If police don’t keep us safe, who does? Abolition is not only about slavery; it has always been about freedom. In this class, we will explore abolition geographies – radical place-making to create community well-being that does not rely on harming others. To understand what this means, we’ll read works by geographers including Ruth W. Gilmore and Laura Pulido, and we’ll learn about abolitionist practice in Seattle and other Coast Salish communities.
