The 2023 Oregon Surveillance Studies Workshop provides scholars across disciplines the opportunity to workshop works-in-progress papers that focus on issues of surveillance and/in society, with a particular emphasis on scholarship that brings media, communication, or information studies perspectives to these issues. The conference will also include plenary sessions and opportunities to build connections within the surveillance studies community. The conference’s broad theme is focused on the interconnections between “Media, Information, and Surveillance.” By framing the conference theme around issues of media, information, and surveillance, we hope to foster connections and dialogue about how approaching and understanding emerging surveillance practices and technologies from media studies, communication theory, information science, and critical data studies perspectives can provide new insights or open new directions for surveillance studies research.
