The Surveillance Studies Centre is proud to announce our upcoming multi-disciplinary conference ‘A Neurotech Future: Ethical, Legal and Policy Perspectives’, co-organized with the Center for Neuroscience Studies and Faculty of Law at Queen’s University.
This virtual, inter-disciplinary conference takes place on April 22nd and 23rd, 2021, and brings together academics from fields such as neuroscience, surveillance studies, philosophy, law, and policy studies. Over a series of panels and workshops, we explore the possibilities and limitations of the contemporary neurotechnological moment, and discuss the concerns that emerge at the intersection of these disciplines.
The second panel on Day 1, titled ‘Neurotechnology, Surveillance and Data Privacy’, chaired by Dr. David Lyon, will feature an exciting set of panelists: Dr. David Murakami Wood, Dr. Catherine Stinson, Dr. Jason Gallian, and Dr. Brenda McPhail. On Day 2, we will also have a dedicated SSC workshop that will reflect more broadly on the cross-disciplinary dimensions of neurotechnology today, and open the conversation for potential research trajectories along the intersections of neurotechnology and surveillance studies at Queen’s.
