b'One year ago this week, Ian Kerr, a friend, colleague, teacher, and prescient scholar in the world of law, technology, and ethics, passed away. Ian\\u2019s loss sparked an outpouring of stories of a truly exceptional person whose friendship, mentorship, and \\u201cen-Kerr-agement\\u201d, left a remarkable legacy with so many citing his impact as a defining moment in their lives and careers. Given the impact Ian had on the privacy world, the IAPP launched an annual lecture in his honour at the IAPP Canada Privacy Symposium. While this year\\u2019s symposium was cancelled, the Kerr Memorial Lecture went ahead with an online streamed lecture.\\nI was honoured to deliver the inaugural lecture, titled Privacy and Zambonis in the Age of COVID-19. This week\\u2019s podcast features that lecture, which I think is most notable for exploring how Ian\\u2019s scholarship remains so fresh and relevant today with much to teach about the challenges of privacy in our current world.\\nThe podcast can be downloaded here and is embedded below.
