Legal Contradictions: Identifying Iterations of Us versus Them

The Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto, invites graduate students from across the country to attend the 2023 Graduate Student Conference on September 22 – 23, 2023. This year’s theme is Legal Contradictions: Identifying Iterations of Us versus Them. The purpose of the conference is to shed a unique light on the letter of the law, engage in conversations about coercive powers of exclusion, and consider the tensions and conflicting messages that exist within our adversarial criminal justice system. The conference is meant to provide attendees with new analytical insights on the contradictions inherent and implied, in both formal and informal laws and customs, as understood from criminological, legal, and sociolegal perspectives. The theme is also centered on the disparate impact that legal, pseudo-legal, and informal practices have on racial, ethnic, and political groups, and which ultimately create ‘us versus them’ dichotomies.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• How does ‘violence,’ broadly construed, both uphold and undermine a democratic society?

• How does the use of ‘violence,’ broadly construed, entrench the practice of othering?

• What is the relationship between othering and colonialism? How is othering informed by colonialism?

• The politics of resistance and belonging

• Consider policing, sousveillance, and surveillance strategies that are deployed in carceral and/or non-carceral settings (i.e., among private citizens in society).

• Punishment in the absence of a formal conviction: pretrial detention; the bail system; the presumption of innocence and the prevalence of guilty pleas; wrongful convictions; the treatment of inmates within the correctional system; etc.

• The reverberating effects and collective impact of incarceration. For example, consider the ways in which families are treated and (in)formally punished by the criminal justice system despite being both factually and legally innocent.

• Conceptions of risk, risk aversion, actuarial justice, and management/managerialism within the criminal justice system.

• (The functions of) race and racism in the criminal justice system.

• Political violence and repression.

Keynote speaker

Dr. Nicole M. Myers is Associate Professor of Criminology in the Department of Sociology at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. She has been studying issues around bail and pre-trial detention for almost two decades. Her work focuses on the bail process, sureties and conditions of release, court culture, organizational risk avoidance, the criminalization of non-criminal behaviour, the administration of justice and criminal law policy. Using a mixed methodological approach, she has conducted over 300 days of bail court observation, reviewed over 500 completed criminal case files and conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with criminal justice professionals, people who have experiences with pre-trial detention and people who have acted as a surety for someone. She has published numerous peer-reviewed academic papers about bail in Canada, prepared reports about bail together with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Legal Aid Ontario and has presented her research at national and international conferences.  She is the Court Node co-lead on a SSHRC Partnership Grant " Intersecting Institutions of Criminal Justice and Injustice" led by Dr. Sandra Bucerius at the University of Alberta.  Her work has been cited by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Zora, 2020, R. v. Myers, 2019, R. v. Penunsi, 2019 and R. v. Antic 2017.

Fireside Chat

The fireside chat will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 pm on Saturday, September 23, 2023, and will be moderated by Dr. Philip Goodman. At this event, graduate student presenters and conference attendees will listen to and learn from scholars in the field of criminology and sociolegal studies as they discuss important matters on legal contradictions and criminal injustice. From 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., we will hear insights from our speakers.

About the 2023 CrimSL Graduate Student Conference Committee

This year’s conference is organized by second-year PhD students of the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto. The committee members are Sara Ali, Camille Hazzard, Joana Jabson, and Jeffrey Wong.

• Sara Ali's research interests include human rights; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and transformative justice.
• Camille Hazzard's research interests include dataveillance, surveillance, and the commodification of data; how humans interact with smart technologies, and the social-psychological, socio-economic, and legal implications of technology use; and how human behaviour is regulated (and influenced by technology) in carceral and non-carceral contexts.
• Joana Jabson's research interests focus on displacement, violence, gentrification, incarceration, and public policy. Joana has been working for the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General for more than five years where she developed a keen interest in understanding gentrification, punishment, crime, and public policy. She aims to understand the intersection of gentrification, crime, recidivism, and housing in her PhD studies.
• Jeffrey Wong is interested in the relationship between religiosity, offending, and protest policing practices. He would also like to explore the intersection between criminology and theology in the public sphere.

Sara, Camille, Joana, and Jeffrey look forward to meeting and learning from you this September!

Towards Decarceration: Abolition and the Carceral State

* This conference did not take place *

Conference date: March 31 to April 1, 2022 — Postponed until further notice

The work of abolition is not confined to policing and prisons; rather, it is about the broader contours of the “carceral state”--the interconnected roles of detention, corrections and law enforcement, as well as the policies, non-governmental institutions (both non-profit and for-profit) and ideologies that ground state investment in policing, punishment and incarceration.

The Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies Graduate Student Conference wants you to experience the common tenets of academic conferences—virtually! Transformative Justice within Academia: A Radical Institutional Reflection is thoughtfully organized to reinvigorate the academic community’s love for deep, thoughtful and creative discussions with colleagues, networking opportunities as well as sustenance in the form of food to keep us going throughout the day.

The aim of this conference is to engage in conversations about structural and systematic inequality, social and racial injustices towards a radical institutional reflection of academia, a place that has long established itself as an exceptional, progressive, critical, and safe environment. As academics focused on institutional violence embedded within the Canadian legal framework, we call for an internal investigation of how similar processes of violence are augmented in academia. Through an application of a radical institutional reflection, the conference papers focus on curriculum, policies & procedures as well as personal experiences of historically marginalized groups in the field of criminology and socio-legal studies. As student researchers who are responsible for shaping the future of the field of criminology and socio-legal studies, this conference serves to imagine critical and radical transformative justice that starts from within the very institution we are all a part of.

Please refer to our conference schedule for more information. This is an open event; everyone is welcome to attend. If you have special accessibility needs, please send us a request 14 days prior to the event. This is to ensure that we are able to provide the requested service. We do not require documentation from doctor etc for request for accommodation.

Academia has long established itself as an exceptional, progressive, critical, and safe environment. However, its policies, bureaucratic processes, research, teaching and mentorship practices are replete with structures that perpetuate inequalities, highlight mental and health implications and continue to disproportionately harm graduate students. As BIPOC students continue to experience structural and interpersonal violence such as hyper policing, carding and police violence on and off-campus, the institution continues to posture around issues of inequality. Politically correct emails sent out by faculty, staff and students do not address inequality, race, racism, police brutality/privatized security/campus police, and colonial violence within academia. This conference promises to begin a conversation about the structures that reproduce inequalities and the punitive state within educational spaces, unevenly impacting BIPOC students. Furthermore, the conference recognizes graduate student researchers as the future of academia and, as such, we aim to collectively imagine critical and radical educational spaces and pedagogies, while collectively contributing to theory-making, as well as drafting practical recommendations and policies targeted at achieving institutional changes that support graduate students.

Consider the following themes and questions:

 

• How do current institutional structures perpetuate inequalities and accentuate vulnerability within academia?
  • Policies/procedures on how to handle ‘difficult’ students
  • Mandated leave policy
  • New marijuana laws and University’s policies on cannabis use
  • Campus police and other surveillance mechanisms that disproportionately impact BIPOC students or students that live with mental health conditions
  • Normalization of students’ poverty, angst, stress, and uncertainty
• What knowledge and ways of knowing are awarded and/or penalized?
• What do transformative justice and non-punitive academia look like? What changes are required to produce it?
• Drawing on critical race studies, prison abolitionists, anti-colonial, decolonizing and postcolonial scholarship, what can a reimagined space of learning look like?

Submission guidelines:

Deadline for submissions: January 15, 2021We welcome abstract submissions from criminology, sociolegal studies, sociology, and related disciplines. Please send an abstract of not more than 200-250 words to crimslsgradconference@gmail.com

 

Include a paper title, your full name, institutional affiliation, your program of study, and email address. Further information about panels, the conference dynamics, and the length of presentations will be sent out at a later date once the program is finalized.

Graduate students are welcome to present ideas that are not fully developed into papers. The conference provides an opportunity for emerging academics to think through transformative justice collectively.

The conference will have a workshop format where participants will be able to further work on their papers. Selected papers will be considered for a collective publication.

Mass mobilizations are often framed as power struggles between governmental institutions and civilian organizations with specific end goals. However, from Indigenous anti-pipeline protests in the Global North to the #MeToo movement, resistance has manifested itself in many distinct shapes and forms. In a time of increasingly growing economic, social, and political inequality, within and across nations, there is a pressing need for change. It is important to diversify current socio-legal narratives surrounding what constitutes power and protest. This conference aims to provide the opportunity for emerging scholars to critically understand, rethink, and re-contextualize mobilization in today’s world.

Revised Schedule

This year’s conference will span over two days, beginning on March 12 with a workshop series.In the MORNING, a Writing Workshop will be organized and facilitated by Dr. Daniel Newman, Director of Graduate Writing Support at the University of Toronto.

Following, in the AFTERNOON, Dr. Akwasi Owusu-Bempah will lead a Professional Development workshop on the topic of Scholars and Social Media.

The University of Toronto’s Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies is pleased to announce its one-day graduate conference entitled Borders and Barriers: Understanding Criminalization and Challenges to Human Rights

Conference date: March 8, 2019 (9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)

Location: Canadiana Gallery (14 Queen’s Park Crescent West, Toronto, ON M5S 3K9)

The simplest way to imagine borders is to think of a territorial divide. However, socio-legal narratives have continuously challenged and broadened our familiar conceptualization of borders and boundaries. They have also come to represent invisible yet concrete barriers that affect different communities, identities, and individuals, particularly those in conflict with the law and those affected by it. This conference provides the opportunity for emerging scholars to critically understand, rethink, and reconcile our common conceptualization of borders. Our goal is to explore not only the human rights barriers they erect through policy and practice, but also their dire consequences on individuals and societies at a global, humanistic level.

We invite you to join the 2018 Annual Graduate Student Conference hosted by the University of Toronto’s Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies. Our school is on territories governed by the Dish With One Spoon Treaty, home to the Anishinaabe, Mississauga, and Haudenosaunee peoples. We are grateful to work and learn on this land.

The conference provides graduate students an opportunity to present their academic research in an interdisciplinary context and network with others doing work on related issues.

With the spread of extreme nationalism and populism across Canada and beyond, disputes over social exclusion, immigration and refugee policies, and shifting modes of regulation have captured public attention. The current political climate has contributed to the further marginalization of subaltern groups, while calls for progressive reform have failed to produce, or meet demands for, substantive change. It is essential, perhaps now more than ever, that we map the current criminological and sociolegal landscape in Canada, to examine how we define and respond to current events, emergent trends in governance, and question if and how individuals and the institutions that regulate the already marginalized are held accountable.
