David R. Carroll

Associate Professor of Media Design, Parsons School of Design, The New School.

I design and teach interactive media at Parsons, where I have taught since 1999 and directed the MFA Design and Technology program. I requested my data from Cambridge Analytica under UK law, complained to the Information Commissioner, filed a claim in the High Court, and testified to lawmakers in the UK, the European Union, Canada, and New York. I serve on the board of Check My Ads Institute.
