In this paper, three co-authors discuss our collaborative work on a community engaged project addressing the school prison nexus in a midwestern city. This study takes up AESA’s conference theme that involves issues of risk, collaboration, love, remembering and connections with/in differences. In our paper, we share the details of our project and discuss key questions that arose from this collaborative work. Specifically, we reflect on the tensions of solidarity work, the process of critical community building, and how we have worked through exclusionary practices in community building. In what follows, we will describe our community engaged research project. We will conclude with a discussion about the tensions of community building that are demonstrated in this project.
