POWER OF THINGS (webinar)
For this digital conference take an “object-focused” approach to understanding aspects of crime and crime prevention. The goal is to bring discussion of the roles, influences, and power of things into the criminological mainstream.
With this conference, we hope to move our criminological discussion of objects beyond functional analyses, towards considering how the meaningful relationships between people and things shape engagement with criminal activity, response to crime, and the experience of criminal justice.
- Talks will be 20 minutes, with 10 minutes reserves for discussion of each.
- All times are in CEST (Maastricht Time).
