Adaner Usmani joins us for our second installment of the Anti-Essentialism Series, Part Deux. We discuss a recent article in Catalyst Journal, co-authored by John Clegg, titled "The Economic Origins of Mass Incarceration" (link below). This essay links the rise in violent crime and mass confinement to class struggle and various responses by regular folks and elites to neoliberal economic transformation.

Tune in and get smart.

The Anti-Essentialism Series Part Deux kicks off with a discussion of biomedical essentialism and the increasing categorization of the human species into ever-meaningless classifications.

Joanna Wuest joins us to break down the philosophy, the science, and the history of biomedical essentialism. We reveal the political uses and abuses of these categories and how the growing movement for universal social goods appears to be overturning these essentialist worldviews.
