Sophia Goodfriend

Sophia Goodfriend’s ethnographic research examines the ethics and impact of emerging surveillance technologies in Israel. Goodfriend’s research takes place among high-tech workers, policy-makers, and entrepreneurs driving the development and implementation of surveillance in the region as well digital rights advocates and communities contesting the effects of high-tech surveillance, particularly biometric monitoring. By moving between diverse communities, Goodfriend highlights the promises and uncertainties of new surveillance regimes.
