Abstract
This presentation adopts a genealogical approach, tracing the emergence of police ‘platformization’ in the United States: the movement of the technical infrastructures of police agencies to cloud-based information architectures that infuse police organizations and are imagined as suturing disparate data streams together into seamless flows. The seminar will reflect upon the importance of pursuing a ‘history of the present’ of police digitalization, and by implication societal digitalization more broadly.
Series This talk is part of the Centre of Governance & Human Rights (CGHR) Seminar Series series.
