Surveillance

Surveillance Studies has been Lyon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s major research area for the past 25 years. He brings a sociological perspective to bear on the issues raised by personal data processing in a database-dependent world. His surveillance interests include border and airport controls, social media, organizational routines, video camera surveillance, citizen registration and identification systems and social media. His concerns include, prominently, the social sorting capacities of contemporary surveillance, along with an exploration of their ethics and politics.

From the mid-1980s, Lyon's broad concerns prompted a critical examination of the much-hyped 카지노 게임 컬렉션�microelectronics revolution카지노 게임 컬렉션� that gave way to the so-called 카지노 게임 컬렉션�information society.카지노 게임 컬렉션� In the 1990s, Lyon focused his analyses on the social origins, incidence and consequences of processing personal data, arguing that surveillance has become a major dimension of modernity in its own right. This aspect of his research has expanded considerably, especially since 9/11, and involves extensive collaboration with colleagues and students. Surveillance is a globalized phenomenon, and Lyon's work focuses increasingly on the global south and on encouraging the development of Surveillance Studies networks around the world.

From 2008-2010 David Lyon was a Canada Council Killam Research Fellow, investigating the current rise of national ID card systems in a cross-national comparative perspective. The work complements some of his other studies of surveillance and contributes to both empirical and theoretical understanding of contemporary smart, biometrics-based ID systems.

Currently, Lyon is working towards a book on surveillance critique, Surveillance and the Eye of God.

Secularization

While he is best known for his work in Surveillance Studies, David Lyon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s research and writing span several other areas as well. Starting in Historical Sociology in the 1970s, his early work was on secularization processes 카지노 게임 컬렉션� and the critique of some key theories -- in the modern world. Today, he tries to keep abreast of debates over the "post-secular" with an emphasis on the work of Charles Taylor. Following this, his main research directions explore other forms of social transformation that are both characteristic and constitutive of modernity.

As Director of the former , Lyon worked with a multidisciplinary and international team on several related initiatives from primary research to theoretical development as well as associated media, policy and advocacy activities. The most recent team project was on 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Big Data Surveillance카지노 게임 컬렉션� (카지노 게임 컬렉션�BDS카지노 게임 컬렉션� 2015-2020) and was funded by the SSHRC Partnership Grant program. It has streams on security, marketing and governance. Among other things, the project produced a major report, and an edited book, Big Data Surveillance and Security Intelligence: The Canadian Case, edited by David Lyon and David Murakami Wood (2022).

In 2005, Lyon was awarded a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Research Chair in Surveillance Studies. In 2007 Lyon received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Sociological Association Communication and Information Technology Section and in 2008 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 2012 he received an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Canadian Sociological Association, in 2015 an Insight-Impact Award from the SSHRC and in 2016 an from the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Switzerland. In 2017, Lyon received a Queen's 카지노게임사이트 Award for Excellence in Graduate Supervision.
