Counter-Extremism and High Policing in Canada: Improvising Security
Routledge, 2026
My first book offers an ethnographic look inside Canada’s counter-extremism apparatus, revealing how the state constructs “extremism” as a security category and how these classifications expand policing and surveillance. Through fieldwork with police units and community practitioners, it shows how counter-extremism is improvised in everyday practice—often in ways that reproduce inequality and reshape the boundaries of risk, belonging, and state power.
