SUMMARY:Does Privacy Exist in the Age of Big Data?
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Professor Ishii will look at changing technology over the past few decades\, and examine how rapid development has affected privacy law and personal data protection in Japan. Such a discussion would not be complete without mention of the Privacy by Design framework\, an approach to systems engineering that considers privacy from the outset\, rather than tacked on as an afterthought. Originating with the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario in 1995\, the principles are used broadly around the world.\nDiscussions on protecting personal data in Japanese statutes have been made in reference to technologies such as tracking techniques for behavioral advertising\, accumulating massive personal data in cloud computing services\, collecting personal preferences via smart phone applications\, profiling using Big Data\, data collected through sensor functions of the Internet of Things\, and the like. \n\nKaori Ishii is an Associate Professor at the University of Tsukuba\, Faculty of Library\, Information and Media Science and is currently a Visiting Professor in the Department of Law & Business at Ryerson University. Prior to working in academia\, she served as an attorney at law\, and also worked for the legal department of a large manufacturing company in Japan. She has contributed much in her role as a member of many expert committees in the Cabinet Secretariat\, Ministries\, and local governments in Japan\, and has also served as a commentator on TV and in printed media.

SUMMARY:Bikers\, Widows\, and Bodhisattvas – Female Priests in Japanese Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces three female Buddhist priests from different schools of Buddhism in different areas of Japan: A Shingon priest from Mt. Koya\, a Pure Land priest from Tokyo\, and a Nichiren priest from Sapporo. In response to the general trend in Buddhist studies to focus on exemplars of the tradition\, I am concerned with uncovering stories of “ordinary” priests. It is my contention that these lives are\, in fact\, both extraordinary and significant in what they can teach us about how temple Buddhism is lived. When we look at female priests not simply for insights into how their experiences differ from men’s\, but rather take their stories on their own merits\, we discover a Buddhist world that is both familiar and unknown\, one with new landmarks\, coastlines\, and boundaries. \nRegistration is now closed. We thank everyone for their interest. \n\n \nDr. Mark Rowe is an associate professor in the department of Religious Studies at McMaster University\, where he teaches a variety of courses in East Asian Religions\, with a focus in Buddhism. His current research focuses on collecting biographies of what he refers to as “non-eminent” priests. Foregoing investigation of the oft studied famous exemplars of the tradition\, he seeks to offer insight into the lives of “ordinary” priests. Dr. Rowe was the recipient of a Japan Foundation fellowship in the summer of 2016\, where he traveled to Japan to conduct further research. In this talk he presents some of the findings uncovered during this most recent research trip to Japan.
