- Abstract
- This is a submission for the degree of PhD by Publication. The thesis draws upon fivepreviously published papers (three journal articles and two book chapters) about the loss,bereavement and trauma experiences of young men in prison. The thesis identifies andsummarises the themes that connect and cohere the papers: the multiple and persistentexperiences of loss and disenfranchisement, driven by gender norms, shame, stigma andmarginalised identities. While the thesis confirms both the presence and relevance ofdisenfranchised grief for young men in prison, it also recognises that the concept may notsufficiently capture the intensity of the young men’s multi-layered experiences, which carryadded meaning for young men who are undertaking the key developmental transition toadulthood in the restricted environment of a prison. Disenfranchised grief has historically beenstudied from a single-issue perspective, rather than exploring the complex interactions andimpacts of multiple disenfranchising scenarios. Thus it became apparent that a morecontextual and dynamic understanding of disenfranchised grief was needed to better accountfor the lived experience of these young men in prison.Drawing from both Intersectional Theory and the Socioecological Model this thesis presents aunique socioecological intersectional model of disenfranchised grief in prison in order to depictthe multiple and systemic drivers of disenfranchised grief, and to incorporate who is beingdisenfranchised, where this is happening, how, why and by whom. The drivers ofdisenfranchised grief were located across multiple systems, such as the self, family, institutionsand public policy, and included the loss, harm and marginalisation cased directly by the justicesystem itself. In this way the thesis confirms and extends the concept of disenfranchised grief,as well as provides insights into the challenges and locations for responding to disenfranchisedgrief for young men in prison.
