Hey everyone, Artie here. This week we're doing something a little bit different than usual.

Earlier this month, we collaborated with the organizers of the Socialism Conference to put

together five sessions at this year's conference on the political economy of health and disability.

We're releasing one of those sessions every day this week, but if you're a patron, you can listen

to each of these sessions right now. They're all live at patreon.com slash death panel pod. So the recording you're listening to is the third

of those sessions called resisting carceral sanism with Beatrice, Liot Ben-Mosey and Leah Harris.

Tomorrow, Thursday, will also be releasing the state, austerity, and the politics of health care

with Phil, Saloni-Bomin, and the politics of health care with Phil,

Saloni-Bomin and Gabe Wynent. Again, each of these recordings is live in the patron feed right now,

if you can't wait for it. I'm going to keep this quick, but for more information on the context

around these recordings, I give a longer introduction in the one we posted on Monday called

Health and Capital. And without further ado, here is our panel on carceral sanism, what it is, and why resisting

carceral sanism is central to our current political struggles and those to come. This session is

being live streamed. So hello to everyone who is listening or watching remotely. My name is Beatrice

Adler-Boltan. I'll briefly introduce myself

momentarily, but first I'm going to begin with the COVID-19 community safety announcements,

and then I will introduce the session and participants. So first, the COVID-19 announcement.

Reminder, all Socialism Conference attendees are required to wear masks,

fully covering the nose and mouth while indoors in conference spaces, including hallways

and meeting rooms. Speakers from the front of the sessions will not be removing their masks

in order to deliver their presentations at this session, and audience members are required

to wear masks even when asking questions
