Details
Abolitionist geographer Ruth Wilson Gilmore (2022) offers us two poignant questions: 1. How do we find the place of freedom? 2. More precisely, how do we make such a place repeatedly? Throughout the semester, students in Dr. Guess’s Freedom is a Place seminar and Dr. Simone’s Abolition Geographies course, have meditated on the above questions and which they have applied to their own research. In this symposium students will finally present their collaborative projects that capture geographic struggles of our present. The aim of the symposium is to develop an opportunity for students to contribute to the burgeoning field of abolition geographies and to form more intellectually creative and active networks that nurture abolition.
