Surveillance and Citizenship
State-Media-Citizen Relations After the Snowden Leaks

Conference and Workshop

18-19 June 2015
Cardiff University, UK

Speakers include Ben Wizner (ACLU, Edward Snowden’s lawyer), Caspar Bowden
(former Chief Privacy Adviser for Microsoft), James Ball (The Guardian),
Mark Andrejevic (Ponoma College, US), Kirstie Ball (Open University, UK),
Seda Gürses (New York University, US), Tony Bunyan (Statewatch). The

Investigative Journalism.

Submission deadline: 15 February 2015

Please submit a 300-500 word abstract to DCSSproject at cardiff.ac.uk. We
invite submissions of academic paper proposals as well as proposals for
workshops, hackathons and project presentations. The conference will
combine academic analysis and practical workshops.

Two years after the Snowden revelations started, the conference
"Surveillance and Citizenship" will review their impacts and consequences
for state policy, technological development, internet uses and the media.
It will address the following questions:

• What is the policy environment for surveillance and the work of
intelligence agencies? Which policy reform proposals have emerged?
• Which technical platforms have been particularly vulnerable; what tools
exist for secure communication; and what standards are required for privacy
protection?
• What is the level of public reaction? How do people perceive digital
surveillance?
• What are the implications of surveillance for journalism, activism and
social movements?
• Have the media reported accurately on the leaks? Which challenges have
emerged for journalists?
• What is the nature of citizenship in the 'Snowden Era'?
