cfp: Roundtable on Drones
Research Round Table on Drones
Call for papers closes: Friday April 1.
The use of drones has increased exponentially. They are now a standard feature of war and are increasingly being deployed to assist with border protection and conservation work. More controversially, drones are cheap and easy to acquire. They are therefore also appealing to activists who want to obtain information about controversial activities taking place on private property.
