At the next IC Diversity & Inclusion Discussion Circle, Dr. Sean Eversley-Bradwell will be leading a discussion on the first couple of chapters from the book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander. This book discusses the connections between race and mass incarceration in the United States.
Alexander's central premise, from which the book derives its title, is that "mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow.” Dr. Bradwell will discuss the historical connections between slavery and the rise of mass incarceration.
Please join us for discussion on Tuesday October 25th at noon in Klingenstein Lounge.
