“I Didn’t Grow Up to Be a Square, You Feel Me?” Latine Youth Captivity and Unruly Outlawed Envisioning
This article shifts our sociological attention to narratives by and from 19 Latine-identifying formerly incarcerated youth who were part of a community-based nonprofit reentry program in the San Francisco Bay Area. Insights within are focused on formerly incarcerated youth’s perspectives regarding the shaping contours of their life due to experiencing state custody, inclusive of their retrospective articulations related to their educational and r…
Unsettling Foundations of School Pushout
This article reviews existing foundational scholarly conversations on school pushout across sociological and interdisciplinary sets of literature, paying careful attention to central ideas and arguments from scholarship that speaks to the study of punishment, discipline, and exclusion in schooling and societal contexts. We review two salient themes that resulted from our enduring engagement with school pushout discourses: (1) gendered “doing” in …
Reinterpreting ‘Noncompliance’
This article reinterprets the ‘noncompliant’ status position repeatedly deployed against formerly incarcerated youth, especially those navigating reentry on the terms and conditions set by probation departments. Specifically, I focus on youth experiences with ‘probation violations,’ which lead to further reincarceration and punishment. Primarily through Noah De Lissovoy’s incisive pedagogical ruminations of a racialized carceral turn amid neolibe…
Education Hesitant
Coming from México 'for a Better Life Here
Chicago's broader notorious reputation of gang and gun violence dominates popular discursive conversations about the city's safety and stability. Through a critical structural perspective, this article explores the constitutive historical continuity and spatialized contours of racial capitalism in the facilitation of structured violence and organized death in city neighborhoods. These dynamics are most relevant where individualized and pathologic…
“When You Carry a Lot”
Context: The Crouse decision from 1838 laid precedent to the positioning of prisons as sites where education takes place. With a massive expansion of youth carceral facilities since then, alongside the prison-schools within them, we continually rely on prison-school spaces as places where youth are brought to experience education and punishment. While the wider population of youth who are incarcerated in the United States has significantly reduce…
FACTSHEET – Prison-Schools
“When We Come to Your Class … We Feel Not Like We're in Prison”
Education research increasingly conceptualizes how social interactions and contexts of public schools replicate practices found in prisons. Yet prison-schooling is often left out of education research. Concurrently, prison-schooling is where we educate a disproportionate amount of multiply marginalized youth, specifically disabled Girls of Color. The lack of attention to prison-schools has limited how teaching in youth carceral facilities can be …
Race, Power, and Resistance in Chicago
Get “With It”
The merging of prison or carceral studies and education is longstanding. In fact, there is an omnipresence of an educational studies foundations that analyzes and interrogates the role of carceral logics in schools and prisons. I refer to these foundations as the study of "educational carcerality," and in this article, I demonstrate how such an analytical heuristic affords a more capacious understanding of how carcerality structures schooling and…
Solidarity Incarcerated
Context: Prison education has often been ignored in discussions of public education. When it has been included, Girls of Color are often eclipsed by larger populations of Boys of Color. Yet the routes disabled Girls of Color take to prisons are different from those of their male peers; Girls of Color become incarcerated for low-level offenses and often end up back in prison due to probation violations, meaning they have been punished more severel…
Linguistic Confinement
Language assessments are often framed as benign mechanisms needed to objectively classify people’s linguistic proficiencies. In this article, I argue for the need to critically re-examine how purportedly objective institutional language assessments and our participation in them deceptively reify historical and contemporary inequities. I offer the analytic of linguistic confinement that is structured by an ideological bundle of race, language, and…
