SUMMARY:Alternatives to Incarceration in Latin America and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Drug laws and the region’s untenable prison crisis are at the center of the drug policy debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The incarceration of low-level drug offenders for exceptionally long sentences has left the region’s prisons bursting at the seams; the impact is not only felt by those incarcerated\, but also by their families and communities. Cutting edge research by the Colectivo de Estudios Drogas y Derecho (Research Consortium on Drugs and the Law\, CEDD) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) sheds new light on the problem and efforts to address it through alternatives to incarceration. \nThe latest investigation carried out by CEDD\, which brings together researchers from 9 Latin American countries\, shows that despite the lively debate taking place across the region\, the number of people incarcerated for drug offenses continues to grow. The SSRC’s Drugs\, Security and Democracy (DSD) Program is carrying out an investigation on drug courts in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research to date offers an analysis and critique of drug courts as a public policy option that is increasingly under consideration by Latin American and Caribbean countries\, and the lessons to be learned from the U.S. experience. The session will conclude with a discussion of other alternatives to incarceration\, including measures taken prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding.

SUMMARY:Confronting Algorithms of Oppression
DESCRIPTION:Safiya Umoja Noble\, Assistant Professor of Communication at the University of Southern California\, gave a public talk on her new book\, Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism\, on Monday\, May 14th at the Roosevelt House at Hunter College. \n \nAlgorithms of Oppression contests the idea that search engines are unbiased marketplaces of ideas. Rather\, Noble argues that search engines reflect the underlying power structures of the societies in which they are built\, and often weaken the voices of historically underrepresented groups. Following Prof. Noble’s talk\, Meredith Broussard\, Assistant Professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute\, New York University and author of Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World\, responded. A book signing and reception followed. \n \nThis event was made possible by funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation\, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation\, and the Democracy Fund.

SUMMARY:SSRC-IFS Workshop: "The Future of Political Parties"
DESCRIPTION:This workshop\, held at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin\, was the third in a series of convenings organized as part of a collaboration between the SSRC’s Anxieties of Democracy program and our namesake European partner program\, Anxieties of Democracy\, at the Swedish Institute for Futures Studies. \nThe workshop explored political parties as an institution\, seeking to assess their current state and explore their future. Topics included changes in the typical left-right cleavages of parties\, the decline of traditional parties\, the rise of populist parties\, and the institutional and social contexts shaping political parties today\, such as personalism\, non-majoritarianism\, and direct democracy. The workshop was generously supported by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
