Hi Kath,
Lynn A. Staeheli and Caroline R. Nagel. "Rethinking Security: Perspectives from Arab-American and British Arab Activists" Antipode 40.5 (2008): 780-801 is a great article that shows the everyday experiences with securitization/terrorism suspicions, and it is written in a style that is very accessible. It might work for first year students.
Best,
Patricia

Subject: Re: Teaching Resource suggestions: Terrorism and Everyday life
As you've no doubt found, amongst the political, international affairs and foreign policy articles there's little enough of any kind of critical view (academics are always practical creatures and there's a lot of money to be made out of taking terrorism at face value, objectifying it and not being too critical... have a look at 'Counter-Insurgency Studies' sometime!) and I'm not really sure how suitable this is for First Years, but:
If you come at it from a biopolitical point-of-view you can do interesting material across a range of social, political and cultural stuff, such as Feldman, S., Geisler, C. and Menon, G. (2011) Accumulating Insecurity: Violence and Dispossession in the Making of Everyday Life (Athens: U.G.P.), not to mention:
John Morrissey (2011): Liberal Lawfare and Biopolitics: US Juridical Warfare in the War on Terror, Geopolitics, 16:2, 280-305.
Torok, R. (2011) The 9/11 Commission Report and the reframing of the ‘war on terror’ as a new type of warfare, Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism, Volume 6, Issue 2, 2011.
Mendieta, E. (2011) The politics of terror and the neoliberal military minimalist state, City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action, 15:3-4, 407-413.
More to do with aspects more specifically focused on 'othering' the terrorist, you have pieces like:
Graham, S. D. N. (2005) ’Remember Fallujah : demonising place, constructing atrocity.’, Environment and planning D : society and space., 23 (1). pp. 1-10.
Graham, S. D. N. (2005) ’Constructing ’homeland’ and ’target’ cities in the ’war on terror’.’ (http://dro.dur.ac.uk/18/1/Graham_constructing.pdf).
Le Billon, P. (2006) Fatal Transactions: Conflict Diamonds and the (Anti)Terrorist Consumer, Antipode Volume 38, Issue 4.
Jamal, A. and Naber, C. (2008) Race and Arab Americans before and after 9/11: from invisible citizens to visible subjects (NY: Syracuse University Press).

Subject: Re: Teaching Resource suggestions: Terrorism and Everyday life
Dear all,
I am struggling to find critical geographical readings on terrorism and everyday life that would be accessible to First Year undergraduates. I particularly want them to engage with a critique of the ‘terrorist other’ and the effects of security/fear on their everyday lives.
Any help would be gratefully received and a list of suggestions posted back to this list.
Thank you!
Kath
