Episode Description

How is the history of slavery tied to modern-day surveillance systems? Is surveillance always a negative term? How can a gendered lens change the way we perceive privacy rights and policies?

In episode 9 of the Imagine Otherwise podcast, host Cathy Hannabach chats with feminist scholar Simone Browne about how Black communities have resisted and interfered with the surveillance practices that target them, the multiple lenses through which to consider privacy, and the joys of collaborating with academics, artists, and activists.

I named this podcast "Imagine That" for 2 reasons, first its an ode to an old bookstore I loved when I was a kid (I'm one of those girls who loves to buy books but then either never finishes them or opens them) and secondly my head is always in the clouds. This podcast talks about anything from my fears, Tupac conspiracy theories, challenges, messy work life, friends, sports, and anything else that comes to mind. Enjoy!
