Description
This course explores the rate of incarceration in the United States. Although the U.S. makes up only 5% of the world?s population, we hold 25% of the world?s prison population?why? Through challenging readings, including guest speakers, this course will introduce the student to social praxis as a cornerstone for recognizing the need for blending both theory and practice in confronting injustice. Through guided independent and collective study, we can begin to provide an answer as to why so many Americans are in prison in; this awareness will create pathways for action resulting in change.
