This session aims to comparatively discuss the relationship between racial and ethnic formations and State institutions of social control – notably the police. How was the racialization of other groups informed by policing institutions as they carried out the imperatives of settlerism and theft of labor?

The coordinators are excpecting to get contributions with varying conceptual frameworks, methods, approaches, subjects, and objects that relate to how policing institutions have been central actors in broader categorization, racialization, and racialized surveillance processes.
