From Inclusive Research to Inclusive Evaluation
This article explores how people with intellectual disabilities can be more involved in evaluating and regulating the services they use and the quality of their lives. Traditionally, these evaluations have been performed by professionals, but we argue that people with lived experience of intellectual disabilities bring unique insights and should be part of the process. The idea builds on ‘inclusive research’, where people with intellectual disabi…
The Role of Trust, Respect, and Relationships in Maintaining Lived Experience and Indigenous Authority in Co-Designed Research with People Living with Disability
Co-design of research can evolve organically when the questions to be asked have their roots deep1 in the soil of partnerships based on trust, respect, and a common vision for equity and inclusion. White Questions—Black Answers, a PhD thesis research project focusing on the inclusion of Indigenous students with disability in the Australian Higher Education Sector, demonstrates this premise. Founded on Indigenous Standpoint Theory, the methodology…

Wild Colonial Boy
This article examines the sensational 1942–43 trial of Hollywood’s leading man, Australian actor Errol Flynn. One purpose of this article is to track the trial’s course and social reverberations offering valuable insights into a critical historical precedent to the recent #MeToo movement. The article’s other purpose is to place the trial story, centred in America’s ‘film colony’ of Hollywood, in the context of Flynn’s backstory in Australia’s col…
Introduction to Special Topic on Anticarceral Feminisms
Tautai
Biography, Barbara Caine suggests, has much to offer history. It can give us ‘insight [...] into the lives and thought of significant individuals’ or those of ‘less-exalted and ordinary people’.It can also illuminate ‘the ways in which particular institutions and events and larger-scale social, economic and political developments were felt, understood and experienced by those who lived through them’.1 These benefits are true of Indigenous and non…
Domestic Violence, Human Rights, and Postcolonial Intersectionality of Afro-descendent and Indigenous Women in Cuba and Guatemala
Bridging the Pacific
Illuminating unexplored dimensions of the Sāmoan interwar nationalist movement known as the Mau, this article tells the story of Australians who impacted the history of Indigenous protest in the League of Nations Mandated Territory of Western Samoa ruled by New Zealand. This is a story that bridges Pacific, colonial and Indigenous worlds with the Sāmoan nationalist leader, Ta’isi O.F. Nelson, located at its epicentre. As well as shedding light on…
A Feminist Call for Transforming the Criminal Justice System
In the past 30 years, the number of incarcerated women in the United States has increased at a faster rate than that of men. This article outlines the ideologies and mechanisms of the “Prison Nation” and calls on social workers to conceptualize the effects of mass incarceration of women as an urgent social justice issue. We call for feminist social workers to adopt an anti-oppressive orientation to justice-involved women, build social work respon…
Feminist Transformation Deconstructing Prisons and Reconstructing Justice With Criminalized Women
The prison therefore functions ideologically as an abstract site into which undesirables are deposited, relieving us of the responsibility of thinking about the real issues afflicting those communities from which prisoners are drawn in such disproportionate numbers. This is the ideological work that the prison performs; it relieves us of the responsibility of seriously engaging with the problems of our society, especially those produced by racism…
Ta‘isi O.F. Nelson and Sir Maui Pomare Samoans and Māori Reunited
This paper unearths the friendship between Samoan nationalist leader Ta‘isi Olaf Frederick Nelson and Māori politician Sir Maui Pomare during the early period of New Zealand's administration of Samoa. It examines the role this friendship played – especially as a line of communication between the Samoan protest movement or Mau, of which Nelson was a leader, and the highest echelons of the New Zealand government – in those years of fraught relation…
Reactions to Australian Colonial Violence in New Guinea
On 1 November 1926 an Australian-led force left Rabaul bent on justice. This punitive expedition was in response to the recent killing of four Australian men in the Nakanai district of New Britain seventy miles from Rabaul. Called the Nakanai massacre, it was the bloodiest attack on whites in New Guinea for twenty years. This article explores the Nakanai massacre and examines the revealing responses to it. It argues that the Nakanai massacre gene…
University of Illinois at Chicago’s Interdisciplinary Center for Research on Violence
This article describes an interdisciplinary center at the University of Illinois at Chicago focused on collaborative research on violence. Our center is unique in its emphasis on developing infrastructure and distinctive processes for overcoming obstacles to interdisciplinary research; the involvement of outside policy makers, advocates, and service providers in jointly discussing and developing research proposals; the breadth of commitments from…
Being Unsettled as a Space of Possibility
“Unsettling Feminism(s): Disrupting the Center, Dismantling Oppressions, Transforming Social Work” took place on May 22–24, 2011 in the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Three participants in the “unconference” reflect on how the conference realized its intent of “unsettling” current thinking and expanding the possibility for transformative and emancipator action. While the unconference provided space for a generative dialogue amon…
The Effects of Violence Acuity and Door to Service
Despite recent gains in understanding the links between intimate partner violence and substance abuse by women, the service issues related to these cooccurring problems are relatively unexplored. This study addresses 3 practice-related questions critical to the provision of services in coordinated or integrated substance abuse and intimate partner violence programs: (a) Are different “doors” to service associated with different outcomes? (b) Does…

Remaking Australia's Colonial Culture
This article explores imperial Australia and its Papuan colony from 1901 to World War II. Through exploring shifts in imperial doctrine it examines the polemics that Australian governments and colonial officials faced in governing the colony of Papua from 1906 to 1940, and shows how and why Australian colonial practice in Papua altered. This article also explains how understandings of race, the philosophy of ‘protection’ and British imperial theo…
Effects of Coordinated Services for Drug-Abusing Women Who Are Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
This article summarizes outcomes from a demonstration project on collaboration between substance abuse and domestic violence agencies. Researchers recruited women seeking services for substance abuse or intimate partner violence at 1 of 6 participating agencies. Admitted women were both victims of domestic violence and abusing alcohol or drugs. Following an initial screening, participants were interviewed at program entry (n = 255) and again 4 to…
Moving from Needs to Self-Efficacy
One hundred women participated in a needs assessment and goal-planning process at a community-based agency soon after release from prison. The assessment indicated some fit between women's identified needs and how they placed themselves on "contemplation" ladders that facilitated their planning for reentry. Follow-up interviews with 14 women found a high level of satisfaction with the process, though they struggled with unmet goals. Participants …

Maximizing Success for Drug-Affected Women After Release from Prison
This paper describes the characteristics related to women's drug-use, criminal offending and incarceration and examines the policy and community contexts that shape their reentry after release from prison or jail. A qualitative study of formerly detained or incarcerated drug-affected women describes identified needs for services and employment as well as the challenges related to a disempowering environment

From Surviving to Thriving
Interviews with 12 African American women who were long-term residents of a public housing complex and were engaged in tenant management activities found that obstacles in the complex reinforced their resilience and that their roles as mothers and their adherence to spiritual beliefs gave their lives meaning.

Crime and Punishment as Historical Problem
The criminal produces not only crimes but also criminal law, and with it, the professor who gives lectures on criminal law, and in addition to this, the inevitable compendium in which the professor throws his lectures on the general market as “commodities.” This brings with it the augmentation of the national wealth, quite apart from the personal enjoyment which ... the manuscript of the compendium brings to the originator himself.1

L'Embastillement de Paris
In November 1830 the four-month-old government of Louis-Philippe initiated the costly and extremely controversial project of converting its capital into a fortified city. By 1844 Paris was encircled by a continuous wall approximately twenty-four miles long with seventeen detached forts spaced along the defended perimeter.2 The fortifications were built outside of the city on the site of what is now the Boulevard Peripherique, the busy expressway …

The Promise of Punishment
The study of asylums and prisons in which society encloses its deviants, traditional preserve of sociologists and psychologists, has recently been encroached upon by philosophers and historians. O'Brien's work is a significant contribution to growing fund of historical literature on origins of penal institutions. Her extensive research is based on archival records of French prisons, statutes and published records, writings of both prisoners and r…

Institutions of Confinement
A major interdisciplinary study of the development of prisons, hospitals and insane asylums in America and Europe, this book resulted from discussions between its two editors about their work on the history of hospitals, poor relief, deviance, and crime, and a subsequent conference held in 1992 by the German Historical Institute that attempted to assess the impacts of Foucault and Elias. Seventeen contributors from six different countries with ba…

Making It in the Free World
Claiming Our Soul
This article describes an “empowerment” group that was managed by mostly African-American women inmates at a prison facility in conjunction with a non-inmate “outside” sponsor and the ways in which the women used the group to address issues of loss of identity and role, grief, cultural and community isolation, spirituality, and recovery from addiction. Implications for social work practice are discussed
