Step 2: Register for “The Criminalization of Student Protest” here.

This workshop turns to the history of the targeting of civilian populations in 20th century wars as a means of deterrence and subjugation. Historically, student protests have been ways to acknowledge and decry modern war’s pursuit of those populations. We will discuss how the criminalization of student protests has been a response to that acknowledgment and denunciation.
