The annual Computer Privacy Data Protection conference in Brussels attracts scholars, policy-makers, NGOs and companies from all over the world. PRIVACY had been invited to organize a full-day workshop on Privacy Past and Present for this year’s conference. The workshop brought together scholars from PRIVACY and scholars from STAY HOME: The Home during the Corona Crisis – and after, the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture, ETH Zurich, and the H2020-project Migration-Related Risks Caused by Misconceptions of Opportunities and Requirement. Each session sparked a conversation regarding ways in which past and present concerns and situations related to privacy throw light on each other.
