Surveillance in the Majority World at the Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum 2025
Surveillance in the Majority Network attended #DRIF25 to initiate the African Surveillance Studies Network (join here!). We met a lot of inspiring activists, researchers, and practitioners and facilitated an experience exchange in a panel on researching surveillance in Africa.
About us
Surveillance in the Majority World Research Network aims to expand the scope of surveillance studies to include non-Northern / Western discourses and practices. It is a place for exchange, collaboration, and activism against the undemocratic use of surveillance technologies. Surveillance in the Majority World Research Network facilitates global exchange across groups and institutions active in surveillance-related issues to collaborate, build support networks, disseminate the outcomes of their projects, and make resources and knowledge publicly accessible. These documented ideas, reports, and research outcomes contribute to knowledge production and policymaking but also aim to create a safe and supporting space for researchers and activists who work in politically and socially precarious environments.
