I’ve just uploaded a copy of the syllabus for a new class I’ll be teaching the second half of this semester, “Ethnographies of Police”. I’m pretty psyched about it. You can find a pdf version here, or go to the “Teaching” page of my blog and see it amongst the other syllabi uploaded there.

Policing and Eudaemonic Legitimacy in GhanaLaw Soc Inq (1 June 2013), pp. n/a-n/a, doi:10.1111/lsi.12025Ghana is widely considered as “a beacon of hope for democracy in Africa” (Gyimah-Boadi 2010, 137).
