Super excited to present some conceptual work in progress at the MigTec Circle this month! I hope many of you can join and engage with the paper. Relevant to the Border Criminologies Tech & Digital Futures group, and to thinking about private tech & surveillance more broadly (I hope!)

I'm so thankful to the Sociology @ Essex 60th Anniversary team - led by Isabel Crowhurst - who put together this great blog on our Dept's history over 60 years as one of Europe's leading Sociology Depts. Thanks Isabel, Tara Mahfoud | تارا محفوض Samuel Singler + others essex.ac.uk/blog/posts/202…

Presenting at the STS-MigTec Circle in a couple of weeks! In my paper, I examine how security companies construct imaginaries of future border controls by conceptualizing them as "surveillance evangelists". I'd love some feedback on this concept, so please come along if you can.

Still time to sign up for this work-in-progress presentation – the draft paper will be ciruclated to participants on Monday. Hope to see many of you next Friday!

SUCCESS! All of our clients who were facing removal to Rwanda have now been released thanks to the tremendous work of our legal team 👏👏👏 We will continue to fight this unjust law every step of the way.
