Life in the Fish Bowl: kids attitudes about online surveillance



Mac-Corry Hall, Room D411 (Sociology Lounge)

12:30 - 2:00 pm

Findings from qualitative interviews with young people between the ages of 11 and 17 and their parents suggest that young people feel that they are under constant surveillance online by parents, teachers and corporations, and that many of their ordinary social interactions are being reconstructed as dangerous and risky.

Everyone welcome!
