Biographical Data

 

Terry Langendoen is a Program Director for the Linguistics Program in the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences at the National Science Foundation, and is currently on half-time "detail" to the Office of Cyberinfrastructure. He joined NSF in May 2006, after retiring from the University of Arizona, where he was a member of the Linguistics faculty. Prior to that, he taught at the City University of New York (Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center), and before that, at The Ohio State University. He received his PhD in Linguistics from MIT in 1964. His original interest in the area of privacy and confidentiality stemmed from his work on modal logic, particularly how to reframe Hohfeld's classical characterization of the fundamental legal concepts of rights, duties, privileges, immunities, liabilities, etc.
