Global Carceral States . SOC 130C
This course focuses on carceralism—that is, forms of un-freedom—including, but not limited to incarceration. Students learn about four overarching sets of issues: (1) the ways & reasons states confine people (and categories of people) deemed to be dangerous, hostile, or superfluous in prisons, detention facilities, encampments, or enwalled lands; (2) the strategies and technologies developed and used to manage and treat people within carceral settings; (3) ways in which carceralized people resist repressive conditions individually and collectively; and (4) the ways carceral regimes can be challenged. The aim of the class is to study carcerality through multiple scales and perspectives, and to compare carceralism in different settings.

TAKE THIS CLASS! This was my favorite class ive taken at UCSB. Though her lectures and readings were heavy, her lectures are so engaging it is easy to stay on track. Her lecture slides also cover every aspect of the readings so if any part of the reading is confusing, she will cover it. I could not stop talking about the class content. the best.
She was a great professor with so much knowledge. It was so great to take her class and I am so honored to have learned from her. She lectures very well - makes it interesting. A lot of reading but the lectures analyze the readings. Midterm and Final and 2 short papers
She will answer any questions and is not hard to work with. 2 tests 1-2 papers, and she gives plenty of information to write about for papers, so they aren't complicated. My favorite part of how her class is structured is that her lectures cover her readings, so they are clearly spelled out for you. very passionate but kinda dense lectures.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! So passionate, informative, not afraid to give her opinion on global affairs. Great lecture slides with tons of information, posted online so you can use them whenever, but her lectures are so good you need to go. Made the law approachable to a Soc major. I would take any class with her and would give her 50 stars if I could
Prof. Hajjar is very knowledgable however I don't think she can teach well. Lectures are extremely, extremely dense (usually 30 slides a day packed with words) and she speaks very quickly. Gradebook was literally the midterm, final, and one paper, and no review guide for the exams. Just praying the TA is a reasonable grader.
very good professor
