Resisting Carceral Sanism

Liat Ben-Moshe, Leah Harris, and Beatrice Adler-Bolton speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Death Panel. https://www.deathpanel.net An increasing wave of policies and legislation, from Eric Adams’ stance on involuntary hospitalization to Gavin Newsom’s Care Courts, seeks to criminalize madness and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Join scholar Liat Ben-Moshe and writer Leah Harris, along with facilitator Beatrice Adler-Bolton of the Death Panel podcast, for a discussion on why it is so critical for the left to work against these policies, and how to understand the politics of what Ben-Moshe has termed “carceral sanism.” Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
