Professor Mourad Debbabi of the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE) will discuss the risks associated with the electronic trail we leave behind during everyday computing.

Suen of the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering will present the science behind surveillance technologies such as nanoparticles and facial, retina, fingerprint, and handwriting recognition.

Moderator: Lynn Hughes (Department of Studio Arts)
Professor Yasmin Jiwani and Professor Tim Schwab of the Department of Communication Studies will examine the tension between privacy rights and security threats in the context of race, gender and citizenship, as well as the role of media and documentary film in ‘making the private public’. Professor Shannon McSheffrey of the Department of History will provide historical and cultural context on issues of privacy and address the question of how privacy is related to the transformation of society.
