that will consist of a keynote speaker and presentation of accepted 
papers in a round table fashion. The workshop should be seen as a 
springboard for ideas and early-stage manuscripts. The format is meant 
to encourage reflective discussions between researchers interested in 
surveillance in the digital society. The workshop will target junior and 
established academics that are attending ECIS, and we particularly 
encourage early career and PhD students to submit. Submissions will be 
screened but not reviewed, and we will apply a generous policy in this 
“first round” and accept all papers that fall within the above stated 
theme/scope of the workshop. Description of Workshop Surveillance is not 
a new phenomenon, digitisation has however enabled surveillance of a 
magnitude we have not seen before. On social media people share the 
intimacies of their lives, leading to a huge repository of information. 
Additionally the volume of digital surveillance devices, such as 
stationary surveillance systems (CCTV), mobile devices such as 
smartphones, body-worn cameras, cameras in cars, drones and a variety of 
sensors. The development in algorithms and artificial intelligence, 
advances also the analytical step in surveillance, for example by face 
and motion recognition. The workshop invites short papers that reflect 
upon surveillance in the digital society by looking at how these 
practices are constructed, organised, experienced and regulated. A 
non-exhaustive list of different angles may include (but are not limited 
to): Self-surveillance - The attention one pays to one’s behaviour 
whilst, actuality or virtuality, being observed. Organizational 
surveillance - Digitized work-places enabling the monitoring of 
employees, partners, and customers posing ethical dilemmas Societal 
surveillance - The disproportionate, unlimited citizen online 
monitoring, enabled by new anti-terrorism laws, criticized for turning 
citizens into suspects. Sousveillance - The act of surveilling others as 
they surveil you Resistance towards surveillance - The use of strategies 
to avoid or disrupt the surveillance mechanisms Facilitating 
individuals, their institutions and contact emails: Main contact:
