Abstract: The political theories and activism of George Jackson, Angela Davis, and Michel Foucault shaped abolitionist critiques of policing and mass incarceration in the 20th century and the popularization of prison/police abolitionism in the 21st century. This talk explores their ideological spectrum of abolitionism, filtered through academia and advocacy democracy, to examine the pragmatic contributions and contradictions of contemporary prison reform and revolutionary politics in the US.
