GNDR 3640 - Race, Gender, and Incarceration

This course examines the ways social positionalities/identities such as gender, sexuality, race, class, and immigration status impact people’s and communities’ experiences with the carceral state. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, we explore the expansion of the carceral state while centering the experiences of marginalized communities within that expansion with particular attention to communities of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, youth, the unhoused, and undocumented community members.
