Zoom Event

Co-Sponsored by Columbia ILAS and Columbia CSER. Police violence across Latin America is sparking political mobilization, protest and debate that echoes similar dynamics in the United States. A core concern across these settings is the racialized character of policing. This webinar will bring together leading scholars to reflect and discuss the intersection between race and policing in the Americas. Speakers will offer critical analyses of the political drivers and consequences of racialized policing as well as comparisons that will situate this phenomenon in broader political contexts.
