However, many scholars tend to absent slavery’s character and significance in their contextualizations. Whether this absence is interpreted as an oversight or denial, it truncates our understanding of the origins and purposes of education in society. Infact, advancements in technology have inspired more questions than answers in this area. Therefore, this conceptual survey is an attempt to reset the stage for future dialogue and research by revealing how slavery indexes pedagogy and deepens our understanding of its character and surveillance capitalism. Using Michel Foucault’s theory of surveillance or panopticism, this study examines the emergence of pedagogy in Ancient Greece and how its rise anticipates fugitive pedagogy in black education. In both contexts, surveillance operates as a form of extraction, a capitalist imperative, and a technology of power that is not too distant from the thinking that underwrites chattel slavery and behaviorism. As a result, the concept surveillance pedagogy is introduced to account for the ways in which digital surveillance and its extraction protocols rearticulate the management ethos of a plantation past for the digital future.  \nKeywords: Black education, digitalization, fugitive pedagogy, surveillance capitalism  \nIntroduction  \nSlavery is seldom recognized as a starting point in our conversations about pedagogy. However, scholars across several disciplines have suggested that it may be integral to our understanding of the future of teaching and learning, particularly as digital surveillance becomes increasingly ubiquitous in our classrooms and the workplace (Bessette 2023; Crooks 2022; Feenberg 2017; Gilliard 2017; Higdon and Butler 2025; Hyldgaard 2006; Kissinger et al. 2021; Myers 2002; Warren 2005; Wilder 2013) . In fact, several thinkers have employed discourses associated with slavery and its afterlife in their studies on how advanced technology inspires divisions in learning that instrumentalize knowledge, reproduce social inequality, and command our behavior for the ends of others (Benjamin 2019; Chisnall 2020; Dennis 2024b; Farber 1970, 1998; Gillard 2017) . However, locating studies in the academic literature that consider the ways that slavery indexes pedagogy is challenging for educators interested in this line of inquiry. Therefore, my goal in this conceptual survey is to try to rectify this circumstance by examining how Michel Foucault’s theory of panop-  \nticism can help seasoned and novice educators understand the complex relationship between slavery and pedagogy and how they are entwined by surveillance as a form of extraction, a capitalist imperative, and a technology or tool of power.  \nDiscipline and Punish is considered the key text in which Foucault (1995) makes many of his most significant and controversial statements on the carceral nature of schools as sites of surveillance. He argues,“A relation of surveillance, defined and regulated, is inscribed at the heart of the practice of teaching, not as an additional or adjacent part, but as a mechanism that is inherent to it and which increases its efficiency”(1995, 176) . He associates education and pedagogy with the continuous application of surveillance and other disciplinary technologies that accustom us to the operation of power through knowledge and discourse. Foucault (1981) asks,“What, after all, is an education system, other than a ritualisation of speech, a qualification and a fixing of the roles for speaking subjects, the constitution of a doctrinal group, however diffuse, a distribution and an appropriation of discourse with its powers and knowledges?”(64) .
