Henry James

Collapsing Trust and Expanding Punishment in the Post-Great Society United States


Supervisors:

Professor Gareth Davies and Professor Jonathan Bell

My research focuses on the political and intellectual debates surrounding the issues of crime and poverty in the United States during the second half of the twentieth century. I am interested in the relationship between ideological constructions of crime and poverty and the broader phenomenon of collapsing societal and institutional trust during the period. Questions of race, class, and American individualism are central to the study.
