Coercion and Care: Unpacking Psychiatry's Legal Legacy

Liat Ben-Moshe, Sasha Warren, and Leah Harris discuss the political economy of psychiatric incarceration and strategies for resisting surveillance and carcerality that center liberatory care and international solidarities. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September, under the session title "Care Not Courts: Resisting Carceral Psychiatry and the Pathologization of Dissent." This panel was the rare exception where a DP member was not able to chair the session, so our thanks to Eman Abdelhadi who graciously stepped in as moderator.
