About

Dominique Moran’s research and teaching is in the new sub-discipline of ‘carceral geography’, a geographical perspective on incarceration. She has recently completed an interdisciplinary ESRC-funded research project looking into women’s experience of imprisonment in contemporary Russia, is author of the forthcoming book 'Carceral Geography: Prisons, Power and Space' and an editor of the forthcoming collection ‘Carceral Geographies: Mobility and Agency in Spaces of Imprisonment and Detention’. Her work is transdisciplinary, informed by and extending theoretical developments in geography, criminology and prison sociology, but also interfacing with contemporary debates over hyperincarceration, recidivism and the advance of the punitive state. She publishes in leading journals including Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, and Environment and Planning D: Society and Space.
