Presented by the MultiCultural Center, the Department of Sociology, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Tuesday, Feb. 25 / 4PM MultiCultural Center Theater Affiliated with the "Executing Justice" Series Marc Mauer is one of the leading authorities on racism in the criminal justice system. In speeches, research publications, congressional testimony, organizing, and lobbying Mauer has worked tirelessly to expose racism in all aspects of the system. He is also active in challenging felony disenfranchisement -- the denial of the right to vote for ex-felons -- and other negative social consequences of imprisonment. Mauer will explore the social and political forces that have led to the unprecedented explosion in the prison population over the past 30 years, and will examine the impact of these developments on crime, community, and race relations.
