New publication out co-authored with @nicostrim.bsky.social! "Surveillance, De-Democratization and the Digital States of Exception: Cyprus, a Small State Surveillance-Post"

The second day of #PSA25 kicked off with another powerful panel on dislocation and its epistemics! Insightful exchanges with Olivier Ouzilou, @dbonansinga.bsky.social & @dralbertazziuk.bsky.social, @rokuppers.bsky.social, @michaelangeloanast.bsky.social and Andy Knott—deep theory, sharp debates!
