Discussion | Experts Discuss the Concept of Innocence During Times of Authoritarianism
A conversation between Miriam Ticktin, Serene Khader, and Camille Robcis, drawing on Miriam Ticktin's new book, Against Innocence: Undoing and Remaking the World. In this timely and bold book, Miriam Ticktin explores how a concept that consistently appears as a moral good actually ends up creating harm for so many. Claims to innocence protect migrant children, but often at the expense of their parents; claims to the innocence of the fetus work to punish women. Ticktin shows how innocence structures political relationships, focusing on individual victims and saviors, while foreclosing forms of collective responsibility. Ultimately, she wants to understand how the discourse around innocence functions, what gives it such power, and why we are so compelled by it, while showing that alternative political forms already exist. She examines this process across various domains, from migration, science, and environmentalism to racial and reproductive justice.

Sayles has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and once for the National Book Award.
