From CSI to Forensic Files to the celebrated reputation of the FBI crime lab, forensic scientists have long been mythologized in American popular culture as infallible crime solvers. In Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System, Innocence Project attorney M. Chris Fabricant chronicles the fights to overturn wrongful convictions and to end the use of the “science” that has destroyed lives. In Becoming Abolitionists: Police, Protests, and the Pursuit of Freedom, human rights lawyer, writer, and organizer Derecka Purnell argues that the police cannot be reformed. And in By Hands Now Known, Margaret A. Burnham challenges our understanding of the Jim Crow era. Join them Saturday, November 19 @ 2 pm. 📍Room 8301 (Bldg 8, 3rd Floor)
