- 요약Transformative change is a critical focus among scholars across disciplines, because of its potential to effectuate change within oppressive systems to promote liberation and well-being for disenfranchised communities (Gokani & Walsh, 2017; Kivell et al. 2023). Transformative change is characterized by efforts that transform the status quo by mitigating structural drivers of health (e.g., poverty, structural racism). It can be contrasted with ameliorative change, which focuses only on mitigating the negative impact of oppressive systems (e.g., trauma associated with poverty). Thus, the key difference between ameliorative and transformative change is the location of the social problem (e.g., poverty) and subsequent intervention implemented (Gokani & Walsh, 2017; Kivell et al. 2023; Overstreet, 2020; Rappaport, 1987; Riemer et al. 2020). Transformative change efforts can be particularly important for adolescents, given the outcomes it is found to promote during this critical developmental period (Maker-Castro et al. 2022; Seider et al. 2020; Rapa et al. 2018). For example, transformative change processes are found to promote self-efficacy (Ginwright, 2010; Morgan & Streb, 2001), improve mental and physical health (Ginwright, 2015; Hope et al. 2020), and increase school engagement (Cammarota, 2007; Dee & Penner, 2017).In practice, transformative change can be cultivated through many processes. Two processes, in particular, have received attention in the academic literature because of their potential to cultivate transformative change. These include (i) promoting one's critical consciousness (CC) - defined as the process of developing one's awareness of inequitable systems in order to promote efficacy and actions towards dismantling such systems (Diemer et al. 2016) and (ii) cultivating youths' transformative capacity through youth-led organizations that enhances participants' CC while also bolstering their capacity to lead initiatives that promote equity through skill development and resource allocation (Schwartz et al. 2021). Together, these efforts are hypothesized to help cultivate youth's ability to individually and collectively reflect on and act against oppressive systems that most directly impact their lives.Given the liberatory promises of transformative change, such efforts have become a particularly important focus among scholars seeking to disrupt the oppressive systems that maintain mass incarceration, especially within the United States (Alexander, 2012). Indeed, there is a rich history of activists engaging in on-the-ground efforts to transform unjust systems of mass incarceration in order to promote safety and well-being for individuals most vulnerable for entrapment into the legal system (Davis et al. 2022). This includes girls and gender-expansive (GE) youth of color who experience significant harm within and across systems of mass incarceration. Specifically, this group now comprises the fastest growing segment of the juvenile legal population; reports disproportionately high mental, physical, and sexual health challenges; and experiences heightened punishment and surveillance across child serving systems (e.g., education, child welfare, mental health, juvenile legal) compared to other adolescent groups (Ehrmann et al. 2019; Sherman & Balck, 2015). Given these disparities, scholars increasingly shift their focus on understanding girls' "risky behaviors" to the ways that intersecting forms of oppression (e.g., sexism and racism) compound harm for system-impacted girls of color and leave them vulnerable to legal contact (Baumle, 2018; Sherman & Balck, 2015).Despite the rich history of activists leading transformative change efforts to dismantle systems of mass incarceration (Davis et al. 2022), there is a lack of empirical research investigating the processes and potential of transformative change led by girls of color entrapped within the juvenile legal system specifically. Since systems-impacted girls of color occupy a multiply marginalized group, their invisibility within transformative change scholarship represents a critical gap given the liberatory potential of such efforts to promote equity and wellbeing for disenfranchised communities. To address these gaps, this dissertation focuses on understanding whether and how systems-impacted girls and gender-expansive (GE) youth of color report experiences consistent with transformative change processes and efforts. First, Study 1 uses a latent class analysis (LCA) approach to examine patterns of critical consciousness among 272 legal system-impacted girls. Study 2 uses a qualitative, grounded theory approach to understand the multi-level processes that promote transformative change through one youth-led community organization that is led by system-impacted girls, women, and GE youth of color. Both studies incorporate an intersectional framework to better understand the racialized and gendered processes that characterize systems-impacted girls' transformative processes. Together, this multi-method dissertation will advance current scholarship by exploring how system-impacted girls of color engage in transformative change efforts within the context of mass incarceration.
