Monish Bhatia is a Lecturer in Criminology at Birkbeck, University of London, where he specializes in critical criminological approaches to borders, racism, and state violence. His work sits at the intersection of criminology, migration studies, and critical race theory.
Research Interests: Monish's research spans several interconnected areas within criminology and social justice. His primary focus includes:
- Border Criminology: Examining how borders function as sites of violence and racialized control
- Racism and Criminal Justice: Investigating systemic racism within policing, courts, and corrections
- State Violence: Analyzing various forms of state-sanctioned violence against marginalized communities
- Migration and Vulnerability: Exploring how immigration policies create and exacerbate vulnerability among migrant populations
- Media and Crime: Studying how media representations construct narratives around race, crime, and justice
His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on critical perspectives in criminology, particularly examining how state power operates through borders, immigration enforcement, and criminal justice systems. His work often highlights the racialized nature of these processes and their impacts on vulnerable populations.
Editorial Work: Monish serves as co-editor for several significant academic publications including:
- Media, Crime and Racism (Palgrave, 2018)
- Critical Engagements with Borders, Racisms and State Violence (Critical Criminology, 2020)
- Migration, Vulnerability and Violence (International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, 2020)
- Race, Mental Health and State Violence (Race & Class, 2021)
Through his role as Lecturer, Monish contributes to the Border Criminologies research programme at Birkbeck, fostering critical dialogue around issues of borders, migration, and social justice.
