Comparative Research

The Documentation of Individual Identity: Historical and Comparative Perspectives since 1500. An international network of academics sponsored by The Leverhulme Trust. Many of the participants in this project were involved in the two international workshops hosted by Eddie Higgs and Jane Caplan, and we owe a real intellectual debt to that project.

David Lyon's work at Queens has provided a home for the comparative study of surveillance for many years. The new Centre for Surveillance Studies institutionalises the international scholarship that has long been hosted in Kingston.
