Additional Material from Windows Into the Soul
To keep the price reasonable, the material below was cut from the print edition of Windows Into The Soul. In several cases it was cut entirely (two chapters on surveillance and popular culture, an autobiographical account of five decades of working on civil rights and civil liberties issues.) In other cases chapters were significantly shortened as with those on children, Tom I. Voire, techno-fallacies, and ethics. Deleted material can be found here. All excerpts are from Gary T. Marx, Windows into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology. University of Chicago Press, 2016.

4. The New Surveillance
a) "Windows into the Soul:" A conference
Many of the new surveillance topics in this section were treated at a conference entitled "Windows into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology," held as part of the Hixon-Riggs Forum on Science, Technology and Society. The conference took place at Harvey Mudd College, in Claremont, CA, on March 27-29, 2008. The conference program and participant biographies can be found at http://www.hmc.edu/newsandevents/hixon08.html. For an introduction to the conference and abstracts, go to witsabstracts.html.
The thirty participants are centrally involved in helping to define the emerging field of surveillance studies, described by Peter Monaghan in "Watching the Watchers"

The Chronicle of Higher Education, March 17, 2006.

A number of the conferees served on, or advised, the Committee on Privacy in the Information Age for the National Academy of Sciences and contributed to writing its report, Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a Digital Age

8. Protest and Prejudice; and articles on Race and Ethnic Relations, 1960-70
For a decade—from "Status Insecurity and the Negro Intellectual," a term paper done for a methods class, to "Passing as a Response to Problematic Status Among Negroes As Seem Through Novels" and "Majority Involvement in Minority Movements"—I worked in the area then known as race relations, with an initial interest in prejudice and discrimination as social problems to be understood and changed. Over time that both broadened and became narrower. The topic was located within generic social forms involving conflict. I learned about this through the writing of Georg Simmel as treated in Lewis Coser's book Social Conflict and Tamotsu Shibutani and Kian Kwan's Ethnic Stratification. My sociological training as a generalist encouraged looking across common social forms, rather than becoming a specialist in a given group, time period, place or problem (whether intellectual or social.) A central topic was responses (both overt behavior and less visible cultural influences) on subordination and challenges to it on the part of both dominant and minority groups. As my interests became more focused, I pursued the topic through the lenses of social movements and collective behavior and political sociology as applied to the civil rights movement, with a specific focus on social control. While race relations remained a strong interest, I situated that within broader concerns involving the nature of social order, stratification, and social change.
