DESCRIPTION:“Genealogies of Accountability”/ Cameron Rasmussen, Assistant Professor, Thompson School of Social Work and Public Health\n/ How one makes sense of, derives meaning from and ultimately practices accountability is informed by the paradigms and genealogies from which this concept emerges. Of the many sources and uses of accountability, this talk will explore how restorative and transformative justice, as well as prison abolition, shapes our understanding of accountability. The centering of accountability by these three interrelated paradigms invites an analysis and interrogation of how we might advance efforts for justice beyond criminalization, punishment and incarceration. In addition to tracing the history and key elements of RJ, TJ and abolition, this talk will explore what it means to approach accountability through the lens of genealogy and how such a perspective might influence approaches to interpersonal and structural harm. Finally, this talk will clarify the distinction between the pathways to accountability for interpersonal harm and violence as opposed to those for structural harm and state violence. / Cameron W.
