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:Media\, Technology\, and Democracy in Historical Context
DESCRIPTION:If you consult recent headlines\, the news media is in crisis\, and the problems are manifold: disruptive changes to media technology\, the spread of misleading news\, and anonymous harassment of public figures are causing serious concerns about the quality and trajectory of our democracy and the place of the news media in it. At the same time\, these phenomena are not new; disruptions\, falsehoods\, and harassment have been topics of public concern at various moments throughout the history of media and democracy. \nHow does the current moment\, dominated by concerns over the rise of social media\, the prevalence of online harassment\, the commercial viability of the print press\, and the loss of local journalism\, compare to previous moments of crisis? Which developments have echoes in the past\, and which concerns are truly novel or unprecedented? \n“Media\, Technology\, and Democracy in Historical Context” is a research workshop directed at scholars in the social sciences and the humanities that encourages historically-informed research on the impact of recent technological changes on media and democracy. \nTopics covered at the workshop will include “Historicizing Mis and Disinformation in the American Press”\, “Partisan Influence on Media Development”\, “Shaping the Public Through Cinema”\, “Race\, Gender\, and Institutional Bias in American Mass Media”\, and “Technological Change and American Political Development.” \nThe original call for proposals may be found here

SUMMARY:Religion and Social Justice Movements in Transatlantic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Given the rise of nationalist and exclusionary movements on both sides of the Atlantic\, which have mobilized against (and racialized) immigrant groups and communities of color\, the symposium brings US- and Europe-focused research more directly into dialogue with regard to scholarship on religious responses to Islamophobia\, the demonizing of migrants\, and the broader attacks on growing racial and religious diversity. This full-day event is arranged around three sessions of relatively informal roundtables\, addressing how religious transformations influence social action; the ways in which social mobilization has changed in the past fifty years and the effects on religious engagement with social justice; and the religious and social movement responses that may hold promise in advancing a more just and democratic future.
