R1.13, Ramphal Building

Reading: Digital Vulnerability in Criminal Justice:Vulnerable People and Communication Technologies (2026) Palgrave Macmillan by Carolyn Mackay.
This book is available Open Access and can be downloaded via this link.

The discussion will be led by Dr Lorna Cameron, Visiting Research fellow at CIM, and will include a short presentation followed by reflections from participants. You are encouraged to read the book, or part of it, prior to the meeting.

Carolyn McKay’s most recent book, released in January 2026, documents her ARC DECRA–funded project The Digital Criminal Justice Project: Vulnerability and the Digital Subject, begun in 2021 and coinciding with the Covid-19 pandemic and the rapid transformations it brought to criminal justice processes. The study draws on McKay’s observations, interviews, and surveys with criminal justice professionals who make up the trial court, and is therefore primarily an account of professional participation in digitalised proceedings.
Lorna Cameron is a recent PhD graduate and Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at Warwick, with an original disciplinary background in architecture and design research.

Lunch will be provided.
