Reuben Jonathan Miller, an associate professor at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and a research professor at the American Bar Foundation, will present “Mass Incarceration, Voting Rights, and Citizenship” at Boston College on November 13 at 7 p.m. in Gasson Hall 100. Miller is author of the acclaimed book Halfway Home: Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration. As chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and a sociologist studying mass incarceration, Miller has spent years alongside prisoners, formerly incarcerated people, their families, and their friends to understand the lifelong burden that even a single arrest can entail. What his work reveals is a simple, if overlooked truth: life after incarceration is its own form of prison. Halfway Home won the 2022 PROSE Award for Excellence in Social Sciences and was a finalist for the 2022 PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction. Miller is the recipient of a 2022 MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant.” His talk is presented by BC’s Lowell Humanities Series and cosponsored by the PULSE Program for Service Learning, Winston Center for Leadership and Ethics, Forum on Racial Justice in America, and Sociology Department. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
