| Description | Join the University of Washington Bothell Labor Studies Colloquium for an engagement with Oloth Insyxiengmay on "Correctional Industries: Punishment and Profit in Washington Prisons". Register to attend "Correctional Industries: Punishment and Profit in Washington Prisons". Oloth Insyxiengmay is the son of a single, first-generation immigrant mother from Laos. Oloth grew up in Tacoma and at the age of 15 was sentenced to 74 years in prison. He served 24 years, during which time he helped to form the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Awareness Group at Clallam Bay prison. Since his release, Oloth has continued his advocacy work as a community organizer and a student at UW Seattle.
This event will be taking place on Zoom and is part of Labor in Times of Crises, a year of online talks investigating and exploring the exacerbated, economic fault lines for working class lives in times of crisis. Each meeting will feature a talk by a visiting scholar and/or artist and discussion, including topics such as the carceral and unresponsive state, alternate and solidarity economies and community storytelling, and will be organized by UWB Labor Colloquium faculty members Dr. Dan Berger, Dr. S. Charusheela, Dr. Joseph Ferrare and Dr. Kari Lerum, coordinated by Dr. Ching-In Chen with assistance from Graduate Assistant Simon Wolf.
This talk is free and open to the public.
