Innocence/Guilt with Daria Reaven

In episode 1 Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan discusses the binary of Innocence/Guilt with Daria Reaven. Daria is a Criminal Defense Investigator, prison abolitionist and PhD Candidate at New York University. The discussion looks into how "crime" is constructed as a category, how "innocence" is applied disproportionately to certain bodies, and what the function of believing in a direct opposing dichotomy that all people fit into is. What happens when we think beyond innocence vs guilt?

Every episode writer, poet and activist Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan is joined by a different guest to discuss and deconstruct two seemingly oppositional ideas (innocence/guilt, radical/moderate, secular/religious etc). In doing this we consider if things are really so simple, or if seemingly commonsensical binaries actually hide, obscure and allow for much more complicated political dynamics.
