Seminar 7: Bring into Order: School(ing) as a War of Correction
Sep 18, 2023
6:00–7:30pm ET
Online
Year two of the Correction* Seminar Series begins with a look at correction in education and prison systems. The school-to-prison pipeline in the United States is well documented; less so is a conceptualization of correction as a social institution that affects carcerality writ large and other regimes of capitalist and racialized discipline and control. This conversation with Dylan Rodríguez not only pushes beyond “reform” as an objective of collective engagement with, and revolt against, regimes of correction (schooling and otherwise) but also recognizes how reform is already part of the correctional apparatus and its logic of carcerality and policing. Dylan Rodríguez is joined in conversation with Alejo Rodriguez, part-time lecturer at The New School and Chief of Curriculum and Storytelling at Zealous, a public defender advocacy organization.
Dylan Rodríguez is Professor and Chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Riverside.
The twelve-part Correction* Seminar Series is structured as an open curriculum and presented from September 2022 through May 2024. Led by Vera List Center faculty and staff, each monthly seminar in this two-year series explores the perils and potentials of the political, social, and metaphorical implications of “correction.” Bridging theory and practice, Correction* unfolds through three distinct research clusters every semester set to guide our joint investigation into Restitution, the Body, and Carcerality. It is presented as part of the Barbara Jordan Lectures: The State of Democracy series.
The Vera List Center is committed to ensuring that our programs are accessible to and inclusive of all. Please let us know when registering if you need any accommodations.
