Session Summary

Building the Radical Imaginary Now: Abolitionist Practices and Movements to End Our Carceral State

Tue, April 17, 8:15 to 9:45am, Sheraton New York Times Square, Floor: Second Floor, Empire Ballroom West

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

What are the possibilities of non-reformist reforms—of changes that, at the end of the day, unravel rather than widen the net of social control through criminalization (Gilmore, 2007, p. 242)? Participants in this panel take up this question in educational contexts. This roundtable will bring together educators, organizers, and scholars working in educational and community spaces to discuss the intersections of prison abolition and education.
