Emily Brooks is a National Endowment for the Humanities Long-Term Fellow at the New York Public Library and an adjunct assistant professor at LaGuardia Community College. She writes about policing in the 20th century in New York City. Her work interrogates how policing creates and intersects with inequalities around race, gender, sexuality, and class as well as how the violence of militarism and domestic policing are interconnected. Her book, Gotham’s War Within a War: Anti-Vice Policing, Militarism, and the Birth of Law-and-Order Liberalism is under contract with the University of North Carolina Press.
