Professor of Law, American University Professor Ferguson teaches and writes in the area of criminal procedure, evidence, and new technologies. He is a national expert on juries, predictive policing, big data surveillance, and the Fourth Amendment. His articles have appeared in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, the California Law Review, the Cornell Law Review, the UCLA Law Review, the Minnesota Law Review, the Northwestern Law Review, the Vanderbilt Law Review, the University of Southern California Law Review, and the Notre Dame Law Review among others. Professor Ferguson’s book The Rise of Big Data Policing: Surveillance, Race, and the Future of Law Enforcement (NYU Press) examines how surveillance technology and predictive analytics shapes modern policing. His first book Why Jury Duty Matters: A Citizen’s Guide to Constitutional Action (NYU Press) is the first book written for jurors on jury duty. (Book Review). For D.C. residents he also stars in the “Welcome To Jury Duty Video” in D.C. Superior Court seen by more than 30,000 citizens annually.
Lecturer in Social Anthropology, University of Reading I am a Lecturer in Social Anthropology in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Reading. My research looks at the politics and aesthetics of material culture in Mexico and the United Kingdom, especially the topics of art production, cultural tourism and religious heritage. I completed my PhD at the London School of Economics in 2012, after which I held a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Oslo and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship at the University of Kent, as well as visiting teaching positions at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the University of Cambridge.
Postdoctoral Researcher, School of Law and Government, Dublin City University Ashley A. Mattheis is a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University and an affiliate of the Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC) at Swansea University. Her work brings together cultural studies, media studies, and rhetorical criticism, through the lens of feminist theory to explore the material effects of technology and cultural production and consumption online. Her areas of inquiry include the digital cultures of the ‘Momosphere,’ the Alt-Right, the ‘Manosphere,’ and #Tradwives with a goal of better understanding how gendered logics are used to promote racial hate, discrimination, and to promote violence. Her publications include: Atomwaffen Division and its Affiliates on Telegram: Variations, Practices, and Interconnections a report for the Resolve Network, “#TradCulture: Reproducing Whiteness and Neofascism through Gendered Discourse Online,” in the Routledge Handbook of Critical Studies in Whiteness,” “Shieldmaidens of Whiteness: (Alt)Maternalism and Women Recruiting for the Far/Alt-Right,” in the Journal for Deradicalization, and ‘The Greatness of Her Position’: Comparing Identitarian and Jihadi Discourses on Women, a report published by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization.
