Episode Notes

Dr. Muller works at intersection of three interdisciplinary fields: borders & borderlands studies, critical security studies, and surveillance studies. I grapple with the intersection of borders, borderlands, security, identity and postcolonial studies, sovereign power and exceptionalism, as well as topics concerning biometric technology, surveillance, AI, the politics of risk, migration & mobility, and broader themes and literatures in international political sociology.
