Dear all,

I'm delighted to announce SOAS’ inaugural conference of "Carceral Policy, Policing and Race" on the 7-8 September. The 2-day conference explores the varying realities – and meanings – of carcerality around the world, and asks how these realities have been shaped by histories of colonialism and slavery. Recalibrating a discussion that has been dominated by perspectives from the Global North, we aim to adopt a truly comparative framework to connect the carceral experiences of those across the traditional African, Asian and Middle Eastern remit of SOAS to those in Europe, the Americas and Oceania. Rooted in this understanding, we want to bring together researchers, policymakers and activists, united in a desire to answer the following question: what does it mean to decolonise systems of criminal justice around the world?

You can register, and find more information about the conference programme, here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/carceral-policy-policing-and-race-inaugural-conference-soas-tickets-386963687807?aff=erelexpmlt 

We would love to see as many of you there as possible.

All the very best,

Oly
