 of long histories of carcerality within the United States. Outside of her 
 academic work\, Lisa is an organizer with Tsuru for Solidarity and the pre
 sident of the Japanese American Citizens League Chicago. These engagements
  help her blur the boundaries of her academic and community work\, so that
  they emerge as deeply interrelated efforts of remembrance and repair.
