SUMMARY:The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Critical Race Studies at UCLA School of Law\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 2\, 2021 \nTIME: 12:15 PM – 1:30 PM \nLOCATION: Online/Zoom \nEvent Details | RSVP for Zoom link \nAya Gruber\, author and Professor of Law at the University of Colorado Law School\, and Jennifer M. Chacón\, Professor of Law and CRS core faculty member at UCLA Law School\, will be discussing Gruber’s new book\, The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration. \nAbout the book: Many feminists grapple with the problem of hyper-incarceration in the United States\, yet commentators on gender crime continue to assert that criminal law is not tough enough. This punitive impulse\, prominent legal scholar Aya Gruber argues\, is dangerous and counterproductive. In their quest to secure women’s protection from domestic violence and rape\, American feminists have become soldiers in the war on crime by emphasizing white female victimhood\, expanding the power of police and prosecutors\, touting the problem-solving power of incarceration\, and diverting resources toward law enforcement and away from marginalized communities. Deploying vivid cases and unflinching analysis\, Gruber documents the failure of the state to combat sexual and domestic violence through law and punishment. Zero-tolerance anti-violence law and policy tend to make women less safe and more fragile. Mandatory arrests\, no-drop prosecutions\, forced separation\, and incarceration embroil poor women of color in a criminal justice system that is historically hostile to them. This carceral approach exacerbates social inequalities by diverting more power and resources toward a fundamentally flawed criminal justice system\, further harming victims\, perpetrators\, and communities alike. In order to reverse this troubling course\, Gruber contends that we must abandon the conventional feminist wisdom\, fight violence against women without reinforcing the American prison state\, and use criminalization as a technique of last—not first—resort.

SUMMARY:Imagining the Political: Vernacular Idioms of Sexuality in India
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of Asian American Studies and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center\nDate: Tuesday\, March 2\, 2021\nTime: 6:00 – 7:15 PM\nLocation: Online/Zoom (RSVP) \nProfessor Navaneetha Mokkil will discuss her new book\, Unruly Figures\, which navigates the pulsating links between subjectivity\, political activism and the world-making capacity of cultural practices in a non-metropolitan region in India. It focuses on the non-linear figurations of the sex worker and the lesbian in Kerala\, a state in Southern India\, and the fractured processes of staging the politics of sexuality. The book moves back and forth from the post-1990s to the pre-1990s interlinking different forms\, texts\, genres and events in order to show how sexual subjects are not finished portraits\, nor silenced bodies eager to claim visibility and recognition. Rather\, the transactions between the subject and the figure point to the breaks in the conception of a cohesive\, visible and agential political actor. \nNavaneetha Mokkil teaches at the Center for Women’s Studies\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, Delhi. She is currently Charles Wallace India Trust Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
