‘Dehumanizing spaces’: How COVID-19 is affecting inmates in Canada -- The Charlatan

With more than 8,500 COVID-19 cases linked to Canadian carceral institutions, some issues related to the well-being and socialization of inmates are becoming increasingly clear. Though there has been advocacy for the freedom and safety of inmates before the pandemic, it has pushed teams of researchers to focus on prison reform.

Understanding carceral mobilities in and through lived experiences of incarceration

 And article by PTP Investigators Sarah Turnbull and Dawn Moore

​Recent scholarship on carceral mobilities critiques conceptualizations of carceral spaces as fixed and stable, and movements within or around sites of confinement as linear and horizontal. According to this critique, criminological studies of imprisonment have typically embraced what Turner and Peters term a ‘sedentarist ontology’ by failing to consider the complexities of prisoner mobilities in the lived experiences of the carceral. We draw on qualitative interview data from the Prison Transparency Project, a multiyear study initially across four research sites in Canada focused on former prisoners’ narratives of their carceral experiences, to identify and analyze the multifaceted mobilities that characterize prison life.

Creating the new journalism classroom for a future in the balance: A not so modest proposal for a pedagogy of care, dialogue and critique

Informed by the work of Paulo Freire, bell hooks, Amilcar Cabral and Grace Lee Boggs, this paper considers the role a journalism education rooted in the liberal arts can play in the age of climate change and COVID-19. By pursuing such an educational path, journalism students can acquire the requisite skills to thrive in a professional newsroom, while contributing to the sustainability of life on earth. The journalism classroom can become a place of imagination which militates against feelings of alienation. It can become a site of solidarity, compassion, and freedom dreams. It is in the classroom where journalism students can learn to question fearlessly, listen deeply, and recognize the value of the stories and critiques of their classmates and instructors. By employing a dialogical method of teaching committed to ending all forms of domination and grounding a pedagogy of care, a classroom ethos can be cultivated that will affirm and restore the humanity of students wounded by the ravages of a global pandemic and change a world in peril.
