Check out @chiarapackard.bsky.social's thread for info on how to sign up for our discussion tomorrow on this amazing book by @kelleyfong.bsky.social!

Chiara Packard @chiarapackard.bsky.social · Apr 17

This book is powerful!

It reveals the experiences of mothers who fear CPS will take their children away, while also exploring why people report to CPS and the process of investigation.

Importantly, it highlights the problems with using CPS as a tool to address poverty. @kelleyfong.bsky.social

Some new art by my friend @monicatrinidad.bsky.social - I think that she is quoting @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

Illustration of a person in striped clothing holding a sign that reads "purpose disrupts despair." The person has long braided hair and is raising a clenched fist. Black cats are below, with abstract sun rays in the background.

I call this experience "liminal punishment" which I argue is one form of poverty governance wielded over people in "in-between" spaces. I show how threats of jail coerce people into performances of deservingness that often go beyond the formal requirements.

I'm very proud of an article I recently had published in Social Problems (one of my faves!!) that explores how people charged with felonies are conditioned into the treatment they should expect upon adjudication. academic.oup.com/socpro/advan...
