Criminal trials have traditionally favoured live, physically present, embodied human testimony. A paradigm shift is occurring with the increasing use of video technologies in criminal proceedings, hinting at a future immaterial, digitized posthuman courtroom. My PhD research at the University of Sydney explores the expanding use of video technologies and the associated disappearance of the human body from the criminal justice system.

British Society of Criminology Conference
I can breath a sigh of relief – I've just presented at the BSC conference at the University of Portsmouth and had a, seemingly, very positive response to my paper "Video conferencing and inmates: a new observatory of the criminal body".
It's been great to make contacts and have conversations with various postgrad students and academics from England and USA following my presentation. I can now relax, enjoy the rest of the conference, especially tomorrow night's dinner on board the HMS Warrior.
