Hosted by the Global Arts + Humanities Society of Fellows


Liat Ben-Moshe is an associate professor of criminology, law and justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Building on her book, Decarcerating Disability: Deinstitutionalization and Prison Abolition (2020), Ben-Moshe will show how abolition is not an unattainable goal but rather a reality, and how it plays out in different arenas of incarceration — antipsychiatry, the field of intellectual disabilities and the fight against the prison-industrial complex. Following her presentation, Ben-Moshe will facilitate discussion around key terms, concepts and practices.
