Rai Reece is an interdisciplinary scholar-activist, whose work broadly examines how carceral processes in Canada are organized and maintained by historical and contemporary narratives of colonial violence. Her work specifically examines the intersection of punishment and misogynoir as legally and socially enacted via governance and settler capitalism. Her work also explores how community-based ethnographic pedagogy can be a tool for social activism.
