This past Friday, the LISD Gender and Security Group had the privilege of hosting Dr. Heather Ann Thompson for an incredibly thought-provoking discussion on mass incarceration, historical justice, and the lasting impact of the Attica Prison Uprising. A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of?Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy, Dr. Thompson shared invaluable insights into the intersections of gender, race, and carceral systems—challenging us to rethink the narratives shaping justice and accountability today. A huge thank you to everyone who joined, engaged, and contributed to such a rich conversation. Dr. Thompson’s work has had a profound influence on scholarship and policy, demonstrating how historical research can inform contemporary debates and drive meaningful change. This session was a testament to the power of rigorous research in shaping public discourse and advancing policies that humanize incarcerated individuals, challenge punitive frameworks, and contribute to dismantling the carceral state.
