Join Gloria Negrete-Lopez, assistant professor of women's and gender studies, as she presents “Deconstructing Narratives of Criminalization Through Art and Art-Making” from 6-7 p.m. Tuesday (Oct. 10) on Zoom.
Negrete-Lopez will discuss how the United States has increasingly relied on criminalization to justify policing and imprisonment to solve societal problems, as well as how marginalized groups are constructed as “criminal” through stereotypes. Finally, she will cover how art and creative expressions can be used as tools to deconstruct these harmful narratives.
