The 8th biannual Surveillance and Society Conference was held in Aarhus 7-9 June 2018. The theme of this conference was Surveillance Beyond Borders and Boundaries. The theme was broad in the sense that we understand borders and boundaries as both literal and metaphoric. It was meant to capture how surveillance operates on and beyond territorial borders as well as the many ways that data flows today challenge boundaries between institutions and disciplines.  The conference welcomed papers and panels from all areas of critical enquiry that sought to examine such complex articulations and impacts of surveillance in contemporary society. Over 3 days participants discussed, developed and demolished the borders and boundaries of surveillance.
