LJC 6600x: Surveillance, Privacy & the Law (click here)
Surveillance, Privacy, and the Law explores the political, social, and legal dynamics of surveillance. We do this by studying surveillance associated with technologies and locations such as cell phones, social networking sites, electioneering, shopping, and the banking industry. The rapid expansion of surveillance technologies and capacities has not been without controversy, so we will also be studying the array of political, legal, and extra-legal areas of conflict over surveillance policy. The course mobilizes an interdisciplinary tool kit that includes materials from such areas as Law, Sociology, Political Science, Technology Studies, and a new field called Surveillance Studies. Finally, as explained below, the subject matter of this course is an opportunity to explore broad questions raised about how we best see, describe, and understand new and unprecedented phenomena. (4 credits) – Taught by Professor John Gilliom
ANTH 5530: Anthropology of Violence & Peace (click here)
