Cori Doctorow

Life

Born in Toronto, Canada, Doctorow describes his parents as " techno-utopians" and " sort of quasi-doctrinaire Trotskyist school teachers." [4] [5] His father was born in a refugee camp in Azerbaijan, [6] and Doctorow became involved with nuclear disarmament activism and as a Greenpeace campaigner as a child. He received his high school diploma from the SEED School, an anarchistic " free school" in Toronto, and attended four universities without attaining a degree. [7][not specific enough to verify] [8] He later served on the board of directors for the Grindstone Island Co-operative in Big Rideau Lake in Ontario.

In 1992, Doctorow went on a volunteer visit to Costa Rica with Youth Challenge International (YCI), which he found " profoundly good and profoundly enriching".[9] In June 1999, he co-initiated the free software P2P company Opencola with John Henson and Grad Conn. The company was sold to the Open Text Corporation of Waterloo, Ontario during the summer of 2003.[3]

Doctorow later relocated to London and worked as European Affairs Coordinator for the Electronic Frontier Foundation for four years, [3] helping to establish the Open Rights Group, before quitting to pursue writing full-time during January 2006. Upon his departure, Doctorow was named a Fellow of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[3] He was named the 2006-2007 Canadian Fulbright Chair for Public Diplomacy at the USC Center on Public Diplomacy, sponsored jointly by the Royal Fulbright Commission, [10] the Integrated Media Systems Center, and the USC Center on Public Diplomacy. The professorship included a one year writing and teaching residency at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.[3][11] He then returned to London, but remained a frequent public speaker on copyright issues.

In 2009, Doctorow became the first Independent Studies Scholar in Virtual Residence at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He was formerly a student in the program during 1993-94, but quit without completing a thesis. Doctorow is also a Visiting Senior Lecturer at the Open University in the United Kingdom.[12]

Doctorow married Alice Taylor on October 26, 2008, [13] and together they have one daughter named Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow, who was born during 2008.[14] Cory became a British citizen by naturalisation on 12 August 2011.
