The League of Women Voters, in partnership with Kellogg-Hubbard Library, is pleased to present the first in its 2020-21Speaker Series on "Policing to Public Safety"

On Wednesday, November 11, Amit Prakash, Visiting Asst. Prof. Of Global Studies and Co-Assist. Director of the First Year Seminar Program at Middlebury College will discuss the militarization of policing in this country and around the world. How did militarized policing become a norm in America?

This talk will go beyond national history and take stock of global forces at work. In so doing, we might think about how foreign affairs and activities in far off lands can have direct effects on our local neighborhoods, towns, and cities. 

Amit Prakash specializes in the history of colonialism, policing, and immigration politics with a focus on France.
