Outstanding Contribution Award Lecture: The Culture of Surveillance
Friday, June 7, 2013 from 10:30am – 12:00pm
Elliott Building, E-168
Is surveillance merely associated with the nation-state? What of the surveillance of consumers or the way that the processing of personal information is now central to organizational practice? Indeed, in a world of street cameras, cell phones and social media, we all find ways of complying, negotiating and even participating with surveillance.
