Attend our event next week 👉️ buff.ly/wuwwcf4

Looking forward to speaking in London next week on why liberal democracies create militarized police readied for authoritarian rule (spoiler alert: the answer is not about whether you have liberal or right wing leaders but rather is about histories of colonialism).
💡 How do imperial tactics return home to reshape policing, citizenship and democracy?
Join us for 'From citizen to subject', a free public event at LSE with @jgo34, @aaronsreeves and @mahvishahmad.
