Interrogating narratives of urban change: Disinvestment and development in two neighborhoods in Baltimore, MD
Popular press and academic narratives of neighborhood change frequently conflate the experiences of different non-white populations in working-class and poor areas, presenting them as detrimental to urban development and at risk of displacement and eviction. Such narratives provide justification for uneven disinvestment and overlook the variegated ways in which urban development strategies can be exploitative. Mislabeling urban change as gentrifi…

Research, Power, and Care: Limitations to Collaborative Research with Children and Youth
This article considers the obstacles and opportunities in collaborative action research. It focuses on two examples: a virtual participatory action research with five migrant Latina young women and a participatory action-oriented project in a middle school in Baltimore, Maryland. We argue that intentions alone are not enough to challenge the dynamics of knowledge production. Children and adult researchers continue to interact in the context of hi…
Negotiating the border: Contending with constraints and creating opportunity from Venezuela to Peru
Utilizing a feminist geopolitical lens, this article examines the accounts of 18 Venezuelans who migrated from Venezuela since 2015. I make two main arguments. First, I expand accounts that focus on restrictive mobility regimes in countries receiving migrants to also look at how governments such as Venezuela’s, along with their accompanying border management strategies, limit Venezuelans’ mobility. Many scholars argue that the regulation of borde…
Contending with coloniality: Unsettling migration narratives of Venezuelans in Peru
Decolonizing children’s geographies: Challenging knowledge production about childhoods in Baltimore, MD
In this viewpoint, I argue for greater engagement between children’s geographies and decolonial scholarship. I suggest that decolonial scholarship, by emphasizing the role that knowledge plays in justifying and perpetuating inequalities, offers a way to bring analyses of childhoods in the Global North into conversation with analyses of childhoods in the Global South. Instead of positioning southern childhoods as the ‘other’ in relation to global …
Towards a relational understanding of child poverty: Care and adverse inclusion among street-affiliated children in Peru
Placing the vulnerable subject: Re-theorizing Peruvian street children's lives through an ethic of care
This article examines the lives of Peruvian street children as a lens to more critically think about ideas of agency, vulnerability and care. Building on more than 14 months of fieldwork with street children in Lima and Cusco, the lives of children in this study reveal street children as vulnerable subjects, able to act in the context of their particular dependencies. Applying a feminist ethic of care to an analysis of children's lives challenges…
Challenging conceptions of young people as urban blight: Street children and youth's ambiguous relationship with urban revitalization in Lima, Peru
Government officials, city planners and elites frequently position young people, especially street children and youth, as detrimental to revitalization, contributing to urban blight and needing removal. Through an examination of urban change in Lima, Peru, this article challenges the assumption that street children and youth exclusively detract from urban revitalization. Although many young people have been negatively affected by Lima's revitaliz…
Control, Protection and Rights
In this article, I critically examine Peru’s Law to Protect Minors from situations of Begging. I consider the way in which a language of children’s rights is ironically invoked to justify the physical removal and criminalization of children working in public spaces by appeals to very specific understandings of childhood, parenting, and space. Despite the law’s formal emphasis on protection, I suggest it is more concerned with social control and c…
Protecting” street children? Urban revitalization and regulation in Lima, Peru
In this article, I develop a critical analysis of the relationship between urban “revitalization” campaigns and the regulation of street children in Lima, Peru. Scholars writing mostly in the Global North have drawn attention to increasingly punitive policies regarding public space. While in many regards Lima’s urban policy is reflective of such larger trends, I consider whether the regulation of street children is as punitive as might be assumed…
