Facial recognition technology (FRT) is a powerful tool for law enforcement, but it comes with many risks.
@ot_fssh researchers @andreaslane2 and @oconnorphd are working with @Venture_13 to develop ethical and legal guidelines for FRT use in policing. news.ontariotechu.ca/archive…
Great to see this paper published!
📢 New open-access publication with @oconnorphd & @AndreaSlane2! Discussions of the potential for genuine public engagement in police decision-making surrounding FRT. Link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Holding a book with your name on it for the very first time is quite the surreal feeling!
Very proud & honoured to be part of this work with @DrLauraHuey and @JennSchulenberg where we looked at the various ways in which people with mental illness come into contact with police.

A consequence of @ontariotech_u saying supervising graduate students ≠ teaching? @fssh grad directors predict faculty may not be able to supervise if it’s not part of teaching duties & grad programs could collapse @drstevenmurphy @lorilivingsto17 @OT_gradstudies #ONstrikeU

Two years of pandemic stress. Being #overworked & undersupported. That’s not unique to OTU faculty.
But @ontariotech_u’s offer will worsen working conditions for SEVERAL years...long after the pandemic ends. That’s not a #FairDeal for us or our students #ONstrikeU #NotAboutPay

I can't (can) believe the university declined to comment. I guess they also declined binding arbitration when it could have avoided a strike altogether too though, so I should have expected they'd have nothing to say now.
Tonight’s @GlobalDurham story on the ongoing @ontariotech_u faculty strike includes interviews with @UOITFA professors @TimothyMacneill, @DrVivianS and #KimberlyNugent. #ONstrikeU #FairDeal
