291 - Presidential Panel. Young Ethnographers: The Police, Surveillance, and Violence: The Next Generation of Ethnographic Work

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

The era of mass incarceration has reverberated through daily life in countless ways. This panel of young ethnographers provides valuable insight into some of the ways that these changing overnment policies have limited and transformed the lives of the poor. The studies provide vivid detail of the role that police surveillance, and violence, shapes the lives of young adults. This is a cutting edge field where the insights of young ethnographers, including those on this panel, have been particularly important.
