Forum on Race and Racism in Critical Security Studies

A new special issue in Security Dialogue focuses on race and racism in critical security studies. The forum presents diverse contributions to scholarly debates around racism, antiracism and the historical structures of meaning in the field of international relations, security studies, critical security studies, and securitization theory.

This special forum is born out of Security Dialogue’s continued commitment to create structured and reflexive spaces for discussion around race and racism in critical security studies. It has been carefully curated to showcase thoughtful, unexpected and productive conversations on this theme at a time when there is increased urgency to take action against the inequities embedded in structural formations like racism and colonialism. The forum features contributions from a range of exciting new voices as well as well-established scholars including Arlene Tickner, Spike Peterson, David Chandler and Samuel Makinda.

Security Dialogue is a journal of the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), edited by Mark B. Salter and Marit Moe-Pryce and published by SAGE.  The journal aims to combine advances in theory with new empirical findings across fields relevant to the study of security including international studies, political sociology, political economy, cultural studies, political theory, and postcolonial studies.
