Title talk:

"Organized Abandonment and Organized Violence: Devolution and Police Power"
Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Monday November 2nd @ 5 pm, FPH Main Lecture Hall, 
Hampshire College

Description:

As police killings and misconduct emblazon newspapers' front pages and 
social media, and a flurry of reports and proposed reforms suggest that 
outrage will converge in action for change, this lecture contextualizes 
the current crisis. Is so-called community policing the solution to 
police violence? This lecture explores continuities and changes in 
modern police practice, by historicizing a Los Angeles case study and 
theorizing the form and substance of institutional change.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore is Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, 
and Director of the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics, at the 
Graduate Center, City University of New York.
