DESCRIPTION:This presentation will bring together three research strands th
 at Dr. Joseph Turow has pursued alone and with colleagues: (1) national sur
 vey findings about what Americans know and think about commercial surveilla
 nce\; (2) exploration into the institutional dynamics of social power regar
 ding media and marketing\, and (3) concern with direction of media studies\
 , especially as it relates to the intersection of issues relating to market
 ing and society in the digital era. He will argue that encouraging American
 s’ resignation regarding surveillance is a pervasive and purposeful corpora
 te activity that will corrode political and cultural democracy. With the ai
 m of helping to blunt that activity\, Dr. Turow will lay out the beginnings
  of a sociology of resignation regarding surveillance that describes its in
 dustrial dynamics. And he will describe how research in this area is best c
 arried out with a new understanding of the meaning and nature of “media res
 earch.”\n\n \n\nDr. Joseph Turow is the Robert Lewis Shayon Professor of Co
 mmunication at the Annenberg School for Communication and the Associate Dea
 n for Graduate Studies. Turow is an elected Fellow of the International Com
 munication Association and was presented with a Distinguished Scholar Award
  by the National Communication Association. In 2010\, the New York Times ca
 lled him "the ranking wise man on some thorny new-media and marketing topic
 s."\n\nHe has authored eleven books\, edited five\, and written more than 1
 50 articles on mass media industries. His most recent books are The Aisles 
 Have Eyes: How Retailers Track Your Shopping\, Strip Your Privacy\, and Def
 ine Your Power (Yale\, 2017) and Media Today: Mass Communication in a Conve
 rging World (Routledge\, Fall 2016\; Serbian edition in two volumes\, 2015)
 .\n\nTurow’s continuing national surveys of the American public on issues r
 elating to marketing\, new media\, and society have received a great deal o
 f attention in the popular press\, as well as in the research community. He
  has been interviewed widely about his research\, including by NPR's Fresh 
 Air with Terry Gross\, the Atlantic\, the BBC\, CBS News\, and elsewhere. H
 e has also written about media and advertising for the popular press\, incl
 uding The Atlantic\, American Demographics magazine\, The Washington Post\,
  The Boston Globe\, and The Los Angeles Times.
