Call for papers to researchers with specific interest in Latin America, and authors/participants of the events “Surveillance in Latin America” that took place in Curitiba (Brazil) and Toluca (Mexico), in 2009 and 2010, respectively:
We would like to invite you to attend the call for papers for a special issue of the journal Surveillance & Society (http://www.surveillance-and-society.org) that will have the same theme as the events in Curitiba (http://www2.pucpr.br/ssscla) and Toluca (http://bit.ly/c3Knxy), that is, “SURVEILLANCE IN LATIN AMERICA”.
This call will be open to everyone interested in surveillance in Latin America. However, papers submitted and presented in both events can be integrally re-submitted to S&S in bilingual versions (Portuguese+English OR Spanish+English). We suggest that they be revised and updated.
The research by Mike McCahill and Rachel Finn on surveillance in schools, published in the lastested edition of Surveillance and Society, was reported in the the UKs Daily Telegraph newspaper on July 7th 2010.
