Looking forward to speaking in London next week on why liberal democracies create militarized police readied for authoritarian rule (spoiler alert: the answer is not about whether you have liberal or right wing leaders but rather is about histories of colonialism).

Last month, Professor Kamari Clarke gave a public lecture on how digital technology has democratised the collection of visual evidence. Writing for @lseimpactblog.bsky.social, she shows how this translates into evidentiary standards shaping what and whose expertise is recognised.

More evidence doesn’t mean more justice – The limits of visual technologies in human rights cases - LSE Impact

Digital technologies have democratised the collection of visual evidence, but its use in courts is circumscribed. Could we draw on a wider range of expertise?
