Biography

My research focuses on prisons, prisoners and criminal justice exploring questions about the governance, organisation, representation and experiences of punishment. A key strand of my research is on policy as a key site and source of culture, and in the specific bureaucratic qualities and logics that arise in penal institutions. To explore such issues I draw on diverse methods (ethnography, statistical analysis, semiotics, discourse and metaphor analysis, evaluation) and theoretical sources (anthropology of policy, human geography, ANT/STS, critical theory).

I am currently working on a project called Paper Cuts: Prisons, Bureaucracy and Violence, exploring structural and administrative violence in prison and relating this to bureaucratic forms of organisation generally.

During COVID-19, I co-led the Scotland in Lockdown study, as part of a large team conducting rapid research on the impact of lockdown for groups already facing isolation (June 2020-Feb 2021). The study was funded by the Chief Scientist Office, Scottish Government.

I was Director of the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research (2016-19). I have a BA in history from Carleton College (Minnesota, USA); and a JD and PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.  I have been a visiting fellow at the Unviersity of Toronto and the University of California, Berkeley.

I am Co-editor in Chief of the journal Crime Media Culture with Katherine Bieber and Travis Linneman
