Summary
My current role is Professor of the Critique of Political Economy in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, having joined Brunel in 1994 in what was then a Department of Government. I am a critical theorist who focuses on questions of state and capital, especially as they pertain to police, security and war. I also have an interest in the political imagination, especially concerning bodies, monstrosity, subjectivity and death.
My most recent book is The Politics of Immunity (Verso, 2022).
I am currently working on three projects: The first is a book called Pacification, for publication in 2024 (with Verso). The second is a collectively-authored book called Security Abolition. And the third is a book called The Most Beautiful Suicide.
More detail of my research is given in the links above called 'Research' and 'Selected Publications'. The 'Selected Publications' section lists only my books. Most of my published work, including my books, is available for free on shadow libraries. Much of it is also available either here:
