We will consider the dense web of relationships that extend far beyond the prison as a material structure, tracing the many different sites and effects of the prison industrial complex as well as the multiple efforts to dismantle it. At the same time, we will follow what Frederick Douglass and Angela Davis call "abolition democracy," which positions abolition as a process of creation rather than simply of dismantlement. Accordingly, the course looks closely at practices that redirect resources away from systems of oppression and toward imagining and building new conditions where all can survive and thrive. Will be taught in the GWS House, 1205 W. Nevada. Room 102. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Emphasis is on the multiple modalities and dimensions of racialization--race making, remaking, and attempts at unmaking—in different parts of the world. The central question asked is how racialized hierarchies, disparities, marked and unmarked identities, and the multi-scalar patterns of discrimination, aggression, and violence have formed, been restructured, and become loci of contestation through a continuum of epistemological, cultural, spatial, and sociopolitical practices. Also, racialization’s implications for citizenship, migration and mobility, human rights, and the social ontology of being and nonbeing will be explored
