>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
