Surveillance presents challenges to researchers, particularly those engaged with organizations, social movements and targeted communities. Yet community-engaged research is as important as ever. How should researchers and community partners (people, movements, organizations) navigate these challenges? What legal, practical, and theoretical tools are useful? This workshop is broken up into three complementary sessions. Attend them all or just one or two. The first session (4-4:50pm) will cover digital security and policy: what has happened, what may happen, and what the organizations on the front lines are doing to protect academics; during the second session (5-5:50pm) attendees will review real life surveillance cases by academics and social movements and the tactics they used to protect themselves, and finally during the third session (6-6:50pm) attendees will learn hands on tools for protecting themselves, their subjects, and their data. Bring your computer. Dinner will be provided.

How can research be part of the voice and power of marginalized communities? What are examples of this and what principles and practices bring this vision to life? This workshop will use interactive formats and practical examples from the experiences of three leading practitioners. All three have been deeply engaged in developing and applying a Research Justice framework, based on values of self-determination for marginalized communities. The workshop will cover principles and strategies for Research Justice, first-hand accounts of communities using this approach, and ample time for discussion and application of the framework to participants’ own work. Some of the projects that will be discussed were featured in the recent book, Research Justice: Methodologies for Social Change, edited by Andrew Jolivétte. Download the flyer.
