Course description
This course examined how “carcerality” is an organizing feature of public education in the U.S. through an exploration of disciplinary processes, technology and surveillance practices, curricular norms, and the built environment in schools. In the second half, we explored attempts to de-carcerate education, especially through the organized efforts of communities of color to pass Ethnic Studies legislation and create Freedom Schools. (Note: The examples we used are one of many that can be used--we encourage you to use examples that are relevant and resonant with your local context.)
