Fred Stutzman
About: I am a graduate student and teaching fellow at the University of North Carolina's School of Information Science. Additionally, I am the co-founder of ClaimID.com, the consumer identity management project. My research explores digital identity, online social networks, and the use of social technologies in relational development and maintenance. I am also interested in political uses of social technologies; to that extent, I consult with political candidates and write about the topic at techPresident.com.
