- Double-weighted statement
- Thurston’s single-authored monograph examines how Texas museums and tourist sites associated with prisons and punishment both reflect and help constitute the harsh identity of the Texan penal system. The book meets the criteria for double weighting as: it is a longer-form output reflecting a sustained effort in terms of original research; it reflects extensive access to Texan museums and tourist sites as primary empirical sources; and subsequently, the collection and analysis of a large body of material. Finally, the monograph reflects a sustained investigation of a penal regime and its relations to specific place-based identities and myths in substantial depth.
