Parental Incarceration’s Effect on Family: Effects on Mothers, Fathers, Marriage, Children, and Socioeconomic Status
No full textThe objective of this paper is to provide a qualitative analysis of the effects incarceration has on family members. Incarceration affects a very large number of families in the United States and Canada, especially since the mass incarceration between the 1970s and 2000s that occurred in the United States. Incarceration was found to have both negative effects on incarcerated mothers and fathers, and it was found to increase the risk of divorce. Children were also affected by parental incarceration by raising their risks of developing mental illness, engaging in delinquent behaviour, having negative social experiences and damaging their parent-child relationship. Moreover, parental incarceration had little to no effect on a child’s academic performance and it displayed the child’s resiliency. Lastly, incarceration had negative effects on a family’s socioeconomic status and it increased the risk of second-generation offenders

No full textA Digital Snapshot – A Media Arts Justice Toolkit Approach to Support Indigenous Self-Determining Youth
No full textIn this piece, Lindquist provides a toolkit for working with Indigenous youth through media arts. In doing so, she braids the three themes of the Symposium together: Indigenous, digital, and youth issues. Here, she presents her work as part academic article, part toolkit. The toolkit includes four examples of media arts justice activities that can be used to engage and support youth as they make connections between local and global issues. These activities were used by nehiyaw youth from Frog Lake First Nation who were attending Heinsburg Community School with support from Native Youth Sexual Health Network. Each activity includes a step-by-step guide, as well as background information on the relevance for young people as well as the scholarly community. They are grounded in both project- and place-based pedagogical approaches, and have benefits for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Lindquist theorizes around these examples throughout using Indigenous feminisms, reproductive justice, and education-based frameworks and thus bridges the gap between scholar and practitioner. This toolkit is emerging as a bridge between where we are at now and what we can imagine
