November 10, 2015 CRASSH Seminar: 'Free me: Education as the Practice of Freedom' (audio)
This was the third seminar in the ‘Subversive Good’ CRASSH series on Tuesday 10 November 2015.
Speakers: Baz Dreisinger (Prison to College Pipeline, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY), Karen Graham (Educational Sociology) and Ingrid Obsuth (Criminology)
How are security discourses shaping schools as spaces of learning and education as the ‘practice of freedom’? What are the impacts of securitisation upon social justice and inclusion? What if our prisons became hotbeds of learning and connection? Our dialogue will be led by Baz Dreisinger (founder and Academic Director of John Jay’s groundbreaking Prison-to-College Pipeline programme in New York), Ingrid Obsuth, (an expert in the socio-emotional, cognitive and biological aspects of the development and progression of delinquent and aggressive behaviour in young people) and Karen Graham (whose research focusses on the correspondence between experiences in school and in prison).

October 20, 2015 Technology and Democracy - 19 October 2015 - The End of Safe Harbour: Implications of the Schrems Judgement
A lunchtime workshop of the ‘Technology and Democracy’ project
In a landmark judgment on October 7 the European Court of Justice has ruled that the Safe Harbour framework governing the transfer of EU citizens’ personal data to the US does not comply with the requirements of EU Data Protection law in light of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and is therefore invalid under EU law.
The Safe Harbour framework stemmed from a decision of the European Commission in 2000 (2000/520/EC) that the US afforded an adequate level of protection of personal data transferred to the US from the EU. This decision was made long before the EU Charter became part of EU law and more than a decade prior to the Edward Snowden revelations.
The ECJ’s judgment thus invalidates arrangements that for 15 years have allowed Internet companies to transfer the personal data of European users to server farms in the US and elsewhere. It has very wide-ranging implications — not just for data-protection law, but also for the economics of Internet companies and for international relations. This workshop will discuss some of those implications.
Panel: David Runciman (chair), John Naughton, Ross Anderson, Nora Ni Loideain

July 24, 2015 'What would 'Brexit' mean for free movement?': Catherine Barnard
In an interview with the BBC yesterday (23 July 2015), US President Barack Obama argued that having "the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union and is part of the cornerstone of institutions built after World War II that has made the world safer and more prosperous." He continued: "And we want to make sure that United Kingdom continues to have that influence. Because we believe that the values that we share are the right ones, not just for ourselves, but for Europe as a whole and the world as a whole." In this video, Catherine Barnard looks at the debate surrounding Brexit and in particular what Brexit would mean for free movement.
