The Surveillance Studies Summer Seminar provides an intensive,
multi-disciplinary learning experience that addresses key issues of
surveillance studies in ways that enhance the participants' own research
projects, as well as providing a unique national and international networking
opportunity. 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:
Valerie Steeves, Associate Professor of Criminology,
David
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.
FEES AND SUBSIDIES:
The fee for the 2011 SSSS is $700 CAD. Applicants should pursue funding
opportunities before submitting their application.
The deadline to
apply for both subsidies is 11 FEBRUARY 2011.
