2. The 1st Surveillance & Society Conference! 2nd Call for Papers
CCTV and Social Control.
The politics and practice of videosurveillance: European and Global
perspectives
A two day conference to be held at the Centre For Criminological
Research, University of Sheffield in conjunction with Surveillance &
Society.
January 8th - 9th 2004
Background
Although the UK has clearly the most developed public infrastructure of
surveillance cameras in the world, in the wake of September 11th other
countries are increasingly deploying cameras in a range of settings,
including city centre streets, sporting venues, transport systems,
schools, hospitals, to name but a few.
The aim of this conference is to explore the extent and diversity of
CCTV deployment in different countries and institutional settings and to
consider the social, political and legal issues that arise from the
expansion of surveillance. Although the conference will have a
particular European focus we would especially welcome contributions from
researchers in North and South America, Australia, Africa and Asia. The
conference aims to be truly inter-disciplinary and welcomes
contributions from sociologists, anthropologists, geographers,
criminologists, socio-legal scholars, historians, economists and social
scientists researching video-surveillance.
Special Issue of Surveillance & Society
It is planned that all papers given at theconference will be considered
for publication in a special edition of Surveillance and Society.
However, acceptance of a paper for the conference is not a guarantee of
publication as all submissions will be subject to normal peer review
procedures. The special edition will be jointly edited by Professor
Clive Norris (University of Sheffield), Dr Mike McCahill (University of
Hull) and Dr David Wood (University of Newcastle).
