Hi, everyone, I just wanted to circle back briefly. I think I've now responded to almost everyone who wrote me individually and felt compelled to write a short update to the collective. First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their rich insights. I had put a project on the back burner related to this topic and now feel thoroughly compelled to return to work on it. An unexpected development! Furthermore, some of you have asked that I share the citations I was using in my own work, before I sent my email; some of you also asked me to share the citations I received from other members of this listserv. I'm happy to do this, a little later in the month, and share it back as a Google doc, if that works for folks. For a little more background, I am conducting ongoing research involving the U.N. Detention Unit in The Hague, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention facilities, and the U.S. detention facilities in Guantánamo Bay (pre-9/11, in the 90s and post-9/11, from the 2002-present). More broadly, I examine flows of people, information, and media in and out of isolated, government-controlled properties. Would love to keep in touch with folks from the listserv, who have a common interest in these topics. Please don't hesitate to reach out just to connect and/or discuss specifics, even if you have no citations to offer! : ) In closing, thank you for giving me much to ponder, Muira *Muira McCammon* *Ph.D. candidate, Annenberg School for Communication, UPenn * *@muira_mccammon* *New article out in *New Media & Society <https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1461444820934034>*: "*Tweeted, deleted: An exploratory study of the US government’s digital memory holes" On Mon, Jul 13, 2020 at 10:20 PM Muira McCammon <muira.n.mccammon@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, all,
I wanted to reach out to this listserv to connect with folks, who have published on the topic of Internet access (or lack thereof) in prisons as well as the communication practices and/or digital rights of detained and incarcerated populations. I've tried to keep up with scholarship/literature on this topic over the years, but I'm sure I've missed a keyword or database. If you've published on this topic, I'd love to hear from you and if the stars align, cite you. I'm particularly interested in what happens when the "Internet as a human right" discourses collide with carceral logics.
I do apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere/previously in the archive.
Thank you,
Muira
