>>  receiving proposals that ask the hard questions about privacy and
>>  freedom in emerging surveillance societies, and challenging those
>>  assumptions.  For example, how much surveillance is too much?  When
>>  does surveillance cease making us more secure and begin to change the
>>  fabric of society?
>>
>>  The theme of the 15th CFP is "Panopticon 2005." Over time, and
>>  particularly recently, surveillance of ordinary citizens has increased
>>  to dramatic levels.  Not only are governments watching more aspects of
>>  their citizens' lives, but those in the private sector are increasing
>>  surveillance of people as well. Often lost in the race to "increase
>>  intelligence" are discussions about different approaches to address
>>  problems like the threat of terrorism that are equally or more
>>  effective, but do not involve extensive and constant surveillance.
>>
>>  In addition to topics directly related to the Panopticon 2005 theme,
>>  other areas of interest include:
>>
>>  1. domestic and international travel issues
>>
>>  2. communications surveillance
>>
>>  3. children and young adults growing up in a surveillance society
>>
>>  4. social networking
>>
>>  5. the flourishing of free speech (i.e. blogging) in spite of increased
>>  watchfulness
>>
>>  6. RFIDs and other emerging technologies
>>
>>  7. Intellectual property issues
>>
>>  We are seeking proposals for tutorials, plenary sessions, workshops,
>>  and birds-of-a-feather sessions. We are also seeking suggestions for
>>  speakers and other relevant topics not listed above. Sessions should
>>  present a wide range of thinking on a topic by including speakers from
>>  different viewpoints. We particularly welcome proposals for non-
>>  traditional presentations - those that utilize drama, "mock trials,"
>>  interactivity, the performing arts, and audience participation.
