This graduate seminar will introduce students to carceral studies, an interdisciplinary body of scholarship that takes the late twentieth century expansion of the U.S. prison system as its primary object of analysis. Drawing on a variety of sources - influential older articles and books, a growing literature on the prison system's historical development, and recent examinations of mass incarceration's "collateral consequences" - this course will provide a firm sense of the chronological, political, and institutional development of the U.S. carceral state.
