While police violence in the US against people of color -- particularly African Americans -- has made the news in Europe, very few Americans know about the issue of policing and race in Europe. In this discussion, our panelists offer academic and practitioner perspectives on the situation of different ethnic and racial minorities across Europe when they encounter the police. They will examine topics such as racial profiling, anti-discrimination law and redress by equalities bodies, far-right activity in state security agencies, social movements in response to police violence, and the border as a site for police surveillance and control of minorities at both the national and EU level.
Panelists:
Eddie Bruce-Jones, Deputy Dean, Birkbeck College of Law in London;
Terri Givens, CEO and Founder, Center for Higher Education Leadership; Tamas Kadar, Deputy Director (Head of Legal and Policy), EQUINET - European Network of Equality Bodies
