Nadine Kozak serves as Associate Professor at the School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she examines how individuals and communities navigate information regulations across governmental levels. Her work bridges historical analysis with contemporary policy challenges in digital governance.
Her academic foundation includes:
- PhD in Information Studies from University of California, San Diego
- MA in Communication from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
- BA (Honors) in History from University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada
Dr. Kozak's research critically investigates intellectual freedom in community contexts like Little Free Libraries, online activism for internet freedom (including SOPA/PIPA protests), and transnational misinformation dynamics. She employs historical methodologies to analyze policy evolution, with particular focus on how local actors shape information access and governance. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates legal, sociological, and historical perspectives to address tensions between regulatory frameworks and grassroots information practices.
Recent publications (2015-2022) reveal consistent engagement with community-driven information systems, regulatory challenges in digital spaces, and global misinformation ecosystems. Her scholarship demonstrates how historical precedents inform current debates on internet governance, while highlighting community agency in navigating censorship and access barriers across diverse settings from rural North America to conflict zones.
