Dr Andrew A. Adams, of the University of Reading will discuss his research in Japan on issues of privacy. he spent nine months last year at Meiji funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering. From the event description:
There is a myth amongst researchers that there is no such thing as ‘Privacy’ in Japan. Dr Adams refutes that and shows that the advent of networked information processing of personal data has brought Japanese attitudes to information privacy to a highly similar position to Western attitudes.
