Surveillance: Protector and perpetrator
In Issue 41, Shuddhashar FreeVoice delves into the pervasive power of surveillance. We explore its many forms—digital, personal, state, and institutional—and its effects on people worldwide. Writers explore historical examples of surveillance, ethical considerations, and societal implications. Our special webinar on surveillance brings together two scholars who examine myriad forms of surveillance from their respective areas of expertise. Join Helidth Ravenholm and Jan Fernback in a conversation with our editor, Lisa I. Knight.

Purity and Honor: Belonging, Identity, and the Violence of Belonging
Shuddhashar FreeVoice’s Issue 40 takes blood as the starting point to explore various issues related to identity and power – the power in blood and of blood to be a symbol of something else. It examines the multiple ways blood – as a substance and symbol – defines us and our abilities to act freely in the world. It explores how blood is ascribed characteristics that identify us and the socio-cultural and personal impacts of these identifications. How and when does blood stigmatize?
Join Yasmin Saikia, Afrah Nasser and Nadeem Zaman in a discussion on blood, identity, and belonging.
