Dr Jessica Braimoh is a critical sociologist whose teaching and research interests include the interrelation between race, class, gender and criminalization; socio-legal processes and organizing institutions (e.g., social welfare, education); and the experiences of “at-risk” populations. Guided by principles of social justice, Jessica's research uses a social justice lens to investigate the institutional processes by which marginalization and practices of social exclusion are reproduced as well as the ways these processes are interrupted.
