Professor Jacqueline Hodgson (Law) @ Black Watch production.

In April 2008, the Scottish National Theatre brought their internationally acclaimed production of The Black Watch to the Warwick Arts Centre. Three of the performances were preceded by a short talk from a Warwick academic - Professor Jacqueline Hodgson (Law), Dr Andrew Hoskins (Sociology), Ms Solange Mouthaan (Law). Prof Hodgson’s talk ‘Unknown Enemies’ focused on the so-called War on Terror and the ways in which the ambivalence surrounding the nature of the terrorist threat is reflected in the domestic legislative response. Dr Hoskins discussed media representations of terrorism and Ms Mouthaan’s talk addressed the international law issues.
