>OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 
>Workshop on Surveillance & Inequality
>March 16-18, 2007; Arizona State University; Tempe, Arizona, USA
>
>
>This workshop will bring together a 
>multi-disciplinary and international array of 
>scholars studying the social implications of 
>contemporary surveillance with a particular 
>interest in questions of the public sphere, 
>equality, civil liberties, privacy, and 
>fairness.  Currently,  questions involving the 
>collection of personal data command the 
>attention of policymakers and the general 
>public, both within the U.S. and beyond. 
>Surveillance has become a key mechanism employed 
>in both public and private sectors to contend 
>with the uncertainty raised by threats of 
>terrorism and other criminal activities. 
>Surveillance is also increasingly important with 
>respect to issues of commerce, work, and 
>interpersonal relations.  With changes in 
>surveillance technologies and practices, public 
>concerns have multiplied about potential 
>encroachments upon privacy, civil liberties, and 
>public spaces.  These tensions have not gone 
>unnoticed by social scientists and humanities 
>scholars studying surveillance, but thus far – 
>especially in the U.S. – there have been few 
>opportunities to bring researchers together to 
>discuss the many social issues and inequalities 
>surrounding new surveillance systems.
>
>We will hold a three-day workshop in March 2007, 
>centered around issues of social justice with 
>regard to surveillance.  The objectives are
>
>to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on contemporary surveillance issues,
>to map core areas of surveillance research to 
>locate collaborative opportunities and existing 
>research gaps, and
>to facilitate graduate student training.
>
>Given the diversity of scholarly interest in and 
>approaches to surveillance, the workshop will be 
>structured around discussion themes that 
>individuals from any disciplinary background can 
>participate in.  The central organizing question 
>will be “What research projects are needed to 
>better understand and mitigate inequalities 
>within a surveillance society?”
>
>In order to examine differential experiences of 
>surveillance, the workshop will be organized 
>around several thematic areas, including
>
>privacy/trust
>citizenship/governance
>mobility/identity
>power/control
>fear/danger
>equality/fairness
>The findings of the workshops will be 
>disseminated by means of a special issue of the 
>journal Surveillance & Society and possibly as 
>an edited book.
>
>Travel stipends, food, and lodging will be 
>provided for all participants.  Participants 
>will be chosen to provide a balanced 
>representation of both junior and senior 
>scholars, disciplinary training, and 
>international perspectives.  Graduate students 
>and participants from outside the U.S. are 
>especially encouraged to apply.
>
>Potential participants should submit:
>
>A 500-750 word abstract that discusses how your 
>current and/or future research fits with the 
>proposed workshop theme of surveillance and 
>inequality, and
>A two-page curriculum vitae or resume, listing 
>your relevant publications and experience.
>
>Deadline: December 15, 2006
>Submit materials to: workshop at publicsurveillance.com
