Outside, Looking In: Alternative Legacies and Futures for Surveillance Studies

Abstract

In this dialogue, gender and women’s studies professors Toby Beauchamp (UIUC) and Ronak K. Kapadia (UIC) reflect on their early encounters with surveillance studies and the field’s shifting relationship to transnational feminist and queer of color scholarship. By exploring these alternative genealogies for surveillance scholarship, they also consider new directions in the field that engage the environmental humanities, queer and trans studies, and disability studies.
