Join the University of Washington Bothell Labor Studies Colloquium for an engagement with Carl Suddler, author of "Presumed Criminal: Black Youth and the Justice System in Postwar New York" for a talk on "Policing Black Youth Through the War on Crime".

Register to attend "Policing Black Youth Through the War on Crime".

Dr. Carl Suddler is an Assistant Professor of History at Emory University and the author of Presumed Criminal: Black Youth and the Justice System in Postwar New York. Suddler is an African American historian whose research interests lie at the intersections of youth, race, and crime. Suddler’s scholarship is committed to developing better understandings of the consequences of inequity in the United States. His research and teaching interests are related to twentieth-century U.S. history, African American urban history, histories of crime and punishment, the carceral state, sport history, and histories of childhood and youth.

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.
