Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The purpose of this session is twofold: 1) spark interest in scholarship on carcerality in higher education in order to advance equity and justice for marginalized communities; and 2) explore how the carcerality analytic complements theories of racism. The questions guiding the collective research presented in this session are: 1) What is carcerality and how does it manifest in higher education?, and 2) How can an analysis of carcerality inform efforts to advance equity and racial justice for minoritized students and communities? This session will serve as a space for the presentation of research and, more importantly, initiate dialogue among scholars to develop a collaborative research agenda focused on carcerality, racism, racial justice, and higher education.
