Biography
Mira Moldawer (Ph.D., summa cum laude, Harry Radzyner Law School, Reichman University, Israel) integrates cultural studies and law over four decades. Holding a B.F.A. in theater and directing (cum laude) from Tel Aviv University, Israel, and an instructors course diploma from the Drama Centre in London, Mira is a senior acting instructor at Beit Zvi, School of the Performing Arts, Israel, and founder of Mira Moldawer Law Firm. Mira's research focuses on celebrity culture interfacing with intellectual property law and how both design each other.
With eloquence and grace, Mira Moldawer offers her fresh, unique take on the evolution of the legal doctrine of publicity rights, examining its implications and applications across a range of intellectual property law, spanning traditional copyright and trademark law to cutting-edge applications of AI. Her exploration takes readers on a historic, multi-cultural tour that spans ancient Greece to modern America. This interdisciplinary work will fascinate readers interested in a wide range of topics such as creativity theory, law, cultural norms, and our current digital dilemmas.
