Soooooooooooooo ..........
I am turning my experience into a dissertation topic.
Here are my problem statement choices:
The problem that this study addresses is that mothers and their incarcerated sons are being forced into a space of silence and invisibility by a society that operates on principles vastly different from and very judgemental of the norms and mores these groups are forced to establish within their marginalized space.
or:
The problem that this study addresses is that mothers of incarcerated children are forcing these children into a space of silence and invisibility because of the principles of a society that operates much differently from and very judgemental of the norms and mores this group is forced to establish within its marginalized space.
What do you think?
Now I must develop a purpose statement and questions, find possible participants, and write a proposal.............

I like the sound of the first statement.
I think the first statement is better because the second sounds like the mothers are forcing their incarcerated children into silence because of peer pressure, not that society is forcing both the mom's and their child into silence. It's an interesting topic. How are the mores and values of the incarerated different than society as a whole?
i suspect that the first is the most likely for you to research, but the second might be extremely interesting ...
I think they both sound fascinating, and I'd read either one. Good luck!
I like the thought of encompassing both male and female children, as it is happening more and more these days. And this is something that definitely needs to be addressed. Best of luck with it.
They both sound really great and I think this is perfect!
I have a dear friend who is in your position. I will tell her about this.
