Here's the official blurb:
>Digital Research Conversations (#UoBDigRes): 14th March 2018
Data Security ‘Peeping Through the Great Digital Wall’
Computer Centre (Committee Room), Elms Rd, 12-2 pm
>With so much attention being given to data security, should we just carry on as normal or do we become paranoid?
>The second in our series of Digital Research Conversations, we will look at data security from the varied angles of our provocative and engaging speakers, leading to a stimulating conversation.
>Data security both refers to preventing unauthorised access to computers, databases and websites but also to protecting data from corruption. When looking after data, researchers need to consider; Do you have permission to keep it, re-use it or advertise it? What risks are involved as an individual researcher or as an institution if we lose data, or if the data we re-use is not reliable? Whether we have created data, purchased it or downloaded it; the data we keep is the building blocks of our research.
>Jeremy Kidwell, previously a Network security manager and now a lecturer in Theological Ethics, will propose the use of security in the overzealous world.
>Ian Batten is part of the Security and Privacy Group, Computer Science where he currently lectures on ‘where computer security and networks meet’.
>David W. Evans is a clinician and expert in musculoskeletal pain based in Sports Science. Being involved in collecting patient data, David is concerned about the new Data Protection laws (GDPR) starting in May and how it is going to affect researchers.
>We will also be joined by Alberto Guglielmi for the panel session. As Project Officer for GDPR within Legal Services, he will be able to answer questions regarding data protection.

title: "Crypto-currency and anarcho-crypto-capitalism: has technology made Anarchism a feasible political option (at last)?"
host: "Global Ethics Conference: A Post-liberal World?"
publishdate: 2017-03-10

I'll be presenting a paper at the [Conference of the Centre for Global Ethics](https://globalethics2018.weebly.com) - which has the theme this year of "A Post-liberal World?"
My paper title is: "Crypto-currency and anarcho-crypto-capitalism: has technology made Anarchism a feasible political option (at last)?" Here's the abstract for anyone who is curious (slides and notes will be posted asap):
> One major problem for ethicists and political philosophers is the cultivation of "hope" – expanding the horizons of what options seem possible, particularly in the midst of oppressive neo-liberal regimes. Too often liberal democracy is seen as a lesser evil, or greatest but nonetheless quite modest possible political good. Some of this deference to the “modestly effective good” comes in the wake of the many preferred (radical) alternatives which are simply (and justifiably) dismissed as "impossible". Given the massive population of modern states in many instances, a persistent argument against more communitarian or anarchist political arrangements has been that of scale. Communitarians from Aristotle to Macintyre convey an awareness that the notion of radical democracy and the forms of consensus and inclusion which they imply simply do not scale past a certain critical mass of human participation. In this paper, I will explore the possibility which has been mooted by many techno-futurists that newly available digital technologies – particularly the federated blockchain which lies behind the recent innovation of bitcoins – may open up new and more participatory political horizons in the form of automated algorithmic contracts. The paper will include a brief introduction to the technology and a survey of some of the techno-futurist rhetoric which has begun to emerge in mainstream media outlets and then conclude with an assessment of blockchain as a political tool.
