Western University’s popular complimentary lecture series, Classes Without Quizzes, returns for a new season on October 30, as Jacquie Burkell, Assistant Dean, Research in the Faculty of Information & Media Studies, presents “Every Move You Make: Living with Online Surveillance”.
Increasingly, Canadians live their lives online: shopping, banking, socializing, learning, and entertaining themselves. Each person’s online activities create a highly detailed “digital shadow” capturing their activities, interests, intentions and desires.
Professor Burkell will examine this online behavioural tracking and strategies you can use to monitor and limit your own “digital shadow.”
