About ChristopherParsons

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Victoria. My research interests focus on how privacy (particularly informational privacy, expressive privacy and accessibility privacy) is affected by digitally mediated surveillance, and the normative implications that such surveillance has in (and on) contemporary Western political systems. I’m currently attending to a particular set of technologies that facilitate digitally mediated surveillance, including Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), behavioral advertising, and mobile device security. I try to think though how these technologies influence citizens in their decision to openly express themselves or engage in self-censoring behavior on a regular basis.
