Dr. Calvin Smiley, Associate Professor of Sociology, Hunter College, City University of New York presents: "Purgatory Citizenship: Reentry, Race and Abolition." The story of reentry after release from incarceration is a complicated journey. People who have been released must navigate and negotiate the reentry process with diminished legal rights and amplified social stigmas. Through interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic observations with people making this transition from confinement, this talk advocates for abolitionist solutions.
