Turkish academics are exiled or imprisoned for signing a letter calling for peace. In the US 60% of the prison population are people of colour, despite constituting only a quarter of the population.

This inaugural issue of Interfere examines orders that systematically produce economic and political violence. It invites contributions that analyse the violence of neo-liberal and neo-conservative logics; the aftermaths of colonialism; forced displacements and immigration politics; technologies of surveillance; and the rise of exclusionary discourses worldwide. We also welcome contributions that analyse resistance to these forms of violence.
Interfere journal invites scholarly articles of no more than 8,000 to be submitted for doubleblind review. Political reports and book reviews are also encouraged. Please refer to our submission guidelines.
