Jessica Zhanna Malekos Smith

Zhanna graduated from Wellesley, where she was a Fellow at Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs. She has a doctoral degree in law from the University of California at Davis and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Belfer Center’s Cyber Security Project at the Harvard Kennedy School.

“The Great Cyberspace Solarium Dialogue” is a satirical essay mostly in the form of a dialogue. It features proponents of various viewpoints concerning cyber security and subjects their arguments to sometimes devastating critiques. It also contains many external links that provide readers with valuable information on the subject.

The essay will provoke strong reactions among readers who feel their political or professional ox has been gored. It is currently guaranteed a place in the Order of the Hot Potato in the Third Quarterly Review, which is in itself a sign of success.
