  In Roundtable Session: Producing Minoritized Subjects

Abstract

This paper sheds light on how economically-disenfranchised, culturally-diverse, grade 7-12 female students and their mothers are highly profitable inside contemporary productive relations. Ethnographic data were collected. Data were explored with the understanding that capitalism/neoliberalism is structured upon perpetual raced and gendered elaborations. Findings indicate this population is increasingly tracked in schools as connected to a large web of other privatized institutions and agencies through high-tech tools that mine, sell, and share information with often punitive, violent results. In the current culture, there are few places to turn for help. Related social movements mostly speak to the privileged. There is a glaring lack of protective policy, and that which does exist is not acted upon/unevenly applied. This is contested terrain.
