Professor Brooks’s public commentary carries his research into the national conversation: the case he puts to parliamentary committees is the case he makes on air and in print. He comments on citizenship, immigration, justice and constitutional affairs for UK and international media, and has done so for more than two decades in the United Kingdom for outlets including BBC News, BBC Radio 4, ITV News, Sky News, The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Independent, and in the United States for CNN and Newsweek.
