Roundtable: Resisting Injustice - Critical Criminologies in Transgressive Praxis, Transformational Power, Carceral Abolition, and Transformative Justice

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Sessions

Abstract/Description

Panelists discuss their ongoing work on resistance to injustice, with a particular focus on the harms of neoliberalism, crimes of the powerful, violations of human rights, and attacks on the rule of law. This roundtable invites reflection on how we resist amid chronic and escalating injustices — and how we imagine and enact more just worlds. Through discussion grounded in both lived experience and critical scholarship, participants will explore opportunities for criminologies of resistance across education and pedagogy, activism and organizing, theory and research, and community-based praxis.
