Ep. 36 Debating language and how we identify ourselves: Convict Criminology with Jennifer Ortiz and Grant Tietjen

If you're new, welcome! If you're not, welcome back! This week we speak with Jennifer Ortiz, a professor of Criminology at Indiana University Southeast, and Grant Tietjen, a professor of Criminology at St. Ambrose University. They're both members of the ASC Division of Convict Criminology. Convict Criminology and the debate surrounding the word "convict" are the center of this episode. Jennifer and Grant tell us about the criticisms and why they chose to call themselves convict criminologists.    You can find Grant @tietjengrant and Jennifer @ortiz_phd on Twitter and at crimcon.org.   Please remember to rate and review us wherever possible (iTunes and Spotify).
