"Abolition Ecology: Lessons from Studying Prison Agriculture in the United States"

In this talk, Dr. Chennault will discuss how abolition informs her research, teaching, and community engagement, including the study of prison agriculture within the United States. Understanding abolition ecology as simultaneously demanding a refusal of carceral logics and a building of racially just, life-affirming relationships with land, air, water, and one another, Dr. Chennault will examine the challenges and opportunities for land-grant universities to support this work.

Dr. Carrie Chennault is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology and Geography at CSU and co-director of the Prison Agriculture Lab.
