  • Bio:

    CalvinJohn Smiley received his Ph.D. from The Graduate Center-CUNY in 2014. His work focuses on the intricacies and complications of prisoner reentry for urban inhabitants. More specifically, his research seeks out how men and women navigate and negotiate reentry space, moving from confinement to community, with diminished legal rights and amplified social stigmas. His dissertation focused on residents of Newark, New Jersey who were in the early stages of their reentry process transitioning from prison to halfway houses to community. Smiley’s work is critical of the glaring contradiction in the ways citizenship is simultaneously given and taken away from persons with a felony conviction. In other words, the state creates a unique type of citizenry for those who have been incarcerated; individuals are concurrently an in-group and out-group. He is currently working on a book proposal based on his research.

  • Current Projects:

    Much of my current research is tackling issues of prisoner reentry including: reentry and clothing, reentry and spousal selection, and reentry and time. In addition to my work on prisoner reentry, I have studied issues in popular culture, particularly hip-hop music, social media spaces, and current social issues (e.g., #BlackLivesMatter). My next large project is still in the early stages but will focus on human and non-human cohabitation in shared spaces of the carceral state.
