The Jumpsuit Project. Thursday March 22nd, 7:30 – 9:00pm. Mountains Ballroom in Talley.
What does an orange jumpsuit represent to you? Join the Sociology Graduate Student Association for a special presentation of The Jumpsuit Project, where Sherrill Roland turns his wrongful conviction into a social justice project about the intersection of race, gender, and crime. Roland situates race as a social construct within our historical and political context, confronting the role it plays in the criminal justice system. Following Ta-Nehisi Coates in Between the World and Me, The Jumpsuit Project combines a personal story and its social context for a powerful experience.
