Erin M. Kerrison is a doctoral candidate in the Criminology program at the University of Delaware. Broadly, Erin’s research agenda intersects at corrections, reentry, life-course criminology, urbanization, stratification, intersectionality, sociolegal theory, and desistance. Currently, her mixed-method dissertation research explores how contemporary collateral consequence legal reform impacts the desistance effort both collectively (measured by quantitative multi-level analyses of rearrest patterns disaggregated by reentry cohort) and at the individual level (captured via depth interviews probing constructions of legal consciousness, deterrence, and agency). More specifically she is interested in how within each cohort, the reentry experience may differ as race- and gender-specific contexts vary. Erin very much enjoys teaching courses in Criminal Justice, Criminology, Classical Social Theory, and Urban Sociology to a diverse student body.
