The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Lawrence University presents the 2022-23 DE&I Community Conversation Series: Race, Racism, and Justice.
The speaker is Dr. Wendy Leo Moore, an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Texas A&M University. A sociologist and lawyer, her work focuses on the provocative intersections of race, the law, and legal institutions.
This talk will cover how with the creation of a militaristic system of policing, a commitment to punitive response to social problems, and the proliferation of a prison industrial complex, the criminal justice system has become the most subversive and dangerous power of the state to control and oppress BIPOC people and communities.
