Full
notice:
Plan now to
attend the Surveillance Summer Seminar, 10-17 June
2007.
The Surveillance
Summer Seminar at Queen's University (Kingston,
Ontario,
Canada) provides
an intensive, multi-disciplinary learning experience that addresses
key issues of surveillance studies, and in ways that would enhance the
participants' own research projects as well as providing a unique
national and international networking opportunity.
SELECTED
FACULTY:
David Lyon,
Professor and Queen's Research Chair, Department of Sociology, and
Director of The Surveillance Project, Queen's University,
Canada
Kevin Haggerty,
Associate Professor of Criminology, University of Alberta,
Canada
Kirstie Ball,
Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies, The Open University,
UK
Colin Bennett,
Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, University of
Victoria, Canada
THE
PROGRAMME:
The core of the
seminar is group work, each facilitated by a member of seminar
faculty. Groups will grapple with key issues in surveillance studies,
including issues such as "The researcher as surveillance agent,"
"Gaining entry into surveillance sites," "Making international
comparisons," "Connecting social science with policy and legal
fields" and so on. Participants are encouraged to comment, in their
statement of interest, on what areas are of particular interest. The
rest of the programme is devoted to theoretical, methodological and
professional issues, and to open interaction with established scholars
in the field. The idea is to "go behind" conference and book
performances to discover how and why surveillance researchers do what
they do. There will also be discussion of surveillance films, novels,
art, music and drama and a look at counter-surveillance movements and
activities. There will be no assessed tasks and no credit for
enrolling in the seminar, although a letter confirming your completion
of the seminar is available upon request.
APPLICATION
PROCESS: The Summer Seminar is limited to 30 participants who are PhD
candidates, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty. Applicants must
submit a 250 word statement of interest and pay a $250 CAD deposit,
which will be refunded should the application not be accepted. THE
APPLICATION DEADLINE is 15 FEBRUARY 2007. We will review applications
and respond to applicants by 1 MARCH 2007.
