Assignments 2 and 3

Assignment 2: Mind Map

At this point in the course you should have a high level view of what topic you may wish to write a paper on (e.g., surveillance, privacy in the workplace, etc)


  1. Create a mind map using a method of your choice (e.g., hand drawn, Microsoft Visio, MindMeister, etc). 
  2. Put the mind map into PDF format. (MindMeister and other tools should support export to PDF).
  3. Email it to us.
We will not judge your mind map based on its substantive content. (For instance, we will not check to see if you really understand employee privacy). Rather, this is an opportunity to play around with a way of mapping out concepts. We want to see a good effort at experimenting. It will pay off.

Assignment 3: Reference Management

Make sure you can log in to the general York University library catalogue.

  1. Choose a reference manager. I recommend Mendeley. You can use refworks, endnote (etc).
  2. Search for the papers below in York's library catalogue.
  3. Add the references for these papers into your reference manager.
  4. Create a Word or OpenOffice document with the title "Reference Manager Exercise", as well as your name.
  5. In four bullet points, cite each paper in McGill Guide format. Most reference managers will support citations in different formats.
Papers:

  • Volokh, Freedom of speech and information privacy: The troubling implications of a right to stop people from speaking about you.
  • Kukathas, Cultural privacy
  • Dourish, Collective Information Practice: Exploring Privacy and Security as Social and Cultural Phenomena
  • Solove, A Taxonomy of Privacy
