Research
Interests:
Social injustice: when do we perceive
social arrangements as unjust, and when do we blame victims?; the contexts in
which injustice is most pronounced and what are the ideological conditions in
which unjust arrangements appear simply fair or deserved. These are the
questions I ask in my work with public high schools, prisons and youth in urban
communities. More specifically, I am a social psychologist engaged with both
qualitative and quantitative methods, studying when injustice is perceived, when
it is resisted and how it is negotiated by those who pay the most serious price
for social inequities. My research is typically participatory, with youth and/or
activists, drawing from feminist, critical race and critical theories. All of my
projects are collaboratively conducted with graduate students, and one of my
great professional pleasures is helping to nurture the next generation of
critical intellectuals.

Sociology
http://maxweber.hunter.cuny.edu/socio/faculty/lazreg.html
Research Interests:
Professor Lazreg’s research
interests stem from her desire to unravel the epistemological, cultural and
political constructions of non-European social formations as mediated by
colonial ventures, and more contemporary forms of domination. An incurable
theorist, she cannot dispense with field work as well as archival research. In
addition to gender and development, she is interested in cultural movements
(especially the Kabyle-Berber movement in Algeria); French colonial history and
empire studies; the philosophy of the absurd as used by Albert Camus;
biotechnology; Islam and politics; torture and identity; and postmodernist
theory.

Eugenia Paulicelli
Comparative Literature
http://web.gc.cuny.edu/CompLit/faculty_pages/epaulicelli.htm
Research Interests:
The major areas of Eugenia
Paulicelli's research are the word/image relationship and the impact this
interaction and new technologies have had on our perception and cognition of the
world around us, the language we use and on writing and memory. Central to her
research is the notion of gender and how it has transformed our knowledge of the
past and our understanding of aesthetic, political, and social manifestations of
reality, whether literary writing or systems of signification and communication
such as fashion. In addition she is interested in exploring the intersections of
literary writing and politics in crucial epochs of social and cultural
transformations in Italy. These
concerns have taken various forms in her scholarly publications: from the debate
among the disciplines in Renaissance Italy and the study of Italian poets and
writers who have shown a fascination with or inspiration from art and visual
culture to the cultural politics of fascism and the use it made of fashion,
style and the media as well as on studies in which she focuses on literature and
the craft of writing.

Criminal Justice
http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/sociology/facultyprofile/sokoloff.asp
Research Interests:
Her most recent research is
on domestic violence in immigrant communities. With the growing importance of
issues concerning criminal justice and gender over the last 30 years, her
cutting-edge work appeals to large and wide ranging audiences. Her approach is
to use a framework which understands that the socially structured systems of
race and class inequality are equally as important as gender inequality when
studying women’s increasing incarceration rate and the violence that women
experience.

The Criminal Justice System
and Women: Offenders, Prisoners, Victims, and Workers, 3rd Ed. (with Barbara
