This paper has been in the works for about five years and is finally in print! It's about the work that formerly incarcerated Black women engage in to resist efforts to undermine their citizenship.

In this moment, when citizenship is becoming more and more precarious, I highly recommend this read.

Followed by @sallynuamah.bsky.social's "Closed for Democracy" for an exploration of what happens next, after engaging with--and sometimes even eeking out small victories from--institutions that feel profoundly inaccessible and alienating
