MSU TALK: "Justice Reimagined in the Case of Wrongful Convictions."
(Courtesy of the Creative Research Center at Montclair State University.)
I share my research as widely as I can, and love to discuss ways we can work together to improve the criminal justice system.
I’ve presented my findings at national academic conferences around the country: the National Innocence Network Conference, the American Society of Criminology, the Law and Society Association, the Criminal Justice Association, and the Justice Studies Association.
I am available to speak at your organization or conference. Please send me an email with a brief description of your event, the topic to be discussed, and the best way to reach you. I’ll be sure to get back to you right away.
