Learning when not to share
This article examines the ethical complexities of research data sharing through Reese's concept of ‘curtains’ and Tuck and Yang's notion of ‘refusal’, with reflexivity serving as the guiding methodology. It explores the tensions between transparency and the protection of intimate, sacred, or culturally sensitive knowledge, particularly within specific communities. Through a series of vignettes grounded in lived experiences, the authors illustrate…
“I Fell Right into the Stereotype
Drawing on field notes and ethnographic interviews with three systems-impacted Latina girls, this study examines their educational experiences across two carceral figured worlds. Using figured worlds, we explore how the girls made sense of their often fraught social interactions with peer and educators and how it informed their identity development. This study highlights some of the educational challenges systems-impacted Latina girls faced as w…
Friends in Our Lives
Mentoring programs are popular interventions to support holistic development for young people. One specific model of mentoring that has emerged over the past few decades in the United States is professional mentoring. Research has illustrated that this model of mentoring may be particularly helpful for young people who could benefit from extra support in their lives that a volunteer mentoring program does not have the capacity to provide. Despite…
Doing the Real Work
The experiences of Latina women and girls with state surveillance, and their responses to unfair policies and practices, remain underexplored. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Latinas-primarily of Mexican descent-living in San Diego, we examine how encounters with local police and immigration enforcement shape their political practices. Participants described repeated negative encounters with police and immigration enforcement agencies over th…
Fostering accountability, practices, and policies to serve system-impacted young people across the carceral continuum
Raising the bar
Learning from Within
Grounded in a Black feminist approach (Collins, Citation2022; Evans-Winters, Citation2019), in this article, I weave together the personal and professional to share what I have learned as a Black Latina educator, researcher, and abolitionist who for the past twelve years has worked in carceral spaces alongside numerous men, women, youth, and gender expansive people. I bridge what I have learned from theories of the flesh (Madison, Citation1993; M…
Towards family preservation
White Kids on the Block
This study contributes to efforts already underway to attend to the reproduction of white supremacy and the ways whiteness manifests across contexts. We examine whiteness and white racial identity development among incarcerated youth, both a group and place not often studied in relation to these two concepts. Using critical ethnographic methods, we explore how processes of white identity development unfold among incarcerated white youth and the w…
