Deadline Extended: CFP: Race and Yoga 4.1 (2019) Institutionalized Yoga

Call for Papers: *Race and Yoga* Journal 4.1 (2019)

Special Cluster Theme: Institutionalized Yoga


The *Race and Yoga *editorial board is currently seeking articles, personal
narratives, and creative works for the fourth issue of the journal themed
“Institutionalized Yoga.”


Yoga is making its way outside the studio and proliferating in a variety of
institutional contexts. Yoga programs are cropping up in schools, prisons,
jails, and hospitals. Businesses from microbreweries to Fortune 500 are
incorporating yoga and mindfulness practices into their business models.


But with the increasing presence of the practice comes new questions
surrounding how and where it is being implemented. This issue of *Race and
Yoga* journal invites critical interrogations of yoga in institutions. How
are yoga practices being implemented in companies or major corporations?
How is yoga being taught in schools or clinics? In prisons or jails? Who is
being invited to teach and/or participate in these practices? How is harm
being perpetuated or mitigated? Who or what benefits from the addition of
yoga in these spaces?


Possible topics may include:


*Yoga in Jails and Prisons*

“Rewarding” Prisoners

Reframing Justice

Rehabilitating Prisoners or Prisons?

Humane Treatment?

Race and Gender Dynamics


*Yoga in School*

Who Teaches and Who Attends? (e.g. Race and Gender)

Yoga Secular/Non-Secular

Yoga Controversies


*Yoga at Work*

Yoga for Capitalism

Yoga for Productivity

*Yoga in the Military*

Disciplinary Regimes
