Matt Clement: Marx, Class and the History of Rioting
Jonathan Havercroft is joined by Matt Clements to discuss his research into the political theory of riots, class and the history of rioting. His 2016 book, 'A People's History of Riots, Protest and the Law', explores Marxian interpretations of political protest.
Profile: Matt Clement is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Royal Holloway University. Matt worked as a careers adviser and teacher in the 1990s and a community worker and youth justice worker in the 2000s. He has since worked at a number of universities publishing in journals such as Race & Class, Social Justice, Critical Criminology and the European Journal of Criminology. Subjects covered include the history of riots and anti-racism, knife crime, Social movements from populism to black lives matter, state crimes and labelling processes.
Matt is a critical criminologist, a sociologist of deviance. Some of his influences include Marxism and the sociology of Norbert Elias - and within Criminology the ideas of David Matza, Angela Davis, Stan Cohen and Stuart Hall.
