Race, Racism, and Whiteness

Race, the Criminal Justice System, and Career

Presented by Madigan Turnquist and Sam Boren

This session will discuss the intersections of race, the criminal justice system, and career. We will look at how interactions with the justice system affect career prospects & outcomes, how the economy interacts with prisons, and how racial bias and discrimination compounds these negative impacts, specifically for black people in America. We will share current research based heavily on the work of Michelle Alexander and Bryan Stevenson, among other scholars and activists, invite participants to share personal experiences and knowledge, and discuss possible action steps moving forward.
