The legacies of colonialism, racial hierarchies and violence, land dispossession, and cultural and societal erasure are all encompassed in what Michel Foucault defines as the carceral; or the ways in which those in power discipline and control those without power. This study group will attempt to decolonize the carceral through the lenses of Indigenous and Black Studies and attempt to put these two distinct yet similar fields in conversation to reflect upon the carceral state and decolonization.

Registration will be first come, first served. Preregistration is required.
