Academic Profile

In both my teaching and research, I aim to critically examine the ideology, structure, and practices of criminal justice institutions to better understand their impact on the lives of those affected by them. My work seeks to explore and analyze the collateral consequences inherent in law enforcement, courts, and corrections.
 
My current research focuses on the causes, consequences, and legacy of wrongful convictions. My work has been published in Contemporary Justice Review, Conflict Resolution Quarterly, Criminal Justice Policy Review, Psychology, Crime & Law, among others. I also serve as an editorial board member for Contemporary Justice Review and as a consultant on human rights education. Additionally, I am the Department Chair for the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
