This talk analyzes the rhetorical strategy of characterizing sex offenders as non-human animals, problematizing how these utterances intersect with racializing discourses around black male sexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><br>\n<\/b><em><b>Dr. Sameena Mulla <\/b>is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Marquette University.
