A Post-Policing Interview with Dr. Desmond Goss
Hello! Who is a criminal? Is utopia possible? What do postmodernism and intersectionality have in common? We interview sociology professor Dr. Desmond Goss to discuss these questions and more. Let's further unpack, aloud, what a post-police society would look like and discover why abolishing the police is simply one link in the chain. Much love and thanks to all our friends and listeners!
