Policing the Grocery Store: Crime Panic Narratives and Enclosure in the Wake of Urban Uprisings
US grocery retailers, drawing on faulty data and vague assertions, claim that shoplifting has become an epidemic since 2020 and have been organising to call for more policing. In retail trade publications, grocery industry representatives narrate shoplifting as a direct result of criminal justice reforms that threaten their businesses. In these moments, grocery retailer dependence on systems on policing come out into the open, troubling perceptio…
Skipping meals on campus: College student food insecurity and urban mobility
College students at the City University of New York are highly mobile as they traverse the city from home to school to work and back again. Their mobility has implications for food security. This paper traces the daily food journeys of students at risk of food insecurity at the City University of New York to understand why so many of them are regularly skipping meals on campus. Their everyday food journeys highlight the limitations and insufficie…
Duo-ethnographic Methods: A Feminist Take on Collaborative Research
Duo-ethnography is a collaborative methodology in which participants juxtapose their experiences around a topic to parse multiple perspectives. It explicitly positions ethnographers as sources of information, not data collectors. This method has been used to explore racial identities, class dynamics, decolonizing pedagogies, and gender in academic life. Building on previous work, we consider our contribution to be articulating duo-ethnography as …

Working for food stamps: Economic citizenship and the post-Fordist welfare state in New York City
In the United States, the number of people receiving state-subsidized food aid has risen dramatically since 2001. This increase complicates the well-worn story that the post-Fordist welfare state has been continuously cut back in the neoliberal era, indicating instead that it is expanding to subsidize poor workers' participation in the formal labor market. In New York City, welfare office workers operationalize policies that ease access to food a…
Food and Contemporary Protest Movements
From the worldwide rise in food prices to the harassment of a Tunisian produce vendor whose self-immolation set off the Arab Spring, food has been a key catalyst of the world-transforming protests of 2011. This focus section explores the diverse ways that contemporary movements for social and political change, from the Arab Spring to the Mediterranean Summer to the Occupied Autumn, have drawn on food in framing their transformative practice. Goin…
The Making of Space, Race and Place: New York City's War on Graffiti, 1970-the Present
■ This article examines New York City's war on graffiti from 1970 until the present and the ways in which the city's reaction to the popular youth practice was largely shaped by the neoliberal restructuring process occurring throughout the same period. It explores the racialization and criminalization of the youth who practiced graffiti, and the ways in which this process manifested itself as a contestation over the use of urban space. Finally, i…

La política exterior de una revolución
This article introduces the feminist praxis of duoethnography as a way to examine the COVID era. As a group of diverse, junior, midcareer, and senior feminist scholars, we developed a methodology to critically reflect on our positions in our institutions and social worlds. As a method, duoethnography emphasizes the dialogical intimacy that can form through anthropological work. While autoethnography draws on individual daily lives to make sense o…
