SUMMARY:The Fairbrother Lecture - Behind Electric Eyes: Facial Recognition Surveillance in Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Automatic facial recognition technology is increasingly used by both public and private sector organisations to manage and police public spaces. The operation of facial recognition in public spaces – and our access to the right to privacy – shifts depending on whether it is a public or a private sector organisation that is watching us. But does it make a difference who is watching and why? And what does it mean for our right to privacy? \nFacial recognition surveillance is used to identify and verify people in real time but without any obligation to gain their consent. While public sector surveillance must be justified by the public interest\, the private sector is able to use facial recognition in pursuit of a range of commercial interests. These interests extend beyond criminal acts and could include activities that might result in an individual being banned from private property\, such as smoking\, walking a dog or taking photos. To complicate matters\, we are often unaware of crossing thresholds into spaces where surveillance is privately controlled. Does the introduction of facial recognition provide us with increased protections\, or hold hidden pitfalls? \nJoin socio-legal researcher William Page to be guided through the growing use of this technology\, what it means for human rights\, the relevance of recent political developments surrounding the potential withdrawal of the Human Rights Act 1998\, and the changing nature of contemporary public spaces. This free public lecture will provide an introduction to the issue\, look at recent research and consider important future questions. Do we understand our rights when under the gaze of electronic eyes? \nThe Fairbrother Lecture is a University public lecture named after Jack Fairbrother who in 1929 became one of the first students to be awarded a PhD from the University. The lecture is an annual event at which a Reading doctoral researcher presents their research to a wider audience. \nRegister to attend.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Coercion as an Element of Prohibited Intervention in International Law
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Professor Marko MilanovicInternational Law: Revisiting Coercion as an Element of Prohibited Intervention in International Law. \nWednesday 22 February\, 17:00\, G11\, Henley Business School \nIn his inaugural lecture\, Professor Milanovic will argue that coercion can be understood in two different ways or models. \nFirst\, coercion as extortion\, as a threat to engage or continue engaging in some activity (which itself may be lawful or unlawful) in order to extract some kind of concession from the victim state – in other words\, an act targeting the victim state’s will or decision-making calculus. \nSecond\, coercion can be understood as the actual deprivation of the victim state’s ability to make its sovereign choices\, which may be done even through acts like cyber operations that the victim state may be unaware of. Professor Milanovic will argue that many of the difficulties surrounding the notion of coercion arise as consequence of failing to distinguish between these two different models. \nProfessor Milanovic is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Reading and Director of Global Law at Reading. \nRegister to attend[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Seminar: Religious contexts of women’s vulnerability to HIV in Ghana
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The seminar entitled ‘Religious contexts of women’s vulnerability to HIV in Ghana‘ will be delivered by Dr Yaw Adjei-Amoako on Thursday 6 October from 1-2pm. Join us at the Sorby Room in the Wager Building on Whiteknights Campus. This seminar is open to all University staff and students. \nAbstract: \nHIV continues to exact its toll in sub-Saharan African countries\, including Ghana\, distorting their demographics\, and weakening their economies and institutions. Little is known about the role that religious denominations play in the spread or control of HIV in Ghana. Using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussion data collected in various Christian congregations in rural and urban areas in Ghana\, this paper explores how women’s vulnerability to HIV are mediated by type of Christian denomination – ‘mainstream’ churches or ‘healing’ churches. The results point to differences in women’s exposure to HIV-related information\, knowledge\, attitudes and behaviour to the disadvantage of women who attended healing churches\, particularly in the rural area. The study concludes that interventions aimed at initiating behavioural change and reducing women’s vulnerability to HIV must be comprehensive\, broadly oriented in the communities and take into consideration the many complex personal and contextual factors\, including religious affiliation and participation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
