Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Interdisciplinary approaches to examining temporality in childhood reveal the tensions that surround Western childhood ideals. To reflect the reality of some children, childhoods must be analyzed within the spatial conditions in which childhood is experienced. Using the examples of five Black girls who faced the discrimination of adultification bias, I examine the elusive notions of protection, innocence, and being and becoming for Black children. Drawing on theoretical framing of Black geographies, to underpin the examination of Blackness and being, this article explores childhood experiences of Black girls in North America and their contemporary link to enslavement.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
