MONDAY NIGHT LECTURE SERIES | HOPE AND HOPELESSNESS

Carceral Logic and the Paradox of Hope

OCTOBER 17 @ 6 P.M. | Daniel Family Commons, Usdan University Center

This paper will unpack and explore various meanings of "carceral" in order to bring into focus the ways that "carceral logics" shape our social and political relations beyond more obvious forms of captivity. Carceral logics, I'll argue, hold us captive in a system of disposability and permanent exclusions that make hope seem impossible.
