Dear London people, I'll be LSE on Wednesday for the Mannheim Centre for Criminology Seminar Series.
Come & say hi!
I'll be challenging some mainstream assumptions about criminal justice & highlighting how colonial ways of knowing and being still influence justice today.

Still time to sign up. 😀
The focus will be on coloniality and how it influences judicial decision-making.
- the overt crime fighting attitudes of judges
- the silent violence of upholding a violent system
