Jeffrey Omari

Jeffrey Omari is an Assistant Professor in Communication Studies at Gonzaga University. His interdisciplinary research integrates law, communication, and anthropology to examine internet governance, digital inclusion, and civil rights, particularly in marginalized communities in Brazil.

He holds a J.D. and a Ph.D., indicating dual expertise in legal studies and his doctoral discipline.

Omari's research interests focus on the intersection of technology and society, with specific attention to:

• Internet governance models in informal settlements
• Digital access and democracy in Rio de Janeiro
• Civil rights in the Anthropocene
• Platform politics (e.g., Facebook's role in internet perception)
• Alternative technological governance visions in Brazil

His recent publications (2018-2024) reveal a consistent ethnographic approach, moving from case studies in Rio to broader theoretical frameworks about uncertainty and informality. This work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 9, 10, and 16.
