The incorrigible girl : Inez Garcia and the Hudson Prison for girls
Velasco, Linda Christine
Although Inez Garcia Santos is often remembered through her legal battle and grassroots
defense committee, I argue that her 1957 incarceration at the Hudson Prison in New York
allows us to uncover historical links between juvenile justice and anti-carceral feminism.
Firstly, I illustrate Garcia's relationship to the Hudson Prison through a history of her
legal case. Secondly, I trace practices of the Hudson Prison and the symbiotic relationship
across juvenile courts, academia and mental health professions that grounded them.
Lastly, I investigate how criminalized girls and women, like Garcia, have used self-defense
to imagine futures beyond gendered violence, both then and now.

Ethnobotanical ecology in Afro-diasporic medicine magic
Stamps, Shellie Adrian
The purpose of this study is to explore the extent to which women identified African
American healers understand land and nature based medicine as a conduit to physical and
spiritual health. This study explores the relationship between African American women
and land through a historical analysis of African spiritual systems, colonialism,
enslavement, and an exploration of contemporary agency in the world of medicinal herbs.
This thesis includes a series of semi-structured interviews consisting of 3-4 case studies
with participants who identify as African American women practitioners of
ethnobotanical health remedies. This work serves as a contribution to the field of Ethnic
Studies by exploring this topic through an intersectional Ethnic Studies lens, which
contributes to past research conducted via a anthropological, archeological and
geographical discourse. This work provides more discussion about botanicals to the
discipline of Ethnic Studies and can be used to contribute to discourse around culture,
healing, and agency for Black women.
