Perspectives from the Edges of Exclusion and Punishment
Details are circulating of an exciting new research network for ECRs (Early Career Researchers) with an interest in punishment, funded by the SCCJR (Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research).
PEEP: Perspectives from the Edges of Exclusion and
Punishment, define punishment broadly, and are "interested in creating a
forum for inter-disciplinary perspectives on how government policy punishes
people, causes social suffering, excludes people from society and entrenches
inequality..." including "through the criminal justice system...
housing policy, social welfare, immigration detention, benefit sanctions,
health inequalities, as well as historical forms of confinement and punishment,
such as mother and baby homes, the death penalty and transportation."
Offering a supportive space for the scholarship of ECRs,
which they say is urgently required, PEEP seeks to "forge solidarity
between ECRs from across disciplines" and "generate the creative
energy needed to conduct individual and collaborative academic work."
Workshops: Call for Abstracts
PEEP also announces an open call for abstracts for three
half-day workshops where ECRs can refine and advance work-in-progress, such as
articles, book chapters, book proposals etc. Participants are expected to
attend each workshop and will be asked to present a 20 minute paper on one of
the following three days:
- 23 May at the University of Edinburgh
- 24 June at the University of Strathclyde
- 26 July University of Stirling
