Conference Welcome

Ian Kerr, Canada Research Chair in Ethics, Law and Technology, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa and Principal Investigator of the On the Identity Trail project, welcomed everyone to the conference and explained that the Concealed I reflects both the "I" of identity and the eye of surveillance, both of which are key themes in the panel discussions.

Dean Bruce Feldthusen gave opening remarks and congratulated Ian Kerr for putting together the conference. He thanked SSHRC for its funding and emphasized the importance of the granting councils to universities, underlining that teaching and research go hand in hand. Dean Feldthusen announced that there would be a special issue of the University of Ottawa Law and Technology Journal dedicated to the Concealed I conference. Finally, he introduced Pamela Wiggin, Vice-President of Knowledge Products and Mobilization at SSHRC.

Pamela Wiggin, expressed enthusiasm for the On the Identity Trail project and noted that SSHRC's

Initiative on the New Economy (INE) knowledge mobilization exercise appears to be working: synergies have developed between research projects, as evidenced by the fact that two of the conference speakers are researchers from other INE projects. Finally, Wiggin updated the audience on SSHRC's plans for transformation from granting council to knowledge council.
