The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy will sponsor a roundtable discussion exploring the use of drone technology at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, March 17 in the Miley Hall executive dining room.

Drone technology is increasing in sophistication and application at a rapid pace. Drones can now deliver your purchases and take aerial photographs of your favorite landmarks. They can also listen to your conversations, observe you from afar and even kill you.

As the regulation of drone technology takes on increasing importance, this discussion led by Dr. Sean O’Callaghan, assistant professor of religious and theological studies, will look at some of the key personal and security issues.

Roundtable discussions are open to Salve Regina students, faculty and staff, and lunch is provided. As space is limited, those interested in attending should RSVP to pellcenter@salve.edu.
