(Spring 2018)

Section Information for Spring 2018

Policing Black Bodies interrogates the myriad ways in which Black Bodies are policed both literally and symbolically.  Harnessing the theoretical lenses of intersectionality and color blind racism, this course provides students with a framework for connecting every kind of policing from the incarceration of more than a million black bodies on any given day in the United States to the exploitation of these Black bodies through prison industries, to the role that riots play as a form of organized protest, to the school to prison pipeline and the policing of both women’s bodies and trans bodies.
