You may be aware of the ongoing Undercover Policing Inquiry and articles in the media reporting on the “spycops” who, since the 1960s, have infiltrated the lives of UK activists and, in some cases, went as far a forging false relationships with women and fathering children.

On Friday 31 January, 1-2.30pm in JX2.02, the Centre for Operational Police Research (COPR) with Warwick Law School is hosting a seminar with Christopher Brian who set up the Undercover Research Group to support those activists most affected by the surveillance. Chris and colleagues have spent years piecing together the fragmentary and limited evidence that was in the public domain before the Undercover Policing Inquiry.

Further details are in the poster attached and the registration link is here. It would be great to see some psychology peeps at this event. I will send another reminder in the new year, but you might wish to save the date.
