A public conference on "Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in
an Age of High Technology" will be held at Harvey Mudd College, Claremont,
California on March 27-29, 2008. Information on the conference can be found
at: http://www.hmc.edu/newsandevents/hixon08.html.

The thirty participants are centrally involved in helping to define the
emerging field of surveillance studies (described by Peter Monaghan in The
Chronicle of Higher Education's story "Watching the Watchers.") A number of
the conferees served on, or advised, the Committee on Privacy in the
Information Age for the National Academy of Sciences and contributed to
writing its recent report, Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a
Digital Age, and also contributed to the recent Contemporary Sociology
(March 2007) symposium, "Taking A Look at Surveillance and Society")
