Decolonizing Justice ft. Michaela Mcguire is the fourth and final virtual event from the UBC Social Justice Institute’s speaker panel series on Abolition of Police and Prisons, entitled “Just Futures: Thinking Through Abolition and Transformative Justice”


UBC’s Social Justice Institute’s Graduate Student Association invites you to a panel series on Abolition and Transformative Justice. This series was created to engage with the broader UBC community around anti-Black racism following recent instances of racial profiling on campus, and to consider how UBC must divest from policing and surveillance practices that are rooted in systemic racism. We hope that through this free speaker panel, reading group, and creative dialogue series, we can invite UBC students and faculty as well as communities from so-called Vancouver to learn about Abolition and bring these conversations into our communities so that we can end racial profiling on campus for good.
The event series is free and intends to help the UBC community-at-large gain tools to combat anti-Black racism on campus as we reflect on Canada’s histories of colonialism, surveillance, policing, and incarceration.
Accessibility: ASL interpretation has been booked for this online event, and a transcript can be made available. Please email ubcsocialjusticegsa@gmail.com for more info
