In recent years, politicians and advocates have sought to expand the use of conservatorships: a legal tool used to force someone deemed “gravely disabled,” or unable to meet their needs for food, clothing, or shelter as a result of mental illness, to take medication and be placed in a locked facility. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with professionals, policy makers, families, and conservatees, this talk examines how California's conservatorship system is currently functioning and dysfunctioning in the lives of some of the state's most vulnerable citizens. It traces how the state's conservatorship power is deployed in inconsistent and fragmented ways: on the streets where police encounter homeless people in crisis, the locked wards where people receiving treatment are confined, and the courtrooms where judges decide on conservatorship petitions. As the book argues, California’s state government has abdicated authority over this system, leaving the question of who receives compassionate care and who faces constraint dependent on the financial incentives of for-profit facilities, the constraints of under-resourced clinicians, and the desperate struggles of families to obtain treatment for their loved ones. The book thus provides a broader examination of the intermixing of government abandonment and coercive intervention in the contemporary management of marginalized populations.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="color:#ef8484"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Link to research paper:</span></span></strong><span style="color:#ef8484"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif"> </span></span><a href="https://ucr.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=87a26b4849754cfe8bba0680d&id=4f5112c297&e=005124db53" style="color:#ef8484" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">https://oxthepunx.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/2022-barnard-from-the-magna-carta-to-dying-on-the-streets-smh.pdf</span></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="color:#ef8484"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Bio</span>:</span></strong><span style="color:#ef8484"> </span><a href="https://ucr.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=87a26b4849754cfe8bba0680d&id=147dba8c06&e=005124db53" style="color:#ef8484" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ef8484"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">https://alexvbarnard.org/</span></span></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p></div></td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#fcd340;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px" valign="top"><div id="m_-7890017130496177658m_2494780213094732328m_3494283662065014726dataBlockId-12" style="width:100%"><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Boxed lunch provided to the first 15 in attendance</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Space is limited</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Any questions, please email:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif"><a href="mailto:nicole.jimenez@ucr.edu" target="_blank">nicole.jimenez@ucr.edu</a></span></span></p></div></td></tr><tr><td style="background-color:#f4f4f4;padding-top:8px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:8px;padding-left:8px" valign="top"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" id="m_-7890017130496177658m_2494780213094732328m_3494283662065014726section_fe72fece993026fdea474d29da99da34"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:#f4f4f4;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="12" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-bottom:12px" valign="top" colspan="12" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:16px;padding-left:16px" align="center" valign="top"><div id="m_-7890017130496177658m_2494780213094732328m_3494283662065014726dataBlockId-5" style="display:inline-block;width:100%"><p><br></p></div></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td style="background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" colspan="12" width="100%"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><div><div><a href="https://ucr.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=87a26b4849754cfe8bba0680d&id=c33b53fd3a&e=005124db53" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img style="max-width:100%" width="137" height="53" alt="Email Marketing Powered by Mailchimp" title="Mailchimp Email Marketing" src="https://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/monkey_rewards/intuit-mc-rewards-1.png"></a></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
