Richard Netemeyer, Ralph A. Beeton Professor of Free Enterprise at the University of Virginia and Kristen Walker, Professor of Marketing at California State University - Northridge, will deliver the 2025 Kellstadt Lecture.

Children and adolescents are more vulnerable online today, with increases in mental health, addiction, eating disorders, bullying, deep fakes, and suicidal events. Parents can play an important role in their children’s online privacy knowledge, safety decisions and behaviors. But the reality is that most children and parents are passive about online privacy protection efforts and do not fully comprehend how personal information is collected, stored, or exchanged. So, Professors Netemeyer and Walker, two knowledgeable scholars on children’s online privacy, will discuss what parental factors might lead to more positive or negative child behaviors online.
