Bavo Stevens is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Political Science at McGill University and a Visiting Researcher at the Faculty of Political Science at Chulalongkorn University. He is currently doing fieldwork in Thailand for this thesis on the everyday politics of policing in Thailand. Bavo explores how police discretion—the selective or non-application of the law—impacts citizens’ access to civil and political rights. His research also touches on questions of police masculinity and gendered policing.
