Hi everyone,

We are very excited to share the details of our next Cambridge Decolonising Criminology Network seminar which will be held on 27th June at 3 pm (BST). This time we have with us Dr. Andrew M Jefferson from DIGNITY & Dr. Samantha Jeffries, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Griffith University who would be shedding some light on their recent book 'Gender, Criminalisation, Imprisonment and Human Rights in Southeast Asia (Emerald, 2022).

Please find the details below:

Title: Exploring the Gendered Harms of Imprisonment in Southeast Asia: Critical and Reflexive Perspectives

Summary: Drawing on their newly published book Gender, Criminalization, Imprisonment and Human Rights in Southeast Asia (Emerald, 2022), co-editors Andrew M. Jefferson (DIGNITY – Danish Institute Against Torture) and Samantha Jeffries (Griffith University) will present the core threads of the book and reflect critically on its conditions of production – during a pandemic, adjacent to a military coup, and at the interface between activist scholars from the north and south. By so doing, they will shed light on a neglected region and invite further discussion of the gendered harms of imprisonment, the scholarly activist pursuit of mutual interests, and the dilemmas of representation

Speakers: Dr. Andrew M Jefferson is a Senior Researcher at DIGNITY – Danish Institute against Torture where among other things he is a Principal Investigator on the project Legacies of Detention in Myanmar. He has been with DIGNITY for over two decades occupying academic positions at the cutting edge of theory/ practice within what is a predominantly activist human rights organization. His work focuses on ethnographies of prisons and prison reform processes in the global south and has featured a range of collaborations with activist organizations engaged in torture prevention, human rights work, and prison reform. He also co-convenes the Global Prisons Research Network.

Dr. Samantha Jeffries is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice/Griffith Criminology Institute, Griffith University. Her research focuses on marginalized social statuses, criminalization, victimization, and justice. She has conducted research on LGBTIQA+ domestic violence, the s*x industry, problem-solving courts, sentencing, gender, and Indigeneity. In focus more recently, has been the needs and experiences of domestic violence victims in the family law system and restorative justice processes. Since 2015, she has been collaborating with the Thailand Institute of Justice undertaking studies in Southeast Asia and Kenya on gendered pathways to criminalization, women’s experiences of imprisonment, as well as re-integration and human rights.
