"I Didn't Do Nothin'": The Discursive Construction of School Suspension.
Vavrus, Frances; Cole, KimMarie
Urban Review, v34 n2 p87-111 Jun 2002
Conducted observations, interviews, and videotaped lessons at a multiethnic high school to investigate sociocultural factors influencing school suspension. Suspensions frequently occurred in the absence of physical violence or blatant verbal abuse. Suspensions were generally preceded by a series of nonviolent events, with one disruptive event singled out. Suggests that suspension is highly contextualized and based on subtle race and gender relations. (SM)
