Nora Gross will present her book Brothers in Grief: The Hidden Toll of Gun Violence on Black Boys and Their Schools, an ethnography that traces the emotional lives of firearm violence and institutional neglect. In conversation with urban ethnographer Jooyoung Lee.
You can read two chapters of Gross's book here and for additional reading on these methods, you can check out this chapter from her co-authored 2022 methodological volume, "Care-Based Methodologies."
