Event Title
Carceral Interstice: Between Prison and Home
Description
This talk examines Chicago’s Robert Taylor housing projects. In this talk I’ll demonstrate how the project sat at the interstice of home and prison. Carceral power—the practice of policing, surveillance, and contentment that are used to control populations—organized the construction, location, planning, and architecture of the housing project. One of the consequences of this geographic order was the impact it had on the production of subjects.

He is the author of Spatializing Blackness: Architectures of Confinement and Black Masculinity in Chicago. htpp://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/52nwq3by9780252039645.html
