Carceral Liberalism in an Age of Fascism

As the world confronts fascism, authoritarianism, imperialism and genocide, the UIC Institute for the Humanities is bringing together scholars, organizers and artists to address the limitations of liberal responses. Can liberal cities and institutions protect vulnerable communities from repression? What can be done to push beyond carceral liberalism and center the humanity of the most vulnerable?

Join UIC faculty in conversation with Dylan Rodriguez, Rod Ferguson, Lisa Bhungalia, Antonio Gutierrez, Rey Wences, Martine Caverl, Damon Williams, Joey Mogul, Rev. David Black and others.

Register.
