This event is geared towards workers and citizens interested in finding out more about the ways in which they are ‘surveilled’ and ‘surveilling’ in workplaces and society at large. AI expertise is not required! Insightful robust discussions across sectors may also give participants a way to spark similar informed debate in their own contexts as activism, advocacy, or professional learning. A resource package will be available post-event to facilitate this engagement. NB this is a hybrid event with both ace-to-face and online attendance options.
