Weekend read: check out Justin Tetrault's (@tetrault.bsky.social) How Liberalism Accommodates Far-right Social Movements: On “Mainstreaming” and the Need for Critical Theory in Far-right Studies in Social Forces - academic-oup-com.proxy2.library.illinois.edu/sf/article/1...

This Wednesday I’ll be talking about Indigenous health and incarceration experiences. I show how holistic health models - including cultural and community-based supports - are crucial for supporting system-involved people and for confronting the structures driving Indigenous mass incarceration.

"$8,492 for Flip-Flops: The Price of Punishment Without Support", by Emily Stewart. New John Howard Society series "Within the System" covers stories from people navigating release from prison. Based on fieldwork from our longitudinal re-entry study. #criminology johnhoward.ca/blog/the-pri...

Gave a talk last year on #Métis and broader #Indigenous re-entry experiences after prison, based on longitudinal interviews with almost 1000 people. I review our new study and cover some preliminary findings on racial inequality. Now up on the Rupertsland Centre page. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc1c...

Happy to receive a SSHRC IDG supporting a new project with my colleague Sandra Bucerius. It's (tentatively) about how current political trends complicate traditional understandings of the left and right. The project centres on German populism and involves interviews with AfD and BSW supporters.

Giving a talk tomorrow about far-right politics in Canada at @maynoothuniversity.ie. It's about penal populism as a form of far-right politics and how "far-right studies" often suffers from presentism. #maynoothcrimcon #criminology Parallel Sessions 2, 4pm, TSI/043

Excited to share I’m joining @sfu.ca's School of Criminology, where I'll have the opportunity to expand my research programs and teach graduate students. I have made lifelong friends at Augustana and will deeply miss my colleagues, students, and community partners. Looking forward to the road ahead!

I recently wrote about how extremism studies increasingly eclipses social science, as writers favour flashy concepts divorced from sociological traditions — like 'salad bar,' 'lawful,' and 'anti-government' extremism. This article does something similar, using simple concepts to assert broad claims.

Happening Thursday: "Métis Experiences with Re-entry from Prison: How the Canadian Justice System Creates Impossible Conditions". I'm covering preliminary findings based on 900+ interviews with system-involved people. Thank you to the Rupertsland Centre for hosting. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
