The project will employ video autoethnographies to explore the impact of 'British Values' upon Muslim individuals and communities across the East of England. Lee continues to work on several other collaborative projects, including with Michael Lister (Oxford Brookes) on the impacts of anti-terrorism powers on citizenship and security across the UK; with Stuart Macdonald (Swansea) and Tom Chen (City University, London) on cyberterrorism and cybersecurity; and, with Tim Legrand (ANU) on the proscription of terrorist organisations.
