The Globalization of Personal Data: A mid-term report to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRCC)

Abstract

This report details the work-in-progress of the Globalization of Personal Data project, funded by the SSHRC INE1 program and based at Queen’s University. The project investigates some of the many ways that personal data flow across borders, with special reference to increased security concerns after 9/11, and with a view to highlighting and explaining the social, political and economic consequences of those flows.
