Jessica Pandian is developing the work of the IRR News on institutional racism in the police force. In particular, she is focusing on the use of force, from the low-level to tasers and firearms, and on the historic continuities of British policing. Jessica has an MPhil in Latin American Studies, in which she researched anti-Black policing, histories of gang violence, and racial resistance across Latin America and the Caribbean. She is currently working with Inquest while also volunteering with the Independent Film Trust on projects relating to British history.
