Courses

Race, Solidarity, and the Carceral State
Spring 2021 & Fall 2021, Harvard University
An advanced seminar for undergraduate students, this course surveys how U.S. social and racial justice movements have encountered and interacted with the rise of the carceral state. Together we will ask: what possibilities of resistance are imagined under conditions of repression? And how have these possibilities of resistance and conditions of repression changed over time?
