The awarding of a $2.5 million grant to the Queen’s-led Surveillance Project from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council was announced by the Council’s president Dr. Chad Gaffield at a research showcase in the Agnes Etherington Art Centre on February 26, 2008. The grant, for a Major Collaborative Research Initiative, will fund the internationally-renowned research group’s next project “The New Transparency: Surveillance and Social Sorting.” The project will study how and why public and private organizations are expanding surveillance of citizens and the social consequences that result.
Associate Dean Arthur Cockfield was a co-applicant of the multi-disciplinary research grant bid along with sociology professors David Lyon (Surveillance Project Director), Elia Zureik and Laureen Snider.
