Predicting Security and the Insecurity of Prediction
The Uncertain Archives research group is delighted to host a seminar with David Murakami Wood, associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The seminar aims to investigate the surfaces of contact between surveillance and (in)security management on the one hand and the insecurity involved in processes of prediction, such as pattern discrimination and image recognition etc. on the other.
