SUMMARY:An Evening with Calvin John Smiley
DESCRIPTION:Housmans are extremely excited to welcome the inimitable scholar\, sociologist and criminologist Dr Calvin John Smiley to the shop to discuss his work. Calvin’s brilliant writing concerns prison abolition\, race\, inequality\, and social justice and these will be the primary themes of discussion on the evening. He will be focusing especially on his two most recent book\, Defund: conversations toward abolition and Purgatory Citizenship: Reentry\, Race and Abolition.   \n\n\n\nCalvin will be joined by Dr Becka Hudson from Birkbeck’s School of Historical Studies. Her work uses history\, anthropology and criminology to look at the interaction between psychiatry and imprisonment. \n\n\n\nThe evening will consist of a discussion which will then be followed by an audience Q&A.  \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \n\n\n\nIf you choose ‘book + event entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95).
