We are very excited to invite you to our upcoming Eighth Annual Critical Race Studies Symposium, Race and Resistance: Against Police Violence, on October 16th and 17th at UCLA School of Law.  Over a day and a half, we will convene academics, advocates and activists from around the country to explore the forms that police violence takes, investigate the causes and consequences of police misconduct, and identify solutions.  Areas to be addressed include juvenile justice and the school to prison pipeline, mass incarceration, the policing of gender, sexuality and gender identity, immigration and national security, and the welfare state.
