I have a paper (that is nearly done, I promise) that I’ll be presenting in a few places in the coming months, called “To Kill a Thief: Locke and the Excess of Punishment.” I’ll be presenting it at the the University of Chicago Law School and in the Political Theory Workshop on April 6th and June 6th respectively, and at the MPSA meeting in two weeks here in Chicago.
blackyouth project
I spent three years working for Prof. Cathy Cohen on the University of Chicago Black Youth Project. Prof. Cohen was on Chicago Public Radio this morning talking about our findings. The entire interview is online as an mp3.
Here is a roundup of the print media coverage: Chicago Tribune, Sun Times, AP, USA Today, Reuters.
