Why is it important?

My research on racial profiling is being taught at many universities as part of the curriculum. I have four articles and one book review in this very important research area of racial profiling of minorities in the US.

Perspectives

This paper fits well in the series of papers and complements others. I belief that the attention to how the individual resists being surveilled is an everyday revolution. I enjoyed collecting the data but also was disturbed by what I collected.
