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.

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.

Paulicelli

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.
