In this CoDE lunchtime seminar, Margarita Aragon from the University of London shares her research.
In this paper, I will explore the incarceration of those perceived to be intellectually disabled in the early 20th century as an important practice in the making of race and class in Britain. This context helps illuminate the inextricable imbrication of racism and ableism that has fundamentally shaped disciplinary institutions in the UK and beyond. I will ask how the surveillance and confinement of disabled people in the early 20th century has shaped today’s racialized carceral landscapes.
