Have you had experiences during Canadian border crossings at Pearson International Airport in the last several years that you think people should know about?
Have you felt particularly aware of different ways in which you are watched when crossing the border?
Have you thought about surveillance in the context of border crossings and what it means to you?
If you would like to share your thoughts on these and related questions you are encouraged to participate in a research project focusing on encounters with surveillance during Canadian border crossing experiences at Pearson Airport in Toronto being conducted through Queen’s University.
The study involves interview and questionnaire components and takes approximately 45-60 minutes to complete.
All information collected will remain confidential and only be reported anonymously.
Contributions to this project will be used to better understand differences in the experience of crossing the border and how the process of crossing the border might be improved through different policies and practices.
The principal investigator for this project is Alana Saulnier, a PhD student working under the supervision of Dr. David Lyon of the Sociology Department in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Queen’s University.
If participating in this research appeals to you please contact Alana Saulnier at 12as32@queensu.ca.
