From Slavery to Police Brutality: The History of United States Racist Policing
Jason Williams, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Montclair State University, will present "U.S. Policing as Racialized Social Control: Canvassing Baltimore and Ferguson." His talk will intersectionalize our understanding of policing and recommend the need for a more historical and complicated approach toward policing practice and understanding. Viviane Saleh Hanna, Ph.D., professor and chairperson of crime and justice studies at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, will examine police and vigilante white supremacist violence using her research on black feminist hauntology and abolitionist theory of crime.
