Problem
A. Using evidence from course materials, explain how economic globalization and neoliberal policy are related to criminalization and gentrification in the United States.
B. Using ethnographic evidence from course materials (and optionally, your own experiences), explain how neoliberal policy in the education system affects youth of color in California and the United States.
C. Using ethnographic evidence from course materials (and optionally, your own experiences), explain: (a) how the criminalization of Black and Brown communities in the United States has affected youth and their families; and, (b) describe ways in which organizations and movements have tried to counteract racialized policing and incarceration.
D. Using examples from course materials, what type of pedagogy (curricular approaches) supported the learning of those communities typically harmed by neoliberal education policies?
E. If you could study issues of education, criminalization, and/or gentrification as an anthropologist, what communities/groups would you study, and what methods would you use? For how long would you conduct your study? Reference the work of social scientists from the course to support your response.
