1/ A week out from #ColorOfSurveillance and my co-organizer @gabriellexgem have a few more transformational speakers to tell you about.
@gabriellexgem 2/ Surveillance of workers used to be one-off and outside-in.
Now it is constant... and workers are expected to do it to themselves.
@iajunwa will speak about her foundational article (with @katecrawford and @Lawgeek), Limitless Worker Surveillance: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
@gabriellexgem @iajunwa @katecrawford @Lawgeek 3/ Charity has long been laced with moral undertones. Here, the progenitors of modern social workers were wealthy women known as "friendly visitors" who "sought to help poor individuals through moral persuasion and personal example." (Michael Reisch @UMD) ssw.umich.edu/about/history/…
@gabriellexgem @iajunwa @katecrawford @Lawgeek @UMD 4/ The Palmer raids were supposedly a necessary response to violent radicals. They marked the dark start of J. Edgar Hoover's career - and birthed the @ACLU.
Who did they actually sweep up? Poor workers.
@chrisfinan will talk about the raids' legacy for modern civil liberties.
@gabriellexgem @iajunwa @katecrawford @Lawgeek @UMD @ACLU @chrisfinan 5/ We'll hear from the extraordinary poet (and labor organizer) Rodrigo Toscano. I could share one of his more serious poems (e.g. Security Cams, from his recent collection @CpPress), but instead I'll leave you with this poem about vahnahnahs. poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine…
@gabriellexgem @iajunwa @katecrawford @Lawgeek @UMD @ACLU @chrisfinan @CpPress 6/ #ColorOfSurveillance is next Thursday! RSVP here: eventbrite.com/e/the-color-of…
