It has been said that the events of September 11, 2001 fundamentally  
changed the world as we understood it. The passage of Patriot Act, the  
treatment of newly created “enemy combatants,” and the Military  
Commissions Act, among other events and laws, were thought to put us  
in a “state of exception” or an emergency situation in which we had to  
surrender some of our rights in exchange for security.



Join us at Hampshire College as we explore these claims these seven  
years later.  What is the fate of detainees in Guantanamo Bay  
Detention Center? Are Muslim men and women still the focus of the  
American war on terror? Are all persons vulnerable to arrest under  
American law? How can we identify some of the political dynamics and  
divisions that pit some groups against others? What can we do to  
resist the criminalization of folks across the world?
