SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2019: Feminists Confronting the Carceral State
DESCRIPTION:\nFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2019\nUCLA LUSKIN CONFERENCE CENTER\nGENERAL REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! REGISTER ONLINE\nCONFERENCE OVERVIEW\nDETAILED SCHEDULE\nThinking Gender 2019 will focus on gendered regimes of incarceration, and feminist, queer, abolitionist, and intersectional interventions.\nThe US justice system is a site of widespread gendered and race-based violence.  The U.S. currently incarcerates nearly a third of all female prisoners in the world, and between 1977 and 2004, the number of women in U.S. prisons increased by an unprecedented 757%. As a 2015 CSW co-sponsored report revealed, women suffering from mental illness in LA County jails are routinely denied treatment, medication, and reproductive hygiene products, and are disproportionately punished with solitary confinement. LGBTQ women are also disproportionately impacted: nearly 40% of incarcerated girls identify as LGBTQ, while nearly one in six transgender Americans, and one in two black transgender people, have been to prison.\nEmerging student scholars and activists will reckon with these issues through feminist and queer perspectives.\nMore information: https://csw.ucla.edu/event/thinking-gender-2019-feminists-confronting-the-carceral-state/\nHosted by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women.\nCO-SPONSORED BY:\n\nBacked by Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion\nUCLA Luskin Endowment for Thought Leadership\nUCLA Interdisciplinary & Cross Campus Affairs (ICCA)\nUCLA Graduate Division\nUCLA Division of Humanities\nPolitical Theology Network\nUCLA Department of African American Studies\nUCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs\nUCLA American Indian Studies Center\nUCLA Black Male Institute\nInstitute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin\nUCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment\nUCLA Department of Philosophy\nUCLA Department of Social Welfare\nUCLA Ralph J.
