Mass criminalization is one of the most pressing social justice issues of the 21st century. The policing and imprisonment of people of color has become a central component of struggles over racism and inequality in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and across the nation.

The Transforming Justice project uses collaborative workshops and video production to center the perspectives and analyses of young people from marginalized neighborhoods in Milwaukee. Documenting these experiences reveals the harms of mass incarceration often missing from public debate as well as collective visions for freedom and justice.

The Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture is the longest-running lecture series at UWM.

This lecture is free and open to the public. Accommodations for people with disabilities can be made if requested ahead of time by calling 414-229-6202.
