In this episode, Hannah is joined once again by dipbuk Panchal to discuss Stuart Hall's 2017 text The Fateful Triangle: Race, Ethnicity, Nation. We go through the first chapter of the book titled Race - The Sliding Signifier. This is a chapter with a lot of theoretical depth and so we take you through some of the key terms of the text such as 'signified', 'discourse' and 'power'. In addition to this, we also relate the text to other source material, and dipbuk talks about their research with the police.

dipbuk is a PhD researcher in the Sociology department at the University of Warwick. They research policing through an intersectional lens, and in particular focus on the relationship between the body and the police uniform with regards to power and identity.

Paola was away for the episode due to a visit with family, but will be back for our season finale.
