In this roundtable discussion (Via Zoom), Sonia Das (Linguistic Anthopology, NYU), Gabriella Johnson (English, NYU), Stuart Schrader (Africana Studies and Program in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship, Johns Hopkins) and Nikhil Singh (Social and Cultural Analysis, History and Prison Education Program, NYU) will share their research on race, policing, mass incarceration and prison abolitionism in the United States and beyond. The panelists will explore how research undertaken and disseminated in different contexts (both within and outside of universities in the wake of Black Lives Matter movement and other protest movements) and across diverse approaches (policing, carceral studies, technology, prison education, literary and cultural studies, and scholar-activism) can contribute to raising critical awareness of police violence and mass incarceration.
