Using data from 2 year photo-ethnography with people who use meth (@jaredragland), we have published the 1st photo-ethnography in the journal Criminology! We show the importance of narratives in shaping behavior @FionaBrookman1 @BlakeDBeaton https://t.co/xQ5tfU5xdP

@CrimFerret @prisonbookprog Sounds like a paper for Deviant Behavior

@naturally_crime @Catherineoscopy First ten years are free! After that Buffy will take payment in the form of playing with the babies.

@UAB_CJ Honor student Tatyana Martin (mentored by @jeffatuab) won the @SouthernCrim student poster award this year! She'll be entering the MSCJ program in the spring

@SJacques83 @PeterMoskos I'd probably be closer to Copes of the Suburb

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@SJacques83 I know some of the narrative criminologists in Europe were doing this, but I don't know if they still are. Also, there is the ethnographic cafe, where they invite ethnographers to discuss their work (but it's sociology in general not criminology).

@SJacques83 @CrimFerret I hate that I laughed at this but it is catchy

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

I worked with @fabioimpoppi on this paper now in Critical Criminology. We use innovative data collection and theoretical framework (joint fantasizing) to look at identities and crime. https://t.co/9WmTDZ9fuV #qualcrim

I hope this gets the conversation started about the practical and ethical issues with making transcripts and other qualitative data public. The editors of Criminology @VolkanTopalli seem open to discuss. Would live to hear other people's thoughts on it. #Criminology #qualcrim

[Sandra Bucerius @SBucerius]

Pleased that The Criminologist published @HeCopes & my article on the "Transparency trade-off: the risks of Criminology’s new data sharing policy". As board members of #Criminology we felt it was important to discuss possible implications for qualitative researchers &participants

@4n6dave @naturally_crime @UAB_CJ @LindsayLeban Yes, Sloane did in fact change her mind on beards. It's how I was able to get such wonderful candid shots.

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@naturally_crime @UAB_CJ @LindsayLeban After the photo shoot, Sloane and I did a photo-elicitation interview to discuss identity issues. We are now buddies and she sees the beauty in the beard. It's really a heart-warming story.

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@VolkanTopalli This would definitely push the otter limits of the discipline.

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@LindsayLeban and I are designing an 8week journaling class with women who experienced violence. Each week will have a new journal technique and theme. e.g., we will use @TheHalfArtist 8-panel life story idea. We'd love to hear any other interesting journaling devices!

@nolan_monaghan @jaredragland I enjoyed my visit to ISU! The people were great.

First paper from our (@jaredragland) photo-ethnography of peyote use #narrativecrim #psychedelics #qualcrim https://t.co/thoCwRXDjo

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@SJacques83 Alright, I'm willing to pay a one cheap drink to for you to show me how. That's the best I can do.

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@SJacques83 At least you didn't tell me to do my own work! I tried it once and got confused so I quit

[Heith Copes @HeCopes]

@SJacques83 You can walk me through it at ASC!

In case Dr. Leon Pettiway’s contribution to criminology gets lost in the sea of unsubscribe emails, his book Honey, Honey, Miss Thang is the earliest work in queer criminology that I am aware of. https://t.co/8nqIiowS62
