With Tom Pettinger, Lecturer, University of Bradford Peace Studies and International Development.

All welcome

The talk explores the state of institutions and law built by Western powers during their formal colonial rule. It discusses how the foundations of this 'order' implicate the present - including via counterterrorism in UK public institutions - and how it shapes the weapons able to be built and sold in Yorkshire today. The talk also investigates public contestations with police and arms companies, in the region.

Tom is a lecturer at the University of Bradford, who works on questions of security and terrorism.
