The 2011 SSSS colour brochure is attached. Please feel free to forward this email widely. "International and cross-cultural diversity of the participants is one of the strengths of the seminar. Because surveillance studies are related to social justice, equality, and power, it is crucial to have the perspectives from the world of non-English speaking people." --2007 SSSS participant "Quality of faculty and attendees was excellent; social events well planned and spaced; location and setting excellent; well-planned and organized throughout." --2007 SSSS participant CORE FACULTY: David Lyon, FRSC, Professor and Queen's Research Chair, Department of Sociology, and Director of the Surveillance Studies Centre, Queen's University, Canada Valerie Steeves, Associate Professor of Criminology, University of Ottawa, Canada David Murakami Wood, Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Surveillance Studies and Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Queen's University 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 be no assessed tasks and no credit for enrolling in the seminar, although a letter confirming your completion of the seminar will be provided.
