JOHN GILLIOM received his Ph. D. in 1990 at the University of Washington in Seattle. Gilliom's teaching includes The Politics of Law, Constitutional Law, Introduction to American Politics, and the department's junior writing course. He received the University Professor Award in 1994, the Outstanding Teaching Award in 1996, and the Graselli Teaching Award in 1997 and 2006. His recent book, "Overseers of the Poor: Surveillance, Resistance, and the Limits of Privacy" (University of Chicago Press, 2001), explores how the words and actions of those who live under intensive surveillance challenge our prevailing ways of thinking about surveillance and privacy. Gilliom is also the author of "Surveillance, Privacy and the Law: Employee Drug Testing and the Politics of Social Control" (Michigan 1994) as well as articles on law, legal theory, and the politics of surveillance. When he is not busy with teaching or research, Gilliom enjoys (not necessarily in order of preference) sleeping, parenting, gardening, tractoring, cooking, guitaring, and yodeling.
