The Robert A. Gordon Lecture Series | 09
Humber North Campus
Henry Giroux: "Beyond Bailouts: Youth in a Suspect Society"
In this talk, Dr. Giroux will argue that youth today are
under assault insofar as they face a punishing
market-driven society that treats them largely as
commodities. Poor youth of colour, Dr. Giroux will argue,
are particularly susceptible to the emergence of a youth
crime complex that increasingly subjects them to crude
forms of disciplinary control.

North Campus
Room: 7th Semester
Everyone Welcome!

THE SUSPECT SOCIETY, Part 1 of 2 CD
The Surveillance Society. The New Authoritarianism. The Age of Paranoid Politics. These terms, and many others, have been used to describe how the political ground has been shifting under us, particularly since 9/11. Terrorism and national security have become obsessive anxieties. Fear and suspicion have become the order of the day. A world-wide initiative has developed that combines a growing machinery of surveillance, assaults on civil liberties and increasing censorship. We are living in what IDEAS producer Mary O’Connell calls “the suspect society.”
Part 2 airs March 20.
