| Summary: | Toward what does the 'prison abolitionist' identity or identification strive? This thread is organized primarily around Fred Moten and Stefano Harney’s essay, “The University and the Undercommons: Seven Theses.” And we think there is not a better place to begin staging the relation between abolition and that to which we refer as “teaching”, with all the compromised valences such work can carry given the state of the educational system today. Indeed, as if to answer the above question about whether there is something affirmed by prison abolitionism, Moten and Harney seem to answer 'yes', there is something. In this essay, I would like to explore this 'yes' as it emerges in Moten and Harney’s essay, and how it might unfold in how we imagine our engagements with law.
