Statement of the Phenomenon: State the particular intersection of the school/prison nexus your research paper seeks to investigate. Be sure to provide a brief overview and history of the phenomenon you wish to investigate. Topics can be (but are by no means limited to) overrepresentation of LGBTQAI youth in the criminal legal system, immigrant youth in the school/prison nexus, overrepresentation of students of color in the school/prison nexus, abolition, transformative justice, etc. Discuss what your paper intends to address and whether or not there are any specific groups that are currently addressing your topic of interest (25 points).
Literature Review (relevant literature): Devote a section of your paper for an analysis of the relevant scholarly literature to your topic of interest. Remember to utilize scholarship from the myriad of disciplines (history, sociology, CLJ, philosophy, economics, education, youth development, ethnic studies, LGBTQA studies, gender and women’s studies, political science, urban planning, medicine, etc.). Speak to why the literature you’ve chosen is specifically important to your research. Don’t ramble or get into tangents. Keep the literature review concise and specific to your area of interest (25 points).
Discovery: This section is dedicated to what you have discovered in relationship to your investigation. Based on your findings, do you think people are beginning to pay attention to your topic of interest? If so, why? If not, why do you think they are not paying attention? Again, be specific. Tangents dilute meaning (25 points).
Conclusion/Discussion/Implications: Report as to why your topic of interest is relevant and the potential challenges in further research on dismantling the school/prison nexus (15 points).
