Dr Bree Carlton is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin University. Her research centres on two key areas: histories of anti-carceral protest and histories of punishment and institutionalisation. In particular she seeks to identify and explore intersections between the two areas and how these connections might help us to better understand collective visions, memories and struggles for penal change and social justice. Ultimately through her research endeavours Bree hopes to illuminate strategies than can inform contemporary struggles and official agendas driven to eliminate prison generated violence and harm.
