Duke professor stresses the importance of safeguarding brain data; New book spotlights the experiences of HBCU alumni

Closer Look with Rose Scott

For Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” we revisit Rose’s conversations with Duke University professor of law and philosophy Nita Farahany and NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday host Ayesha Rascoe. First, Farahany discusses her book, “The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.” The book explores neurotechnology and how its continuous evolution could potentially threaten your rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination if companies have access to your brain data.

Then, Rascoe discusses her book, “HBCU Made: A Celebration of the Black College Experience.” The book is a collection of essays about historically Black colleges and universities.
