Police-Use of Surveillance Technology held on October 4 - 5, 2022. The

SEMINAR SERIES
First up we invite Anders Albrechtslund (Aarhus University - Sorbonne
University) on February 15 who will be discussing The Interplay between human
agency and digital
surveillance.
This talk will explore the role of human agency in data-intensive surveillance
and contribute to the understanding of present and future digitally saturated
societies. Emphasis on human agency in surveillance operations has the
potential to uncover the way technologies are contingent on the participation
and socio-cultural contexts of users, and how degrees of agency can be
restricted or achieved in the use, design, development and regulation of these
technologies.

The workshop discussed two topics:
1) Discussing processes and considerations of surveillant activities:
Harmonizing crime control, performance, privacy, and social costs
2) Discussing accountability arrangements in multi-actor security provision:
Exploring the triangular relationship between police departments, oversight
bodies, and corporate producers of surveillance technologies
