Thanks!! Excited to be headed over

PS Feels especially good to be headed home up 3-1 💪🏾

Just taught my last class at UMass Boston! Next semester I'll be beginning a new faculty position at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Grateful to many of my colleagues at UMass for welcoming me into the field, and excited to be joining such a powerful group of scholars warriors over at CUNY!

RNR centers
Person’s role in their offense
W/ no wide context.

No acknowledgement
Of social restraints is a

Thomas Hilliard:
Another name we should know
In forensic psych.

His impact in court
On solitary effects
Should be recognized.

Honored and inspired by all you do as well!

People I directly shouted out (I’m pretty sure, all a blur!) that inspired my discussion of trust in legal systems, scientists, clinicians:

@evanauguste.bsky.social
@cdelawalla.bsky.social
@neillewisjr.bsky.social
@tessneal.bsky.social

Thank you (plus others I’ll reach out too).

See you there!

All of those factors are of course relevant within the American context, but a few of the chapters have a transnational focus, with the clear context that the book is rooted within the particularities of the U.S.'s histories with incarceration and colonization.

It'll be out early this year.

Happy to have that conversation once you've read the argument.

Some highlights from this year. A lot of yapping!

Yes! Have a symposium with Natalie, Apryl, and Kim and some of their colleagues

We do, and have a chapter in there addressing this as well.

Thank you! Let's get another one in soon!

Thank you!!

We've got chapters on African-centered assessment, community healing, forensic practice in service to radical movement, therapeutic practice for formerly incarcerated people, reparations, and more. All from a grounded group of scholars, clinicians, and people with lived experience.

End of the year and first post on here. Excited to share this book volume early next year.

"Let Them Not be Forgotten": Black Resistance through Forensic Psychology

Aimed to bring in people who incorporated the radical school of Black psych with the material goal of liberation.

Thanks Liz!!
