IT HAS A COVER! Pleased to announce that _The Campus Crisis Toolkit: Strategies and Solidarity For the Rest of Us_ is coming from @sunypress.bsky.social in Feb.

Really proud to see that the special dossier "Perspectives on Global Surveillance" which I edited for JUMP CUT is now online! It features a timely selection of texts from a wonderful range of scholars. Link here for the introduction: www.ejumpcut.org/currentissue...

Really great read about the contradictions of state archives of surveillance.
