monthly Career Breakfast Series. This event is designed for students & recent graduates to learn about tech policy and public interest work, careers, and its community. This month you will have the opportunity to have a great conversation with Lateef Mtima.

A graduate of Amherst College and Harvard Law School, Professor Mtima has testified before Congress in support of legislation to promote IP inclusivity, including the Unleashing American Innovators Act, which President Biden signed into law on December 29, 2022. He is the author of numerous publications on IP law, including the co-editor/contributing author of the Cambridge Handbook on Intellectual Property and Social Justice (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2023).
