Welcome to Blink

Since 2002, Surveillance & Society, the premiere journal of surveillance studies, has been publishing peer-reviewed academic work of the highest quality. Today, we’re announcing something new: Blink.

Blink is our version of a blog. While Surveillance & Society remains committed to supporting research on privacy and surveillance, we also want to connect our articles to the broader conversations taking place on these issues. Blink allows us to participate in these discussions by offering timelier dispatches than the labor intensive (but necessary) process of peer-review allows for.

To that end, Blink will publish short dispatches from authors about their contributions to the journal, along with thematic round-ups, interviews, commentary, and other minutiae that don’t quite fit within the confines of Surveillance & Society itself. It’s our hope that Blink will offer new perspectives on surveillance and privacy for scholars and citizens alike.
