If you have/have not read some Supreme Court cases about privacy that are really cool. Here are a few cases that I found interesting from class:
1. Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27 (2001) - whether thermal imaging to look into the defendant's violated the homeowner's reasonable expectation of privacyy;
2. Florida v. Riley, 488 U.S. 445 (1989) - whether aerial surveillance of someone's backyard is a search under the Fourth Amendment.
3. Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965) - solidified privacy as a constitutional right. Court ruled that the conduct had to fall under privacy's "penumbra."
Laughing so hard at you saying everyone cites Foucault but few read him because as a sociology graduate? Yep. Absolutely. He was I believe at one point (and may still be) the most cited and taught theorist in that discipline. But even in more advanced courses my profs often gave us focused sections of Foucault when not just exposing us to him through broad introductions or other explanations of his concepts secondhand through those citations, if only because even they stated that Foucault is just one of those thinkers whose works are hard to parse and who demands a lot of time and rereading and who they were still coming to full grips with.
Which is also why most of his works are sitting on my bookshelf with some sticky notes in sections I specifically was pointed to for assignments and wanted to get a handle on but are still taunting me largely unread.

Thank you sincerely. I’ve been trying to complement our readings with related texts and didn’t really know where to start. This is super helpful

This is so great -- thank you! Been completely privacy-lens-focused with our reading and glad to have more directions to head.
Thanks for this reading list! Hopefully we all learn plenty from it.
