Emergent Research: Women's Incarceration

Carol Jacobsen will speak about "Women's Incarceration: Research and Creative Resistance." She will discuss her research, teaching and advocacy methods in connection with efforts to free incarcerated women who were wrongly convicted for killing abusers in self-defense as well as efforts for human rights for all women in prison.

Jacobsen is an artist/filmmaker and professor in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, Women's Studies and Human Rights at U-M. She serves as Director of the Michigan Women's Justice & Clemency Project.

Open to the public; light refreshments.
