Gough's Review of The Cambridge Handbook of the Right to Freedom of Thought

Shane Gough of Maynooth University has published a review of The Cambridge Handbook of the Right to Freedom of Thought in the journal Surveillance & Society. The Handbook is edited by Patrick O'Callaghan (Project PI) and Bethany Shiner (Project Associate Scholar).

Gough writes that the handbook "is a  timely  and  significant contribution to the emerging body of scholarship on this underexplored right. By assembling a diverse group of scholars to discuss the right in the context of their jurisdiction alongside thematic analyses, the handbook provides both breadth and depth and will serve as an invaluable resource for legal scholars, human rights practitioners, and scholars working at the intersection of law, technology, and surveillance studies. The surveillance  scholar  will  benefit  from  the  handbook’s  extension  of  the  logic  of  surveillance  into  the emerging domain of cognitive processes. Surveillance of the mind is now possible, and this book highlights the need to ensure we have robust tools available to regulate such surveillance."
