De Goede is Principal Investigator of FOLLOW: Following the Money from Transaction to Trial. She will contribute broadly to the project, for example to further conceptualise the notion of the chain and its specific material properties and spatial formations. De Goede is also specifically interested in terrorism financing trials and the role of security expertise.
With FOLLOW, de Goede hopes to contribute to academic debates at the intersection between International Relations, Science and Technology Studies, Political Geography and Critical Legal Studies. She hopes that FOLLOW will help foster a broad public debate on financial security practices, which have important implications for everyone with a bank account but remain largely invisible. FOLLOW embraces Isabelle Stengers’ search for a mode of critique that seeks to think with professionals, using their own doubts, challenges and hesitations as anchors for questions and critique.
