AMST 4601

Gender, Race, and the Prison

New Add to Schedule

Course Description

In this course, we will study the intersection of social scientific and humanistic scholarship, showing how the prison deploys and produces gender and its imbrications with race, class, and sexuality as a tool of control, punishment, and dehumanization. Our materials will highlight the experiences of women as we consider the carceral state that is fundamentally organized by gendered assumptions that shape the experiences of all social groups.
