Surveillance and Citizenship: State-Media-Citizen Relations after the Snowden Leaks
Cardiff University, 18-19 June 2015
Join us for a conference that will bring together international scholars, representatives of digital rights organisations (including the Open Rights Group), technological developers, and surveillance experts to discuss the state of surveillance and the implications of the Snowden revelations. Two years after the leaks began, we will review their media representation, policy developments, impacts on activism and civil society, and technological responses. The conference will include strategy sessions on policy reform, a crypto workshop for secure communication, and a usability and security hackathon.
Speakers include Ben Wizner (ACLU, Snowden's lawyer), Mark Andrejevic (Ponoma College), Kirstie Ball (Open University), Gus Hosein (Privacy International), Annie Machon (former MI5 whistleblower), Tony Bunyan (Statewatch), James Ball (The Guardian), Andrew Clement (University of Toronto), Ian Brown (Oxford University), Seda Guerses (New York University), Karin Wahl-Jorgensen (Cardiff University), Gavin MacFadyen (Centre for Investigative Journalism), Anne Roth (German Parliamentary Inquiry on Mass Surveillance).
