AMST 200 - Race, Prisons and Policing

2023-2024 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0


Recent social movements have highlighted the disproportionate effects of policing and imprisonment on communities of color in the United States. This interdisciplinary course introduces students to these issues of inequality and social justice in the current US context. This course focuses on how policing and prisons, past and present, are deeply imbricated with racial inequality, while also considering how other structural inequalities (e.g. citizenship/migration status, class, gender, sexuality) shape experiences of criminalization and justice. Students will be exposed to multiple humanities, social science, and activist perspectives on these issues.
