- Understanding Policing
In this episode we move through Paul Butler's theorization of the chokehold and give a fast and dirty summation of the War on Drugs, the militarization of the police, and the consequences of contemporary policing. This draws from my time as a student of Dawn Dow and Gretchen Purser and my study of Michelle Alexander, Radley Balko, Michelle Brown, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Loic Wacquant, and Bruce Western among others. What's shared here isn't exhaustive but lays a foundation for better understanding emerging critiques of policing.

This experimental course is designed to speak to the state, texture, and parameters of contemporary racism. Given the mobilizations all over the country (and the world) in response to the death of…
George Floyd in particular and the maiming, killing, and incarceration of Black people in general, there is a yearning for resources, knowledge, accountability, and community. This raging dirge being sung by Black Americans all over the country calls for us to listen and respond.
