More about Benjamin
Future plans:
This fall, I will be attending the University of Chicago to complete my MA in Sociology. After completing my master's, I hope to continue my graduate training in sociology. So I can engage in scholarship and teaching centered on reclaiming the epistemic possibilities of alternative and solidarity economies beyond carcerality and enclosure.
