Keramet Reiter, professor of Criminology, Law and Society at UC Irvine School of Social Ecology, presents: "Bounding Knowledge: The Role of Correctional Experts in Prison Reform Litigation." Professor Reiter is the director of Leveraging Inspiring Futures Through Educational Degrees (LIFTED), the first in-prison BA-degree completion program in the UC system, and co-founder of PrisonPandemic, a living, digital archive that tracks people’s stories across time (with retrospective accounts from the start of the pandemic and moving forward) and place (across state prisons, county jails, federal prisons, and immigration detention facilities).
Hosted by the UCI Center in Law, Society and Culture, the Socio-Legal Studies Workshop is an interdisciplinary seminar that brings together scholars both within and beyond the UCI community working at the intersections of law, social sciences, humanities, and the arts to discuss works-in-progress. The Workshop also features a series of book talks in which authors discuss their recently published work.
