The lived experience of all individuals matter: Considering an intersectional feminist, queer, and critical race criminological epistemic carcerality

Wed, Nov 13, 8:00 to 9:20am, Pacific F - 4th Level

Abstract

Like most criminological theories, epistemic carcerality runs the risk of focusing on the majority or single marginalized-identity experience while leaving the unique perspectives of intersectional identities an afterthought. Instead, epistemic carcerality has the opportunity to bridge the gaps in understanding lived-experiences by valuing the reality that most individuals have lifelong criminal-legal system outcomes based on their unique identity. While complicated in nature, intersecting identities can result in privilege or oppression situational analysis. Utilizing feminist, queer, and critical race theory, the following explores how an intersectional epistemic carcerality perspective can consciously explore survivors of the criminal-legal systematic harm.
