Privacy at the Margins

View Event Recording

Privacy is sometimes considered a second-tier right, and less significant than equality or liberty. However, privacy is of material importance, particularly to marginalized communities disproportionately subjected to surveillance by corporate and private actors.

This conference will unpack how surveillance regimes have engendered disproportionate harm to underrepresented groups based on racial, sexual, immigration, religious, and gender biases. Speakers will underscore the role of privacy as a form of resistance not only to surveillance, but to cultural conformity and homogeneity, and will examine the many ways in which privacy is not simply an affectation of the privileged, but a critical form of anti-subordination.
