Drawing on qualitative research conducted with young people in New
York, this volume highlights the unique experiences of children of
incarcerated parents (COIP) and counters deficit-based narratives
to consider how young people's voices can inform and improve
educational support services. Supporting Children of Incarcerated
Parents in Schools combines the author's original research and
personal experiences with an analysis of existing scholarship to
provide unique insight into how COIP experience schooling in the
United States. With a focus on the benefits of qualitative research
for providing a more nuanced portrayal of these children and their
experiences, the text foregrounds youth voices and emphasizes the
resilience, maturity, and compassion which these young people
demonstrate. By calling attention to the challenges that COIP face
in and out of school, and also addressing associated issues around
race and racism, the book offers large and small-scale changes that
educators and other allies can use to better support children of
incarcerated parents. This volume will be of interest to scholars
and researchers interested in the sociology of education, race and
urban education, and the impacts of parental incarceration
specifically. It will also be of benefit to educators and school
leaders who are supporting young people affected by these issues.
