Jen Turner, postdoctoral researcher on the Prison Design project, has guest edited a terrific special issue of the open-access geography journal Geographica Helvetica, which will be of interest to all researching carceral spaces.
Entitled “Criminality and Carcerality Across Boundaries“, the special issue contains papers by Matt Mitchelson, Deirdre Conlon, Nancy Hiemstra, Jenna Loyd, Alison Mountz, Brett Story, Martijn Felder, Chin-Ee Ong, Claudio Minca, Elizabeth Brown, Dominique Moran and Yvonne Jewkes.
In her guest editorial, Jen encourages carceral geographers to replace the terms commonly used to describe this subdiscipline – such as “emergent” – with what she calls “terminology… altogether more fitting: well-established, evolutionary and/or here to stay.” If you agree, please consider completing this survey on a possible research group/working group of the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers.
