2018 - 2019: Critical Justice Education

Caleb Knapp and Alan-Michael Weatherford have received the 2018-2019 CLIP Fellows award to offer their course series,  Interrogating Carceral Logics, Practices, and Histories. This series explores the meanings and possibilities of critical justice education across a range of geographies, objects, methods, and periods. It begins with the assumption that carceral processes enact forms of material and epistemological violence against people who have most often been criminalized on the basis of race, gender, class, sex(uality), religion, and/or ability. The courses center these marginalized voices and conjoins the fellows' scholarship on Atlantic Slavery, Racial Capitalism, Sexuality Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Transnational Studies. While their expertise differs, their courses ask the same question: how can we understand carceral logics, practices, and histories and how have people developed modes of resistance to them?
