We are hoping to receive contributions analyzing phenomena as diverse as the policing of black bodies (United States and Brazil), controlling populations in the name of drugs (Philippines), religion and ethnicity (South Asia, Israel and Palestine, Iran, Sudan, Turkey, Nigeria), gender, sexuality and family values
(Russia, Mexico, Argentina, Pakistan) etc.
