Walls to Bridges: Evolving Our Work Within Carceral Spaces by Rupturing Racism and Oppression Through a Participatory Process
Get PDFHere She Comes: Women of Convict Criminology
Get PDFIn response to Joanne Belknap’s 2014 presidential address in which she critiqued the white male dominance of Convict Criminology, formerly incarcerated women formed the group’s first thematic panel on “Women of Convict Criminology” at the American Society of Criminology annual conference in 2016. This article reports the results of an analysis presented in the first session that illustrates the invisibility of directly impacted women contributors to our knowledgebase and recaps the inspiration, courage, and empiricism that sparked the presence of a new, more diverse group of directly impacted people fighting for recognition and inclusion in knowledge construction within ‘malestream’ criminology. Ways of conceptualizing carceral status as one axis of oppressions and directions for the future of Convict Criminology are discussed
Standing at the Intersection of Identity and Convict Criminology: A Brief Exercise in Reflexivity
Get PDFPogey Beach: Work and Leisure in Just Passing Through
No full textWork is a complicated topic in Atlantic Canadian literature and popular culture. Atlantic Canada is a land of many stereotypes, and received images of the region are often wrapped up in ideas about work. The tourism industry brands Atlantic Canada as a space of leisure at the same time as the media shorthand “have-not” region reinforces a narrative of decline and the idea that work is scarce on the East Coast. This essay suggests that the Prince Edward Island-based web-series Just Passing Through (dir. Jeremy Larter 2013-2016) provides a radical perspective on the symbolic place of work in the culture of Atlantic Canada. Just Passing Through operates in a different cultural sphere than literature and even television and film; it demonstrates no allegiance to received images of Atlantic Canada and makes no attempt to counter regressive stereotypes. Instead, it satirically glorifies pogey (Employment Insurance) fraud and presents tourism, the marketing of Maritime culture, and outmigration to the oil patch as scams that should be ridiculed and exploited

Get PDFThinking Critically About the Next Decade of Convict Criminology
Get PDFConvict Criminology (CC) is a quarter-century old. During those years, this combined approach, group, organization, school, theory, and network has produced scholarly literature and mentored actual and aspiring doctoral students who have been incarcerated and released from carceral custody, assisting them in their careers and engaging in corrections-related policy debates and activism. As the academic fi elds and real-world practice of Corrections and Critical Criminology have changed, and the people who have been involved in CC have come and gone, Convict Criminology has evolved. This paper briefl y reviews the aims and history of CC, then applies a strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis to Convict Criminology with the goal of suggesting ways that the leadership, members, and allies of the CC approach might best further its mission
