Reading everything from policies to architecture, Young persuasively illustrates the real and immediate need for a more nuanced understanding of the impact of embodiments in secondary education settings.»

«Jennifer Young’s book is an exemplary application of critical discourse analysis to the plight of young people who too often feel “imprisoned” in our schools. Her savvy and illuminating analyses are fully in the service of ending business as usual and getting on with a badly needed paradigm change in school and society.»
James Paul Gee, Arizona State University
«From dress codes to lockdowns to discipline policies, this book provides an insightful look at the modern-day high school and its increasingly troubling practices. The author’s experiences provide her with a unique position to not only survey these practices but dissect them as well with penetrating results.»
