Description
Our 2019-2020 Annual Review highlights the fifth year in our project on human rights, social justice, and inequality, particularly but not only in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing calls to action by the movement for Black Lives. It outlines a number of events and collaborations that called for our sustained and deeper engagement with inequalities at every level: from our annual conference, "Prison Abolition, Human Rights, and Penal Reform," and our research project on essential work(ers) and COVID-19 “hotspots,” to our workshops on distribution, racial capitalism, and world-system theory, and our advocacy in partnership with Afro-Brazilian communities.
