The grant is to be spent over seven years. In a project being called "The New Transparency: Surveillance and Social Sorting," the team will be investigating how and why average citizens are under surveillance by public and private organizations as a result of computer technologies. They will be also looking at how computer-related surveillance affects Canadian citizens' lives.
