Carceral Edgelands Closing Event

December 20, 2022
BEE meet, Call for Papers, Projects, or Submissions, Events

Call for participation: Carceral Edgelands closing event.

Please join us for a special event on Saturday, January 7th at noon. This is an open call to share writing on the theme of carceral edgelands—a project that asks, simply: what is it like to live in the edgelands of immigrant detention? At this event we will share writing and visual work that is adjacent to incarceration, work that fleshes out worlds in proximity, the terrains vague, that exists on the margins of the carceral systems but not necessarily about immigrant detention itself. Our closing event will open with a special reading by Joseph C. Russo, author of Hard Luck and Heavy Rain: The Ecology of Stories in Southeast Texas (Duke 2022).

In the tradition of the Public Feelings writing group we will take turns reading our work to one another. Writing should be between 100 and 400 words in length and may include images. Video or sound work should be no longer than five minutes. If you are sharing video, sound, or images, please submit prior to the event. The works that are shared at this event will be reviewed for inclusion in a special issue of the journal Sociology Lens (formerly Journal of Historical Sociology).

Please reach out to Craig Campbell (craig.campbell@utexas.edu) if you have any questions or if you’d like to participate.
