“Home to me has been mostly just a backpack”: Childhood housing instability among survivors of sex trafficking
Death world economy: Race, meat-processing plants, and Covid-19
As COVID-19 outbreaks and deaths ravaged US meat-processing facilities, companies and officials supported production instead of people. Analyzing the content of newspaper articles, court records, press releases, and company websites, we argue that (1) despite their “essential” status, meat factory workers are a disposable labor force; and (2) factory worker dispensability is the result of a racialized historical process. The expendability of prim…
Decolonial feminist pedagogies: Entering into the “world” of the zombie as praxis
To teach about race is to recognize how there are communities whose worlds are shaped by violence, death, and resurrection, such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Emmett Till, George Floyd, and the many unnamed.

This study employed qualitative methods of in-depth structured interviews with ten convicted sex traffickers (ages 24-56; 100% identifying as female). Participants' lived experiences revealed circumstances that led them to trafficking, specific needs, and the stigmatization they faced after exiting economies tied to trafficking. Inductive analysis…
Witnessing in a Time of Homeland Futurities
Current US rhetorical strategies of imagining a future of the homeland have led to the creation and utilisation of new technologies to contain and manage the border. These responses to the US border and immigration impact anti-trafficking efforts, sustaining a ‘homeland futurity’. Homeland futurity draws on and extends discourses of emergency that solidify borders as dangerous and risky. This article traces how homeland futurities emerged in US a…

Fukushima examine…
