Presentations will explore diverse topics including the criminalization process occurring in a Latina/o community that has increasingly become gentrified, the strategies for how system-involved Chicana mothers resists criminalization in their encounters with police, and how rural residents in Mexico resist involving authority figures in response to Intimate Partner Violence.
