Josephine Harmon's article on US gun culture out now
16 May 2022
Congratulations to UCL Americas PhD candidate Josephine Harmon on the recent publication of her article on U.S. gun culture. Her article proposes a new analytical framework to understand U.S. gun culture and its attendant cultural identifiers. Using the Weberian concept of the state, in which the state’s monopoly on force is the basis of its legitimacy, its key theoretical contribution is that gun culture contests the state’s monopoly on force. Her PhD thesis in Political Science examines the role of elite actors in gun politics.
