A picture of the audience of Vanessa E. Thompson's talk. The latter is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in comparative cultural and social anthropology at European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. She was previously a lecturer at the Institute of Sociology at Goethe University Frankfurt and a fellow at the Department of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research and teaching are focused on black studies, critical racism studies, feminist theories, post- and decolonial feminist theories and methodologies, critical security studies, and transformative and abolitionist justice. In her current project, she analyses forms of policing blackness in European contexts from a black feminist perspective and looks at abolitionist alternatives. Vanessa is also engaged in these fields as an activist. She co-founded the collective copwatchffm and is a member of the International Independent Commission on the Death of Oury Jalloh.
