Socio Emotional Learning Within Prison Walls: The Effects of GRIP Program (Guiding Rage into Power) as Perceived by Participant and Non Participant Incarcerated Persons
Long‐term imprisonment often results in negative psychological and behavioural effects that hinder effective reintegration into society, exacerbating antisocial behaviour and increasing recidivism rates. In response to a Supreme Court mandate, California, the state with the second‐largest prison population in the United States, embarked on a significant prison downsizing initiative. Designed to help violent offenders develop emotional intelligenc…
Closing the income-achievement gap? Experimental evidence from high-dosage tutoring in Dutch primary education
We present experimental evidence on a high-dosage math tutoring (HDT) program implemented in three primary schools in a low-income neighborhood in the Netherlands. We find treatment effects on math scores of 0.28 national population standard deviations after one school year (p<0.01). These effects can account for 40% of the math achievement gap between low-income and high-income students in the Netherlands. As most of the evidence on intensive tu…
Keeping violent offender rehabilitation on track: How the diffusion and redirecting of attentional focus/mood work in the GRIP program
There is an urgent need to understand how programming inside prisons can facilitate rehabilitation and reentry processes, especially among men convicted of violent offenses. GRIP (Guiding Rage into Power) is a year-long “Offender Accountability” program presently spreading through the California prison system. GRIP is a group-therapy and trauma-healing program that follows a somatic-awareness-centered model. We use audiovisual data to investigate…
Stumbling on the rehabilitation gold? Foucault vs. Foucault in San Quentin and beyond
This article examines GRIP, a rehabilitation program currently spreading through California's state prison system. While most 'violent offenders' come to GRIP hoping to increase chances of parole, this yearlong program with four main components - stopping violence, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, understanding victim impact - is meant to create conditions in which inmates can 'do the work' leading to genuine transformation. A central claim i…
The burden of acting wise: Sanctioned success and ambivalence about hard work at an elite school in the Netherlands
Sam and his classmates despise ‘nerds’: they say working hard in school makes a student unpopular, and that they purposefully do only the minimum to pass. Research suggests that such ‘oppositional’ attitudes are prevalent among working class students and/or ethnoracial minorities. Like most of his classmates, however, Sam is white, hails from a privileged background, and attends a selective school in the Netherlands. Deeply ambivalent about worki…
Beneath rationalization: Elias, Foucault, and the body1
Elias and Foucault ended up making the same core discovery about the same fundamental social process, which we term the 'social constraints towards self-discipline' process. We show how three distinct biographical and intellectual factors were important in guiding them toward this discovery: (1) their shared exposure to philosophical traditions associated with Heidegger's break from Husserl; (2) their common, sustained contact with 'clinical' pra…
Coming Hard: The Primacy of Embodied Stress Responses in High Poverty Schools
Informed by nearly six years of teaching experiences in high poverty schools of New York and Amsterdam, this ethnographic comparison examines the following question: Even though they often say they “know better”, why do so many teens from low income neighborhoods behave in aggressively disruptive ways that contribute to the further destruction of their own schools? This article suggests that the long dominant oppositional black culture approach t…
Exceptional Violence: Embodied Citizenship in Transnational Jamaica
The Integration Matrix Reloaded: From Ethnic Fixations to Established Versus Outsiders Dynamics in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, there is increasingly critical debate about the government's top-down ethnic categorisation procedures and the assumption that analyses of integration should be based on internally homogeneous (and dichotomous) ethno-cultural blocks. While concerns about the ageing approach mount, no unified alternative framework has emerged. Informed by Brubaker's work on ‘groupism’, we provide an account of the currently dominant approach an…
Elias and Bourdieu
The primary goal of this article is to uncover the deep-seated conceptual affinities between Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias. The second goal is to demonstrate that, in part because of their diverging sensitivities, when taken together the two authors' highly compatible approaches yield a vision more fertile than either of their sociological perspectives considered separately. Tracing the intellectual roots of the two author's three core concep…
On comparing a "black" and a "zwarte" school: Towards relevant concepts and illuminating questions
This paper represents some of the first findings from a cross-cultural analysis of student high-school cultures in two countries. The analysis presented here is part of PhD dissertation research being conducted for the University of Amsterdam. We take a close look at the differences and similarities between two schools in seemingly divergent contexts: a high school consisting of mostly African-American students in the Bronx, New York, and a so-ca…
