Vanessa E. Thompson
Abolish! For a world without borders and state violence.
Kingston, CA
Who is safe in Europe? Not everyone living in nationally organised societies is equally protected by the police and the state. Sociologist Vanessa E. Thompson examines political struggles that oppose police violence and border regimes. She designs a society that also makes protection and security tangible for vulnerable people, for example refugees and those affected by racism. Thompson researches critical racism studies, anti-colonial movements and theories of justice and teaches Black Studies and Social Justice at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. (fa)
