SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When Crime Pays the Victim: How Victim Policy Shaped the Carceral State
DESCRIPTION:From prisons to policing to the courts\, scholars have documented the far-reaching scope of inequality in the criminal legal system. Yet we have largely missed a critical piece of the story: the social welfare policies ostensibly intended to benefit crime victims. Existing accounts treat victims’ relationship to punishment as rhetorical\, a story of ideology or movement mobilization. My book-in-progress\, a case study of the history and implementation of victim compensation law\, shows how resources for victims are structurally tied to punishment\, as well. Liberal Democrats in the 1960s proposed victim compensation to offset their weaknesses in crime politics\, but conservatives objected to a new social program funded by “taxpayer” money. The solution\, discovered largely by accident in California\, was to finance compensation through mandatory criminal fines—making resources for victims dependent on more criminal convictions. After determining who would pay for victim benefits\, lawmakers decided whose victimization would pay. Compensation was limited to victims who reported crimes\, cooperated with police\, and were not “criminals” themselves—criteria that also penalize survivors of domestic violence. Today\, victims of color\, especially Black men\, are most likely to be denied compensation because the police perceive them as uncooperative or to blame for their victimization. The result is racially regressive redistribution: people of color disproportionately fund victim benefits through criminal fines and are more likely to be denied the benefit because they are perceived as “criminals.” I make the case for placing victim policy alongside prisons and police\, with implications for how we understand inequality\, the state\, and the political economy of punishment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Practical to the Philosophical
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will address time management strategies\, and effective habits and motivation for early graduate school success.\n\nTime management and productivity may not seem like an exciting topic\, but harnessing concrete tactics and strategies for how to maintain autonomy and agency over your own schedule is a crucial skill in graduate school. You will find yourself juggling multiple\, and often competing\, priorities– and many of them have to do with writing… lots\, and lots of writing! This 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop will address time management strategies across scales (from pomodoros to physical planners to semester and year-long planning)\, as well as considerations regarding habits and motivation. The earlier you find what works for you\, the more you can tailor your schedule to fit your life instead of the other way around!
