Hi everybody - please come join us either in-person or virtually. 15 March 2023 @ the Milieux Institute, Concordia University, Montreal 12 noon - 13h30 (lunch time seminar) The scoop: In recent years, calls for “surveillance reform” have been voiced by activist and academics alike. What, however, are the surveillance capabilities of the Canadian state? How can we speak of reform and regulation if we do not know what it is we want to change? In this talk, Professor Evan Light (Glendon College, York University) discusses his efforts to document the surveillance capabilities of the Canadian state from municipal to national. Through filing hundreds of access-to-information requests and extensive legal research, the Deobfuscating State Surveillance in Canada project aims to build the foundation for changing the ways we are policed, building up activist, academic and journalistic research tools along the way. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/lunch-time-seminar-with-evan-light-tickets-52721... -- -- Evan Light, PhD Associate Professor - Professeur agrégé Communications program - Programme de communications Glendon College, York University - Collège universitaire Glendon, Université York 2275 Bayview Ave. Toronto ON, Canada M4N 3M6 elight@glendon.yorku.ca +1 416.736.2100 ext: 88596
