Moderation & curation: J. Khadijah Abdurahman
How has the adoption of predictive risk modeling tools augmented the surveillance and separation of families in the US child welfare system? What is the connection between the public sector adoption of automated decision systems and the rapid expansion of so-called “prevention services” which function similarly to parole or probation? Why is the abolition of the child welfare system necessary and how is it possible? Legendary scholar or race, medicine and the child welfare system, Dorothy Roberts and abolitionist social worker, Victoria Copeland will discuss these questions alongside the co-curator of this event, J. Khadijah Abdurahman. Part of what this conversation will address is how child welfare is not simply another site of predictive policing requiring policy to mitigate harm, but a central part of the carceral continuum that offers us an opportunity to evolve our methods in approaching critiques of technology and imagining intergenerational repair.
