March 11 – Chet Mitchell Memorial Lecture with Dr. Sameena Mulla
As part of the FPA Research Month, the Department of Law and Legal Studies welcomes Dr. Sameena Mulla as a guest speaker for the Chet Mitchell Memorial Lecture on Wednesday, March 11, 2015.
Dr. Mulla’s lecture, “Of Lemmings, Wolves and Monsters: Sentencing Sex Offenders in the Courtroom Bestiary“, analyzes the rhetorical strategy of characterizing sex offenders as non-human animals, problematizing how these utterances intersect with racializing discourses around black male sexuality.
