Research

Poverty, social class, and “race”; the political and economic marginalization of youth and the social construction of marginality (“street youth,” “juvenile delinquents,” “inner-city youth”); combining the political-pedagogical praxis of Paulo Freire with activist anthropology; critical pedagogy and transformation theory; the politics of education and social change; the democratization of the production of transformative knowledge through participatory action research; youth participatory action research and social justice education; political organization and social activism through art and cultural expression; visual anthropology and the use of image and video in research praxis; the social and cultural impacts of neoliberalism; policy research and program evaluation; the U.S. and Brazil. My doctoral dissertation is an ethnographic study that explores how ethnically minoritized youth living in situations of poverty perceive and experience racialized criminalization in their everyday lives—what I call “poverty to prison pipelines” (Arney 2008, fieldnotes).
