The full schedule for the University of Memphis Philosophy Graduate Student Association conference, “Beyond Bars: The Future of Prisons” is now online. I’m honored to be giving the opening keynote at Friday the 27th at 5pm.
Punishment and Inclusion now available in ebook version
You can now purchase Punishment and Inclusion as an ebook; available in Kindle and ePub formats (from a variety of online retailers). I’d suggest buying it through an independent bookstore, if at all possible, such as Skylight Books in Los Angeles or the Seminary Co-op in Chicago.
Talk at the New School, Feb. 19
Details on the previously announced talk at the New School for Social Research are now available. I’m being hosted by the wonderful folks in the Politics Department as part of their spring speaker series. I’ll be talking about my book on Feb. 19, 2015, at 6pm. Details on their full series is attached!
East Coast! Talks in Philly and New York, Feb. 17 and 19
I will be making a short swing through the east coast this month, giving talks at La Salle University in Philadelphia on Feb. 17 (see attached flyer for details) and at the New School in NYC on Feb. 19 (details TBA). I’ll be talking about my book, Punishment and Inclusion, at both events, and hope folks come out to talk about felon voting rights and prison abolition. 
listed: P&I is 5th best critical theory book of 2014
What I’m most pleased about seeing my book land in this of the top 5 best critical theory books of 2014 is the company with which it keeps: Audra Simpson, Glen Coulthard, Sara Ahmed… a pretty incredible set of folks. And, it’s a real joy to see a “critical theory” list made up almost entirely of scholars of color doing radical theory. That is to say, this list isn’t made up of the usual suspects.
talks coming up in spring 2015, Memphis PGSA conference keynote
I’ve added a page to keep track of upcoming talks and lectures that I will be giving. Most of them this spring will be related to Punishment and Inclusion, but I’ll be presenting some new work as well at a few places. In particular, I’m really excited to be giving the keynote address at the University of Memphis Philosophy Graduate Student Association Conference, Beyond Bars: The Future of Prisons in February. It’s an honor to be invited and a true privilege to get a chance to talk with a bunch of very smart students and faculty there.
Punishment and Inclusion, three months later
It’s been a few months since Punishment and Inclusion: Race, Membership, and the Limits of American Liberalism was released by Fordham University Press, and it’s been amazing to hear responses and see copies showing up in the hands of folks out there in the world. I’ll be giving a bunch of talks in the near future about the book (as well as about some new projects that I’ve been working on), but in the meantime, you can follow updates at the Punishment and Inclusion page on facebook, download a copy of the preface and first chapter to read, and (obviously) pick yourself up a copy to read by the fireplace this winter. Thank you again to everyone that made this possible!

punishment and inclusion on facebook!
In a move that can only be described as (somewhat) shameless self-promotion, I have started a facebook page for Punishment and Inclusion: Race, Membership, and the Limits of American Liberalism. Head over there to “like” it and follow updates leading up its Sept. 15 publication date!
Punishment and Inclusion now available for pre-order!
