Security Dialogue February 2026. ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ

How do scandals, controversies, and struggles enable or deactivate certain critiques of security?

Please join this webinar where the special issue guest editors Claudia Aradau and Georgios Glouftsios, authors, and journal editors of Security Dialogue, meet to talk about the recently published Special Issue on Making security public: scandals, controversies, struggles.

Secret, obscure, and elusive security practices often require the persistent efforts of investigative journalists, activists, oversight bodies, researchers, and non-governmental organizations to shed light on the inner workings of security apparatuses and to open new scenes of contestation. We have convened this exciting panel to further illuminate and share key highlights from this important project.
