The New Surveillance |
a)
"Windows into the Soul:" A conference |
Many of the new surveillance topics in this section were treated at a conference entitled "Windows into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology," held as part of the Hixon-Riggs Forum on Science, Technology and Society. The conference took place at Harvey Mudd College, in Claremont, CA, on March 27-29, 2008. The conference program and participant biographies can be found at http://www.hmc.edu/newsandevents/hixon08.html. For an introduction to the conference and abstracts, go to http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/witsabstracts.html.
|
The thirty participants are centrally involved in helping to define the emerging field of surveillance studies, described by Peter Monaghan in "Watching the Watchers." The Chronicle of Higher Education, March 17, 2006. |
A number of the conferees served on, or advised, the Committee on Privacy in the Information Age for the National Academy of Sciences and contributed to writing its report, Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a Digital Age. The National Academies Press, 2007.
|
Conferees have also contributed to a March 2007 symposium on the New Surveillance, "Taking A Look at Surveillance and Society." Contemporary Sociology 36:2, 2007. |
