In addition to Imagine Day, UBC Sociology is having our Annual Academic Launch, a day full of reunions, Departmental activities, and a talk from our first guest speaker from our Distinguished Speaker Series.
Laurence Ralph presents the Inaugural Racial (In)Justice Lecture at a co-sponsored event by the UBC Department of Anthropology and Sociology. Ralph will present his recently published book, The Torture Letters, which focuses on what it means to be policed in America today, moving from his own experiences with racial profiling as a teenager to the horrific history of police torture in Chicago.
