Research Interests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Dr. Rampersaud's research and teaching, she focuses on the complex relationships between race, punishment, law, and justice. She combines insights from critical race, punishment, and abolition theories to examine issues of racial and social justice, the purpose of punishment, and the impacts of societal structures on differently situated children, youth, and families. Her approach to research is firmly rooted in praxis, and she works closely with the communities who inform my research to cultivate projects from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
