<p>Professor Glenn Loury (Brown, Ecomonics) will give 2 talks. The first talk, on 4/4/07 is entitled "Ghettos, Prisons and Racial Backlash" and will be an historical, political and sociological study of the role race has played, and continues to play, in the remarkable post-1970 transformation of America's punishment policies. Loury will argue that "backlash" against the "disorder" of the 1960s has become subtly and powerfully "raced."</p>
<p>The second lecture, on 4/5/07, is entitled "Social Identity and the Ethics of Punishment" and will focus on the ethics of punishment in a "divided society" (elaborating a social scientific and an ethical critique of the "politics of personal responsibility" that emerged out of the culture wars of the 1980s).</p>
<p>Discussion seminars: April 5 & 6, 10-12:00, location TBA</p>
