Carceral States AALAC Workshop (Day 2)
Carceral States: Prison Writing & Liberal Arts Education
The powerful legacy of carceral regimes around the world, whether in democratic nations or authoritarian states, and their historical legacies of unjust detention, imprisonment, and exile offer an opportunity to consider complicity and resistance under carceral logic, the ethics of teaching these subjects in and outside of prisons, and the role of the arts in society. Join us for a two-day workshop on the role of prisons in the liberal arts curriculum, carceral studies research, and projects that blur the lines between academia and activism.
Sponsored by The Alliance to Advance Liberal Arts Colleges, the Russian Department, and the Provost’s Office
