New BISA working group co-founded by Thomas Martin

 An armed police officer in London, England on 29 April 2011 on duty for the Royal Wedding.

Dr Thomas Martin (POLIS) has co-founded a new BISA (British International Studies Association) Working Group. The Security Policy and Practice (SPP) Working Group aims to build relationships between academic, practitioner and policymaking communities on issues pertaining to UK security policy and practice, broadly understood. In partnership with Rethinking Security – a network which brings together UK civil society, activists, NGOs and academics to explore alternatives to current UK security policy and practice – this working group aims to strengthen and facilitate a policy-engaged dialogue on UK security, which prioritises a plurality of theoretical and political lenses, including historically more marginalised voices.
