Online masterclass: “When Your Face Becomes Data: Power, Risk, and Justice in the Age of Algorithmic Surveillance”

Sarah Perret, Head of the Master’s in Digital Politics and Governance and Associate Professor of political science at ESPOL, is offering a masterclass on the theme “When Your Face Becomes Data: Power, Risk, and Justice in the Age of Algorithmic Surveillance”.

Abstract: When your face becomes data, who decides you’re a threat—and who profits from that decision. This masterclass explores how surveillance technologies such as facial recognition transform relations between technology, security, and justice, in order to evaluate what a just digital future might require.
