CCR Executive Director Vincent Warren will provide expertise in a plenary session alongside Dr. Cornel West and Pramila Jayapal. Moderated by Daniel HoSang.

"The explosion of the prison industrial complex over the last thirty years has been tied to an equally dramatic transformation in the global economy: the triumph of neoliberalism, with its focus on deregulated markets, disciplined workers, free flow of capital, and austerity budgets.

The panel will explore the intersections of neoliberal political-economic forces, the expansion of prisons and immigration control systems, and the ideas that legitimate increased state control over marginalized communities at home and increased military interventions abroad; the implications of this expansion for the future of democracy and U.S. the democratic project."

What: Capitalism, Neoliberalism & Control Plenary Panel
When: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 3:15-4:45 p.m.
