Seattle mayoral candidate Charles Royer, August 1977
No full textCharles "Charley" Royer (1939-2024) was mayor of Seattle from 1978 to 1990, and is the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. Born in Medford, Oregon, Royer worked in TV news in Oregon in the 1960s and became known for his political coverage. He moved to Seattle in 1970 to work for KING-TV, then ran for mayor in 1977 and defeated Paul Schell in the run-off election by about 25,000 votes. Early on, Royer had an often fractious relationship with the City Council (several of whom had run against him for mayor) and some of his hiring choices were, by Royer's own admission, "clinkers." Royer successes as mayor include low-income housing initiatives, the Metro bus tunnel, and a recycling program that became a national model. Royer easily won reelection in 1981 and 1985 but decided not to seek a fourth term . After leaving City Hall, he led Harvard’s Institute of Politics for five years before returning to Seattle in 1995. He worked on community health projects and at UW's School of Public Affairs and continued speaking out on issues facing Seattle.

Fit for the Future: A Pragmatic Account of Human Autonomy to Understand Emerging Issues in The Internet of Everything
No full textThis contribution aims to illuminate the tacit but necessary concept of human autonomy that guides regulation of emerging technology within the domain of the Internet of Everything (IoE). Human autonomy can be considered a widely recognised fundamental principle of moral and legal systems, or, in other words, a value worth protecting. However, the opacity brought by the use of the term “autonomy” both in colloquial use and in the legal literature hinders the application of (legal) safeguarding measures that ought to protect human autonomy. I show that this is true in particular when considering the impact of agents of the IoE on humans.
First, this contribution explores the philosophical and ethical grounding of human autonomy and compares contemporary accounts that attempt to define autonomy. I will then show how current legal regimes presuppose some type of autonomy when aiming to protect individuals with the following three protective rights: (a) right to privacy, (b) right to freedom of thought and belief, and (c) right to freedom of opinion and information. I will then draw from both the tacit assumptions of international legal regimes and the philosophical considerations of autonomy to propose a pragmatic concept of autonomy. In the final part of the presentation, I will test this newly derived concept against situations that have emerged due to the novel vectors of influence available to agents of the IoE. By that this contribution will show the value of the proposed concept over narrower concepts and how this can serve as a basis for more decisive, consistent and granular legal control over such emerging technology
