Resources
Part of the Surveillance Studies Network mandate is to share accessible resources to academics, lay audiences, and its members. Below is an archive of resources that can be used for research, teaching, or for learning about surveillance more broadly.
This section includes a list of surveillance feature films compiled by Dietmar Kammerer, and preliminary list of art based projects that address topics of surveillance in creative ways, as well as a series of video essays, interviews, and media projects by specialists in the field.
This extensive reading list includes popular books written in an accessible way for general audiences; novels; reports; academic texts and books. This list is regularly expanding. Please check back often.

A Guide To Surveillance Terminology
The guide compiles surveillance-related terms along with their respective definitions. Its main purpose is to consolidate all this information into a single place, making it easy for people to find and access what they need without any hassle. It’s a user-friendly and handy glossary that covers a broad spectrum of surveillance concepts. Provided by Dr. Lucy Thompson.
We’ve compiled a list of blogs and Twitter accounts by surveillance scholars and organizations that cover a wide array of themes, as well as a Zotero group of members of the SSN to share more resources.
Featured Projects
Transparent Lives
Transparent Lives demonstrates dramatically just how visible we have all become to myriad organizations and what this means—for better or for worse—for how we conduct our everyday lives. The irony is that as we have become more transparent to organizations, they have become less transparent to us.
Snowden Digital Surveillance Archive
This archive is a collection of all documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that have subsequently been published by news media.
Mapping Surveillance Studies
This map is an attempt to generate an overview of who works where on what in the realm of surveillance, control and related issues. By its nature such a map can only be incomplete.
Should you have a research project or know of one (esp. Ph.D. projects,) or would like to be listed as a researcher or or suggest someone, send a email to contact[@]surveillancestudies.net.
We will edit this map for the time being, however the criteria to be in the map are rather broad and inclusive. This map has been realized in cooperation with the German blog and research network surveillance-studies.org.
