Intersectional Learning: How Black and Latinx Boys Learn About Power and Difference
With limited studies on how Black and non-Black Latinx boys come to learn about difference and power, this study asks, what are the learning contexts and programming that facilitate a recognition of power and difference? Specifically, I examine the complex ways in which boys learn about intersectionality in a community-based educational space in Los Angeles County. Relying on data collected during four years of participant observations, I find th…
Safety” and “Protection” as Shared Grievances and Oblique Identification in Educational Organizations
How are carcerality and antiblackness embedded in educational organizations? Racial upheaval in 2020 started conversations and created opportunities to understand how carcerality and antiblackness are entangled. This article draws on participant observations from two large research projects in California—one in an urban context and the other in an agricultural landscape—to provide a symptomatic reading of responses to demands to defund school pol…
Feeling Carcerality: How Carceral Seepage Shapes Racialized Emotions
This article examines how young people experience policing and reveals the emotional weight of the carceral state. Drawing on interviews and focus groups with over forty Black and non-Black Latinx young men in Los Angeles County, I argue that the racialized emotions the young men allude to do not stem from one individual encounter with the police or any single identifiable source. Instead, they are responses to the ongoing violence of what I desc…
Allied Attestations: Troubling a Progressive Goodwill and ‘Duty to Speak Out’
Increasingly fraught disputes over education have elevated local school boards as key sites of inquiry. In this critical ethnography, we examine how ostensibly neutral school board rules, routines, and relations play out in practice. We asked, How do (queer) youth of color proponents, white opponents, and white allies of an anti-oppressive educational program exercise their agency within the organizational contexts of one suburban California scho…
Toward a Du Boisian paradigm of family science
We offer an invitation to the Du Boisian paradigm for family science . We outline this paradigm in relation to Guba and Lincoln's ontological, epistemological, and methodological questions and our addition of the phenomenological question. A Du Boisian paradigm meets the need for a social justice orientation in social science scholarship, which is equipped to identify, contextualize, and respond to oppression across the globe. A social justice or…
Towards Community Rooted Research and Praxis: Reflections on the BSS Safety and Youth Justice Project
This article focuses on the Brothers, Sons, Selves (BSS) Safety and Youth Justice project to describe what we refer to as a Community Rooted and Research Praxis (CRRP) approach. BSS is an organizing coalition for boys, young men, and masculine-identifying youth of color that works to decriminalize communities of color. In 2018, BSS developed a survey to capture how safety and justice is experienced by youth of color across multiple contexts and i…
In Millennial Footsteps: California Social Movement Organizations for Generation Z
This article highlights main themes that emerged from our panel featuring youth organizers and scholars of youth social movements in California. We focus on how organizations uplift youth leadership, foster queer inclusivity, build across racial difference, and cultivate 'beloved community,' a concept popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our organizations address the root causes of inequities that threaten low-income communities of color, wh…
Finding home’: Campus racial microclimates and academic homeplaces at a Hispanic-Serving Institution
Students do not uniformly feel welcome in university environments, and their experiences vary across race. Drawing on 19 interviews with Black and Latino men at a Hispanic-Serving Institution, this study demonstrates that participants perceive the campus racial climate at the organizational level differently. However, perceptions and experiences in microclimates converge and are informed by the lack of Black and Latinx faculty, the underrepresent…
