Abstract
Based on the book Fabricating Homeland Security: Police Entanglements across India and Palestine/Israel, published by Stanford University Press in 2024, Rhys Machold will trace homeland security’s origins in the Zionist colonization of Palestine and subsequent efforts by Israel’s homeland security industry to ‘penetrate’ India in the course of the global ‘war on terror’. By charting these less known histories and geographies of homeland security, the talk will raise urgent political questions about the actually existing extent of security’s self-implied universality and inevitability, even in places and societies deeply imbricated in empire and capitalist social relations.

About the CrimSL Research Cluster for the Study of Racism and Inequality
In March 2021, faculty of U of T's Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies proposed the creation of a Research Cluster for the Study of Racism and Inequality related to BIPOC people. This Research Cluster aims to build knowledge about the historical and ongoing legacies of racism, colonialism, gendered and sexual violence, exclusion and other forms of structural inequality by providing a research platform for interrogating the roots of social disenfranchisement.
