About Me
My Bio
Marjory Blumenthal joined Georgetown University in August 2003 as an Associate Provost responsible for Academic Affairs. She has an eclectic set of responsibilities ranging from campus-wide academic planning to oversight of selected academic units at the university.
Between July 1987 and August 2003, she was the Executive Director of the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the National Research Council-a 20-member Board of leaders from industry and academia-managing it and its many expert project committees and staff. She designed, developed, directed, and oversaw collaborative study projects, workshops, and symposia on technical, strategic, and policy issues in computing and telecommunications. These activities addressed trends in the relevant science and technology, their uses, and economic and social impacts, providing independent and authoritative analysis and/or a neutral meeting ground for senior people in government, industry, and academia.
Before joining CSTB, Marjory was Manager, Competitive Analysis and Planning for GE Information Services. There she directed an analytical team supporting business development, product marketing and field sales and developed business alliances for domestic and international network services. Previously she was a Project Director at the former U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment, evaluating computer and communications technology trends and their social and economic impacts. There, among other things, she produced an internationally acclaimed study of computers in manufacturing and their implications for industries and employment.
Marjory is the principal author and/or substantive editor of numerous reports and articles. The majority of her work has been interdisciplinary. Marjory is a member of the Santa Fe Institute Science Board, the Advisory Board of the Pew Internet & American Life Project and the Center for Embedded Network Sensing, the Board of Directors of the Center for Internet Security, and the ACM, AEA, and IEEE. In 1998 Marjory was a Visiting Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Computer Science. At MIT she developed and taught a course on public policy for computer science graduate students and pursued personal research interests. Marjory did her undergraduate work at Brown University and her graduate work (as an NSF Graduate Fellow) at Harvard University.
