@statnews @taylormajewski @c_c_w_p Here's a link to our article in the International Journal of Prisoner Health where we first explored this topic. It's heartbreaking to see across these two pieces how COVID lockdowns profoundly impacted folks for more than 3 years: https://t.co/aLthYjlRrG

[Jen James @JenJamesPhD]

So glad to see this piece in @statnews on the toll of the lockdowns in CA women's prisons. Great reporting by @taylormajewski who spoke with folks inside, expanding research we did on COVID with folks released in 2020. Grateful as always to @c_c_w_p for the collaboration!

For @statnews, I spent the last few months talking with incarcerated people at the largest women's prison in the world and found an unfolding, disturbing mental health crisis

today! Hybrid: Weds, March 22 @ noon PT - "Mass Incarceration and 21st Century Eugenics" with @JenJamesPhD - co-sponsored by @CSLSatBerkeley @oandbinstitute - https://t.co/lg3x3LmIcy

[Jen James @JenJamesPhD]

Health, illness & healthcare in women's prisons occur at the intersection of racism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia & violence. To move #FromCrisis2Care we must seek #HealthNotPunishment. 👀 ⬇️ New report by @CURBprisons & @c_c_w_p https://t.co/WsPWbvqMJV

Such a privilege to publish w/ @DrKeishaRay @FaithEFletcher & @daphmarts! So grateful to @DrKeishaRay for leading this effort (and all the labor to make it perfect!) I write on carceral medicine & the need for #AbolitionEthics. If #bioethics says #BLM we must center incarceration

@AJSharmaMD @ePatientDave Do I love data selling? No. Not at all. But I can’t stand for profit medicine and research and I think it’s a massively bigger problem that we don’t engage with morally nearly enough. They way we use data is already horrifically unjust and this is like the tiniest possible part

[Jen James @JenJamesPhD]

@AJSharmaMD @ePatientDave For me it’s because it’s the wrong question. We should be asking: why can companies profit off health data? It feels weird to me to be against (low income) individuals recouping some money as companies generate massive profits without equitable distributing research benefits

The beautiful and informative content that comes out of the @EmancipatoryLab is due to our amazing team of graduate student co-assistant directors. We support them. If I was in charge of our content it would be one 37 tweet-long thread every 4 months. No one wants that #FairUCNow

[Emancipatory Sciences Lab @EmancipatoryLab]

Graduate students are an integral part of running this Lab. Beginning Nov. 14, at 8AM, this Lab will be respecting the picket line. Content and activities from this Twitter account will be reduced.

Working w/ graduate students is one of the biggest privileges of academic life. I am faculty at a UC precisely because I want the opportunity to mentor, work w/, & learn w/ & from early career scholars across many disciplines. We need #FairUCNow so I can pay them a living wage!
