For the last Undersong episode of 2021, Remi Joseph-Salisbury and Katucha Bento discuss the presence and history of the police as well as policing practices in schools. During their conversation, Katucha and Remi touch on how this presence targets children and students of colour disproportionally, the way in which policing ties in with practices of surveillance and the longer history of the prison industrial complex. Together, they think about the potential role of an engaged academic and activist practice in countering such forms of systemic violence.
