Details

Surveillance practices have been increasing in the private and public sphere over the last 30 years.  Recently the ethics of these practices have been increasingly questioned, with US & European companies selling equipment to oppressive regimes in the Middle East and US & European police using sophisticated techniques in monitoring legitimate protests. At the same time other aspects of surveillance are broadly accepted, such as CCTV in the UK and identity cards in Germany.  However there has been little normative reflection on surveillance at the academic level.  This conference will seek to address this lack and suggest ways forward.
