A New Development Technology? South Asian Biometrics and the Promise of State Security and Economic Opportunity
This paper examines the intra- and inter-state usage of biometrics as a "new" technology of development and neoliberal security in South Asia. We view developmental use of biometrics as a tool for integrating the vast majority of poor and marginalized people as visible and calculable economic subjects. We examine the ways in which biometrics translates people into data for the purposes of state, security, and economic legibility. In this paper, w…
The Crisis of the “Disadvantaged Child”
In the early 1960s, the US federal government deemed poverty to be a national crisis, and actively intervened to solve this problem. My question for this article is how did preschool education become a key site to remedy this crisis?

I show how the discipline of early childhood education cohered around the term “disadvantaged child”, in tu…
Fearing future epidemics
In the fall of 1892, ten years into the fifth international cholera epidemic that lasted from 1881 to 1896, fear of cholera in North America, particularly in Toronto, was full blown.

Maritime traffic of immigrants from Europe was continuous, and each migrant ship potentiall…
Urbanizing the security agenda
The meanings of “terrorism” and “anti‐terrorism” are socially constructed and highly contested. Timothy Luke’s (2004) term “propaganda of the deed” suggests that terrorism is linked to a war of signs. Each deed can be mobilized for different interests to energize and embed each act with layers of politics and culture as a frame for retaliation. According to Robert W. Williams, “Contemporary terrorism is characterized by the randomness of its atta…
