SurPriSe (Surveillance, Privacy & Security) A Faculty Learning Community At Oakland University

Twenty three faculty (representing twelve different departments) from the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Business Administration, Computer Science and Engineering, Health Sciences and the Kresge Library have formed a faculty learning community to foster interdisciplinary approaches to understanding surveillance, security and privacy through curricular development and research (see attached list). Our community is called SurPriSe, an acronym derived from the words surveillance, privacy and security. Our goal is to develop and use a truly interdisciplinary perspective to examine these three important and interrelated topics which does not assume a positive or negative position per se, but promotes open dialogue and debate.
