Surveillance Studies Network (SSN) is a registered charitable company dedicated to the study of surveillance in all its forms, and the free distribution of scholarly information.
We are registered in the UK, but welcome members and supporters from all over the world. We own and run the journal Surveillance and Society and also act as a clearing house for social science and policy research and consultancy about surveillance.

The Surveillance Studies Network supports its members through a variety of services:

The international, interdisciplinary, open access, peer-reviewed journal of Surveillance Studies.

Blink

Surveillance & Society blog on surveillance studies. 

SSN Events

SSN hosts an international conference in Europe every two years, and two workshops in other regions of the world in the years in between
