‘Your U-Well-Being Journal is due today’: on some possible intersections between surveillance and student wellbeing in the future university
本文通过参与式科幻小说方法，探讨英国、北美等地高校中数字监控能力与学生福祉的融合，分析短篇小说如何揭示监控技术可能侵入学生生活，并引发对权力关系的思考。
This paper uses Participatory Speculative Fiction to explore the convergence of two important dynamics that are currently at play within the Higher Education sectors in the UK, North America and elsewhere: digital surveillance capacities and student wellbeing. We use short stories that were contributed and published anonymously through the Telling Data Stories website to show how their authors spontaneously connected surveillance capacities and potentials with contemporary concerns about student wellbeing. In the fictions they created, our contributors imagine how current and proximal future technologies might be enrolled in increasingly intrusive and interventionist neuro-psycho-bio-surveillance employed at all stages of the student journey. The stories problematise the relationship between visibility and wellbeing, expose complex assemblages of people, technologies and discourses and suggest possible outcomes ranging from embrace and perhaps enculturation to subversion and even inversion of power. We suggest that these possible futures are important signals of the need for wise decisions in the present.
