Stumbled upon a great panel today @peoplesbooktakoma.com on racism and the prison system with Dr. Kris Marsh of UMD, Dr. Brittany Friedman @curlyprofessor.bsky.social, and Pulitzer Prize winner Toluse Olorunnipa while we were out feeling sad and buying more books to make us feel a little better.

It honestly feels a bit silly to post about research right now. But I refuse to accept the premise that the precious, dreadful, complex stories with which I was entrusted should not be heard. My latest from @sfjournal.bsky.social : academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...
