Anjuli R.K. Shere

Anjuli (@AnjuliRKShere) is an analyst, writer, and researcher, currently in the final year of her doctorate in Cyber Security at the University of Oxford. Anjuli’s research, which she is continuing as a research fellow at the Shorenstein Center, investigates emerging threats to journalists from new internet-connected technologies. She is particularly interested in exploring these issues in democracies facing strains from outside influences and new legislation: Taiwan, Australia, the UK, and the US. Additionally, since beginning her fellowship under the supervision of Prof. Matt Baum, Anjuli has been part of the COVID States Project team, producing reports on the effects of regulation and messaging during the pandemic to help governments and individuals make informed decisions and allocate resources more effectively. Anjuli has also written about technological threats for journalistic outlets, including the Shorenstein Center’s own Journalist’s Resource, The Conversation, and the New Statesman, inspired by her work as an intelligence analyst on Channel 4’s Hunted and Celebrity Hunted for six series (2017-2020), as a “Digital Sherlock” with the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Lab, and as a research analyst at the Association for International Broadcasting. Her research combines cyber security, law, computer science, international relations and security, and journalism training with policy-oriented practical risk assessment and management solutions, developed through mixed methods.
