(In)Security, Surveillance and the State
Is contemporary society characterised by uncertainty, anxiety and ‘insecurity’?
Or is the idea of ‘insecurity’ a way for society’s most powerful agencies, including the State, to promote an agenda of surveillance and fear that pervades and delimits so many aspects of our lives today?
Edge Hill University’s free public lecture series, (In)Security, Surveillance and the State will see leading international commentators, academics and experts exploring the politics of ‘insecurity’ by examining some of today’s key events and, as a result, some of the most critical, controversial and divisive issues that confront us today.
The series is organised by Edge Hill University’s Department of Social Sciences and supported by the Power, Conflict and Justice Research Group and the Faculty of Arts & Sciences.
