Interupting Carceral Feminism

An Introduction

This interactive workshop will examine carceral feminist frameworks that rely on the state to respond to violence in cities, states, and nations. Carceral feminist frameworks advocated for punitive responses that focus on individuals regardless of the impact on the larger community. In this workshop, we will explore the alternatives to state-sponsored punishment and sanctions as we continue conversations and movement towards transformative justice feminism that fights against the disinvestment in communities, values community accountability, and provides spaces to transform the lives of those who cause harm and those who are harmed.
