About this Event
Welcome to the Annual Schulman Distinguished Lecture Series.
Dr. Marva Goodson will be visiting Northeastern to give a guest lecture about her research on community-based correctional supervision from a network perspective. Community-based supervision has wide-reaching implications for individuals under correctional control and their personal social networks.
Dr. Goodson will discuss her study employing egocentric social network analysis and qualitative narratives to examine the resources provided by network members and the conditions under which ties are nominated as the most or least supportive. Data were collected through in-person interviews with 156 women with felony convictions, focusing on their 985 network members. Findings underscore how racial and economic inequalities influence opportunities for resource mobilization and supervision compliance.
Moreover, women’s narratives provide insights into how supervision requirements can deplete marginalized networks of limited resources and allow estranged ties to exploit features of the criminal legal system.
This year's Schulman series will be an in-person event. This event is complimentary, but registration is required for the in-person discussion.
