Privacy Pedagogies Symposium:
Catalyzing Critical Consciousness About Mobile Media
This symposium brings together researchers advancing scholarship on the contemporary nature of mobile-mediated digital communication, highlighting the impact of commercial profiling on people’s identities and social relationships.
We will focus on issues related to:
- persuasive design and the political economy of mobile games and other apps,
- the commercialization of peoples’ creative expressions, pedagogies designed to raise awareness of the manipulative capacities of profiling technologies,
- and strategies for contesting the extractive practices of surveillance capitalism.
This symposium is free and open to the public. This is an in-person event. Please RSVP, due to limited seating.
