Imagining Otherwise: Strategies for Teaching and Learning Abolition
Kate Drabinski,Principal Lecturer, Department of Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies; and Director of the Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL+) program
The
logics of crime and punishment are so deeply embedded for most of us
that it is hard to think of any alternatives. Carceral logics shape
everything from the attendance and late policies on our syllabi to our
responses to fear and harm. How do we learn to imagine otherwise? In
this presentation, Dr. Kate Drabinski will share strategies from her
teaching about prisons, prison abolition, and social movements that
build toward that horizon. She will also raise questions about how we
might start building anti-carceral logics into our classes to nurture
this work on a wider scale.
Part of the "Prison State" lecture series - one-hour presentations by scholars, community organizers, and other experts addressing a variety of issues shaping the past, present, and future of incarceration.
Co-sponsored by the Department of American Studies; the Department of Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies; Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health; School of Social Work; Department of Psychology; Department of Political Science; Language, Literacy, and Culture Program; Department of Media and Communication Studies; the Dresher Center for the Humanities; the Center for Social Science Scholarship; and the Graduate School.
